111 - . Lincoln voted against those resolu
tions, as he maul in his speech in the 110nse
on the 12th of January. 1848. from which
tho following will explain,hut position. * Mr.
Lincoln said
Hut in addition to this, one of his col ,
leagues (Mr. Richardson) came into this
lioNce wi , h a resolution in terms expressly
endorsing the justice of the President's con
duet in the beginning of the War So that
he found himself here, he was tar/rued In
the President his supplies, and say i
nothing about :be orignal justice of the war
-- tf he was inclined to go with him, to look
shell. and not back —in a position that he'
could not do ho. Ile should ft's I compelled
to vote on this resolution in the negative "
Does not this show clearly, that Lincoln
not only opposed the justice of.llo war. but
would even have voted against the Preal-;
dent's supplii*." if that question had come
up by itself i Richardson's' resolutions
were for the honorable prosecution of the
war. but Lincoln opposed them, and thereby
placed himself on the record in favor of a
dishonorable ternditatioo of the acme. In
short. nellnio4li Campy. af -with desowing- nap
troops. and telling Mexico nod the world
that we had been engaged in an unjust war
of aggression.
But the :nova noted as well as the most
ridiculous act of Lincoln's Congressional ca
reef:, was the intro !action in the House, on
the 22.1 of December. 1847, of his • spat'
resolutions. This was after the war had
been going on fur about twenty months.—
Among othe'r whereases and resolves, the
following are the pith of the spat' Enemies-
And Whereas, This House is desirous to
tAosin n lull knowledge of the facts which
go to estahligh whether the particular spot

to produce measures to bring the war to an

the "particular spot" upon which the first
blood was shed. But " Old Abe " never

"spot" that he will 9ever: rest upon, viz :
