by f,h'e‘nct of Mexico, it existed—so far as it is
possible for the United States to be at war with-
out the consent of the will‘ making power———by
the act of Mr. Polk alone. Nor, in our opinion,
did it exist witliout. preilieditation. It had beell
contemplated as possible, at. least, from the inn-
ment of his coming to the Pre..-tidency. The
Government paper, as we have iili-cady remark-
ed had not been in existence more than a week
before, in that mirror of the Presidential senti-
ment, the invasion, and even the conquest of
Mexico, \ver‘e foreshadowed—wo may say pre-
dicted-in the event of Mexico venturing to ex
ercise any iiiltliorify on the east bank of the Rio
Graiide. As early as June, 1845——[mark the
dnto]——tho Cmnmander ofthe Naval i'o_i;ce offlie
United States ill llio Pacific was,direcIed to look
out for a war:wiih Mexico, and, on rcceiptofthe
news ofit, to possess him.<elf of the port of San
Francisco, on the coast of California, and such
other ports as his force would p0l'l‘l]ll3. He had
been so instructed even earlier than this: foijtlie
letter to him begins: " Your aliontioil is still
particularly directed,” &c. to the contingency
of war. Congress was to meet in the Decem-
ber followinrv. Early in November, the Mes-
sage of the President to Congress being in a
state of preparation, already contained, as we
had every reason to believe, a recommendation
of hostilities against Mexico, in some form or
other, on the ground,of unsatisfied claims ofour
citizens, of unpaid iiidcinuity money, and other
alleged grievances. On the 9tll of November,
howevenjust three weeks before the SOSSXOH
began, information having been received from
our Consul at Mexico that theMcxican Govern-
ment was willing to receive a Commissioner to
negotiate concerning the Texas boundary. H10
Message was perforce changed. The body of
the indictment against that Government was in-
deed retained, as the reader will perceive if he
will take the trouble to refer to the Message it-

Santa Anna, for what precise purpose can only
be inferrce from the fact that the day after the
war was declared to exist, dirc.clioiis were given

show that war was prciucdit-.1teil by the Prcsi- i the rciilonstraiice and the unansworable showing

Tho President declared to Coilgrcss, it is
true, iufhis Message of last year, that this war
with Mexico had not been waged in a spirit of:
conquest. \Vould any one suppose, with these;
instructions to our Naval Coiiiinandar:<, that he?
understood the import of this disclainler?
once can at least uiisundci'sl'and the purport ofl
his present Message, bi°eat‘iiin{,', as it does, noth-l
ing but war, a Conqueror’s peace, or the alter-
native of the annihilation of Mexico.‘
Nor does the President scam to understand
himself in another respect any better than he
did when he disclaimcd any purpose of conquest
in the prosecution of the war with Mexico.
In setting forth, for instance, in the beginning
ofthis Message, his own love of Peace and
strenuous efforts to preserve for us its blessings,
we must look on him as exliibitiiig a very signal
example ofself delusion. No iuan’s pacific iner-
ifs could well be less. His course, lllus far, in
his high office, on the coiitrnry, realized to the
full, in almost evei'y'insl:anco, what we said ofit
a year ago; namely, that, having seen that wars
were popular in this country, and felt that he
himself was not too popular, he had tliought to
hzmselfl "I will be a \Var ‘)l'CSl(ICllt, and that
will make me popular and render all my oppo-
nents and competitors odious.” Accordingly,
his very Inaugural had a full-blown quarrel Willi
England in it; his first Annual Message an-
nounced that he had done nearly all he could to
bring that quarrel to a focus ; meantime he had
secretly taken steps for anofherwith Mextco, by
way of making sure of a war soincwlierc. So
that, no sooner had the interposition oftlle Sen-
ate foiled him in his oi-iginril war plan, than, by
a dilligent improvcnient of his time, he had
another fight ready to substitute. for that which
had been refused him. Grown more wary this
time, he took care not to be foiled by any body’s
discretion; and, though Congress ‘was sitting
for five months before he had brought everything
to bear, contrived to have a war completely in
H blaze, aild our succorlcss army placed in what
(their prowess unknown) sec-ined an alinosl
hppelcss predicament, before the country or
Congress knew one word of wluit he wnsaboiit.
Such are the general and the largest facts, as
to that merit ofloving peace wliich the Presi-
dent: appropriates to himself. If we look closer
and scan the pai'ti:ulai's of things, we musi; um
only say that President Polk is not-possessed of
that virtue ofa ruler which lie clziiim, aiid-—we
regret we must say it—-has shown, and every-
indifferent to the carnage and calamities of war.
Of little less than stone, indeed, nlu.-:t his heart
be, who can look, without the strongest. commis-
eration, upon the spectacle of a riarion reduced
to the extremity of distress in which Mexico,
knoivu from the first to be iucapallle of resistiiig
us, now stands. Not one spark of ccmpassioh
can his breast; ever have known, who. after in-
flicting upon a wretched people, destitute ofnuy
resource against us but their liei-editary obsti-
nacy, all the slaughter and humiliation which
we have everywhere inflicted upon Mexico, can
coolly resolve in hisheart that this lS1l0l67l()'ll,Q'lL,'
ficiont ravage. nor saiisfiictory disaster; not nil-
tional woe and degrad ition duly doc}: ; for that
the victim-people, though cm~ercd with blood
and prostrate in the dust, s.’:'ll, with desperate
:constitutioually involved us in this cruel war,
tlier into “the bowels of the land."
Yet, in the face of all tl1is.I-’rcsidont Polk can
talk smoothly of his love of Peacc,the"liherali-
ty” oftlie terms he has held out through Mr.
Trist, and especially the generosity with which,
N01 wnerever the sword goes to crimson the fields’
of Mexico, the olive bra nch forthwith waves, as

No! The man oflhc most declared pride scarce-
ly dares to trust: his own heart with this dread-
ful secret of ambition. And no man who pro-
fesscs to reduce another to the insolent mercv
ofa foreign arm ever had any sort of good will
toward him. The profession of kindness, with
that sword in his hand and that demand of sur-
render, is one of the most provoking acts of his
l:ost.il,ity.”
Can the President so littlcconcoive how more
a mockery of peace aild fratcrilily is this inva-
ding a coilnlry with declarat'ioi'is of love, this
sweeping off its provinces with a bosom made of
olive branches, as to expect that Mexico will
not be fired with adouble rcseiltinent by the impe-
rious and degrading form of negotiation to which
he would have her submit? If he does expect.
