PITTSBURGH, MONDAY; MAY 18, 1846
Ready and Ming.
It will he seen by the proceediriws of a meeting
held mn'Friday evening last, of the tonuhissioned
and non-commissioned officers of the "First - Regi-
Ment of -fennsylvania- Vohmteets, that an old,
tried soldief," Col: Trorhzio, is authorized to noti
fy thePres...Went Of the United Stites that the Fist
Regiment is
_"rtidy'! to /march- to the, defence of

that the President mffil,promptly accept the semi.,

--During tie late - War. the Pennsylvaniavolunteers
distinguished themselves-by-deeds - of noble daring
at Bridgewater Chippewa,Miss' isenewit, and many
other places; and if again called upon, we hare
no doubt will win new laurels upon the Rio
Grande: The Presidentis authorized to accept the
services_ of fifty thotqand volunteer*. We now be
lieVe that ittliy that
_,number will offer their ser
vices from this good old Commonwealth alone.
The. Gazette and. Mexico.
The editor of the Gazette, in the first paper is
suetraßer 'the receipt of the' excitink news from
the Rio Grande,intimated tthat the President, in
violation of the'Ponstitution, had invaded Mexico
%--that our government had never exercised jurisdic.
Lion over the territory beyond the Neuces. To' prove
that this Wns not true, 1,1 - e pointed to the fact that
the President; in Ads late message, stated that the
revenuelaWs of the United States had been extend
oier the territory, and, the necessary officers
appointed by and 'with the advice and consent of
the Senate: This, we said, was conelusive evi.
dance that! the Army of Gem' Taylor was ;posted
upon territory subject to 'the lays of, the 'United
States.
The editor of the Gazette has not met the facts
presented by us in defence of our side of the ques.
tion. We will note direct the attention of the editor
„ - again to the facts of the case, so - far as they are
• within our knowledge. ,In the first place, the 3d
article of - the,. .treaty of May 14, 1836, between
Santa'Ana and the 'pexian Government, we re
gaol as having a very important bearing upon the
point at issue. It is in the following words:
''AIt.TICL.T. 3. The Misican troops will evacu
ate the territory of Texas, passing to the other side
of the Rio Grande del Norte."
The Mexican Army were required to "evacuate
the territory , of Texas," and in order to do ins, it
bat seen that they were to pass "to the otha side
if the Rio Grande .fkl IV:ie." The article not only
requres the 'Mexican troops "To F.T . VVATE THE
TEIIIIITOnk OF T 5.415," bUtSpedfleally fb,pass
.!!.-; the other side of the Rio Grande del Norte." Why re.
„..
_quire the exican troops "to pass to - the other side
of the Rio - Grande del Norte,” if it was not neces
sary.for.them to do so in order to 'evacuate the
territory of Te.sas?" It is Clear, therefore, that
the parties tol the treaty of. May 14, 1836, regard
ed the Rio Grand as the boundary between Texas
and Aexicp; and hence the provision in the treaty
that the Mexican troops should "pass tathe.other
-" 4 side of, the. Rio Grande del Norte." It is a clear
case; the. Mexican Government have no just claim
to the territory between the Nueces and Rio Grande.
bathe month_of December of the mune year, the
Representatives of the people of the Republic of
-Texas in Congress passed an act - Aefining
the = boundaries .of tha same. In that act
'.31-aich was 'approyed by President Houston
on the 19th of Decerriber, 1836: the boundaries
of the Republic of - Texas, are described as follows:
• "Be it enacied by the 'Senate and Howe of .Repre
., sentatioes of the Republic of Texas in Congress as
. iembled, That from and after the , passage of this
act, the civil and potitieatjurisdiction of this Repub
lic be, and is hereby declared to eijeud to the fol
lowing boundaries; to wit: Beginning at the north
of the Sabine river, anclrunning west along the Gulf
of Mexico, three leagues from land, to the mouth of
"the Rio Grande„thence op the principal stream of said
river to its source."
The •frarnera of the Texas constitution, in ac
.
cordance with the 3d article of the treaty.made
with' Santa Ana, flied the Rio Grande 'as the boun
dary between Mexico and the Republic.
There is alsci abundant evidence that the terri
tory between the Neuces and the Rio Grande, be-,
„longed to the province of Texas, before the organi-1
- nation of the Republic. We will now ask the at
' -teutionof the Editor of the Gazette to Mr. Adams'
views onithat isubject In a letter to Don Onis,
dated 13th March, 1818, Mr. Adams said:
. ".The claim of France always did extend west
ward to to the Rio Bravo.' 'She ahray* claimed
- the territory which yots call Texas as being with
in the - limits.' And he further says: 'Well might
Messrs. Pinkney and Monroe write toM. Cevallos,
in 1805, that the claim of the United States to the
• boundary /*the Rio Bravo- was as clear as: their
right to the Island of New Orleans.' And in his
letter of the 31st of October, 1818, he says: 'Our
title to Texas is established beyond the power of
• further controversy."
• -
Mr,. Clay in a speech delivered in Congress on
the 3d of April 1820 said:
`iThicinvolveil an inquiry into our claim to Tex
as, It-was not his intention to enter at large into
this•sulject. He presumed the spectacle would
not be prezented, of questioning, in this branch of
the government, our title to Texas, which had been
1 constantly maintained by the Executive for more
_than fifteen years past, under three several admin
istration.s. He was, at the same time, ready and
' preparelfmake out our title, if any one in this
House were fearless enough to controvert it. He
would; for the 'present, briefly state that the man
who most familiar with the transactions of the
govenunent---who largely participated in the for
mation of. the constitution, and in all that has been
done under it—who, &sides the eminent services
that he has rendered his country, principally con
tributed to the acquisition of Louisiana, and who
must be supposed, from his various opportianities,
best io know its limits—declared, fifteen years
" ago, that our title to the Rio Grande was as welt
founded alit , was to the 'irons! of New Orleans.'l
• We have now shown that the Ric Grande Was
• fixed as the boundary between Mexico And Texas,
by Santa Anna's treaty of May. 14, 1836; we have
also' shown that the Mexican Congress,.n Decem ber of the same year, declared that the Rio Grande
•
' was the dividing line between Texas and Mexico.
• --- Ve have proven by the evidence •of the editor's
*litical friends, Messrs. ADAMS' and CLAT, that
the province called Texas extended to the Rio
.
Bravn; whieh is only another name for the Rio
Grande. We belie shown, too, that the American
Government has been , exercising civil jurisdiction
over the territorY beyond the Nueces. We defy
the editor of the Gazette to controvert the facts l
' I
above ;stated. The unprejudiced of all parties, we
doubt 'not, will freely admit that the United States
ha* a clear right to the territory upon which Gen,
Taylocis stationed with his troops, and if so, the
'of the Gazette, that the President has inva
ded_charge ,
Mexico, is utterly untrue.
The evidence given, above ought to satisfy the
editor-of the Gazette that the zaver Rio Grwade has
el. Ways been regarded as the boundary of Texas and
but we haven° hive that he can now be in
.
guewdby facts or argnments;he has taken taa stand

his patriotic lahors to prove his /Ant government in
the wrong. The editor *light faktiniv that; his ef`,

the wrong , —that she is fact the aggressor: hay
jug invaded Mexico,- is calculated to weaken the
arm of his own im%ernment, in the struggle about
to ensue.
The Pennsyviinian of Monday congratulates the
people of Pittsburgh on their "merry mood" in
view of the supplementary legislation regarding
the. Connellsville. - railroad charter. Well, is it any
Uncommon affair that those who "win". shcinbi
exercise the common privilege of 'laughing," not'
only at . theiiewn success but the total diseomfi-,
tore of . their enemies. But whilst congratulating .
us on a return of good humour, the editor of that
print betrays in a very ftriking , degree the bitter
ness of his own feelings, for which he seeks relief
in pouying out the vials of his wrath upon one of
our Senators, with a side wipe at one of hie own,
Mr. GIBBONS, who had much less knevtiedge of
the passage - of these supplements than Mr.CRABII,
to whom, we know, at least one important section
was exhibited, and who was too stupid or negli
gent to.exarnine into its provisions. He seems,
also; to seek consolation from the hope—vain hope
we are sure—that either by intimidation or other,
influences they, can prevail on the Governor to re
fuse to comply with a plain and _unmistakeable
cOmmand—ine in which he has no:discretion, di
rect et: implied The law says in explicit terms,

With by the commissioners in taking the stock

tor says, "we think the Governor will be justified
in refusing letters patent." Does ho wish and de.
sire to place the Governor of this great State, who
is bcbnd by his oath of office, to see That "the laws
are faithfully executed," in the category of being
the very instrument of their direct and, palpable
violation by an act'of his ?- Would any friend

mistake the chaxacter of Gov. Squara, if be is the
man tole . led into any such traps by the advice of
the Pennsylvanian or any other print or individu
als, however imposing "'their names or influence.
The Governor is an honest man, and knows his
duty well. He now has no power over this char
ter, which he willingly and voluntarily signed; and
should its further requirements be carried out, he
is bound to issue the letters patent, and we have
no fear that he will shrink from the execution of
his duty in this particular, to gratify the maligni
ty of Philadelphia against this section if the State,

WASHIIIGTON, Aftty 13, 1846.
The principal topic of conversation here, is the
war with Mexico. The general impression is that
it will not beef long duration. The liberal means
at the control of the President for carrying it on,
and the still more liberal spirit of the people in
coming forward to tender their services for the oc
casion, it is confidently believed will enable this
governinent to bring the "Revolutionized nation"
to terms, during the present season. There is,
however, another view of this matter which will
be of far more consequence, than the mere settle
ment of our differences with Mexico. The prompt
ness with which Congress has acted—the decided
majorities in both houses in favor of the bill which
has passed—aml the alacrity which thelpeople are
offering their services; will show to the world that ,
though in times of quiet with other nations we
may be divided with seism and cut up into par
ties, whenever a foreign foe invades us we are °Ns
PEOPLE. •
You will have seen that by the law, the 'Pres: -
dent is authorized to accept the service of volun
teers to the number of 50,000, if he shall deem it
necessary. This number, it is generally believed
will not'embrace but a small position of those who
will offer and will probably be made up, princi
pally froni the western and south-western states.
A few from a more nothern region; may be accept
ed for the campaign in the northern part of Mexi
ccp—say Santa Fe and California.
I hope to hear a good account from our volun
teer corps in Pennsylvania. Cannot Pittsburgh,
raise a regiment It would speak favorably for
Pennsylviusia, if she would offer to the general gov
ernment the number authorized by the law. Sup
pose you set that ball rolling.
Washington is fast filling up with strangers—
has now about as many as at any tame during the
winter. The hotels and_ most of the boarding hon.
sea are all full. Some are attracted by interests
connected with the war—and many by those con
nected with the approaching national fair. There
is no question that this is to be a grand affair.—
The building erected exprmly for the purpoie coy
, era an area of about 40,000 square feet. The-per
formance is to terminate by a ball in the same
building, in which it is cornputedfive hundred setts
of cotillions can be accommodated at the same tithe.
I idvise our Pittsburgh friends who may design
to attend the fair, to be here a day or two, at least,
to advance, if they shall desire a "place wheron
to lay,their head." Yours, in a hurry.

Our democratic friends are seriously invitednd to
consider the extraorilinaryassumption efpower by
the present Whig commissioners, in their novel and
illegal course in the distribution of property which
by the. People wee confided to them as aqsacred de
posite. The time was,when under gooff, old demo
cratic rule, the commissioners were goyemed—by
principles of law and a sense of duty, but now we
find them regardless of alt considerations of public
policy, pursuing measures having ulterior views to
subsem mere party purposes, and employing per
sons unnecessarily to expend . money for the ac
complishment of party nominations ark personal
aggrandizement
Under what authority of law do the commission-
err act, in pulling down a most expensive part of
the public buildings? l'he alterations being made
are not called for by an expression ofpublic opini
on; nor can it be said the ehangei in progress are
repairs which would be required in view of conve
nience or comfort to those interested. Have 'all
the commissioners assumed the responsibility of
the vast expenditure incident to . the present alter
ations, or is this work the dictum of one-master
spirit, who seeks a nomination for one of the pub
lic offices? The public bunters, alreadY onerous,
demands economy in the expenditure of the pub
lic taxes, and unless some good and sufficient rea
son be assigned for the extravagant outlay in the
present instance, we will expect the people to be
up and doing, in the matter of the nominations for
the office of county commissioner, to arrest the
unnecessary and prodigal waste of public money,
in rebuilding piles of stone and planting: trees, for
the mere purpose of enabling a few to; laud the
commissioners for liberality to the working classel.
'When shall we be done with the new Court house
expenditure, and when may we expect the Tax
payers tobe freed from the burdens connected with
thii court house affair?
Will any one of the commissioners file a demur
rer, or take issue upon the facts in this case? ~We
hope, however, the commissioners may, setter is
their pleas, and not doubt a Jury of the Country
in their integrity to 'decide upon -an issue of fact
exhibiting the, meriti of the cause, if any in this
wild and extravagant expenditure of the public
funds. "Give us the facts, and we warrant that
judgment shall not be postponed beyond the Second
