VII. CAUSES OP THE MEXICAN WAR.
BY JESSE MACT. LL. TJ.
The Leaialann. PHrobMc.
In seeking for the causes of the Mexican
var one Is led hack istep by step to ttaa
flnst purchase- of territory by the United
State?. The Louisiana purchase of 1803
was understood to Include what afterward
became the State of Texas, though defi
nite boundaries could not be given, and
the whole matter always remained unset
tled and confused. This Immense tract of
land 1 lng almost wholly west of the illp
alaslppl had but recently come to France
Xrom Spain. Like all Spanish colonies,
It practiced slavery. An act of Congress
in 1S04 permitted Immigrants into the ter
ritory to take their slaves with them,
and when In 1S12 the first of the states to
be carved ouL of the vast domain came
In as Louisiana It came, as a matter of
course, with slavery well established.
The United States had long coveted the
norldas, and after haying on one pretext
or another taken possesion of "West F.o:I
da acquired East Florida by purchase
irom. Spain In 1S19. By the treaty which
settled this transaction the boundaries of
the Louisiana purchase were fixed anew
and this time excluded Texas. The coun
try .seems to have cared little then for
what was afterward recovered at such
bloody cost. Some dissatisfaction with th's
"alienation" of what had been considered
"United States property was expressed by
a Congressional resolution drawn by
Henry Clay, but the general satisfaction
In the acquisition of Florida prevented
any effective agitation of the matter.
The Missouri Cnmiiroralc.
Aoout this- time arose the excitement
over the application for the admteslon of
Missouri as a slave state. A bill admitting
the state was passed by the Senate, but
t as rejected by the House, and for jears
Missouri stood knocking in vain at the
door of the Union. It wag the question
of slavery In a new form. The "unspoken
agreement w hlch had been regarded from
the beginning to preserve the equilibrium
between the elaveholding and the free
sections of the Union seemed about to be
broken. The free states were gaining rap.
idly over the South in popu'atlon. and
since representation in the Lower House
of Congress was regulated by population
It was evident that 'they were likely to
control that House. In the Senate the
division of power was nearly equal, since
each state of whatever size or population
was represented by two members. But
A new slave state, with two more Sena
tots representing the slave pow er, wou d
disturb the balance. The dlfllcu'ty was
finally met, na wc have seen, by the com
ing in of Maine along with Missouri, to
gether with the adoption of the famous
Missouri compromise, which recognized
slavery in Missouri, but prohibited it. In
the Louisiana purchase north of the south
ern boundary of that state. 26 degrees 30
minutes N. The compromise also tacitly
permitted slavery south of that line. The
measure was conceived In the interest of
the South, and accepted as binding upon
the Nation by tooth Southern and North
ern Congressmen. . By the accepted Inter
pretation of the Constitution Congress had
no power to interfere with slavery In a
state; by the Missouri compromise it was
established that Congress had "power to
prohibit Elavery in a territory.
From this era dates as a permanent un
derlying political force a mutual sensitive
ness and Jealousy between North and
South respeltlng superiority in Federal
councils. Under the compromise this
spirit seemed to he quiescent for a time,
but it was only the surface" that was
calm. Mason and Dixon's line the boun
dary separating Pennsylvania from the
states to the south had long been ac
cepted as the dividing line between free
and slave territory east of the Miselas'ppl.
The great Northwest Territory, proline of
many powerful states, was dedicated to
freedom. If the South was to hold her
own she must be vigilant as to what laj
west of the father of waters. Arkansas
came In with slavery In 1S36. balanced o
free Michigan in 1S37. By the terms of the
Missouri compromise no further space re
mained for slaery expansion save a part
of Indian Tcrrltorj, while the possibilities
of freedom were bounded onI by the
Pacific Ocean.
A recent historian puts, the situation
after the adoption of the Missouri com
promise in these graphic words:
"The real mischiefs IsiShVihe Missouri
compromise engendered were these: The
strife for political power between slavery
and freedom which it sanctioned and per
petuated upon the broad National do-
main; the Insatiate appetite for foreign
acquisitions south of that line, whether by
war or purchase, which it whetted; and,
finally, by suffering an immense state
like Missouri, whose population near the
confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri
Rlers was sure to increase rapidly, to
be set above the geographical latitude; tne
license it gave to the woles of slavery
to ravage among the scattered free-soil
settlers over Its borders. Nevertheless,
this sectional compact was faithfully sus
tained for more than 30 years; it was
broken at length not by those who had
bound themselves to keep It, but by de
generate sons of slavery, by disciples of
the malignant John Randolph school, who
constantly stirred the South to believe
that slavery should accept no territorial
restraints at all," (Schouler, vol. IIL p.
172.)
The Texan Struggle.
The history of the Whig party previous
ly sketched Snvo'ied an outline of the
Texas" question. Some further details are
now needed
E-en before the adoption of the Mis
souri compromise covetous eyes looked
across the Sabine to the grassy and fer
tile plains of T?xas. Interpreting the
treaty with Franr to Include that prov
ince, citizens from the Southern states
soon began to make settlements therein
and in 1S12 a body of such "Invaders "
with he assistance of discontented resi
dents, attempted forcfblj to take over the
province and set up a new government.
Though the effort was pu. down tho de
termination to secure possession con
tinued to gain strength in the Southern
States. More extensive occupations of
Jk-r-y, " T r itr
I V .
gy" Jry,r
Texas lands were made and more formid
able Invasions carried out by American
citizens, -which were winked at by the
United States Government. Many never
consented to the yielding of t the right,
which they believed to be conveyed by
the treaty of 1803, to territory reaching to
the Rio Grande. To such objectors Presi
dent Monroe replied in a spirit of calm
and careful constderateness for sectional
Jealousies. The North tvas uneasy over
the addition to slave soil made by the
Florida purchase. The East was troubled
in view of the rapidly growing Importance
of the West. Anti-slavery feeling was
becoming keenly alive to the whole temper
of the Southern States, as shown In the
Missouri agitation. The peace-loving Chief,
Magistrate thought It wise to be content
with Florida and npt to press a claim to
Texas. Tho dissatisfied Southerners Wded
their time. After 1KB they had a friend
at court in the President himself. In
spite of the apparent acqulesence of Jack
son and Calhoun and their followers in
President Monroe's pacific pqllcy, they
never really abandoned their cherished
purpose. The forcible acquisition of Texas
was plotted long before its accomplish
ment. After 1S23 the province was c'almed
as part of the new and weak republic of
Mexico. Offers of purchase by the United
States (one of which Included the pur
chase of California) were rejected. Colo
nization from states still went on,
and Texas was secretly Incited to declare
independence of Mexico. In 1S29 Mexico
decreed the abolition of slavery through
out her borders. The act was ignored in
Texas, which had by that time a large
slave-holding population.
A Texas revolution was finally effected
In course of the years 1833-6, in which
Samuel Houston, of Tennessee, a friend
and fellow-soldier of Jackson, wras the
real leader, with the secret backing of
the President. Texas declared Independ
ence; American forces were sent Into the
territory on pretense of preventing an In
dian Invasion of the United States, and
Congress promptly voted to recognize the
new republic "whenever she had proved
herself capable of maintaining a compe
tent civil government," while Calhoun
urged the Immediate admission of Texas
as one of: the United States.
Mexico was deeply offended; her minis
ter called for his passports, and In defer
ence to Northern protests, the Presldont
withdrew the troops from Texan soil.
Only after years of delay was annexation
finally achieved. In tho manner we have
seen, at the close of Tyler's administra
tion. Calhoun was again pressing the
matter. Southerners professed alarm at
some humanitarian remnrks of the British
minister at Washington respecting sla
ery, and Calhoun declared that the United
States must annex Texas If she would not
see Great Britain take possession. Thus
the South hoped to restore and augment
her waning power in Congress. At least
four slave-holding: states might be carved
out of Texas, and eight Southern Senators
added to the forces of slavery at Wash
ington. Tyler's treaty of annexation was rejoct
ed by the Senate, but the determined
President, backed by the subtle Secre
tary of State from South Carolina, was
not to be balked. A treaty with a foreign
power -must have the approval of the
Senate, but a Joint resolution of Congress
may accomplish the same purpose with
out that requirement. Such a resolution
was passed by a close vote and sent at
once to Texas for her acceptance. In
the meantime the people of the United
States had declared at the polls for an
nexation by electing Polk, who had pub
licly pronounced in favor of the "imme
diate reannexation of Texas."
These tortucus and undiplomatic pro
ceedings naturally deepened the resent
ment of Mexico. She had already glen
official notice that the annexation of Tex
as (whose independence Mexico had never
recognized) would be treated as cause for
war. This was disregarded and differ
ences respecting boundaries were treated
by the United States In so grasping and
overbearing a manner that a military col
lision on the banks of the Rio Grande
upon soil claimed by both Mexico and
the United States was made the occasion
of lnflammatpry speeches In Congress over
the invasion of American territory and
the shedding of American blood. War
was then declared, and In spite of Whig
and Northern opposition to Texan annex
ation and to violent measures against
Mexico, the war once begun was gerf
erally popular and was heartily supported
by North and-Sonth. It -was an unbroken
series of military successes, which fur
ther increased Its popularity and fended
to cloak the dishonorable proceedings
which had led to it.
The Real Canoe.
The immediate cause of the Mexican
War may be said to be tho message of
"Polk the Mendacious" in May, 1S16, an
nouncing that "as war exists, and not
withstanding our efforts to avoid It, ex
ists by the act of Mexico herself, -we are
called upon by every consideration of duty
and patriotism to vindicate, with decision
and honor, the rights and the interests of
the country-" But the remoter and real
cause will appear, from our study, to lie
in the craving on the part of the slave
holding states for room hi which to de
velop their own peculiar Interests. It was
not solely perhaps not chiefly for the
sake of extending slavery that they

wished for more territory. Loving the
Union, Southern men sought political
power even as did Northern men. They
saw the 'North growing- by eapi and
bounds. Industrial development, Imxnl
gration. wealth and the power which they
implied passed by the more stagnant
Southern States to spread their blesslnga
through the North.' Hemmed in by the
restrictions of the Missouri compromise.
Southerners felt themselves forced to seek
an outlet by territorial expansion to the
Southwest. But even with Texas gained
the end had not come.

EAST SIDE POLITICS.
Three BIsr Meeting; in Prospect
Jlencsade Clafe Dissolving,
There are three Republican meetings
already announced this week for the East
Side. The main one "will be the big dem
onstration which will take place at Gomez
Hall. Russell street, Albina, tomorrow
evening. All the regular Republican
clubs of the East Side have united In this
effort, and It is certain to be a rouscr.
Last week the general comnfittec Issued
a special invitation on postal cards, -which
were sent through the malls by thou
sands. The arrangements for this rally are com-'
pleted. Wallace McCamant will deliver
the main address. The Southern Pacific
band will furnish music, and the Portland
University quartefwill sing. For the ac
commodation of West SIders who attend,
the Portland Railway Company will start
two large cars from First and Washing
ton street at 7:30 Tuesday evening. TJiese
cars will reach East Buroside street and
Union avenue at 7:S5, where East SIders
may be taken to Russell street and Union
avenue, from which place there is a short
walk down to the hall on Russell street
and Gantenbeln avenue. The City &
Suburban cars run within a few blocks
of the hall, either through Upper or Low
er Albina. By either line the hall can be
reached quickly. The committee desires
to push the programme right through -with
expedition, and not wear the audience out
by dragging.
May Vote a They Please.
Every jday some member of the rene
gade Rocsevelt Club, of the Eighth Ward,
pulls out. More are to follow. It should
be stated for the benefit of the railway
men that the Southern Pacific Company
Is not backing Edmunds In this move
ment, even If he is chief clerk of the
shops, and the officials have stated that
under no consideration will they allow
any employe to be coerced by him into
voting for Storey for Mayor, or for any
one else. The men will be permitted to
cast' their votes abpolutely without the
remotest apprehension. At the last Presi
dential election the statement was circu
lated that coercion was being used, but
Master Mechanic T. W. Tounger called
the men together before election day and
told them they should cast their votes
as they thought best, and not a man
should endanger his Job. At that time
there was the Sound Money Club, com
posed of shop men, but not all were mem
bers, nor did they all vote for sound
money. They voted their convictions then
as they will in the coming election. The
impression has got out that Edmunds has
some power to coerce the men to vote for
independents. Some of the shop men have
been making inquiries to ascertain the
facts, but to all such it may be said
that he has no such power, and that they
may vote as they please. Quite a num
ber, of these men Joined the Roosevelt
Club with the understanding that it was
a straight Republican club, but most of
them see that they have been deceived,
and are pulling out. Naturally there Is a
considerable Republican majority at tho
shops.
Friday TileliVi Demonstration.
There will .be a. g Republican demon
stration next .Friday ,nJgh,l In the Brook
lyn Republican Club's Acnt. on Beo.con.,
between .JEaet Tenth and- SJHwaukie
streets, under the auspices of the TJ. S.
Grant. Sellwood and Roosevelt Straight
Republican Clubs. On this occasion G.
W. Stapleton, a vigorous platform orator,
will address the people of the Eighth
Ward for the first time. The Oregon,
quartet will furnish music during the
evening, and there will be other addresses
by regular Republican candidates. The
tent Is comfortably seated and will ac
commodate a large crowd. Good order
will be maintained. "Women will be wel
come to the meeting. The Brooklyn Club
deserves much credit for Its enterprise In
setting up this tent so that the people of
the neighborhood may have opportunity
of hearing all 'sides of the political Issues
discussed.
Meeting: TbI Evening.
The regenerated Rooeevelt Straight Re
publican Club, of the Eighth Ward, will
meet this evening at Gruner's Hall, corner
East Seventh and East Stephens streets,
to complete lis organization. Quite a
number from the other club have al
ready signed the roll, and others are
coming In. At this meeting all the reg
ular Republican candidates are invited to
be present and encourage these stalwart
Republicans In the stand they have taken
for principle. It took considerable stam
ina to pull out of the other organization,
when they found that It would not prove
true to its constitution to promote Repub
lican principles, but they have done so.
About 35 have come out, and among- these
are men who were foremost In starting
the Roosevelt Club. They are men . of
principle.
East Side Forecast.
It can be seen that the East Side will
cast a much larger vote than at the last
election. In the Ninth Ward the vote
for Governor Geer was about 3D00, but
there are now registered over 2500. The
Republican majority two years ago was
over GOO. The Indications now are that
this will be exceeded for tho entire regu
lar Republican ticket. The Republicans
in the ward were never so united as at
present, and there aro many who believe
that Mr. Rowe will carry the ward by aa
high as S00 majority. If the increase in
population has been largely Republican,
the estimate may not be too large. Tho
entire regular ticket will not fall far
behind Mr. Rowe. although be may run
ahead in his own ward. In the Tenth
and Eleventh Wards the Republicans are
united, and it would be safe to say that
the regular Republican ticket will have
between 400 and 500 total majority from
these wards. In the Eighth, at tho last
election the majority for the Republican
ticket ranged from 50 to SOT. It is esti
mated that the regular Republican ticket
will carry the ward by an average ma
jority of about 200. For the past 15 years
there has always been a faction of some
sort In the Eighth. Last election there
was a complete mix-up on the Council
question; but there Is none of this now.
All are united on John Stoddard for the
Council. The only disaffection there is
confined to Edmunds' club. He said he
had about 400 members, which Is on a
par with all his declarations. From relia
ble sources it is learned the total mem
bership did 'not exceed at any time 1T0
members. Of these at least 40 have pulled
out. A number have drawn out who have
influence, and will pull. others out. But
there Is an element who will no doubt
remain and fight the regular Republican
ticket to the las. There has always been
this element in the ward, but there is
even less of it notv than last year. Tak
ing Into consideration all the emergen
cies, it Is reasonable to estimate that the
regular Republican ticket will carry the
four East Side wards by .majorities rang
ing from 1200 to 1500, and these may be
much greater.
