Mn. Buffers SpEEcu.-The following
sketch of Mr.. Buffers speech in the United
States Senate, on the Ten Regiment Bill.
is furnished by the Washington correspon.
dent of the Baltimore American.
Mr.. Butler held that this was iuncture
in our affairs, and that as wise men we
ought to prepare for the crisis. There were
men upon the floor Of the Senate ready TO
support the Executive in every scheme, no
matter how grand or magnificent They
would vote 100000 more if the Executive
desired it. This attempt to revolutionize
Mexico, and to make that country part
of our institution involved principles which
greatly endangered the welfare of the re-
public. 1t was not possible to make such
a people harmonic with our government
Mr.. Butler discussed his amendment, which
was TO fill up the regiments already in Mex
leo, rather than create the ten new regi-
ments. If the Senate passed the bill now
before the Senate, there would have TO be
more than five hundred officers. If it had
come 10 ihis--that men would not enlist un-
less under some political movement it was
time the fact was known.
Mr.. Butler made out that by his plan
Gen. Scott would have at least $4,000 men
with whom to overrun Mexico. All they
had to do was TO keep in awe distracted
population; sequester revenues; confiscate
public property, and to act as armed jailors.
Napoleon had not many more men than
this when he invaded Italy. This was the
first war of invasion we had had, and he
trusted it would be the last.
1t was avowed on this floor even, tina,
the humiliation of Mexico, as an indepen'
dent State, was designed. Some looked to
it as Province, and others for its ABSORB.
ton at once into our government.
Mr. Butler spoke Of the battles Tough
and the victories won, and put the fruits Of
them all down only as a crop of heroes
there was no peace, and he feared there
would be none. Complete submission wa'
the panacea of the Executive TO ensure
! peace.
Mr., Butler thought the Executive ough
TO take course from circumstances aroun'

REvERDY JOHNsON's SPEECH

EE ENDI JOHNSON > cPEECH.
We make the following extracts from
the speech of Senator Johnson, Of Mary
land. Mr. Johnson believes the war just,
on the part of the United States.
So far have been considering the JUS
tice Of the war between the two bell!ger-
ents--the United States and Mexico-as
nations. But another and a material in.
qury presents itself What, independent
of the attack upon our troops on the Rio
Grande, the immediate cause of the war,
was its remote cause! Upon this point
agree, believe, and have ever agreed with
my political friends, and, as | think, with
hundreds and thousands of our political
opponents. That cause is to be found in
two measures of the President Of the Uni
ted States. The first, the mode he pur-
sued under the resolutions Of the lst March,
40, to consummate the annexation of Texas
to our Union. The second, and the more
direct and immediate cause, his order to
march our troops TO the Rio Grande.
Upon both these points | proceed to give
my opinion with the frankness which be-
comes me. and at the same time the deco
rum which is due to the chief executive
officer of the government.
FIRST. The mode to be adopted of con-
summaling annexation. The resolution of
Congress of lst March, presented alterna-
tive modes Under the one, Texas was
to be admitted without any precedent def
milton of her boundaries. Under the other,
there was to be such definition. Sir,
will not stop to enquire into the secret his
tory of that resolution. in this body. The
treaty which preceded it had been rejected.
because it prescribed no other boundary
than that which Texas claimed. 1t was
rejected, as appears by the debates in this
chamber, because, in the Judgment of some
Senators on the other side, such claim was
untrue and invalid--invaid because large
portion of the territory embraced within
the asserted limits was clearly portion OF
Mexico. The treaty being rejected, the
resolution of the Ist March, 1915, came
to the Senate. That too, was open to the
same objection as the treaty. 1t left the
boundary to depend on the claim Of Texas
1t was impossible for those who thought
the treaty was obnoxious on that ground
and on that ground voted against it, &c
give their support.
But they did vote for il, after getting
it amended by the insertion of an alterna
tive mode. Sir, how happened it that this
change of form reconciled them to the
measure? Could it have been for any
other reason than because they were salts
fed that that alternative would be pursued
by the President Such alternative olivia
ted the objection of an unsettled and unjus
boundary. 1t looked to negotiation as tn
remedy to avoid all difficulty either witt
Texas or Mexico. 1t looked to annexa
ton. without the hazard of war, and wa
designed for the pure and patriotic pur
pose of maintaining the peace and homo
/ of the United States. Now, sir, do no
| allcge that this was the ground Of thci
