this country. Who ever heard of disputed
territory as coming from a Mexican, till il
had been rung by these demagogues from
tie Sabine to the St. Johns? So little wa.
it deemed disputed that the t~wenty-nintl
Congress BY a singularly unanimity passed
a law extending civil jurisdiction over eve.
ry foot of this land. If their has been an,
wrongful possession taken of this territory
it was done by that act. When ar in
vaSion was threatened and proclaimed
throughout the Mexican Government, and
an army assembled upon the west side of
the Rio Grande, the President with the ad-
vice of Gen. Taylor, ordered him to ad-
vance to a position at or near its east bank,
to rcpell the invasion if attempted. This
is the mighty stretch of the zone man pow
en-" War did come, it was recognized by
the solemn act of Congress, men and means
were literally granted to prosecute it
These same p~eaher-cOcks, many of them,
then shouted Ioudest to arms to arms J.
Our brave. volunteers of all parties rushed
to their country's standard. A change has
about! ithas become the Presidents
war, our soldiers have been abandoned,
and their cause denounced. Mexico has
been furnished with arguments, and our
welcomed to inhospitable graves
They obtain a majority in Congress, and a
proposition is introduced TO withdraw our
army this side the Nueces. Now for put
ting their policy into practice, it is reject
by an overwhelming majority. Did they
their preaching to be right? their
was an opportunity to test it. Some one
prudent put their sincerity to the test,
md they ~repudiated their slang, while the
title ours with less reason still yell on in
heir fury.
