from (Mr CALHouS take strong and decided ground
against the absorption Of Mexico and the destruction of her
nationality was glad hear his voice raised against what
in my view would be Of the greatest Of crimes Of the
greatest Of political bunders But wonder; Mr. President,
that II did strike the honorable Senator that the injustice
OF seizng upon the whole by force injustice but in de-
gree superior to ezng upon any part by force that though
the enormiy of absorbing the whole of the Mexican terri
tory strikes with astonishment apd horror il but be-
cause the human mind strongly affected and impress
ed by subjects which appear arge yet that in truth the
SEIZURE OF foot Of Mexican soil just much invasion
Of the eternal principles Of right much sacrifice Of the
claims Of justice and the obligations which fellow
men, as the seizure Of the whole am opposed to the
quest by arms of Mexico any part of Mexico am OPP
posed wrestling from her inch Of her domain by the

II has been sadit said on this floor the time when
the resolutions Of the honorable Senator from South Carolina
were before the Senatethat the proposition contained in
them which condemns the conquest Of Mexico and the des
uucon OF her nationality proposition the assertion Of
which would be idle and uess because the destruction Of
the nationality Of Mexico is contemplated by AT the
nmc when heard the statement made enertaned the same
opnio and expressed that opinion the Senator himself
(Mr OaIHous here nodded assent) But an attentive
sderaton Of the report OF the Secretary Of war; and the means
demanded by the Presidents consideration Of the Important
TACT disclosed this day, that the President has refused upon
this sust 10 communicate bis views and plans in the further

on Offence having been taken by Mexico for cause,
real or supposed before the President sends his mission of
peace month before he sends an order is issued the object
and scope Of which 10 place military force within the
territory claimed and occupied by Mexico. Now is il not
obvious that this order had been fully carried into effect
calculated to the indignation of Mexico and
vent the settlement Of the differences between the two
tries II negotiation desirable, if the President himself
desired to settle the differences upon amcabe TERMS would
he have preceded mission Of peace by aggression upon
the Power with which he desired restore friendly relations
Lei be remembered hatI have shown the Senate already
that the President considered 1--WE have ii in the orders
mted to his ocers) that the expulsion Of the Mexicans from
the LEFT bank of the Rio Grandehe removal Of their settle
mentswas an act OF aggression, hostile act act to be
avoided in order to ensure the continuance Of and which
nothing would justify but the Of actual war;
Thus il me- that not only did the President bring
the by unlawful and unconstitutional act but that
he has prosecuted for the purpose Of conquest and Of
quest alone But this purpose the President did make
known Congress. He did submit Gas he should have
done the judgment Of Congress, whether they will
ling prosecute for the purpose Of making permanent
conquest Of the territory Of ncghbong republic. On the
contrary he carefully to have concealed his design from
Congress. In his special message of the 4h Of August 1896
to the Senate, he says expressly
"The chief difficulty be anticipated in the negotiation
the adjustment of the boundary between the parties line
which shall be satisfactory and convenient both and
such neither will hereafter be inclined disturb This
hood between the two republics should the Mexican Gov
ernment in order accomplish these objects, be 1cig

Now what notion the President attaches the term
quest" do not know To me plain that what had
been directed done before this message written and
what afterwards done by the military and naval officers
of the Government only without rebuke but with tho
press recognition the President Of the United States, is d
rect clear and unquesonabe conquest understand

WASHINGTON. Dec. II. l83s.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL, l8iS.
Mr.. Benton introduced from the military con-
mlttee, to-day, bill for contracting with Messfsi

ing to their memorial, for the night of way, &C..
for railroad across the Isthnlus of Panama. We
doubt not that the bill will pass without much OPP
position; and within three years the commerce Of
China win come up to New York, through the
Gulf Of Mexico; and ne man can tell the revenues
II will bring into the public treasury no man can
''el the changes, and improvements, and progress
hat single meaxure will work over the face of the
earth.
The Senate rest Gill Monday; but we suppose the
House will sit out the week Certainly they hsavs
no time to lose. The Senate, on the other ha I'd,
Is accustomed, and has of necessity, in ma ny
cases, to wait the action OF the House.
The time draws near for the election Of new
Senator to fill the place Of Mr. Walker, from WIS
consln. We suppose the democrats will retirn
him; for, besides being the handsomest man ia the
Senate he has given evidence of fine abilities sud
steady devotion to his duties. We do not know
HIM personally, save as Senator; but his friends
attest that IN social life, he Is modest, attractive,
and full of that varied information which 10 80 I'M

Next week we shall perhaps have some move
ment made 50 as to to the United States the
gold OF California. and TO the Treasury per oeutage
OF the Plcklngss OF the precious yellow earth from
the public lands.
The House will pass the provse, audit will be
rejected by the Senate; and the Senate will prrhans
pass a compromise, which will be rejected by tho
House so that in the end, we expect that no 20
Vernments will be passed for the territories tins
session.
Ii this be the case. Old lack will have to speak
