With the strong hand. What greater probability
was that we should adjust the question of
unsettled boundaries, after her hostile and peremp

couses of complaint, many of which she admitted.
and scarcely any or which she denied ? We claim
Texas to the itio Grande. I will not stop to ex
amine the grounds of that claim. This has been
explained and defended by others more competent
'So the, task than 1 am. In this Senate the strong-1
-est position I have heard taken in opposition to
the a eateut of this claim, is, that much may be said
on both sides. Well, then, we had a reasonable }
claim. I say, an undoubted one, and we took the
assertion of it into our own hands And, the jere

as we had a right to do, after Mexico, for the;

But, sir, lean' we taken the initiative anal cam. }

justified from other considerations. When the act
for-annexation 'passed, the Mexican minister
this country immediaterY protested against that I.
measure; and, in tact, declared it to be just came ,
of war. And this view was more authoritatively- '
ennounced by the supreme government of Mexico.'

government of ex.co a si ren many hlic.tt:ont - 'r
of its deteranination to resist, by force, the annex

in the communications from oar cnr.sid, and front '
unr minister in Mexico, and ie the 'letter of the
Mexican Miriister of Foreign A iThirs of Fiecein her
2ri a 1545. Jo this last document, that functionary
says that "the questions which have distuibed the,
armony between the two . countrSes, "NVIII bring'
on - a war between them, unless such settlement
be effected in a satisfactory- manner. - &c. What
settlement the Mexican governmentdemandrd. anal
for:want of which it said a nuns belle had occurred,'
was a change in our relations with Texas: leaving
'to Mexico the assertion of her assumed rights over!
it. In.short,, sir, from the - first moment it appear : .
ed . ptobable that Texas would be- admitted into
our confederacy, to our latest diplomatic commt2=,
nitration with her government, Mexico has told us
and. the world, that annexation Would be. and is
war;' and she went on preparing to add deetts td
declarations by the concentration of her time.. so
as to be ready to take the -initiative - in hog ill:
ties against ns, to borrow the expression of Gen.;
Paietlas in his orders to the Mexican commanding
general. I need not recapitulate the series of facts
which announced anal confirmed her purinnesi
They have passed ihto history, and ore known to
us all-
The Texas of Mexico was Texas to he Sabine;
with noimermediate boundary to which we might
go with impunity and make the country our own;
That titer was a Rubicon. and it became us ti,
paris'e ;tint ponder on its banks before we crossed
its stream, and carried our standard to the crania ry
beyond it.. In all the commnnications of the Alex='
icon-g o ve rnme n t. no distinction is made betweenli
the.Nueces and the Rio Grande. And tl , e occupa-'•
tlombrour forces, of the country between these
rivers,- which took place in Ammst. It i.i , was"
nest presepted as an exclusive coarse or complaint" , ,
nor'indeed, noticed in any niannet white, er. lt,i ,
was the annexation and occupation of Texasd
and net of any particular portion of Texas, wliich .1
led to the reclamations. and finally to the hostili-v
~ ies, of Mexico. Itwas a question of title, and not . :
Of boundary. A claim of right which went for;
the'whole, and would never be satisfied with the.:
relinquishment of a part. An sir, the warnitigi:
and - threatenings of Mexico were no vain boast-;1:
ingo. She said what she would do, anal she did asi,'
she said: At the -commencement of April. 15.16.1
and before- it could have been known in Mexiero
that Gen. Taylor bad advanced to the Rio Grande.l'
the President of that republic directed its general a
upon the frontier to " attack " our army " by every: '
means ; which war permits.' It was not till after; '
this, and in fact till after our occupation of the','
conntry west of the Nueces for upwards of eight '
Months, without a 'single allusion to that riser,!
'that it first makes its appearance in a Mexicanl
- communication. And' it is then found in a letted
from Ampudia to-General Taylor, who is requiredi
to break. - up-his camp within twenty-four hours,'
and to withdraw to the eastern side of the Nueces.
Such a demand, under such circumstances, admit
ted hut one answer, and that was No.
.And Gen. ;
Taylor was as speedy as he was brief; for thesame,
day givehirilt to the demand and to the refusal.--;
It surely cannot be necessary to enter into the de- .
cisive considerations, going to show that such a:
retrograde movement was then impossible. We'
had taken a position•peaceably within our own (Cr.,
ritory, as we claimed it, and with no intimation '
from our opponent that that position was 'any more:
an infraction of his rights than would have been
the occupation of the western bank of the Sabine.,
I repeat, that during eight months, we had been'
west Of the Nueces without one word of complaint !
:Rot having passed that river.
Now, sir, let us do justice to ourselves. it
rposSible, With the best motives, to possess so much
general philanthropy as to overlook our own rights,:
while we regard the rights of others. It is quite.
possible that the divisions of opinion in our couml,
'try, and the views of this controversy, which have'
accompanied- itS.S: discussion, may have furnished'
to the,Mexican.government a motive for requiring
our army to retire to the east of the Nueces. For
certain it is that 'this Bildt is an American and not
a Mexican suggestion. But however this may 1
have been, it came too late. To withdraw, when
required to do so by the Mexican general, accom. 7
partied with the threat of immediate hostilities
should the proposition be declined, and fixing they
-period of twenty-four hours-as the terra for its'
consideration, would have. tarnished the honor of.

But, sir, passing from_flie causes to the conduct
of the War. another broad' field of Controversy has
-been opetted to us. We are attacked along our
whole line. The reasons, the measures. the rim
bees, the objects of the administration arc crltially
called into question. Ido not flatter myself, that
Lany views I can present will influence the final
;judgment which the , Senate and the country must
!pronounce on this great controversy; still. I hisec
formed an opinion for myself; aid desire briefly to
state the considerations on which it is founded.
In order justly to appleciate the probable re.
ults of this war, it is necessary to look back upon
the condition of the,country at its commencement.
What was that commencement"! A sudden attack
precipitatc - shi Mexican army upon a detachment
of American troops. Twice were the te.sailants ie•
puked, and twice seas the honor of our arms main.
tained, and two brilliant vie ories were game , :
Under tircurfisLatices which no Americas
;cult without emotions of pride and patriotism.
j We. had made but inadequate preparations for such
an aggression. Its scene was almost Inn,tnt.an miles
from the seat of government. Our who!e , army. ot
(which only a portinn was on that frontier. did not
exceed 7.1100 me,, scattered along the coast arid'
{interior boundary of this great republic. And
what spectacle was exhibited %%lien the news on
'this aggression broke upon the pr , hhe ear! The
citizens of Greece and Rome, in the brigicest dep.,
of those republics, never brought to tie it ar us

witbuut military ex prideileii. Brave indeed. as
ever tn.:iv:bed to a bahle field, but without any
practical knowledge of a military lite.so essential
-to form an e:ficient soldier. And in all our 'me,
tigations into the conduct and history of this war.
there iS--one important consideration we must keep
steadily in view. Our military establisht ent.
triun the very nature of our position and institu
tions, is the most extiensive in the world. Human
tile is worth more here than in Europe. Men Ike;
more comfortably, and are better provided for. —1
Their present is richer in performance, and their 1
future in promise. A French soldier receives one
sous, not equal to one cent, a day. I do not speak 1
with absolute certainty, for I have not had time 1
to refresh my recollection
. by looking into the de-;
tails of this subject. It may be that one centime;
a clay—the tenth part of a cent—has come to in
crease this compensation. For that proposition
certainly occupied the attention of the French
Chambers a few years since. What do you think.
Mr. President, of three dollars and sixty-five cents
as the annual pay of a French soldier, amounting
to 829 30 for eight years' service, in the best part
of hislife; for that is the term during which es ery
French soldier is,compelled to serve.
What do you think of a quarter of a pound of
lean beef; and from a pound to a pound and a half
of brown—almost black—bread. for the daily sub
sistence of men, called by the heaviest penalties
to maintain the honor of their country abroad, ,
and the power of their government at home? As i
with the pay, so is it with the subsistence. I dot
not undertake to speak with absolute precision :
but I know I am nut far wrong. I am quite near I
enough for the object I have in view, that of show
ing the difference between the condition of a French 1
and of an American soldier,and the difference of;
expense which that brings with it. The army of 1
France is a great political engine, connected with 1
'the; internal, as well as with the external affairs of
the country. It was a subject that could not fail
to attract my attention while there. It is admire- I
bly, eorrzposed and admirably administered for the j
purposes' of the government. The soldiers are ac
0," 24
~';Yi'w
tive, brave, with a true militatrbearitig,,and with
a passionate devotion to the , glory- of:Trance. ' I
foundtheir subsistence, and all their supplies hymn
the lowest possible scale. of neonotny, consistent
with thelraeservationAiheir health and strength.
I found, too, thatsliditiititt:Aaalled into thiltary life,!
the provisions-,V `-shit atit jhern,,,,Were inadequate
to'their ‘ . .. rom fo r t . :Y4,riort..,? . isAnd it *as only
itches- they had xiisiipired Bin :habits of their new,
ocetfpatibit,tind hadtleairaed hOw best to manage.
their proviiiiins, and to conttrat themselves with I
meagre soup - and dry bread, they were able to ac
conttnotlate themselves' to their new position.
- to us, Ste ere not fit to be a nation Of sol-1
Biers. We hare much better things to do. A n d,
the resources of an empire would break down un-1
der the expenses which a large and long contin
tij,l military establishment would necessarily en-1
tail upon us, Whatever may be the extent of our
army—and we all agree that in time of peace it
should be small—and whether large or small, it
must be filled by volunteer engagements. And
public opinion will require, and rightly require,
that the men composing it should be atlcquatelil
paid, properly clothed, and comfortably main
tained.
It must also be recollected that the means of,
transportation, one of the limbs of an army, had 1
to be suddenly collected within the United
States, and carried to the theatra of operations.)
These means were necessarily large, and could on
ly be brought together at great expense and labor,'
and with much loss of time. Recollect, also, sir,
the organization of your Qartermaster'spepartment
was not made for the present state of things. It
was not at all adequate to the discharge of a mass
of new duties, suddenly thiown upon it. 1 know
the head or that department well. A more gallant
soldier, a more laithtirl officer, a more valiant ad
ministrator, our service does not number upon
the military Register. Anti I believ'e the assis
tants under him deserve commendation for their
zeal, capacity, and industry. Rut new agents ;
without exited me, had to be selected, and it were
vain to expect purchases would be a.sjudicionsly
and economically made. ate) pfitperty as well pre
served, applied, and accounted for, in this new ex.
igency, as iii the ordinary routine of service.
Besides, sir, there is one very obvious considera
tion:we must keep in view in looking at -our ex
penditures. It applies to no party, but belongs to
ill, fur its cause is to be sought in our institntions.
The accumulation of supplies tar our military op
erations is greater, and always has been greater,
than in any other army in the world. The re
sponsibility of tho,e who direct them is so heavy
and immediate, &Din the ever-vigilant supers ision
if public ,'pinion, that it is telt in all their arrange
: merits. Fearing to do too litne• they come to do
too miirle and thence loss 111 purchase and ultimate
w aide in application. It was something like this
bieh helped to swell the expense of two small
ladiim slain a:. c 1 one 1,1412.12 War to thirty millions,
i it dollars. And we have an illustration of its!
operation in an ahle letter of the :Jib of Decem•

jo mo , :!, for the difficulties. Now for the re
,Mts. Let me remark in the first instance, sir.
that not a movement, as I understand, relating
to operations on the northeast frontier of Mexi
co has been directed from the seat of govern
ment, which has not met the approbation of the
distinguis!.ed officer who has connected his own
name with the history of his country by his
victories in the valley of the
. „Rio Grande. ho
much is due to himself and to the administra
tion. His own movements he was free to di.
rect and control. Immediately after the dcelar
ation of war, he was requested to communicate
to
to the government his views as to what should
be the future operations on the Rio Grande, and
the movement he proposed to make before the
rainy season.
I have applied to the War Department for
information upon this subject; and have been
permitted to look at that part of the correspon.
deuce with Gen. 'Taylor which relates to pas t
events, and has thus became matter of history.--
I will state its hearing upon the last campaign.
In a letcer from the War Department of June
8. Isls, to Gen. Taylor, the Secretary of War,
after informing him of the proposed augthentation
of his force, and making some judicious sugges
tions, remaiks that, In taking positions, I need
scarcely observe that the means of getting sup
plies. transporting munitions of war, as well as
the ability to keep open the channels by which
these supplies and munitions are to be furnished,
are points to be well considered," &c. "The Pre
sident is desirous of receiving your views add sug
gestions in relation to the fall campaign. His de
termination is to have the war 'pititecuted with
vigor, and to embrace in the objects to be com
passed in that carpaign, such as will dispose the
dnemy to desire, an end of the war. Shall the
campaign be conducted with a view of striking at
the city of Mexico, or confined, so far as regards
the forces under your immediate command to the
northern provinces of Mexico? Your views on
this point will doubtless have an important in

yohr views of the manner of dding it are request
ed. It is not doubted that you will push your ad•
vantages to the utmost extent it can be done..with
the viCans at your conaniund."
Gin. Taylor, in answer, stated very deafly the
nature of the Operations 'which should • take place,
and the difficulties attending them, resulting priit. l
cipally from deficient means of transportation, and
from a want of bread-stuffs. Considering the ("is- i
tance from Camargo to -Mexico, and the nature of
the country, and its want of resources, he looked
upon that line of operations as an impracticable
one. Ile was therefore of opinion that operations
upon that frontier should be confined to cutting off!
the northern provinces, and, in that point of view, '
he thought the expedition to Chihuahua of great!
importance. He says he has abStained from any I
re f erence t o movements against Tampico,or Vera
Ortiz,,because the yellow fever would not have;
permitted us to hold it and he deemed it best to
undertake no movement in that direction at that
season of the year. lie proposed the taking of
.'Tampico, when the leason should favor, which
would not be 'until NOvember or'December. So!
for as I have been perniitted to seethe correspond-;
once, I find nothing which controls - the discretion',
of Gen. Tit) for. fiesys are in),inied and sugges.
tions made, and very.properly made. But he is
left to act as his own judgment dictates, in the op-1
erations intrusted to hint. Anil, it is but an act of, i
justice, sir, t a say, that the instructions of the War
Department are prepared with ability and a wise!
forecast. creditable to the officer atthe head of it. I
They will hear the severest scrutiny.
Three columns. then, sir, mo:ied "upon Mexico.
One under Gen. Taylor, invading : its north-eastern
frontier. Another, under Ges. Wool, striking '
the provinces higher up the Rio Grande, and in
communication with the preceding column. and lotion excluding the editors of the Union from the
subject to the order of General Taylor. And a ; floor of the Senate, passed—ayes 27, nays 21.
