THE TRUE BOUNDARY OF TEXAS.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune, who
signs himself a Texan" declares il TO be utter
ly false" that the Government of Texas maintained
authority over the strip of land lying between the
Nueces and the Rio Grande from the period OF
their Declaration Of Independence. In proof OF
which he makes the following statement, which, il
may not be amiss here TO state, is substantially
corroborated by direct information which we have
ourselves received upon the subject:

In the same column Of the " Union with the
article from which the above is extracted, we meet
with another attempt TO influence action here by
opinion from abroad, which in this instance, how.
ever, is said TO be from an intelligent AMERICAN
abroad who writes to the Editor of the Union
that he has received the Presidents message and
'Iis, delighted with it, It's sentiments are such az

SOBER CONSIDERATION.
rnon rur JOURNAL OF conNrRcr.


We have in our War arrived at point for sober
consideration. Looking back 10 the beginning,
hardly in the nation we think, will not regret
even passed beyond the Nueces We can look al
the present. Mexico is subdued, and lies physi-
cally at feet, and yet does not sue for peace
and hardly has she the ability remaining to possess
Government which would be worth our recogni-
ton. Any treaty which her present so-caled
Government might make would rather be an occa-
sion than cause for terminating the war. A great
portion OF her people sit quietly in their houses STILL
They have been so used to uproar and the din of
war, that this has but little increased the in
terest of their feelings. They are not subdued in
feeling nor aroused perhaps to any great effort at
resistance. The war so far has cost them much
less money than it has cost u.s. but more lives,
though generally of less individual value. We have
gained great military glory, and Mexico has lost
every thing IN comparlson though in the abstract
she has shown more courage, Skill and resources of
all sorts, than the world supposed she possessed.
Upon the whole the damage and the danger have
been greater on our side than hers. We put into
the wager great, prosperous, and happy nation,
with institutions the freest and choicest ever pos
sessed by any nation, and she put in nationality
and institutions hardly worth the keeping. If we
look to the future see thatthe strength is all on our
side, and OF course the action must be ours. There
are certain things which we can do, but others we
cannot do. We cannot control the wills of the
Mexicans. We cannot compel them TO remain
bound by the treaty stipulations Of their present
Government. We can fall back we can go forward
But we cannot compel the Mexcans TO love us.

When the startling disclosure was made that the
Administration would insist on dismembering Mex
leo, and was disposed to adopt the abhorred prin-
ciple OF conquering and annexing the whole terri
tory, those Wto had sustained he ,cdr aud aduo-
Gated It's cigorous prosecution were brought to a
sudden stand, and induced to contemplate the effect
likely to be produced on the Union should the sys-
tenn OF wholesale annexation be carried into effect
The examination satisfied them that the measure
proposed, if adopted. would prove destructive Of
ne Cn'on, and bighfing 10 the prosperity Of the
nation. They believed that a fatal deviation from
the established principles of our Government was
about 10 take place, and they preferred that Mexico
should receive no further punishment, rather than
that country with its ignorant and factious popula-
ton Of whites, muattoes, and half-breeds and In.
dians, should be incorporated with the freemen Of
the United States. To oppose the continuance Of
the war; if il is to be conducted for the purpose Of
conqucring and annexing Mexico TO the Union, in
stead Of being justly chargeable with giving " aid
and comfort to the enemy, is patriotic and sacred
duty, masmuch as IL looks TO The preservation Of
our country. II the war be confined to the origi.
