- My Dear Sir: You will no doubt have received,
:before this can reach you, the deeply distressing
intelligence of the death of your son, Henry Clay,
`Jr., - in the battle of Buena Vista. It is with no
-.wish of intruding : upon the sanctuary of parental
.aorrow, and with" no hope of administering any
, consolation to your wounded heart, that I have
taken the liberty of addressing you these few lines;
, hut 3 have felt it a duty which I owe to the mem
`cry- of the distinguished dead, to pay a willing
- 'tribute to his'many excellent qualities, and while
-my feelings -are still fresh, to express the desola
-.eon WhiCh his untimely 'loss, and that of other
• kindred friends, has occasioned. I had bat a ems
ttal acqnaintance with rim son, until he became
_for a time a member of my military family, and
I can truly say that no one ever won more rapidly
apoA .my regard, or established a more lasting
„claim to my respect and esteem. Manly and line
-arable inevers impulse, with no feeling but for
the honor of t he service and for the country, he
- gave erery.itssurance that in the hour of need I
could lean with confidence upon his support Nor
was I disappointed. 'Under the guidance .of him

sons -of Kentucky in the thickest of the strife,
uphold the honor - of the State - and country. A
'grateful people will do justice to the memory of

But-I may be permitted to express the bereave

Toyour son I felt bound by the strongest ties of

2. Such seaport, 'on the - other hand, cannot be
deemed a - part of the United States, or a port, with
in the dominions of the United States, for it has
not permanently passed under their, sovereignty. r
"It could only be by a renunciation in a treaty of
peace; -or by possession so long and pernianent as
'should affonleonclusiye proof that the territory
was altogether abandoned by its sovereign, or-had
been irretrievably subdued, that it could be con
sidered as incorporated into the dominions-of the
captors." Meanwhile, the right which they hate
over.the place, is "the mere right of superior force,".
and the allegiance dile from the inhabitants is ni
temporary allegiance.—Aid.

3. This right is " n temporary right of posses
sion and government until a pacification."-C/ok
vs. the United States, 3d Washington, p. 104.
4. "The titleby conquest is acquired and main -1
Itained by force. The conqueror prescribes its ,
limits. Humanity, however, acting on publit
opinion, has established as a general 'ate, that the
conquered shall not be wantonly oppressed, and
that their condition shall remain as eligible as is eon;
patible with the objects of the conynest."—lly Chief
Astiee Marshall. Johnson es. Mclntosh, blh
ton, p.. 5230.
Applying this "general rule," in connexion with
the foregoing principles, to the case or a sea.port;
of the enemy's country, captured by the EL Statesj
troops, and in their occupation, the following pro.
positions obviously result therefrom:
Ist. That it is the duty of the captor to jermil
Commerce to-go on at such seaport, so far as this
shall be compatible with the objects for which the"
!place is occupied.
2d. That the captor is the proper and rightful
judge of the extent to which • such compatibility
exists; 813( / of the limitations and regulations which
it requires.
I 3d. That such plate is not propetly a seaport
of either country: Consequenly the revenue laws
of neither country apply to it. Consequently,
also, the stipulation in subsisting commercial trea
ties bet Ween the two belligerents respectively, and
third parties, areina pp li ca bl e. the the one
hand, a stipulation between Mexico and a third
Ipower, securing to the latter the tight to trade
freely %rah all the Mexican pens, does not glee
such right in regard to the captured port with re

On the other hand, not being a port of the United I
States, it is not involved in a stipulation between;
the United States and a third power, x,ecurin,e, to

2. Mexico made the first declaration If' War.—
This was done April 23d. The American Con
gross declared war May 13th, twenty day' after
actual hostilities were commenced by the Mexicans
.3d. Up to the 24th of April, the Americans had
committed no act of hostility. On that day a
large detachment of the -Mexican army passed in
to our Territory and attackel a small party of dra
goons umler Captain Thornton, and killed and
wounded sixteen, capturing the remainder.
4th. Up to this time, our government hae giVeni
constant assurances of 4lieir readiness to setae - the'
,
controversy, and has paused between each o f het
briliant victories, to giVe her miserable . enemy
time to consider and sue for peace.
sth. All the pleas put id by Me.rieo, or her
friends in this country, are unfounded. JOS .- Urged
that owe have robbed her of Texas. Texit . was
once a State composing a part of the Reputlie of
Mexico. That republic was subverted in a zevo.
lution, and made subject to a consolidated govern
ment. Texas was fully absolved from her aliegi.
ance to the Mexican government. She declared
her resolution to adhere to her republican instittu•
tions, arid the whole world justified her claims and
acknowledged her independence. For many years
the Mexican government exerted itself to subju•
gate that brave people; but after a most cruel war
fare, was driven back 'and Texas took her stand '
among the Independent Nations of the earth. Many
christian nations treated with her, and she was as
free from Mexico, as America is-now from Great
Britain.
Nor wag it a question of boundary; for Mexico
never made a complaint of out crossing the Neu
ces, but that we claiin any part of Texas. But
Texas being a State' in our Union, the government
was under the same obligations to defend it as any
other State in the Union. It is agreed that the!
war is engaged for the extension of slavery. The
falsity of this charge is seen from the fact, that
nearly all the territory sought as indemnity lies
north of the line limiting slavery, and the House
of Representatives have decided by vote, that sla
very shall be excluded from all Territory to be
added. That prince of slaveholders, J. C. Cal.
houn, is opposed to the addition of any ten itory,
knowing thatslavery will exist in no part of it.
. So far then from seeking the extension of slave.
ry, the vast additions of territory will be free, and
greatly facilitate the downfall of that abominable
institution.
The evils of war are great. War should be the
last:resort to injured 'nations. A Merles has felt

On my pillow of rushes thy bead shall recline;

To harm but one hair a a ringlet of thine.

Six sons of AlXenna thy steps shall attend,
And their six sheithlessikeans shall protect thy
