Speech Of Hon, I. J. RuSk, of Texas.
on THE .MEIIC.lV VAR


One Of the cIearcst, strongest, and most
sensible OF the many speeches that have
been delivered in both Houses of Congress
on the Mexican War, is that ofGen Rusk.
of Texas. The speech of the Texan
Senator is entirely divesred of Buncombe.
ism-of party slang-of stale and stereo.
typed argument lie speaks to the poin,
to the queslion-and uses arguments
that address themselves forcibIy to the
reason and judgement. His style is clear,
lucid and vigorous. A man of action
more than Of words, he prefers facts to
sophism-,he truths of history tolhe logic
of the schools. Having participated large
y in the events which are closely con.
necled with the origin aud continuation
of this war-having been one of the IIe-
roes of the Texan independence, and re-.
sided long time on the frontier-Gen.
Rusk brings to the question an unusual
amount of information and experience iea-
ting TO the matters under discussions:
The General commences his speech by
referring to the attemptto reduce the
limits of Texas, by assigning her the
Nueces, instead of The Rio Grande, as
her righlful western boundary. Speaking
of the aspersons upon the character OF
the gallant Texans, he says;
Now, sir. it is not necessary that should rise
in my place for the purpose of defending the charac-
ter of the people Of 'l'exas from newspaper SLAM
ders. Their conduct sir, is II sufficient vindica-
ton of them against such assaults, and the more
their true character is known, the more will il be
seen that they are entitled 10 respect and conf
dence. will further venture to assert, that
when the whole Of the circumstances connected
with her revolution and separation from Mexico,
shall become known, il will be admitted by every
dsnerestcd individual, that no people on the face
the earth ever had more just cause Of revolu-
ton than had the people of Texas. Whatever
may have been said in regard TO our being land
robbers, there were, al the commencement of our
struggle for independence, and are still many,
very many in Texas, who dare believe that we
were indebted for our final success to the benef-
cent Providence Of just and righteous God
And Mr. President, think il may be safely said,
that we manifested no small degree Of confidence
in the justice Of our cause, when, with a popula-
ton of less than thirty thousand, we dared TO ap
peal to arms, in contest with nation Of eight
millions. But sir, proceed.
81 might here go back and array names that
would command respect, and among them the
names of such men as Mr. Monroe, Mr. Madison,
Mr. Jefferson, and Mr. Clay, to establish The fact
that the territory of Texas extended originally to
the Rio Grade. But it is unnecessary Cor my
present purpose, 10 do so. The boundary of
Texas, as now claimed, is the boundary establish
ed By rerolntion, and that boundary is the Rio
Grdnde.

ference or control of any foreign Govern
ment or their agents, l would be con-
tent with n fair indemnity; but would run
the risk of the consequences oftaklng the
whole country rather than to see the peo-
pie exposed to the expressions of.he mill
tary power.
1T is said, Mr. President, that it would
be robbery to take away their country
from the Mexicans. On this point, |
would ask whether the principles of our
Government do not guaranty TO all of our
citizens the full enjoyment Of life, liberty,
and property? so, would not the ex-
tension Of our Government throughout
Mexico give perfect security to the in
badItanls, who would, in that event, be
entitled to the protection of our laws?-
Could this be called robbery, or would
the right Of property be dves;ed' How
would the rights Of individuals be, in any
degree, inleriered with, by reason of our
occupation of the country, or what sort of
robbery would it cause' 1t would be
nothing more nor less than this, Mr. Presi-
dent: 1t would take fom the tyrannical
military chiefs the power Of expressing
the people. 1t would deprive foreigners,
of their power and privilege to make use
of the Government for their own purposes,
in efecting their own aggrandisement and
enrichng themselves. 1t would afford
the country an opportunity to develope its
mighty resources, and prevent them from
being monopolized by few foreign cap
itaists, whose interests are in conflict
with those Of the United States. There
is one thing, however, sir, that | would
not be willing to do. would not be will
Iingto vote for treaty of peace that
would not secure to US the territory as far
as the Sierra Madre, including the Cali
fornas.
ri do not purpose to pursue this dis
cussion further at this time; bur, before
take my seat, Mr. President, I will venture
the assertion, that, if partisan political
motives be suffered to enter into and min
gle themselves with the management of
the present war-if protracted debate be
allowed to postpone the prompt and encr-
getc action necessary to bring it to a
successful and honorable termination
and if it be continued for twelve months
longer, Senators will find it impossible to
get rid of it, until we shall make up our
minds TO annex the whole of Mexico"

Mr.. BLIss,-Thc political aspect of affairs
in Europe is novel and striking. II furnishes
a sight calculated TO awaken all the highest
feelings OF the patriot and the philanthropist.
II presents the cheering sight of an enlIght-

earnestly aud determinedIy for their jus,
rights and privileges. The noble-the di
vine axiom. that "All men are born free and
equal" has there begun to put forth its
strength. The movement of the masses TO
huge strides, like a giant reused from the
long letharglc slumber of centuries, i'm
tent on gaining his just rights, exercising
his hitherto untried and consequently
unknown strength in his endeavors TO
win the contest. The struggle 10 every

valuable blood be split ? But wol to

The sigh, Of the masses of a nation
who have hitherto been debased, and
crushed, even unto the dust by the iron
hand ofdespotism and tyranny. rising as
one man, and enforcing compliance to
their just demands of equality, is a, once
grand and imposing; it is a sight which
will cause JOY of The purest nature to

and it is a struggle which will be viewed

Never, perhaps, in the br,ei history ri
Wisconsin, was there time which de
manded as much vigilance and energy on
the part of the Wing party, as the pres
ent. Never time when all sectional
and local differences should yield more
readily to the good of the public, than at
the approaching election A II portions OF
the Union are watching our movements,
and looking with interest for the result
This election is not one to decide whe,h-
er this or that man shall be elected, or
whether this or that portion of a county
or the Territory shall be represented, but
whether Wisconsin. upon her admission
into the Union shall stand among those
States that have so nobly sustained the
principles of Washington and Jefferson
principles sacred to every true Wing
principles for w.ich they will contend To
the la>t,-or whether she shall be classe !
among those states that bow the knee to
the mis- rule of james K. Polk Although
many of the wings qu STONED the policy Of
the war with Mexico, and doubted the
capacity of the administration properly
TO conduct it after it was commenced
yet, when the flag Of their country was
IN danger of Il tarni>h, with the spirit OF
their forefathcrs did they rally to the res
cue, and gloriously bore it on to victory.
Upon every battlefield have they willing
ly offered up their lives TO sustain the
honor Of their country. The Wings of
Wisconsin are now called upon as fear
lrssly to step forth with that iyrant killing
weapon, the ballot, and sustain the hon or
of our new State. They have now spread
is inscribed names worthy the cordial
support of every true friend of civil Iber-
ty - of all who regard the interests of
the growing West. Let every Wing
stand firm 10 his principles and move on
with energy in support of the candidates
now offered for their suffrage. With re-
gaId to their honesty. capability and sound
political princi pies, not doubt can exist.
To particularize would be needless
They are all men of integrltv--men of
talent--men of honor men well qualified
for the offices for which they are respec-
tivelv nominated, = and it now remains
for the Wings of Wisconsin { old Iowa
