suspension of hostilities; but; if that has been-done
I prestinie it is with the -purpose, upon the termi

enforcing her rights as sh considers them.
This narrative shows the present actual condi

perseveres in the assertion of her rights ihy actual
force of arms, which'-if suspended, are intended to
be renewed.' Under these circumstances, if the
Goveywrient of the U. Stater; were to acquire Tex
' as, it would acquire along with it all the intern
prances which Texas is under, and among them
the actual or suspended war between i'%exico and
Texas. Of that -consernience there cannot - fie a
doubt. Annexation and a sear with Mexico are
identical.' • Now, for one, .I certainly aid: not wil

the object of acquiring Texas; I knovy there are
those who regard such a war With indifference and
as a trifling affair on account 'of the wlakness of
Mexico, and her inability' to inflict eerions in

it thus lightly. I regard all Wars as great calami
