"Resolved, That the incorpration of tho

Mexico, Chihuahua, Coahuila,' aud Ta

sion, for" all the eotwequences of whielt the
U luted Stiitcs wnuul stand responsible.
And yet yet Mr. Polk has undertnken, of
his own mere powsr, to involve die country
in war witli a neighboring powet
for the s'.ike of this territm'. The Balti-
moic Amerenn, speaking on the subject,
very properly says:
The responsibility which Mr. Polk as
sumed of determining that Texas tlid ex
tend to the Rio Grande a thing which
G.OPgrest . had. refused- to av was tn
dicated to the World by the order to Sen-
eral Taylor to" inarcli to that river aud to
occupy its left liauk. If Congress had
authorised this order and Congress wns

war, as it was in fact when it rame
