be no resort to Treasury notes. They
cannot be materially increased without a
ruinous depreciation; and a resort must be
had exclusively, or almost entirely ao,
j to borrowing. But, at the present prices
of stocks, to borrow so large a sum aa will
be necessary can only be tlone at a greatly
increased rate of interest on the nominal
amount of stock". In a recent conversation
with a gentleman well informed on this
auhject, he said that, in his opinion, if for
ty millions are required, a loan ronld not
be had for more than ninety for one hun
dred, which would be'about at the rate of ''
seren per cent.'
These are ' formidable objections, but
they are nol ihe only ones that are more
so than they were at the commencement,
of the last campaign. I hold that the J
avowed object for the vigorous prosecntion
of the war is less certain of being realized
now than it was then; and, if it should fail
to be realized, it will leave our affairs in
a far worse condition than they are at pre
sent. ' That object, as has been stated, is
to obtain an honorable treaty ; one which,
to use the language of the President, will
give indemnity for the past and security
for the future that is, a treaty which will
give us a cession" of territory not only :
equal to our present demand for indcmni-.
ty, but equal lb the additional demand;
equal to the entire expenses to be incurred
in conducting the campaign, and a guaranty
from the Government of Mexico for its
faithful execution. Now, Senators, I hold
that, whether the "war is successful or
unsuccssful. there is not only no certainty
that this object will be accomplished, but
almost a certainly that it will not .be. If
the war be unsuccessful; if our arms should
be baffled, as I trust and believe they will ,
not be; but if, Irom any unfortunate act i- s
dent, such should be the case, it is clear
thai we shall not be able to negotiate a
treaty that will accomplish the object in
tended. On the contrary, if the war
should be successful, H is almost equally
certain that,Mi th?t case, the avowed ob- ,
ject for prosecuting the war vigorously
will not be accomplished. I might take
higher ground, and maintain that the more
successfully the war is prosecuted the moie .
certainly the object avowed to be accotn-
pushed will be defeated, while the object
disavowed would as cettainly be accom
plished. .... ,
What is the object of a vigorous prose
cution of the war? How ran it be success
ful? I can see but one way tof making it
so, and thai is by suppressing all resistance :
on the part of Mexico; overpowering, and
dispersing her, army, and utterly over
throwing her Government. , Bnt'if that
should be done; if a vigorous prosecution
of the war should lead to that result, how :
