Why, if it pass — if I may be permitted to use the expres- sion — it rather shows the " white feather !" It fears — it is founded on the apprehension — that no such peace as we are willing to obtain can be procu- red by means alone of a vigorous prosecution of the war. Its object is not ta conquer a peace, but to buy a peace ! And, Mr. President, the Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations, in his speech as reported, ^nd as I understood him to say correctly reported — stated, perhaps ina...dvertently, why it is that it is so absolutely important now, that this bill should meet the sanction of Congress. I think he has done so inadvertently; because he has, I am inclined to suppose, been affording, in what I am about to read from him, " aid and comfort" to the enemy ; and I beg him to take care, if he is in earnest in it, that he does not meet with presidential or or- ganic censure. After speaking of the debility of Mexico — her distress — her conquered towns and provinces — her agitation — her factions — the hon- orable Senator tells us — (the truth will come out when the heart is full of it — and we may well suppose that the thought was suggested to him in some anxious colloquy with the manager of our finances !) " ON OUR PART, we BEGIN TO FEEL THAT WE ARE ENGAGED IN AN EN- PENSIVE WAR— a war attended BY A GREAT SACRIFICE OF LIFE, AND ONE CALCULATED TO EXHAUST, TO A GREAT EXTENT, THE MEANS OF THIS GOVERNMENT, AND IF CONTINUED FOR A GREAT WHILE LONGER, MUST RESULT IN IMPOSING HEAVY BURDENS UPON OUR PEOPLE." That is the source of solicitude, and that no doubt is the fact.
