After the organization of the meeting, Mr. °LAI - rose and addressed it substan tially as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen The day is dark and gloomy. unsettled and uncertain, like the condition -of our country, in regard to the unnatural war with Mex Mo. The public 'mind is agita ted-and RfiXiOlig, and is filled with serious apprehensions as to its intlefinite continu ance, and especially as to the consequen ces which its termination may bring forth, menacing the harmony, if not the existence of the Union. It is Under these circumstances, I pre sent myself before you. No ordinary oc casion would have drawn me from the re tirement iu which I live ; but, whilst a sin gle pulsation of the heart remains, it should. if neceasary, be dedicated to the service of one's country. And I have hoped that, although I am a private and humble citi zen, an expression of the views and opin ions I-entertain, might form someiittle ad dition to the general stock of inthrmation, and afford a small assistance in delivering our country from the perils and dangers which surround it. I have come here with no purpose to at tempt to. make a tine speech, or any ambi tious oratorical display. I have brought with me no rhetorical boquets to throw into this assemblage. In the circle of the year autumn has come, and the season of flow ers has passed away. In the progress of years. my spring time has gone by, and I too ate in .the autumn of lite, and feel the front of age. My desire and aim are to address you. earnestly, calmly, seriously and plainly, .upon the grave and momen ta'', subjects which have brought .us to gether. And lam moat solicitous that not a solitary word may fall from me, offen sive to any party or person in the whole extent of Abe Union. • War, pestilence. and famine, by the cons mon consent of mankind, are the three greatest, calamities which can befal our species ;'turd war, as the most direful, just ly, stands ferinost and in front. Pestilence and famine, no doubt, for wise although in. ecru nibln, purposes, are inflictions. of Prov idence, to which it is our duty, therefore, to Low with obedience. barnible submision and resignation. Their duration is not long, and their ravages are limited. They bring, indeed, great affliction - while they last, , but society anen recovers from their effects: War voluntary d work of our own hands; , : and whatever . reproaches it may deser ve should be directed tq , our-, selves. Wheti . ,it briniks out, its duration is indefinite and Ifni:no:torn-1w vicissitudes are hidden front our view.: 'ln' the eacrifiee human life, and in the wake of hUrnatz lreiiilurb, in its, 'Assesses and and inlis it attests b A oth bellige rdnenithins i and its rad effects of mangled bodlea,'Of death,and of desolation, endure In after its thunders are hushed in peace. Wiinfillinicasoeiety, disturbs its peace fhl and regular industry, andscattets poi sisedeof disease and immorality, which *edtitiitu6 to germinate and diffuse their'' hanefbl influence long after it, has ceased.' Dazzling by otter, ;mini and pagesidry; it into a spirit . of wild adven ture and' romantic enterprize, and often die qualifies those who embark in it,aßer their return from the bloody fields of battle, from. engaging in the industrious sad PeaPeful vocations of life. :We are informed by it statement, which is apparently correct, that the number of our cpuntryinen slain , in this lamentable Mexican war, although it has as yet beonof only 18 months' existence, is equal to ono half of the whole oldie American Inas du ring, the seven , years, war of the Revolu tion: And I venture to avert that the ex penditure of treasure tthlch it has wok sioncd, whoa j t shall come to be fairly as- , certained and footed up, will .be found to GET,T.TSBt.RG,. -PA. - IRIDA . tIIVISING ; :D,g .Qt : Np.A..4.),..i 8 4.;7:, be rnoreAllertAalf ot the pecuniary eon of the war of our independence. Ani thts is the condition of Os party whose ,arm hive been cverywhere,and constantly vic torious. , flow did we unhappily get involved in this war? It Wu pt✓edteted as the conse quence of the annexation of Testi to the U. States. If we had not Texas, we should have no war. The people were told that if that event happened, war would ensue. They were told that the war between Tex as and Mexico had not been terminated by a treaty of peace ; that Mexico still claim ed Texas u a revolted province ; and that, if we received Texas in our Union, we took along with her, the war existing be- tween her and Mexico. And the Minister of Medico foritially iiiitionneetT to the Gov ernment at Washington, that his nation would consider the annexation of Texas to the U. States as producing a state of war. But all this was denied by the partizans of annexation. They insisted we should have no war, and even imputed to those who foretold it, sinister motives for their groundless prediction. But, notwithstanding a state of virtual war resulted from the fact of annexation of one of the belligerents to the U. States, actual hostilities might have been probably averted by prudence, moderation, and wise. statesmanship. If Gen. Taylor had been permitted to remain, where his own goof sense promp'ted him 'to believe ho ought to remain, at the point of Corpus Christ►; and if a negotiation .had been opened with Mexico, in a true spirit of amity and con ciliation, war possibly might have been prevented. But, instead of this pacific and moderate course, whilst Mr. Slidell was bending his way to Mexico, with his di plomatie credentials, pen. Taylor was or ' dered to transport his cannon, and to plant them, in a warlike attitude, opposite to Matamoros, on the east hauk of the Rio Bravo, within the very disputed territory, the adjustment of which was to be the ob ject of Mr. Slidell's mission. What else could have transpired but a. conflict cif arms? Thus the war commenced, and the Pres ident, after having produced it, appealed to Congtotes. A bill was proposed to raise 80,000 volunteers, and in order , to commit all who should vote for it a preamble was averted falsely attributing the commence ment of the war to the act of Mexico. 1 , have no doubt of the patriotic motives of those who, after strugglimr ' to divest the bill of that flagrant error, found themselves constrained to vote for it. But I 111118 i say that no earthly consideration would have ever tempted or provoked me to vote for a bill with a palpable falsehood stamped on its face. Almost idolizing truth, as I do; never, never, could have voted for that bill. The exceptionable conduct of the Fede ral ratty; d tin fig .th it' liisißritiah - War, his excited an influence in the prosecution' of the present war, and prevented a just dis crimination between the two wars. That was a war of National defence, required for the vindieatien of the national rights and honor, and demanded by the indignant voice of the people. President Madison himself, I know, at first reluctantly and } with great doubt and hesitation, brought 1 himself to the conviction that it ought to be declared. A leading. and perhaps the most influential member of his Cabinet, (Mr. Gallatin.) was, up to the time of its `declaration, opposed to it.. But.nothing i could withstand the irresistible force of , public sentiment. It was a just war, and its great object, as announced at the time, ) was, "Free Trade and Sailors' Rights," a gainst the intolerable and oppressive arts of British power on the ocean. The jus tice of the war, fur from being denied or controverted., was admitted by the Federal party, which - only questioned it on consid erations of policy. Being deliberately and constitutionally- declared, it was. I think, their duty to have liven to it their hearty co-operation; But the mass of them did• not.. They continued to oppose and thwart it, to discourage loans and enlistments, to deny the power of the General Govern-, ment to march the militia beyond our lim its, and to hold a Hartford Convention,, , which, whatever were its real oblects, bore i the aspect of seeking a dissolution of the Union itself, They lost-and justly lust the public confidence. But has not 'an art. , pretiehsion of a similar, fate, in a state of a I case widely 'different, repressed a fearless l expreasion of their real sentiments in roma I of our public men t How totally variant is the present war! This is no war of defence, but one linne t cessary and of offensive aggression. It is i Mexico that is defending her fire-aldes, her „castles and her altars, ,not we.- And. how different also la Ate conduct of the Whig party of the present day from that ofthe I maim part of the federal party, during the War of 18121 Far from interposing ,any' obefieles to the proseention • of 'the wer, if the Whigs in office are reproachable at all it is forltaving lent too ready ti facility- to I it, without careful examination into the oh- Ijeets of 'the war. , And, out of office, ( who have rushed to the prosecution' of the I'war with more ardor and alacrity than the Whiget „Whose. hearts have bled more freely than }those of the Whigs r .

The Convention, therefore, resolv. ed to guard the "war making power against these great abuoes. of which, in the hands of a monarch, it ;was so soseepible. And the security against those abuses, which its wisdom devised;.was to vest the war making power in the Congress of the . United States, being the immediate repre sentatives of the people and the Staten...— So apprehensive and jealous was the Con vention of its otiosely' other hands, that it interdicted the exercise of the power to any State in the Crating', Without the con sent of Congress.. Congress, then, in our system of government, is the sole de pository of that tremendous power. - ---111e-Comnitatitrittrovidestrattbrigre shall have power-to deelare war, and grant letters of marque and.. reprisal, to make rules concerning captures un land and wa ter, to raise and support armies, to provide' and maintain a navy, and to make rules for the government of the land and naval forges. Thus, we percieve ‘ that the principal pow cr, in regard , to war, with all, its auxiliary attendants, is granted to Congress. Whih ever called upon'to determine upon the lll emn qUestion of peace or' war, Congrese must consider' and deliberate and decide upon the motives, objects 'and causer of war. Anti, if a War be commenced with: out any previous deellwation of its objeets, as in the. caste of : 010, 'existing war with Mexico, Congresa ,alust necessarily pea seas the authority, it any time, to declare for what purposes it *hall be further prose cuted. 11 we supposi Congreis does not possess the controlling, authority' attributed to it ; if it ho •cooteldled‘ibtei War Heitiiik been once • commenced, the President 'of the United Suttee ma r direct it to-the-nos. complisbanent. , any_ objects he_ pleates,l without cousulting and without any regard to the will of Congress ; the .

But, whenever Congress shall think proper to declare, by lionacauthentic act, fur what purposes a war shill be emu menced or continued, it is the duty of the President to apply the national force to I the attainment of those purposes. In the iinstance of the last war with Great Britain, the act of Congress by which It. was de=, clared was preceded by a messagoofPrei ident Madison enumerating the wrongs and injuries of which we complained against Great Britain. That mediae, therelnre, and withotft if the welikrieWn objeetslof the war, which Was a wiar purely of defence, rendered it necessary that Congrhas should particulariin;lh the act, thispecille'nbjeets for which it weir proclaimed.
