| Question for the wings.
The Wings everywhere say thai The is both an just
and unconstitutional How then they conseiennousy
vote supplies TO carry on1 Here Is question should
Ike 10 see answered Mr. Polk began the his
hook-Consress subsequently voted men and money TO
sustain ON army against the danger IN which tile Prcsicp
placed them, but did not deciH, against Mexico; IL
only repeated what Mr. Polk siidthat II existed" II

Ariel is wrong. The Wings everywhere say no
such thing Of the war Morally speaking, they, MS
well as every in the nation, consider all to
be nJust-whch it is, by the force of the term.
But legally speaking, il is just war; because il was
| recognized by the war-nakng power, and because
power is given by the act 10 the Government TO
bring II to speedy and successful termination"
That 1t was unconstitutionally brought about, Is
Wing doctrine: but it is not Wing doctrine that II
is unconstitutional now, for it has the sanction of
the law-making power As TO the power of Con-
gress to bring the war 10 a close, il is undenable.
We earnestly hope that ii will bring it to close by
proper means-means that will not rovulse the popu-
lar sentiment
GIVING WAv.-The New Hampshire Democracy
has moderated very much its ferocty upon the Viii
mot proviso. In its recent State Convention it de-
cared that II would oppose, tooth and nail, the
tension oil slavery in any new territory to be acqul
red by the United States; but il further declared that
its opposition should he Hconsistent with tho Com
sttution and its compromises" In other words, it
occupies tho same position as that held by the Wings
