Speech of Hon. Howell Cobb, of Ga,
Mr. COBB said

MrCOBB said;
MIR SpEAKER: 1t has been socmnly asserted
BY the majority Of this House, our records, that
the present war with Mexico was unnecessarily
and uncons,ilulionay begun by tho President of
the United States take it that gentlemen, in
voting this declaration, intend TO convey fully the
idea-which the language employed by them I'M
port,-lhat the wal is an unnecessary one; that 1t
could easily have been avoided by tho exercise oil
proper wisdom, discretion, and foresight on the
part of the President, provided he had been actu.
ated BY patriotic motives IN adopting the various
measures which he has taken in reference 10 IT.;
and thereby holding him responsible before the
country for all tho blood that has been split, and
all the treasure that has been expended in It's pros
ecuIion. The charge is a grave and serious one,
mpu,ng the deepest moral ,urpude to the Prcsi'
dent; and those who have made ii, with such form.
al solemny, should be held to a strict accounta'
bity a, the bar of public opinion, If, upon due
examination Of The facts It should appear TO be
utterly gronndless neither sustained by evidence,
nor supported by argument.
The net OF the President upon which this charge
is founded, and which is thus to involve him in
such heavy responsibility, is the order issued, I'M
der his direction, by the Secretary of War, ON
the 18th Of January lS46, for the removal OF the
army from Corpus Christi to some proper and con.
venient point on the Rio GTande. This, sir, is
The head and from, oflhe offending of the President.
on account of which he Is charged with having
brought upon US all the calamity and disgrace
which necessarily result from having tho country
involved IN an unjust war with foreign nation.
1t may not be amss whilst we are examining
into the origin and causes Of this war, and seeking
to find the individuals upon whom tho responsible
~ OF it is justly chargcabe, to inquire into the OPP
inions which were entertained by those gent lemen
who are now so bold and reckless in their denun-
Citations Of The President, at tho time that the nm
nexalon Of Texas was the subject of our dellbera-
tons. II may not be wholly unins,ructve to re-
call to our recoections the scenes Of that day,
and the objections that were then urged against the
resolutions of annexation, as they were Familiarity
called when il was proposed to incorporate into
our Union the Republic Of Texas, us one Of our
free and sovereign States 1t would seem unca-
ed for to remind gentlemen who were here during
the discussion Of that measure, OF, indeed, those
who were familiar with the views and opinions oil
the public men and press Of the opposite party on
this subject, of the gloomy projections which they
essayed 10 send forth to the country as TO the
inevitable consequence that would result from the
contamination oflhe purposes of the friends oil
annexalion; and yet, sir, the votes OF gentlemen
upon the charge against the President, to which
am now abiding, demand that their memory
should bo refreshed spoa hi, subject They have
