Was this summons an act of hostili ty? It was not so regarded by General Taylor, for in his note in reply, he says the responsibility will rest upon those " who rashly commence hostili ties. " So, according to his own confession, before the Mexicans had com menced hostilities, he blockaded their town and cut off their supplies. Does not this make us the aggressors? Have we in time of peace a right to blockade the Mexican ports, and so cut off supplies from their army ? This is not a threat, but... an act of hostility. We were not only the aggressors in invading a country in possession of Mexico, but we were guilty of the first overt act. And I should like to be told, even if the Rio Grande w^re the true boundary, whether the Mexicans were not justified in crossing the river to cut off General Taylor's supplies, after he had blockaded the port and cut off theirs? The aggression was on our part. We commenced hostilities. [Mr. JONES, of Georgia. 1 wish to ask the gentleman from Massachu setts, whether he has any authority for saying that the Mexicans crossed the river simply to cut off General Taylor's supplies.
