Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Miller of New Jersey, on the Mexican War, and the Mode of Bringing It to a Speedy and Honorable Conclusion: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 2, 1847No sir, all these devices of bloodless conquests have passed away, like the dreams of the night. We are now waking up, to the realities of the war. Its burdens are beginning to be' felt, its calamities are falling thick and heavy, already is your treasury exhausted, already have thousands of your patriotic soldiers fallen either by the sword or dis ease and the sick and the wounded are daily returning to remind us of the desolations of war.Now comes urgent calls for more troops and for money to pay them. The treasury is empty, new loans must be resorted to. The national debt is accumulating to a fearful' amount. New and heavy taxes must be laid, or your national credit will be crushed beneath the burdens of this war.If this war he continued for another year, it will require all the power and energy of this nation to be exerted to their full extent, in order to conduct it with vigor and success.We have already authorized the President to receive into the service fifty thousand volunteers We have increased our regular army to twenty-seven thousand men.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
