Jour nat. '1 --- it L EGISL ATURE OF S. CAROL INA, p Repor-t of the Committee on Federal Re. t' lationts on so nmuchl of thme Governor's o Message as relatet. to the Mexican watr. Also certain Resol-jtionts on the samte V etubject. The Committee on Federal Relat.ions, b to whom was referred so tnuch oif the Gov' ernor's Messsage as relates tot thc Mexican ml war, amnd the resolutiotn offered un the same n r.ubject bmy the Hnomrable Senator f-rm p Union, have given tltis deeply interesting .J anti itmportatt question that considetratiou which it smo justly merits, and would must V resp~ect fully re part- hi That in order to present the justice and si prepriety of this war, on the part of the F United States. in its true light, it becotmes C naece-aary to ref-r in the circumstiatnces 5 wvhich indluced Mexico, in her folly and ai-rogance, to commence hostilities. C -It is well kntown that great inducements i1 wvere offered American citizens to settle in e Texas. Trhey received most liberal grants - of hanids, were pertmiuted to form a free r represerntative govertnment andI become a sovereign State in the reputblican confede $racy of M~exico. Under such a formr of government they had sectnred to them all ( the tivil and political rights which they a had' enjoyed in the land of their birth. ti They wete rapidly increasitng in numbers, C growing it) wealth, prosperous and happy. ti But. by otne of those snudden revoluations ci which have so characterized the Mexican . people, the federal government ,wvas dles- il troyed, antd a cetiral despotism established n in its place, which deprived rho Texans of I' all political privileges, andi atnnihilated r their State governtmnt. Tlhis could nout a be borne by mien who hand beotn ediueited as freemen, aid who had itt their veins ni Anglo Saxon blood. They itmmediately b deelnredl their indmependecIe anad stood justinied in the eyes of the wvorbml. Their dt independence was acknowledged by the ii principal powvers of Europe, and main- it tained for eight years by their valur and jF iiomn. They as-iumted as their western ri baandary the Rio Grande. which had beenformerly the recogntized limits of MideWi Mexico offered to recognuise their Io independence, provided they would not s S$t&h theitsdives to the Uited States. ght of T is toVbe -portion . ited Sttes, there odo e . independent, she t e i hpose'ffHerself as she roper li United States had the nd biedt rigi A receive her into their nim Iu doing so they did no injustice > Mexico. But the Mexican government eelred beforehand, that they would re ard the annexalion ofTexas to the United iaites. as an act of war on the part ofrthe :deral govdrnment. They immediately :called the;r ninister at Washington, and ismissed the American minister at lexi s. An army was organized on the banks f the Rio Grande, with orders to invade 'exas and capture General Taylor and to American forces under his command. 'his %Yas all done by Mexico belfore any stile movement was made on the part cthe United States, and whilst Mexico ns rejecting all propositions to treat as the boundary of Texas, The removal of the Am-rican troops om the Neuces to the Rio Grande was me by the advice of Gerteral Taylor, and ith a view of repelling the threatened wasion of our snil by the Mexican army. he right of the President to take this step. Id te propriety of it, can now hardly be iubted. Confident from his superior ni-mibers of i osy victotry, the Mexican (eneral ossed tha river, an-I commenced the war obedience to the orders of is govern ent, which were afterwards fcund nongst his papers. The result was the ctories of Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia aina, andi the total route of General Aris and the Mexican forces. Ilad Gen Taylor or the President been intent witi these victories, and have aited for tite enemy to recruit his strength id select his own time for another attack would have been a most culpable aban )ndment of all the advantages obtained ( those hard foug-ht battles. The polley ' war, as well as our national honor, de auded an invasioni of Mexico, and a ininuance of the war until she sned for ce, or her armies were annihilated, and e country overrun. This has -been done iumphantly ani gloriously. The annals 'history scarcely alTord a parallel to that illiant succession of victories an:] gallant :hievements which have crowned our S:: in Mexico with imperishable honors, id shed a halo of glory around theineri in name. Having conquered the country, it now ,comes a question of policy, whether to Jtinue in possession of the whole of Mex o, or retain only so much as may be an nylo indemnity for the expenses of the ar.
