Rather q OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Downs. of
Louisiana, says the Pennsylvania, closed his
speech IN the Senate, on Monday last, by
placing Mr.. Cr,tenden, of Kentucky, in an
lnextrlcable dilemma We quote from the
speech Of MIR. Downs, in the Debates of the
Senate:
:" Before l close, there is another fact which
| wish TO submit to the consideration of the
Senate. Those on the other side of the house.
contend that the President brought on the war
by ordering the army TO the Rio Grande, a Ter
ntory either belonging TO Mexico or in dis
pute. Whatever difference of opinion NAV
exist on the question of boundary, it was clear
ly the duty of the President to recognise the
Rio Grande as the true boundary. Acts of
Congress had recognized it as such; they
were the laws of the land, and he was bound
to obey them, whatever opinions may have
been entertained by the Mexican government,
or others, on the question of boundary. That
he was right in considering this American ter
rltory, and the Mexican troops as invading it,
is clearly proved by the proceedings of this
body, on the 18th of May, 1886, when the
bill recognizing the war was under considera-
ton. | will here extract from the journal of
the Senate:
"On motion by Mr.. Crittenden to amend
the bill by striking out section ], lines 4, the
words to prosecute said war to a speedy and
successful termination,' and in lieu thereof to
insert to repel inrasion, and otherwise pro-
secatte Aost'hties untH the country be secured
from the danger Of further 1arasion.'
This was determined in the negative, yeas
2O-nays 20 How can it he contended after
this, that the President made this war, or that
1t was not made on the American soil? How
could the Senator from Kentucky mir. Crit
tendenl call it invasion unless the Mexican
army crossed over into American soil? He
and they who voted with him must have so
considered it at the time How can they then
say now, that the President made this war;"
If Senator Crttenden does not feel that the
Senator from Louisiana has rather headed
him, we shall be Norfolk Are,.s

The Mormons- St. Louis Republican
publishes circular addressed by the " Twelve
Apostles,' to the members of the Mormon
Church. 1t cantains an interesting history OF
their privations and sutferngs since their ex-
pulsion from Nauvoo, and their future pros
poets and intentions. Their principal abiding
place, hereafter, will be in the valley OF the
Great Salt Lake, occupying central position
between the Pacific and the Mississippi. Their
numbers will be greatly increased by emigra
ton the coming season, as many thousands of
their scattered members are in expectation of
joining them. The Republican adds:
"Their progress has been as incredible as
their belief is absurd The present site of
their church, in the midst of mountains, on
the margin of the Great Salt Lake, and cut off
on all sides from other settlements, by belt
OF sterile and mountainous country OF nearly
| five hundred miles in breadth, gives to their
present position and enterprise novelty which
will attract hundreds 10 them and they conf
