different Positions which General Cass has held al
different times the question Of the Wilmot Provi-

that he had had the kettle; secondly, that il
was broken when he borrowed III and thirdly that il
was whole when he returned it. Here follows the
application .$
Gen. Cass was in 1876 for the Wilmot Proylso--
he never had the kettle In 947 the Wilmot Proviso

Mr.. Brantz Mayer Up. 299 estimates the entire area
OF the Mexican Republic at l650,000 square miles,
but he furnishes no detail showing how this aggregate
is composed. Mr.. Disturnel gives tabular state
ment Of items and summary of $50, 30f square
miles. The territorial acquisition contemplated by
the proposition would thus embrace more than $780,
600 square miles, to which the United States had no
pveence of title and Il quit claim from Mexico OF
other 60 900 square miles, the right to which was
controverted upon other grounds than the alleged in
validity Of the annexation Of Texas
The value OF this contemplated acquisition does not
admit OF even very close approximation. The esti-
mates are various and contradictory Upper Cali

Francisco, Monterey, Santa Barbara, San Diego and

which was thus demanded, are 70 be fonnd many
mines Of the precious metals which have only been
sufficiently explored to indicate their great richness
and value. The political and commercial benefits
resulting from such extension Of our limits par
ticularly the shores OF the Pacific, wholly con-
lectura and scarcely admit of pecuniary valuation,
without including them in the calculation, the
present and immediate value Of the proposed cesson
cannot be estimated at,ess than one hundred millions
Of dollars
II therefore appears that the Executive proposed

he determined to proceed. But finding that he
too was increasing the laurels that already
encircled hisAbrow, and that he was likely to
acquire the honor Of concluding peace with
Mexico, subordinate clerk Of the State
Department was despatched with full pow
ers to negotiate with the Mexican Govern
ment, and to propose such terms as might be
honorable to both governments. The Com
mander-in- Chief was to be thrown aside, and,
perhaps, not even consulted in matter so
important to the nation Contrary to the
usages Of all foreign nations, he who had sue
cessfully carried on the war, and everywhere
conquered the enemy, was not to enjoy the
privilege Of bringing that war to an end by
negotiating the terms Of peace or acquiring
fresh laurels as successful pacificator. II
was direct insult offered to him by the Adj
ministration, and one which should excite the
Indignation Of the whole country. Such has
been the unjust, pusillanimous and disrepuz
table course pursued by the Administration
from the commencement Of the war to the
present time--a course alike discreditable
to our brave generals, and the armies under
them, and to the character Of the nation,
