Manifest Destiny and the War with Mexico

The link below is of Polk's war message to Congress.
After reading the message answer the following:

What reasons does Polk give for going to war?

Does he mention Manifest Destiny? Where?

Judging by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, were the causes of the war rectified?
