1t appears that there was an omission of an i'm
portant part of the Hon. REvERDY JoHNsoN's re-
marks on the Ten Regiment Bill, which has given
rise TO some misunderstanding as to his true posi-
ton on the War question. The following is the
omitted part:
So far | have been considering the Justice of the
war as between the two belIigerenis-the United
States agd Mexico, as nations. But another and .

and have ever agreed with my political friends, and
