The assertio n wu s hoote d at . No suc h fears , i t wa s said , need bo entertained , The boundary difficulties, i t wns declared , coul d benmioubl y settled . Aud no w what ha d prove d t o be the fact ? Was no t the presen t war a consequenc e of a boundar y dis - pute? At th e ver y tim e when ou r arm y wus or - dere d to mnrol i o n Matumorus , t o take possessio n of the dispute d territory , Mr. SLIDKLL wa s on his wa y t o th e city of Mexico, to .ente r int o negotiation s for the settlemen t o f th e same dU-pute . Why not wai t unti l hi s missio n ha d boon fulfille d '? I t ha d boo n state d over and ove r sgai n that th o Whigs were tho enemie s of their country , for speak - ing agains t the war,—tha t they ha d deserte d her.— Was thi s th e cas e V Have not the Whigs, he asked , bee n a s prominent ns th e Democrats, in lightin g on the bloody hold s of Mexic o 1 Have , tlity, n.bt she d thei r blood lis freel y f War no w exists:—bu t we have as yet made n o declaratio n of the objects of that war . I t therefor e behoove s Cougrossl o dcolar o what ar e thos e objects , and upo n what terniB th e wa r with Mexic o wil l cease . In monarchie s the wur-ninkin g powe r is veste d i n th e kihg . I n thi s countr y it rests with th e people , thro' thei r representative s in Congress assembled . This i s distinctl y state d in th e constitutio n itself. I t is tru o the Presiden t has tho powe r of making treaties ; but thes e treatie s are alway s founde d on th o act s o r resolution s of Congress. In support of thi s statement , he referre d t o curtai n resolution s of Congres s regarding reciprocit y in trade , upon whic h som e ton o r a doze n treatie s have sinoo bee n founded . If, therefore , o n suc h comparativel y unimportant subject s a s trade an d commerce , th e President , take s his instruction s from th o people , throug h their rep - resentative s in Congress , much stronge r is the argu- ment for h.is doin g so, in-regard to th o prolongatio n o f war . I f Congres s remai n silen t shal l th o Presi - dent hav e power , whe n wa r has bee n once declared , t o sa y what are it s objects and w he n it shal l sto p ? If so, the n you ma y call th o President b y what name you please,but he wil l bo in fac t as powerfu l a s a Cffisnr, o n Emperor or a King. Yo u giv e to on e man a power whic h th o Constitutio n neve r intende d shoul d belon g t o him . Mr. Clay continue d to dilat e a t eonsidcrablelengt h upo n thi s topic , expressin g his convictio n that Con- . jireasshoul d doolavo,a t the. coming session, whatal' U the objects o f the war, an d what shoul d b e th o condi - tion s of peace . If th e President the n remains op - pose d to a treaty upo n th e terms indicate d by Con - gress , an d refuse s to conclud e one , ther e was a way b y whic h eve n he could be reached, an d made t o feel tha t th e wil l o f th e peopl e is the suvcreig n power.— Ho mean t b y impeachment . Mr. Clay sai d h e wa s entirely opposed t o the an - nexatio n of Mexican territory. On e half of ou r ow n territor y stil l remaine d unoccupied . Million s of acre s of land ar e still i n tho market . We. d o no t wau t more , althoug h som e desir e tha t our limit s shoul d b e extende d from the Atlanti c to th e Pacific . If Congres s shoul d pas s resolutions , declarin g tha t peac e shoul d h o conclude d \ipo n certai n terms , lixin g th o boundarie s of Texa s at what the y conside r tlio prope r lines , lie di d not believ e th o Presiden t woul d refus e to aceed o to thei r wishes. Ho wu s himsel f alread y hal f tire d of th e war, an d woul d doubtles s be ghu l enough to adop t any pla n by which peuc o migh t b e restored . As to there boin g an y difficult y in settlin g upon a boundar y line , h o woul d be willing to undertake i n til) hours to secur e Mexican consen t an d co-oporn - tion. Tho truth was, Mr. Polk imagine d that , afte r Matumoru s fell, th e Mexicans would succumb.— Suc h ha s been hi s expectatio n afte r ever y battle . But now , when w o ar o ove n in th o hall s o f Monte- zumns , ou r objec t is us fur fro m attainmen t n s ever . He referre d to th e Spanish character , n s evince d i n thei r struggle , protracte d fo r eigh t hundred years , with, th o Moors i n Spain , He spok e of the absurd- it y of asking indemnit y fo r our losses, o f a peopl e wh o hav e nothing togiv c us. As to (h e annexation o f thei r territory , h o considercdi t to h e a littl e shor t of madnes s t o introduc e cbjht o r nin e million s of people , speaking a different language an d professin g a different religion , Mining us, t o assist in governing ou r republic Suppose , sai d he, the y shoul d ehnr.se no t to sen d delegates:—coul d w o appoin t them ? — Would that be curryin g out th o principle s o f our constitution , whic h declares: that every citize n shal l hav e a voic e iu ohooshig his rulers ! Mr. CLAY declare d himself strongly opposed to the extension of slavery. He deplore d it s existence , bu t remarked that , insome lurm o r other , i t was uni - versal . Ho considere d the refusa l t o accep t ne w territor y a s the host mean s o f avertin g tho difiioul- tic s tha t surround thi s important butdelicat c subject .
