Submitted by the Honorable Henry Clay, at the Public Meeting fedi in Lexington, liy.,, Nom 13, 1817. lat. Resolved; As the opinion of this meet ing, that the primary caused the preSent on-' happy War existing, between the United States of America and the U. S. of the Re public of Mexico, was the annexation of Tex as to the former, mil the iminediate occasion of hostilities beta eon the twu Republics arose out of the order of the Presh!eut of the Uni ted States, for the reinmal of the Army under command of Gen. Taylor from its position-nt Corpus Christi, to a point apposite Matamo ros on the east bank of the Rio RI avo, within the territory . , claimed by both Republics, but I then under jurisdiction of Mexico and inhabit ed by its citizens—that the order.of the Pres ident for the removal of the army to that point was improvident end unconstitinional, it be- I log without the concurrence of Congress, or even consultation witb it, although it was in session; but that Congress having by its sub- I sequent acts recognized the war 'thus brought into existence willf ut its previous authority or ,consent, the rosecution of it became thereby national: , - 1 2d. Resolved; IL hat in Ithe absence of any I formal and public declaration by Congress of I the objects for which the war ought to be pros ecuted, the President of the United States, as Chief' Magistrate, as Commander-in-chief of I the Army and Navy of the United States, is left to the guidance mf his own judgement to I prosecute it for such purposes and objects as he may deem the honor and interest of the na tiOn toArequire.' i , 3d. 'Resolved, That, by the Constitaition of I the United States, CongreSs—being invested with power to declare war and grant letters' of marque and reprisals k to mike rules con cerning captures made ' by land and water, to raise Bud support armies, to provide and main tain a navy, and to makes rules for the gov ernment of land and naval forces—has the fullest and most complete war-making, power of the people of the United States, and, so 'possessing it, has a right to deterplite upon the motives,eause, and objects of the war,, when once commenced, or at any time during the progress of its existence. [ 4th. Resolved, As the farther Opinion of this meeting, that it is the duty bf Congress to declare, by some authentic net, for what purpose and object the existing war ought to be farther prosecuted,—that it is the duty, of the President in his official capacity to con form to such to declaration - of Congress; and, if aftei such declaration the President should decline or refuse to endeavor by all the means,. civil, diplothatic and Military,' in his power, to execute the announced illof V ma,... lgre.s, and, in defiance of its authority, shoo d con tinue to prosecote'the war fur purpose s and objects other than those declared by that ho ly it would become the right and duty of Con gress to adopt the most efficacious measures to arrest the farther progress of the war, tak ing care to make ample provisions fur the honor, the safety slid security of our armies in Mexico, in every coiitidgeney; and if Mex ico should decline and refuse to conclude a treaty with us, stipulating for the purpost.,, and objects so declared by COng,ress, it would be the duty of the Government to pros e cute the war with the utmost vigor, until they were attained by a Treaty of Peace: sth. Resolved, That We view with serious alarm, and are utterly opposed to any purpose like the annexation of Mexico to the United States in any mode, and especi lly by con quest; that we believe• that the two nations could not be happily governe d , y one coin -1 mon authority, owing to their' great differ ence of Ace, law, language, an d" felig,ion, and the vast extent of their respective territories and large amount of their respecti%e popula- 1 qons; that such a union, against the consent' o the exasperated Mexican people,eould only be effected and preserved by large standing armies, the constant applicatioo of m ilit ar y force—in other words, by' despotic sway ex orcised over-the Mexican People in the first instance, but which, there would be just cause VOniftoili'life" trtilc ell SNIP; that we deprecate, therefore, such a uniou as as holly incompatible„with the genius of 'mu Government, and with, the character of our free and Nberal institutions; and ice anxious ly inipe that: each tuition may .he left in the , undisturbed possession of its own ltiws, lan guao, cherished religion and territory, to pursT its own happiness accOrdirg to what junit dee t u_bitst for itself. _ _ . - . 6th, Resolved, That, eunsideriug the Perim.: of splendid and brilliant victories nehteved by our brave armies and their azallant com manders during the war witli Mexico, unat tended by a single reverse, the United States, without any danger of thdtir honor sulfering. the slightest tarnish, con prarlier thi , virtue •f moderation and magnanimity towards their discounted foes foeea an I say: We have no desire for the:dismemberment of the Republic of Mexico, but wish only a just and. proper ad- ' justment of the limits of Texas. 7th. Resolved, That we do positively and emphatically disclaim an., disavow any wish or desire on our part td acquire any foreign territory whatever,/for the purpose of propa gating Slavery, or introducing Slavery trent _the United States into any such foleign ter ritory, Bth. Resolved, That we invite our fellow citizens of the United States, who are anx ious for the restoration ,of the blessings of Peace, or desiromi, if the war shall continue• to be prosecuted, that its purposl nut object Mall be 'defined and Itnown—who are anx ious to avert the present end futtpte dangers with which it may be fraught—rend who' are also anxious to produce conten tment and sat itfactiim at home, and to eleva te the national character abr. ad—to assemble together in their respective • communities and express their views, feelings and opinion on the sub ject. CAPT. NAY 1.011.-.111 acconnts agree in he stowing kreat praise on evt. Naylor, of Phil adelphia, for the courage 4i:splayed in the late t, aides. The achievements mentioned in an extract of a letfe - r in the Philadelphia Ledger, and published beLow,_certainly—exceeil any _ thing ever mentioned in history. ‘Vhile we are proud of him, we are at the same time ashamed that his company should have left the gallant Captain in such a perilous time. The following is the extract: Captain Naylor, of your city, distinguished himself greatly during the battleg that led to the taking of the City of Mexico. No wan in the army behaved with more gallantry. on one occasion lie nas,or.lered with his-compa ny, to Nike a battery, between the position of the American army and the Citadel, where the enemy were assembled in great numbers, with,fifteen cannon. 'lle placed himself at the ; head of his company, waved his sword over his head, and advanced along a mirrow causeway some fifte en yards wide, with the "hole fire of the enemy directed against him. At least Shirty Mousand balls were aimed at his life, but not one touched him. Ile took the battery and ,kept it. Por some reason I do not understand, not a man of his company, neither officer nor private, followed hint. He went alone, and succeed alone. • The Gener al, immediately after, the taking of the city, made him the Governor of the National Pal ace and keeper of all. the National Archives, Ike; So you see, a Philadelphia Captain is the chief in the olls of the Montezuma& Though very HI for a long time, and still much Indisposed, he is indefatigably at work by day and by night. His position gives him - access, to everything . relating to Mexico, and he is busily engaged ifil gathering the materi als and the information to reveal the internal saw himto-day getting a new flag for the Nice. no ono that now floats over it is fast going to! pieces, and is the, sacred flag, -the isne ttnit Ow waved . over Vera Crux, Jala pa, Puebla and Mexico.

ResolutiOns I=l WHIG AUTHORITY ON T,HE WAR. , , 'lt is 4ell known to , the country that Sr. ' Revel* Johnson, one of the 'senators of the lUnited Slides froni the State of Maryland, Is a whig—sa Clay Whig--a mist decided•Wilig. We are happy, therefore, to call in the au-' ' thorily of his opinions to ccintira the .views w hhly have so often beet'. taken in our col umns of tbe justice of the war. Let other Whigs abuse it as they may, for being unjust, outrageous, a violation of the constitution; we call in the ain't! of Mr. Johnson's authority to protect the war from their tin cut attacks.— We forbear further comments The follow• ing speech of Mr. jOhnson in the Senate of the Unit f ed States, on the 12th May, 1816, is oxtracted from the Congressional Globe, and speaks for itself; , , , "Mr. Johnson, bf Maryland, rose and said, that when he first heard of the peril in which our many was placed, and the invasion of the territory of the-United States by the Mexican troops, lire was resolved to do whatever lay in his power to rescue the one and repel the oth er; and lie was ready now to do whatever - up.. peered correct and proper. Judging from the information before the Senate—and he regret ted, that the documents accompanying the message of yesterday were not belOre the Sen ate—he believed that a state of war does exist —not in the strict cooAitutional sense, but in the other, and almost equally important sense, to 'wit; the territory of the United States hattb-teit invade', and with an armed force. lie (Mr. J.) was not present in the ' S - smate when the annexation resolution was ' passed; hut is; honestly and candor he -was ompelled to say, that had he been, he would Have voted against it. Texas, however, had been annexed lotto': United States, and the Rio Grande had been recognised us her boundary tly the United States, a•td . .by those govern ments which had acknowledged the indepen dence of the republic of Texas. Further: - in pursuance of the offer of the Congress of the United.Stittes, Texas had adopted a constitu tion in which the Rio Grande was stated as her boundary: the laws of the Uuited States had been extended over all the country to river, and the territory in disptite wes-recing nisei ns one of her congressional districts.— It was no matter, then, /low this new - State came into the Union; she was now one of the State; of that Union; was enhtle3 to all the privilege: of a State; and her citizens; were en titled, in their persons and property, tit all the rights atki protection atlinded to citizens of other Stabs; the faith of the United States ' was plstlged to Niudiente her rights, bounda ry, undito.ritary. Tae United States having thus adopted the State of Texas, the invasion of the; territory within the boundary which` her colistitution claims, was nn invasion-of the territory of the United States, and should be repelled accordingly. Ile (Mr. J.) could not vole fur the amendment proposed by the Sen ator from Connecticut, (Mr. Iltuitington.)— Ile could vote for no amendment which Impli ed that the United States was an aggressor in a war; hut, in the present case, he would show to the world that the conflict was not the seeking of the United StatesAtit of Mex ico. In conclin-ion, Mr. J. observed, that it' Ile was right in his view of the extension of the jurisdiction of the United States over Tex as to the Rio Grants, kc., we trvere as - actu alv in a state of war as though the 'news bad been receive' that the entire forces under the command of General Taylor had been attack ed and cut off by the Mexican troops. SPANISH VIEWS OP THE 'WAR. IN MEXICO. The Spanish - presses, as well as those of England no I Prance, (the Ledger says) are discussieg the Mexican war, and the proba ble couseq a - wes of it. Th t i Spaniards, .nought sympathizing with the Mexicans, who are descended from them, see very clearly the result of a protracted war, such as the Mexicaes' are tusking, between two such dif ferent and distinct nations. iEI heralds views it us a War of nations, which will only terminate in the complete overthrow of the l Spanish, by,the vicierious Atrlo Saxons.— stock of Spaniards and Mexicans, this sad destiny of the anc cut kingdom of 11Ionfezu ma, he says nothing 011ie CrOd have been ex= ; peered, seeing tile COM•I2/11, t:pc o rreoee to re,.- I ()linnets iii that unhappy country, whose eat ttraleffeet-was to unsettle men ' s minds, and ! resolve the whole social system into its mi -1 meval elements; causing the total neglect of et cry thing eatculated to raise the standard of intelligence and industry therein.
