V hqn ceded . by France in 1805 to the, United States, this boundary is recognised; yhen by the Flo rida treaty it was by us ceded to Span in 1819, it was then stated to be the boundary; when Mexico revolted.1 from Spain, the State of Texas, by the constitution of 1824, was bounded by theRio Grande; when in April, 1836, Texas proved her valor on the plains, of San Jacinto, and overthrew the Mexican power, by a. treaty made with the President of Mexico, Santa Anna, and subsequently recognised by the authorities of Mexico, the Rio Grande was the ac knowledged boundary of Texas. The great champion of whigery, Mr. Chy, states in his letter from Raleigh, just before the last Presidential election, that this was the true boundary, and that Texas extend ed to the Rio Grande. Under this state of facts, under the recommendation pre viously given by General Taylor himself, our forces took position on our own terri tory, on the Rio Grande. Here they were attacked here American blood was spilled on AniericaV soil; and here our brave troops, under Gen Taylor, covered themselves and the American arms with honor and gory.
