A war of extermination at the outset of the struggle be-
ing the motto of Mexico, the dreds of her chiettains prove
how true it was to have been carried on, and to what an
extent their treachery has done away with all rules of
warfare; and yet Texians have never forgotten their ori-
gin,, nor polluted a victory with the stain of a sacrificial
offering u
on the pinions of lame to an astonished world, they knew
not which most to admire; the generous forbearance and

And now the picture brightens in its coloring as the
daring achievement of the Heroes of San Jac into,* enlivens
and sustains the memory in the recollection of past deeds
e and generosity. There, on that for-famed field, a Dictator
General and his stat, and five hundred minions of Dicta-
tonal will? red dripping and reeking in the blood of the
defenders of Goliad and Alamo, thegdestroyers of our
peace and prosperity—the ravagers of qur homes, and the
polluters of our fire side altars, were spared the death
they so richly merited. Then, at that very, moment when
the Mexican sued and received that quarter on the batle
field which a Texian cannot refuse, our aged fathers and
mothers and our sisters were compelled to wade through
mire and bog, to for*
turn to that which had been a home, but now was a heap
of ashes.
Mighty nations beheld the unequal contest believing
that Texas couid not, stand the shock of Mexican power,
but when the eventful day of San Jacinto was borne forth
-
reciprocity of guaranty evinced on the
i steady forbearance has been the light by
which Texians have been governed thus far through the
gloom of seven years war. That forbearance which par-
takes of a loftier spirit than the mere indulgence of a |
blood thirsty pussion; and a virtue, that loses not but
brightens by the wearing. It is the test stone of National
refinement and gives to the worshipper, a superiority of
claim over a nation that disobeys the precepts, of light
truth, and knowledge. *.
Truth unvarnished reigns over the minds of the intelli-
; gent and the reflecting, and no requisition has been made ;
against her precepts in delineating the marked difference ;
between the deeds of the two contending powers.

character in its true light A scene which would put to
the blush the savages of the wild woods, and one which
is far below the lowest impulse of nature’s bloodiest feel-

posed in them, as a nation by surrounding powers. The
unfeeling brutality evinced by the Mexicans on that occa-

erties in their primitive purity against a nation, which by
outrage, indignity, and treachery (under the avowal of
obedience to civilized customs) has evinced to the world it
want of reepeet for principle, the deepest degradation of
immorality, a cold blooded system of murder in war, an
absolute disregard for the laws of humanity, no national
honor, and a tacit avowal of a settled determination to in-

wards a foe who will not be governed by any rule but
treachery, will, by making that foe feel the biuerness of
his own sting, bring him to a full scene ofthe position he
occupies, and it will also have a powerful tendency to in-
fluence a speedy as well as a happy conclusion of the
pending difficulty.
The recital ofthe crimes perpetrated by the Mexicans,
stirs the blood of the Texian with an impetuosity of fiery
feeling, wnich alone can be allayed by the soothing reflec-
tion that we battle for freedom, and that our forefathers
have taught us to betrue in war but merciful in affliction; i

N at ions I gratitude between hostile powers is a staff of
such a brittle nature, that they who repose and trust to its
strength, must expect to be deceived; particalarly when
the party in whom you confide is known to besavage, rest-
leas,‛demibarbarian, and stained with the foulest blots as
a nation that ever disgraced the page of history or the an-
nals of the human race.
Nor can the pen be silent in the enumeration of the
catalogue of Mexican crimes, until the just tribute is paid
to the memory of tbe Fayette bend. Here again Mexican
barbarity could not withhold from developing the innate
savage brutality of her soldiers, (even when mercy wss
asked by the offer of a surrender,) not contented with nt’
tory through an overwhelming superiority of numbers--
their demoniacspirit revelled in bloody joy, while a ruth-
, less soldiery did the work of death.
Pause, render, and reflect for a moment the illimitable
space brtween the enlightened votaries of the temple of
freedom, and the grovelling sons of ignorance. Hear the
vorejofthe vanquished pleading for mercy, and the m-

speaking io language like "the still small voice from
Heaven," the fate of those prisoners would have been death
by the mine or some other equally appalling.
In closing the brief recital of the inhuman treatment re-
ceive by the Santa Fe Prisoners, after they had been
dragged to Mexico and were released, the elemiency shown
to them appears to have been more in honor of the births
day of the head of the nation, than in obedience to request
or to the rules of war, or regard for the past favors which
had been so nobly lavished upon him. Mexican imbe-
cility exulted io the capture of that band, as though it bad
been tbe result of a well-fought battle; and bad that peo-
ple evinced tbe least spark of national generosity, and
permitted the prisoners to return from Santa F, it would
only have been a mile of gratitude in return for the for-
benrance extended at San Jacinto
