AY AND THE MEXICAN AVAR—No. 4- ■ So fit therefore from the President acting ancon rtilolionalty, lie woo to Ilia letter complying with the constitution. And if the order given by the President s “the immediate occasion of hostilities between the two Republics,” it woo on'occasion that, was eagerly embraced by Mexico, end without any. just ground of complaint. It ought not to liavo been tiro occasion of hostilities on tiro pari .of Mexico, and the order of the President was in conformity with 11)0 enlightened sonso of tlionation,and-sustained by candid men of all parties. Congress,, by its act of 13lh May, 1846, approved nearly nneminonsiy that order, by'solemnly declaring that whrWistcd by the act of Mexico," which co’nld not have been llio ease if the removal of the army to the Rio Grande was “ the immediate occasion of hostilities” ns as serted by Mr. Clay. General Taylor himself, who is claimed as a VVhig, not only approved of this order of the President, but odcisci! it. In a despatch to the Secretary of War.datcd at Corpus Christ!, Texas. October 4lh, 1845, General TVylor, after giving .his ttacons at length for an advance from Corpus phrisli to the Rio Grande, to strengthen this view of lho subject, says s, - »» Hul if our' gfovernmenl, in selttftig Clip question of boundary, makes tlio lino of,the -Uio' Grange on ultimatum, I cannot doubt that tlio settlement will be greatly facilitated and hastened by oiir taking pos icssion at nnce of one or two suitable points, on or quite near that river. Our strength and state of pro piration should bo displayed in a manner not to bo mistaken. However salutary may bo the effect pro. duced on the border people by our presence here, we ire 100 far from the frontier to impress ment of Mexico with our readiness to vindiontc. by force of arms if necessary, our title to tho country as far oi tho Rio Grande.” , . , ft was net, however, untlllbo Jan nary, 18dC, belter than, lor, that tholordcrwas issued by IhelWar Department, and alter tho most urgent means through the mission of Mr.Slidcllto,arrange nil mallets of difference by negotiation had failed. On the 10lh November, 1845, Mr Slidell wascommisaioncd envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of tho’United States to Mex ico, and was intrusted with full powers to adjust both the questions of tho Texas boundary and oflndemni. flection to our citizens. Uo arrived at Vera Cruz on Iho 30lh of November. Tho Mexican government finally 'refused to accredit Mini on iho 21 at December upon the moat frivolous prctexls. On tho 17th De cember that gentleman wrote a despatch to the State Department, slating that ho would in all probability le rejected. This information woo received in VVoeh- Inglon, prior to the issuing tho order for tiro removal •four forces from Corpus Christ! to tho Rio Grande —so that there were before that order in tho calimo* lion of Mexico, other immediate occasions of boa lility," so tho rejection of Mr. Slidoll-would signify. Mexico lied set her heart on war and hostile invasion, long before that order was thought of, mid her whole course of conduct for o series of years, was a quasi declaration of war against tho United Stales. Mr. Clay therefore faila to affix tho odium of bring ing about a useless and cruel war with Mexico, upon tlio skirts of tlio President, or tlio Democracy of tho country. Tlio President has acted with great for* licaraiico and moderation,.nnd has followed that for bearance up since tho collision of nnns, with repeated offers el peace, alter every victory oohlevod by dur gallant nnd victorious troops. • Rut Mr. Clay Is equally as unfortunate as lo his proposed method of bringing thin war to a close, os he lias been in hia views as to what were its.onuses, and as to how it wos occasioned* Ho says, that in-| tsmueb ns Mexico is too poor to pay us any indent* nily, except territory, wo must refuse that. Ho do* precedes any* farther acquisition of lorrliory. Mr, Clay is fur behind tho ago,and Ulllo comprehends the powers and capabilities of tho Anglo Saxon toce. The Federalists of old opposed the purohaso of Louis* ianna by Jclfuraon—and again, opposed the ocquUi* (tan ortho Florida’s by Monroe; And yet the country not ruined, Tho “ area. of. freedom’* is, enlarged, U is true, but that should not bo a matter of grief to wy man who claims to bo a republican. The sumo toy was then pulsed about the conquests of. Alexan der! Cmsur and Napoleon, that Is now Repeated by Mr. Cluy. The first had laid waste oil Asia, tbo sootmtl had crossed tho Rubicon arid won Hio battle of Pliartmlia, and the lasi hod subjugated continental Europe, and yet llib people of Mucedqn w Greece, of Romo or Frnneo, were not bcnefitlod citber individually or collectively, by iho triumphs of these great captains. There is no analogy In those far fetched illustra tes, with our own cose In the present struggle with Mexico. Our movements have boon regulated by the laws of an enlightened government,'and our victories have boon tompoi'od.wUh mercy., fought f°r conquest, but to compel a treacherous neighbor’ . tng power to do us simple justice, and pay us what they owe ua. If wo iiqvo hold the woopoha of war* f «o with ono hand, wo have extended tho olivo hfanob with tho other., Wo have , time and again nftered her terms of pence, nioro reasonable for than Would have boon offered her by any European power Under similar circumstances. tosay nothing of the terms which would have boon proposed by on Alex ■uder, a Cmaar or a Napoleon. True wo expect Mex ice fo pay us something In territory for tlieblnod and troniuro sbo hus forced us to spend In bilging her lo 11 temper of mind to do iis justice. , But when that territory U obtained, W o have,that faith In Domnpra *,c principles, and in a really republican goVofmripn(, to believe, that It will bo govcfncdby wlse'and be* nlficent lawB, and that it will be inhabited byapoo* pic far more contended and happythan the.subjects of the fickle power that how. misgoverns that-country;-The'Democracy- fear not to extend 1 “ • They’have-no',doubts about the crfpdcity'of'lho popple to govern theihselVcs $2 00 ~.1.00 —and this constant comparing our own happycoun try,and our owhglpripuV institutions} to the miserable rmlUary.despotiams oT! the dark and, middle ages,'or even to the spasmodic governments of Franco about the period of her revolution, when the’people of that country had been debased for ages, by'subjection to arbitrary power,; shows the depreciated idea that those who liberties we ss a people enjoy. V ’ ■ . In promulgating such doctrines, Mr. Clay will find rebellious spirits arpbng thdsq who havp heretofore bceii j his worni par(y 'friends. He will find some Turks nniohg tl)6ao>w|ijom;ho, would place bh a level with thowild Mtftedpriiaiis, the. garrulous Greeks, the tyrannical Romans;'qr the French Sans-Culottes' letor. • We therefore close , this subject by leaving Mri Clay to do battle with some of his own party Triends. The New York Courier and Enquirer; formerly one of his most ardent admirers and Zealous supporters, uses ,in reference lo.the positions assumed in his Lexington speech^the following strong and eloquent language: / • “r “It is an ungrateful task, to review unfavorably a * speech from one wc esteem and admire, as.we do Mr.- Clay; but We. do hof hesitate’to pronounce his 1 last effort such a blip as he would never dreamed of moking-wcrb honow.of the same age, as.when,in 1812, he nobly sustained the government of his conn* try in -ils war with the mistress of the ago/ That, ho very justly says, was a war of- national defences required for the .vindication of national rights and honor;” and yet, at the very .commencement of the war wc invaded Cahada and carried desolation arid I death to thb homes arid altars of tlio unoffending Oa-1 nudiuns who-had neverharmed iis,! ' But lliis did not make,it a wiir of aggression or.of conquest, ac cording lo Mr«. Clay j -and hlr. Clay ,is right. Bui when ftfcxlco gives orders to her Generals to'attack the American army whorovcr .it may bo'fbilnd , in Texas,.Bnulh of tho .when, because wo go, into tho .disputed territory, the ; Mexicans cross into,it also and, make war nponoiir .army* and.wo repulse and follow her bouton forces Into her own territory, behold it is no longer a war of defence, but one of aggression and conquest I * *. *, * When she did so assail us, she became the aggressor, and when we add to this the historical fact, that her Generals had positive orders to invade Texas, arid drive us north of the Sabine, and were oqlually.pro cccding t’o s exccuW them—it is indeed a strange jn* fdtuation.which denominates this a war of aggression and conquest, and >vhich tho Same breath; proclaims our invasion ofCandda In 1812, a war oTdefence! The people do not so understand it:- Their in stincts do not lead'them to such conclusions. They know and feel, that Mexico struck the first blowjand when they arc Ibid lliut “It Is Mexico that is defend ing hcr’fircsldcS, her castles, and her altars, not wo“ they feel that it might have bConus if Wo had not, as in 1812, carried a defensive war into the enemy’s country; and large as Is their benevolence, 1 they pre fer that it should bo.as it is, rather than wp should now bo resisting hbr. Intended and proclaimed ,inva. Morfofqur territory.. And when.this speech of ; Mj. Clay shall have bu-en road throughout lirctfdth grear'courilry, many will Bo’riic tears shed in silence, that Henry Clay—he ddio so nobly stood by his country In 1812, and even to this day defends tho invasion of Canada, should have donoun. ced this war as “ war of “ offensive aggression,” in which Mexico, not wc, is “defending her firesides, her castles, and her altars.” Agiunat whom 7 Why against the gallant and patriotic spirits who have so nobly offered up their lives, in defence of their country’s honor, and shed upon pur arms a halo of glory which ha? elevated bur national char acter in tho estimation*of the civilized woHd, arid called forth a feeling of gratitude,and pride, in ilho bosom of every man whoso heart is capable of bent . ing in response to chivalrous dcods nnd gallant bear ing. ,* And yet it is Henry Clny'who thus character ized this war—who thus defends Mexico against the acts of her chivalrio invaders —who thus unmlbnlion ally .endorses the abominable sentiments of lho..Ncw York. Tribune, and will shortly bo .quoted by U os sanctioning its denunciation of our gallant army as a bhhd of robbers, plunderers and murderem, for whoso dcfcafand dispersion, that editor and his colabbrcr* are justified in praying; as they do, to the God of . Battles! We cannot liubseribo to such doctrines; wo cannot, with nil onr reverence and respect for Mr. Clay,unite . with him in Ins seeming response to the heartless nssnits upon ■ those who have covered our country with glory; and in our sympathies far Mexican suf ferings, we cannot forget the sufferings and death of our own gallant sons, If It bo indeed a war of coot quest and aggression; if wo have wickedly assailed ‘Him firesides, life castles;-and the altars of Mexico;' 1 if wo have robbed,’ plundered, and murdered her peaceful people; who and what aro the men who have volunteered to do tho devilish work? When the nows of tho victories of Palo Alto and Reason do la Palma reached Now Orleans, if wo mistake not, Mr. Clay was there, and avowed that if younger,-ho would himself volunteer to take part in the war. Uis' gallant son did so volunteer, and nobly offered up his life for his country. But would ho hove done so, if ho had believed that ho was waging suohawar as Mr. Clay describes ? Never, never. 03*Tho Loitsvillo Journal and Courier had,made arrangements to receive tho whole of tho President’s message by telegraph !
