Policy Of the administration rereaIed in part b,


the late Mr.. Dromgoole.


The following extract from the late Mr.
Dromgoole's address TO bis constituents, dated
Washington, February s. ls47, reveals in par,
/ the Mexican war policy of the Administration
! That extraordinary man speaks the true issue
in this extract; and, if he had added, that the
Administration never intends TO lei the Mexi-
cans make peace at all, he would have disclosed
the whole war policy of Mr.. Polk.


In my humble Judgment, the most expe-
diuous and most certain mode of Terminating
J. the war is, by an overw helming force to sub
due the enemy and conquer their country. And
If the infatuated MexIcans will still resist a
paci6caiion upon equitable terms, no alterna
i've will be left but dispersion of their august
Congress, the subversion of their government,
and ihe complete establishment of the military
authority of the United States throughout the
conquered country. II Mexico will not make
peace upon satisfactory terms, why, then,
surely the war must continue; il the war does
continue, the invading armies Of the United
States must be defeated and routed or else
every portion of the blockaded and invaded
country OF the enemy must successfully yield
10 their irresistible and overwhelming advances.
In the present aspect and condition of affairs
II is loo palpable 10 be disguised, and therefore
IemphaticGlly repeat, thai il no peace is con-
cluded, the conquest of Mexico will be com
plete, or our army will be repulSed and van
quished. No American patriot can hesitate in
his expectations, in his hopes, or in his conf
dent belief as to the final event. And when
ample means are provided, sufficient appropri
atoms OF money, numerous and well appoint
ed army, adequate supplies of all kinds, and
abundance OF arms, munitions, missiles, and
every variety OF equipments and facilities, this
final event will be speedily and triumphantly
accomplished, or else prevented only by a
generous grant Of peace 10 a beseeehing enemy.
Honorable peace, or speedy conquest, should
be our motto''
