Speculation is afioat as to the occupancy of
the FioTidas by the American troops One
party contends that il is an unauthorized act
although II were done by order of the president
OF the Csited States. The other asserts thar
tHc safety of the lives of pedceable citizens.
and the preservation of psace upon our from
tiers justified the act, and that expectancy in
such extreme case should SupeTsede all forms
of grave legislation. The first party has adj
Nancod sound doctrine, provided there should
not have been a decialdtiO of war but the
reasoning OF the latter party, although founded
upon circumstances, cannot be support ed upon
sound principles of Justice. Our happy gov.
ernmeut, Is government OF laws and every
American citizen must know, that tie president
of the U. =. cannot do more, (with0ut trans
cendiDg his civil power Tran To see to the ex.
ecuslOn OF the laws-henCe il Will appear TO ey.
cry rational mind that without special act of
congress, or as before mentioned, a declaration
of war, the United States cannot exercise by
order of the president, aay civil or military
jurisdiction over foreign country.
III Is true that the Spanish government has
tailed 10 enforce that part OF the treaty which
related 10 Indians within their jurisdiction, and
which our safety required should have been
done :....it iS also true that we entered their
territory in consequence Of the infTactiOn of
that treaty, aud that We have occnpied certain
military posts as security against re petition
of Indian cruelties but with these truths be-
fore us, we do not hesitate to say, that this mi.
litary occupancy, without special act Of con
gress, authoiisiug it, and investing the presi.
dent with power to hold the country, does moi
give any person the right to exercise any civil
authority over it. Florida therefore cannot be
viewed by judicial or executive authority, in
any other light than as 1t stood previously to
the occupancy.
