Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Calhoun, of South Carolina, on the Bill Making Further Appropriation to Bring the Existing War With Mexico to a Speedy and Honorable Conclusion, Called the Three Million Bill: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 9, 1847 The first and leading consition that ought to govern should be to select a line that would fully accomplish the objects to be effected in making the war avoiding the appearance, however, of taking any portion of the coun try on the mere principle of a war of conquest. But what may be required in reference to this consideration may be enlarged by the other considera tions he would now proceed to state. The first and most important of them is, that in selecting a defensive line, it should be such as to possess, in the greatest degree, such natural ad vantages as would require the stnallest sacrifice of men and money to defend it; and among others, such as would afford every facility for drawing prompt ly supplies of men and provisions from the adjoining country. The next cousi deration in making the selection is, that the country covered by it should be convenient and desirable for us to possess, if in the ultimate adjustment of the difference between us and Mexico, it should become the established boundary of the two countries. I go further, and add, that it should be such as would deprive Mexico in the smallest possible degree of her resources and her strength for, in aiming to do justice to ourselves in establishing the line, we ought, in my opinion, to inflict the least possible amount of injury on Mexico. I hold, indeed, that we ought to be just and liberal to her. Not only because she is our neighbor; not only because she is a sister repub lic not only because she is emulous now, in the midst of all her difficulties, and has ever been, to imitate our example by establishing a federal repub lic; not only because she is one of the two greatest powers on this conti nent of all the States that have grown out of the provinces formerly belong ing to Spain and Portugal; though these are high considerations, which every American ought to feel, and which every generous and sympathetic heart would feel, yet there are others which refer more immediately to ourselves. The course of policy which we ought to pursue in regard to Mexico is one of the greatest problems in our foreign relations. Our true policy, in my opinion, is not to weaken or humble her on the contrary, it is our interest to sees her strong, and respectable, and capable of sustaining all the relations that ought to exist between independent nations. I hold that there is a mysterious connection between the fate cf this country and that of Mexico, so much so, that her independence and - capability of sustaining herself are almost as essential to our prosperity, and the maintenance of our institutions as they are to hers. Mexico is to us the forbidden fruit; the penalty of eating it would be to subject our institutions to political death.

This bibliography differs from the previous publications in this series since it concerns a specific time in American history, the Mexican War period from 1835 to 1850. From a military standpoint, the victorious efforts of American military forces can be considered as the proving ground for the Army and the Navy that emerged during the Civil War. The annexation of Texas and the acquisition of lands from Mexico predestined both the expansion of the United States to the Pacific and the conflict which divided brother from brother. This bibliography lists pertinent materials to be found in the Military History Research Collection related to this part of American history and is not intended to be a definite listing of bibliographic references on the period.

This bibliography of the Mexican War holdings of the libraries at the University of Texas at Arlington is the product of more than forty years' collecting and research. As a result of his recognition that Texana collections would be incomplete without items from the period up to the ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo by Mexico in May, 1848, Jenkins Garrett began this bibliography in earnest in the 1950s, at a time when Mexican War items were not even listed as a separate category by collectors. Arranged by chapters according to topics or type of holding, the bibliography is designed to give extensive and accurate descriptive information of approximately 2,500 items of interest to scholars and collectors. Each entry thus includes full title page wording, edition information, collation, other library locations, and notes, though the bibliography is not annotated per se. Extensive appendixes present alternate methods of referencing documents and compilations of data that may prove helpful in studying the Mexican War.
