MIR. MADISON'S VIEW OF A CASUS
BELLI.-To those who are troubled about the
propriely of an act OF Congress recognizing war
with Mexico and preparing 10 meet it, We offer
the following precedent, (says the Union.) We
suppose no man will deny that the case OF Mexico
now is quite as bad as was the case OF Algiers in
1915:
Confidential Message Of Mr.. Madison, February
%, 1915.
ITO The Senate
"and House of Representatives. eftie L. S.
Congress will have SEEM by the communica-
ton Of the consulgeneral of the United States al
Algiers, laid before them on the 7lh OF Novem-
Der, 1912, the hostile proceedings Of the Dey
against that iunclionary These have been FOL.
lowed by acts of more overt and direct warfare
against the citizens of The United States trading
in the Mediterranean, some of whom are still
detained in captivity, notwithstanding the attempts
which have been made TO ransom them, and are
treated with the rigor usual on the coast of Bar
barry.
"The considerations which rendered il un-
necessary and unimPortant to commence hos
lille preparationS on The part OF the United
States being now terminated by the peace with
Great Britain, which opens The prospect OF
an active and valuable trade of their citizens
within The range OF the Algerinc cruisers, |
recommend 10 Congress the expediency Of an act
declaring the existence o. a state OF war between
the United States and The Dey and regency OF
Algiers, and Of such provisions may be requi-
site for vigorous prosecution Of il to- success
