This great and glorious victory was soon fol lowed by others no less important, achieved by the army under the illustrious commander Lieu tenant General Scott, thereby adding to our national fame, both at home and abroad, and forcing the enemy to conclude an honorable peace, which I trust will be a lasting one be tween the two Republics. (applause) By this treaty, which was concluded on the 2d Feb.,1848, at Guadaloupe, New Mexico and California were added to our country, which may justly be claimed as having been acquired through the foresight and wisdom of the Demo cratic party, in Opposition to, and against the wishes of our political Opponents, thereby adding to our country one of its most valuable portions.
