Mr Douglass liiumed thai the annexation was Vi; Rftett not this as any thing, provinces were not were ihe laws of the United States orer them, and they could not be, and without treaty. 'V jchenck tegardrd this as a very loose and way of treating to impoitant a subject, doctrine was put forth in the and an extraordinary state ol facta. It "'Claimed that the Texas annexed by the United embraced ail the country East of the Hio This was what Texas claimed. How fllncoold General Kearney include a portion of -un'rv in an independent Mexican pro- ami appoint a Governor over it. The genVU ol South Caiolina seemed to think all this but the joke bad been carried too far, a serious fact.

Mr. Schenck here entered upon a pungent re, jw of Captain Stockton's Proclamation, and aatxJfd to know if such a paper had been sanc" 3fd the President. Winihropdrewan omen of good from this and he trusted it was a guarantee ol The President in his message, made it but than treason to speak aloud or to think jdot the Extcutive, and the manner in which h- us carried on a war. He even refers to awe men commenting upon hio 'ubli'c That was liberty where free ru men 'iare to speak of the administration of cerumen: according to their own judgments. Mr.

W. concurred with the member from S. I C. no conqueror had a right to establish a government in a conquered province, 3 me Pitsidtnt held some peculiar notions ail matters connected with the wjr. Mr.

Winthrop, indeed, appeared to the whole message as lit: year we were congratulated upon a bloodies achievement," and this year upon the extends ol our arms over a conquered Province. Tne President assumed in his message that conquered Provinces were in our country, ijt meant to annex them by treaty or without but be trusted that Congress would have to say of so grave a matter as this, upon the Presiden's demand to us that if erect fortifications in loreign countries. called upon Congress to assert its right to require the Executive to make known his If he could not do this in public session, do it in secret. Mr. Holmes of S.

C. rebnked bis colleague for which he claimed for the conqueror. If a Jocirine had ever been assumed by the law nations, it was superseded by the law Chrislianity. The President could not have endorsed Proclamation of Capt. Stockton.

It was impossible 'hat he could have done so with any know, ifis' ot law of naiions. The Proclamation of t'spi. oiocKton ije could npt apd he regarrfe.i the act itself as a high assumption ot power.
