he has done in consequence and asks Tor appF0P''a
tious to cover the expenses attendant thereupon
The discussion brought on by this message IN 'he
House OF Representatives indicates Inueh more
like spirit and tone than prepared Tor IN
ores. and Il is evident that this predisPosiot may ~
f.n,ad into hestie determination by ue sisn'esl u
,mo..rces No,w thstanding the assurances oil seSeia
;.a,a.,;.l rosobers we hold that the maintenance Of
peace uninterrupted depends upon very haIaaous ~"
tngenees and that hostile demonstrations on Tue Pd'o
The Exees,iye would be responded to by

his position at almost any risk would seem 10 DC MS M

hl;c mind seems 10 he participated in to greater de-
area than we expected in Congress; and we doaot
bbar General Scots mission will have any other Ell
feet than TO bring him into collision with our own Peo
ple or with the armed array the opposite sac. we
perceive one very prudent precauuon IN the 5ecre'a
rvs instructions to General Scott. That tuncuonary
says:
MI; norant that the troops called into the service
which the late violation Of territory has created
and YOU will therefore impress upon the Uovernors OF
these border States the proprey OF seiectns tlooPs
from portion Of the State distant from The theatre Oh
action"
The same document contains very singular revela-
lion Of the nsufciency Of laws enforce the obii-
,ations of the treaties into and proves that
General Scott is sent upon FOOLS errand, and that ne
will have TO prevent measures which the laws 90 not
forbid Instead of being armed enorcer OF our urea
ties he is invested with the character OF mediator ana
10 bring about by advice and influence what ne mas no
power or authority TO bring about otherwise. Inc
Secretary writes that,
" The Executive possesses no legal authority TO EN-
poy the military force restrain persons within eur a
risdicton and who ought be under our control from
violating the laws by making incursIons into the terri
tory of neighboring and friendly nations, with hostile
intent I can give you. therefore, no Instructions on
that subject; but request that you WIN as your ina
