with the following extracts, which throw
some light upon the pretension set ,, first
and last, by Mr.. POlk's administration, in
the conduct of affairs with the Mexican
Republic.
1t appears that SAM HoUsroN opposed
the Treaty at the outset. He introduced a
resolution TO reject it, preceded by long
preamble, giving his reasons. One of his
reasons IS in these words:
"And whereas it has been declared to be
the object of the present war to obtain in.
demnny for the past and security for The fu
lure and as it is most probable that the do
main proposed 10 be ceded by Mr.. TIist's

be covered by fraudulent grants il the agree
ment should become Treaty, leaving TO
the United States mere civil and political
jurisdiction of the same, while il would be
ercumbered by conditions relative TO the
Indians which would be worth more, in q
Ipecuniary point Of view, than all the va.

the United States no indemnity ofhouor foI
