with the evidence of an intention on t e

new remonstrances formerly urged.
For fulfilling duties so imperative, Mec
ico has thought proper, through her accije

ted to her the inhumanity of such proceed

the courtesy! of d iploni tic intel course, and
offensive in the dighest degree to this'Go.p
ernment and peoplei. Nor has she offenU,
ed in this only t She has not only Violated
existing con ventions between the two couo

against our trade and intercourse, but with

And when our Minister has invitetl

suH jto injury x by not even, deigning, foy
mouths logether,to return an answer to hi

Still further to manifest her unfriendly,
feelings i, to ward a the United States, she has
issued decrees expelling from some of hef

of a. president front the Souihwest,she will
awake lo a knowledge of the futility of her
present purpose of sowing dissensions
among us, or producing distraction in our
Councils by attacks either on particular
States, or on persons who are now in the
retirement of private life.' Considering the!
appeal, which she now makes to eminent1
cMiZ -Mis by name, can she hope to escape
censure for having ascribed to them as well
as to others, a design, as she. pretends now
for the first time revealed, of having ori
ginated negotiations to despoil her, by
duplicity and falsehood, of her territory?'
I he opinion then, as now, prevailed
with the Executive, that the Annexation
of Texas to the Union was a mallei of vasi
iinportance.
In order to acquire that territory tefore
it had assumed a position among the inde
pendent powers of the earth, propositions
vvere made to Mexico, for a cession of it to
the United' States. Mexico saw in these
proceedings, at the time, no cause of com
plaint. She is now, when simply remin
detl of them, awakened to the knowledge
of the facl.wrjich she, through her Secreta
ry of State, promo'gates to the whole
world as true, that those negotiations were
founded in deception and falsehood, and
superinduced by unjust and iniquitons mo
tives: , j :
While Texas was a dependancy of Mex
ico, the United States opened negotiations
with the latter power for the eesssion of
her then acknowledged territory; and now
that i exas is indeDendent of Mexico, and
has maintained a separate exisience for'
nine years, during which tithe she. has
bfen received into the family of nations,
and is represented by accredited embassa
dors at many of the principal Courts of Eu
rope and when it has become obvious io
the whole world that she is forever lost to
Mexico, the United States is charged with
deception & falsehood in all relalingto the
past, condemnatory accusations are made
against States which have had no special
agency in the matter, because the Execu
tive of the whole Union has! negotiated
with free and independent Texas upon a
matter vitally important to the interests of
both countries. '
' And after nine years of unavailing war,
Mexico now announces thro her Secretary
of Foreign Afiairs, never to consent to the
Independence of Texas, or to abandon the
effort to reconquer that republici She
thus announces a perpetual claim, vvpich at
the end of a century will furnish her as
plausible a ground for discontent against
any nation, which at the end of that time
may enter into a Treaty with Texas, as
she possesses at this moment against the
United States. The lapse of time can add
nothing to her title to independence. ,
A course of conduct such as has been de
scribed, on the part of Mexico, in violation
of all friendly feeling, and of the courtesy,
which 'shouid characterise the intercourse
between the nations of the Earth, might
well justify the United States in a resort
to any measure to vindicate their national
honor; hut actuated by a sincere desire to
preserve the general peace, and in view of
the present condition of Mexico, the Ex
ecutive resting upon integrity, and not
fearing but that the judg.nent of the
world will duly appreciate its motives, ab
stains from recommending to Congress a
resort to measures of redress, and contents
itseifj'" with re urging upon that body
prompt and immediate action on the subject
of Annexation. By adopting that mea
sure, the United States will beSn the; exer
ciseofan undoubted right; and if Mexico,
not regarding that forbearance, shall aggra
vatethe injustice of her conduct by a decla
ration of war against them, upor her head
will rest all the responsibility.

a 'populous tbwn located toward the interi

times, when' they could find nobody else
to pluck, by preying upon each other. A
new importation oi' tlv se sporting , gentry
excited some alarm among the inhabitants,
lest they should bo overrun:, tey determ
ined theielbre upon their expulsion.,. A
poor country editor," who was expected by
virtue of his vocation to take upon himself
all t e responsibilities, from which other?
might choose to shrink, was peremptorily
called upon by his 'patrons," that is,
those who paid him two dollars a year for
his paper, and therefore presumed they
owned him soul and body to make an ef
fort toward the extermination of the ene
my. S he unfortunate editor, like most
editors, being gitied with just ; about a?
much brains as money skull and purse
both e'rnpty said at once that he would

was comfortablv seated in his office, list-

and presently an individual, having ac

leader of the sporting fraternity with
whose cognomen he had taken very irrev

the introductory query

Do you belong to the concern?"
iNo inlee,cl, but 1 "presume the editor

knight of the scissors and quill, l will tell
him there is a-geiuleman here who wished

As he reached the foot of the . stairs, in
his. hasty retreat, he was accosted by an
other person, who- thus made' himself
known. .. I . - . - j . . -: '
Can you tell me where I can find the
sneaking rascal who has charge of this vil

there in the offiVe now, reading, with his
