But this is not all, sir ; the President asked for an appropriation of $3, 000, 000, to enable him to advance a portion of the consideration money, for any cession of territory the Mexican Government might be willing to make. The character and objects of the war having been thus announced to Congress and the country, I, with most of the Senators on this side of the chamber, at the last session of Congress, voted men and money for its prosecution. And, sir, to show that our votes were given with... no view to the acquisition of Mexican territory by conquest, I refer to the amendment offered by the honorable Senator from Georgia, (Mr. BERRIEN, ) to Senate bill, No. 105, "making further appropriation to bring the existing war with Mexico to a speedy and honorable conclusion, " com monly called the three million bill. The following are the words of the amendment : " Provided always, and it is hereby declared to be the true intent and meaning of Congress, in making this appropriation, that the war \vivh Mexico ought not to be prosecuted by this Government, with any view to the dismemberment of that republic, or to the acquisition, by conquest, of any portion ol her ter ritory.
