On learning that hostilities had been commenced by Mexico I promptly communicated that fact, accompanied with a succinct statement of our other causes of complaint against Mexico, to Congress, and that body, by the act of the 13th of May, 1846, declared that ""by the act of the Republic of Mexico a state of war exists between that Government and the United States.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
