' ? Were I to listen exclusively lo my pwn feelings and opinions, I;vould say, that if the propositions which 1 have attempted to establish are correct if I am not mis taken in my sincere conviction that . the war was unprovoked by the Mexicans, and has been one of iniquitom aggression on our part; it necessarily follows- that, accqriiing to' the dictates of justice, the U. States are bound to indemnify them, for having invaded their territory, bombarded their towns, and inflicted all the miseries of war on a peop.j who were' fighting in defence of their on n homes. If all this be true," the United btatev would give but an inadequate' corrprr:salion' for. the injuries thev have Inflicted, by assuming the pay ment of the indemnities justly duo to iheirJ own.cilizens. liven tl a lair purcbaso ot territory should he convenient to both parties it would lo far preferable lo post pone it for the present among Other rea sons InC'dcr tl. .1 it should not have the Appearance of beiPg imposed on .Mexico.
