lieves ii ought TO do, whenever Mexico
will consent TO the establishment Of our
boundary ai the Rio Grande, and will give
sufficient guarantee of indemnify to our
citizens. He was opposed 10 war Of
conquest-to despoiling Mexico of single

more than it, dnty-all that it could do TO
avert this war, which was forced upon Us.
II his course rere pursued, the tc0r might
be closed IN sir months-perhaps in three
months,


II, then. the war were brought to close,
as he hoped, in three or six months, this
sum (S9, ,300, 900 on hand in the Treasury
would be ample TO defray IFS crpenses, and

nue. for the war.
