FRfDxY, NOVEMBER 9.

world are shortly TO come to an end For
the accomplishment of this ways and means
have been devised by the Aurora. Every
nation is to send one or more representa-
tives 10 general Congress of all nations.
BY this Congress all disputes are to be de-
cided. II any nation refuse obedience,
every other is to compel it. The Aurora
very modestly requests "the editors of pa
pers in Europe and America" to copy his
system. But the Aurora ought not to claim
the merit of original invention. This sys-
tenn has been twice before, many years ago,
recommended 10 the world once, if we
mistake not, by Doctor Fothergill. We
think it would be less expensive and quite
as feasible, for Mr.. Duane to recommend
himself as the sole grand arbitrator Of ma
tional disputes.
AT the September term, Judge Toulman,
Of Washington county (Mis. Ter.) deliver
ed an address to the Grand Jury, in which
he ably azd fully discussed the question of
taking possession of West Florida; which
plan had been agitased and partly agreed
upon by some of the citizens Of that Terri
tory.
1t would be an act of war, which is con.
trary to the constitution that instrument
giving the sole power Of declaring war to
Congress:
1t IS contrary to an express law Of Con-
gress, 1894, which forbids the " beginning,
setting on foot. providing or preparing any
military expedition or enterprise against the
dominions of anysforeign prince or state.
Tho Florida by the Louisiana conysn-
ton, was coded to US as far as the river
Perdido, Tie inhabitants Of the Mississippi
Territory are not the people of the Ua!tcd
States nor Congress. The President him
self, theg Judge declares, without the con-
sent of Congress, cannot take possession,
This we doubt.
The expectation that government would
wink at or pardon the enterprise, will no:
Justify the undertaking.
A this is very well, but we imagine the
principal hindsance to our taking possession
of West Florida is the Presidents love or
fear Of Bonaparte. If king Joseph's claim
were GU: of the question the case would be
different. IF the President thinks hmse elf
unauthorized to act, he ought to recommend
the subject 70 Congress. a law passed
many years ago establishing custom house
at the Mobile since which we have con-
sran,ly been paying duties to the Spanish.
Had we SO purchased of England, the re-
,ention of Florida would have been made
subject for war. We should have taken
possession Of it long ere this. What visi-
bic and stupendous Partially.
The last Intellgcncer gives us "Cornu.
copia" No. VII. The certainty of reduc
ing Great Britain to our terms by non-in-
tercourse is still warmly urged. He adj
verts to the embargo laid for 60 days in
1894 by Gen. Washington, and the adjust
inert of our difficulties with England by
Jays treaty. Unfortunate reference.
Had our present rulers been then in Of
fee no adjustment would have been made.
There zVds then sincere desire to come TO
an adjustment. Mr.. Madison's resolutions
were rejected. Those who are now in
power were violently opposed to this ad

sist OF gun boats, nor Our energy IN scolo'
ing resolutions of Congress. Our adml-
nistration refined its head in no French lap
of Delilah. Embargo and non.lntarcourse
effected no accommodation in "a nor in
'98.
In 1907, says Cornucopia, We laid ar,
embargo: had j, been kept on, or the non.
intercourse strictly adhered to, /" there is
no doubt bu. that we should, at this day,
have had our differences settled with Eng
land
IF the embargo had continued We have
no doubt but that at this day we should
have direct taxes instead Of paying inter-
est for s,75O,ooo dollars, we should pay
for ten or fifteen millions, general bankrupt-
cy and distress, discomfort and perhaps
high civil dissentions among the northern
and southern legislatures, tending to disu-
Mon. Had the non intercourse continued,
it would have been, as it ever will be, if so
unnecessarily laid, mostly nominal snug
Cling and evasion of the law would be re.
duced to system and be reputable. We're
peat our opinion that let the consequence be
what it may no non-intercourse law will be
obeyed when the majority Of the CONNER
cial interest of the nation is opposed to it.
The democrats viii be the first to disobey
it.
Cornucopia b-eathes shorter in last No.
we hope his vapors are nearly exhausted.
Some one in the Philadelphia D emocrat-
ic Press has been attacking Mr.. Walsh 70,
