Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Message of the Governor of Pennsylvania, Transmitted to the Senate and House of Representatives: Read in Both Houses, on Wednesday, January 6, 1847 Since the last adjournment of the General Assembly, the peace, which had so long subsisted between this nation and, the other nations of the world, has been disturbed by the war between the United States and Mexico. The grave causes which have produced this rupture, are ably, and satisfactorily set forth in the late annual Message of, the President to_ Congress. They show a dignified forbearance on the part of this Government, under multiplied wrongs and aggressions, and, a laudable desire to pre serve peace, while its blessings could be secured consistently with the national honor. A free people conscious that they ask nothing but What is right, cannot submit to wrong, and however much they may deprecate the evils of war, their just rights must be maintained. Hence Congress, on the 13th of May, 1846, announced, that bythe act pf Mexico a state of war existed between that government and the United States, and for the purpose of prosecuting it to a speedy and successful termination, the President 'was authorized ti) employ the militia, naval and military forces of the United States, and to call for'and accept the services of fifty thousand volunteers.
