But a day of retribution—at least of partial re tribution---caste at last. 'Mexican blood flowed pretty freely on the field of San Jacinto. There was paid the first instalment of the debt which had been contracted A balance still remained un paid. And for that I think we are in a pretty fair way to obtain eatiafaction. On that field a nation was born. For years after— indeed up till the iecent demonstration by the'Mex jeans' on the left bank of the Rio Grande—scarce ly a hostile foot left its impress on the soil of Tex as. Her independence was recognized by the most powerful nations of Europe, and by our own Government She was an independent sovereignty, and in that character . had the right, and exer , cried it, of askin ,, admission into our Union.— She was admitted. ' , Another star was added to the national galaxy. There may it glitterin freshness and beauty till the glorious destiny of the- Ameri- I call Union shall be fulfilled. But we were told by the Mexitian Government, in advance, that the annexation of Teias would be 1 considered tantamount to a dealaration of war. Had we taken her at lies word, with that measure mall attempts at negotiation would have ceased, and actual hostilities would have commenced. But instead of that, we applied to them to receive a minister. --We almost entreated them to set tle all disputes by negociation. They agreed to receive a minister, on condition, however, that our fleet should be withdrawn from Vera Cruz. That fleet seemed to be a thorn in their side. Our fleet was withdrawn: A representative was despatch ed. But, behold, when he arrived, they refused to recognise him. The quibbles on which they ba sed this refusal, furnish another precious and stri king instance of their perficlity. Mr. Slidell be gan to grow impatient, under their evasions and subterfuges, and wrote home to that ei.ect. Mr Buchanan, in reply. urged hini to bear it with pa tience, and, it he failed to secure a recognition from the dynasty he found in power when he went there. to try it again under the next military des potism, by who it should be superceded. Mr. Buchanan at the tame time says to him—not for effect at Mexico, but as a matter of en-testi and confidential instruction, and with the candor which distinguishes that gentleman in public as well as ! in private life. "The president is sincerely desi roes to preserve peace woi Mexico. Both nation and policy dictates this course. - We despatched a minister on their own terms. Regardless of their express engagement, they re. pelted him, and in effect sent him borne. Here was a fresh and luring insult. All this meant some thing. It was not without a pregnant meaning.— Thee were grace mattera in dispute between the two governments. There were questions pending that did not admit of pastponement. They rein., 'aed, under circumstances that added insult to inju- Ray, to settle them by negotiation. Did they not thereby present tous war as the only alternative!

Suppose the parties had keen England and France—would it not has e been so regarded?— Would not their armies have been in quick and hostile motion, and the British channel whitened " with the canvass of their ships of wart But still, in oar forbearance, we did not practically treat It I in this light. We still abstained from all acts of ; aggression. Besides this last and crowning insult, have they not for years .past been threatening to wage war upon us. First we were to have vcar if we did not present oar brave and enterprieing-citizens from bearing arms in the cause of. Texan independence. Next we were sure to hay» war if we ventured to annex Texas. Then we were to have war if we dared to take armed occupation ti hat country.— I War haa been suspended over otirheada, aecorthog to their bravadoes, upon a great many contingencies. All these contingeneieShim cried; but still there was no war. We had received a great many invita tions, but still the ball was not opened. We were , not disposed to be trifled with any longer, and kept in this state of suspense. So we sent Gen. Taylor, (but still with pacific instructions,) to the east bank of the Rio Grande, to see what they ac tually meant. It was high time that there should be a solution of the question. It was high, nine, too, we should cease being made to play the part I of scare-goat to the contending factions of Mexico in their conflicts with each other. The period of trifling—Of threats—of quari war —has gone by, and actual war has ensued, no t from our seeking, but by the fault of Mexico. She has threatened war for years past. She actually j clarad war, ome time before we did. he struck the first blow She crossed the Rio Grande in hus tle array, attacked our troops, and killed our offi cers and solders on the soil we claim as our own. and of which welted actual possession. The mur der of Col. Cross, the death of young Porter, (the gallant son of a gallant sire.) of Mason, Kane, and others, attest the fact, and sealed. it in blood. Mex ico struck the first blow. Be the consequence on her own head. War then actually exists. What shall be the at titude of Pennsylvania in re 'erence to it? Am I' wrong when 1 say (does not all her last history. and all present indications warrant me in saying) that in a crisis like this, she will east aside all dif ferences of opinion on minor questions—and that but one sentiment will animate the breasts of her people, prompting them cheerfully to contribute their efforts, their means, their blood if riecefaary, to the support of the Government—the prosecu tion of the war—the triumph of our arnie—the glory, the increase and perpetuity of our Union.— The volunteers of our city and county, I ant re joiced to observe, have promptly tendered their services to the Government. There is an old and tried soldier at their head, and there are younger I ones along with him, who, if I mistake not, will never suffer the national flag to be tarnished in' their hands. They will give a good account of themselves, and of the place they hail from, whenever and wherever au opportunity shall he presented. The war has begun' and victory—a glorious and' derisive victory—has crowned the bravery and discipline of our soldiers. Their ranks are swell- 1 in.', and their march is onward. Unless the enemy shall sue for peace, they will not stop short of the walls of the city of Mexico. There we will dic tate terms of peace. and some of her northern proe!.! inces, already independent of the central power, will indemnify us for the expenses of the war. While we rejoice in our triumphs on the Rio Grande, let us never forget those who fought the battle, and especially those who fell in the hour °i l victory. Would not the impulse, uppermost in your breast at this moment, prompt you to rush, if! you could to the grave of Ringgold—the brave' accomplished, gallant Ringgold—and his o cmpan ions in death and glory—to moisten their grave with a tear—and there realize, and swear by the flag of your country, that such blood has not been shed in vain. The soil where they sleep in death is hallowed ground, secured to their country, and consecrated to freedom by their blood. May it never be desecrated, by the footstep of the foe.—lt was a death to be envied--one that leaves a death less name behind. GEN..
