Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. G. P. Marsh, of Vermont, on the Mexican War: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the U. S., February 10, 1848 The House being in Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, and having under consideration the bill authorizing a loan not exceeding $18,500,000, Mr. Marsh, of Vermont, said - Mr. Chairman: I propose to avail myself of this occasion, to do what I have not yet done in this place - to express, namely, in the fewest possible words, my own opinion, and, as I suppose, that of a large majority of my constituents, respecting the causes, character, objects, and tendencies of the war in which we are engaged, and to assign the reasons which will compel me to vote against all measures designed for the prosecution of hostilities professedly commenced for defence, but which have been, and are, waged for purposes of aggression, invasion, and conquest. It is said that it is too late to investigate the causes of the war, and that the only remaining question proper for the consideration of Congress is, what measures will tend to bring it to the most speedy termination, and enable us to conclude a peace upon terms most advantageous to ourselves. This would, indeed, be so, if it were true that a state of war, however commenced, absolved us from all duties towards those of our fellow men who have become our enemies. But there are those, and I profess myself of the number, who can discern no sound distinction between the principles of public and private morality, and who believe that war, like private violence, can lawfully be resorted to only as a necessary means of securing already existing rights, not of creating new and independent claims. It becomes, therefore, material to ascertain the origin, causes, and purposes of every war, before it is possible to determine when its lawful ends have been accomplished, and what measure of reparation the victorious party is entitled to exact. In inquiring into the origin of the present war, it is essential to distinguish between its primary causes and its proximate occasions. That its first cause was the annexation of Texas, no man disputes; and there is as little doubt that its immediate occasion was the occupation of the left bank of the Rio Grande by the army of the United States, in obedience to the order of the President. The war is the natural and legitimate consequence of annexation; but, though a natural and legitimate, it does not follow that it was a necessary, result of that measure, and therefore this Administration may be chargeable with its guilt, although the original offence was committed before the present Executive came into power. If the Administration knowingly omitted any proper means to avert, or voluntarily adopted any measure calculated to precipitate, so dire a calamity, if it refuses to accept the terms which are believed to be now offered by prostrate and suppliant Mexico, it is responsible, before God and man, for all the consequences of its acts or its neglects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Winthrop, of Mass;, On the Mexican War: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, January 8, 1847 The House being in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and having under consideration a bill to raise for a limited time an additional military force, and for other purposes Mr. Winthrop said, that if he could have selected his own time for addressing the committee, he would not have followed so closely in the wake of his honorable and excellent friend from Georgia, (Mr. Toombs, ) who had just taken his seat. But, after watching and struggling for the flour for three or four days, he could not forego the opportunity of saying what he had to say now, even to avoid the disadvantage of placing his remarks in immediate contrast with a speech which had attracted so large a measure of attention and admiration. I am not prepared, (Mr. W. proceeded to say, ) to vote for the bill now under consideration. I certainly cannot vote for it in its present shape. I doubt whether I can be brought to vote for it in any shape, under the present circumstances of the country. But, before dealing with its particular provisions, or with the principles and policy which it involves, I desire to submit a few considerations of a more general and comprehensive character. I am not one of those, Mr. Chairman - if, indeed, there be any such in this House - who think it incumbent on them to vote against all supplies in a time of war, because they do not approve the manner in which the war was commenced, or the spirit in which it is conducted. Regarding war as an evil which no language can exaggerate; deprecating nothing more earnestly than a necessity of rendering myself in any degree responsible for its existence or continuance; desiring nothing so sincerely as an opportunity of contributing in any way to the peace of ray country and of the world; I vet acknowledge That there are many cases in which I should feel constrained to vote men and money for prosecuting hostilities, even though they had originated in measures which I utterly condemned. I may say, in a word, and without further specification, that I am ready to vote for the defence of my country, now and always; and, when a foreign army is on our borders, or a foreign squadron in our bays, I shall never be for stopping to inquire into the merits of the quarrel, or to ascertain who struck, or who provoked, the first blow, before doing whatever may be in my power to drive back the invaders, and to vindicate the inviolability of our soil. Nor do I forget that it may be sometimes necessity for our defence to carry the war into the enemy's country, and to cripple the resources and crush the power of those who may insist on disturbing our peace. When such a necessity exists, and is clearly manifested, I shall not shrink from meeting its responsibilities. And here, Mr. Chairman, let me say to the honorable member from Ohio, (Mr. Giddings, ) that I cannot acknowledge the entire applicability to the present issue of those British precedents which he held up for our imitation a few days ago. I am not ready to admit that there is any very close analogy between the struggle of the American colonies in 1776 and that of the Mexicans now. Still less analogy is there between a vote of the British House of Commons and a vote of the American House of Representatives. A refusal of supplies in the Parliament of Great Britain is, generally speaking, equivalent to a change of Administration. No British Ministry can hold their places in defiance of such a vote. A successful opposition to supplies in time of war is thus almost certain to result, in bringing forthwith into power a Ministry opposed to its further prosecution; and the kingdom is not left to encounter the dangers which might result from a conflict, upon such a subject, between the executive and the legislative powers. It Is not so here. No vote of Congress can change ou

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Webster's Speech, in the Senate of the United States, March 23, 1848, on the Mexican War Now, sir, there ma be a plausible reason for saying that'ithe'r'e is difficulty in re cruiting at home for t e supply of deficiency in the volunteer regiments. It may be said that volunteers choose to enlist under officers of their own knowledge and selec tion; they do not incline to enlist as individual volunteers; to Join regiments abroad, under officers of whom they know nothing. There may be something-in that pray what conclusion does it lead to, if Enot to this, that all these regiments mu'sf moulder away, by casualties or the privates are less in' number than the officers themselves.'

We shall gain the seeds of a thousand evils - internaljealousy and bickerings - and we shall gain the condemnation and shame of the world. History has no blacker page than that which records the. Partition of Poland among the st1onger powers aiound her., The plea that the. Safety of their institutions, the institutions of monarchy which made slaves of the r subjects, does not save them. That great crime has an undying fame. But, sir, if this plan of the dismemberment of the weak Republic upon our southern border is consummated, that crime will find its rival. The plea that our domestic institutions demand it, will find no favor, when the judgment of all civilized and Christian mankind, present and future, now and f01ever, comes to be made up! It 18 for such a 1va1, leading to such consequences, that we are now, in our chaiacter as Reptesentatives, called upon to vote supplies. T, reasure and human life-millions of dollais and thou sands of men - aie demanded of us, to be ex pended to accomplish such a result. And we are told that, without scruple, without complaint, it is our duty to grant this demand. We a1s told that now, after the war has been begun, the Executive is charged with full power ove1 its conduct and end, and that our duty, as good patriots, is to yield to his requests, and keep silence as to his usurpations. Sir, I hold to no such slavish doctrine. I deem it my duty to waist and denounce it, whenever and 11011 eve1 attempted to be enforced. The Chairman of Foreign Affairs (mr. Ingersoll) gave us the other day the official creed upon this subject 1n these words, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
