TRASLAtEfl IOR THE tJNloN. 1
MANIFESTO . j
Of His Excellency the President ad in
. . ,. . i . , :t
On assuming, in the beginning of this
O7 O o t
year, the heavy responsibility of guiding
the destinies of the nation during a short
period, I determined resolutely; to change
its policy from the weak and ; pernicious
system of temporizing, which lias been ob
served with regard 4o the United States of
America, notwithstanding the perfidy
with which that government prepared for
the occupation of Texas, its treacherous Vi
olation of the existing treaties which guar
antee the limits of the republicand the In
sidious act by which it incorporated one of
our departments within its own confedera
cy. The Mexican nation did not conquer
independence by the most bloody and hero
ic sacrifices, nor place itself among the Civ
ilized powers of the world in order to be
come the sport of a neighboring nation,
which taking advantage of our quarrels and
Unfortunate disturbances, and the exagger
ated idea of our weakness, founded Upon
them, appeared with all th appliances for
conquest, arid entered upon - the invasion
of our territory, indulging in the dream
that it could extinguish the manly race to
which we belong, placing upon our fore
heads the brand bore by the slaves in Sou
thern "States, destroying our nationality,
and abandoning us to the humiliating mise
ry of oblivion. This magnanimous peo
ple which; In a struggle of eleven years of
blood and extermination, proved its bold
ness no less than its constancy, was Waiting
With impatience to rush forward into ami
other war to which it Was called by the
Scandalous aggressions of a government de
claring itself our friend, but at the Same
time aiming to prostrate us, relying on its
power, and not caring to support itself on
the titles of equity & justice which all na
tions respect, which strengthen the hopes
of peace, and maintain the harmony of the
Universe; It was for this reason that the

The old grievances, the offences against
the Mexican nation, which have been In
cessantly repeated since 1836, h&d been
consummated by the insult of sending us
si minister, to be accredited near ;Our gov
ernment in the character of a residing min
ister: as if the relations between the two te
publics had not suffered any disturbance
by the definitive act of the annexation of
Texas. At the very time when Mr. Sli-
dell appeared, the troops of the United
States were occupying our territory, their
squadrons were threatening our ports, and
preparations were made to occupy the

troops, the unquestionable right to our ter

instructions given by my government,
summoned the generalinchief of the A

and the summons has been disregarded. " 1
The nations interested in preventing the
disturbance of the peace which ha . lasted
so many years and whose commercial rela
tions with the Mexican republic may suf
fer injury, will see the hard alternative to
which are reduced by the invasive policy
of the United States, and that, we must Sue
cumb unless we defend with energy Our na
tional existence thus theatened. I solemn
ly announce, that I do not declare
war against the government of the Uni
ted States of America, because jt be
longs to the august Congress of the na
tion, and not the Executive, to resolve
definitely what reparation should be ex
acted for such offences. But the defence
of the Mexican territory, which the forces
of the United States have invaded, is an
urgent necessity j and my reponsibility to
the natlon vvould be immense should sl faif
to Order the troops which thus act as ene
mies to be repel

given that ordef j
From this day begins
our defensive war, and every point of our
territory, invaded or attacked, shall be va
liantly defended. .
The time has Itherefore come which the
government of the Mexican .nation; have
endeavored fruitlessly to put off, by debat
ing the clearest and most just titlesj and
these having been Contemned, we enter
into a necessary contest, wfich will secure
to Us the sympathies of all nations and
governments, wtich condemn the usurpa
tions of the powerful. We shall ourselves
become strong from the .holiness of our
cause, and when everything is endangered,
our strength will correspond with the,; exi
gencies of our condition. Meanwhile the
Mexican nation will resolve to hazard all
in order to save all; and it will give a sub
lime example of sacred determination to
exhibit that glorious devotion which has
so often beCn displayed at all times by na
tions maintaining their independence and
their liberties.
