believed that in great emergencies the chlel
magistrate Of powerful republic. having 10 deal
with weak and distracted state, should rise
superior to mere technical forms, and the nice
ties Of truth and honor; but it strikes US that he
would have done better, proved himself even more
patriotic, and sufficiently prompt and energetic,
il he had confined himself to the ordinary rules
OF morality, and the we'll defined principles OF
international law. BY aspiring to rise above
these, and 10 appear original, he has placed his
country in false position, and debarred himself,
whatever the just causes OF war Mexico may
have given us, from leading one Of them in jus,
LITIGATION Of the actual war. We must be per.
mitted 10 regret that he did not reflect beforehand
that, If he placed the defence Of the war on the
ground that it already existed, and existed by the
act OF Mexico herself, and on that ground de.
manded Of Congress tho means Of prosecuting it,
he would. in case that ground proved TO be un.
tenable, as he must have known it would, have
nothing whatever to allege in its or his own jus.
LITIGATION. He should have been lawyer enough
TO have known that he could not plead anew,
after having failed on his first issue. It's often
hazardous in our pleadings to plead what is not
true, and in doing SO in the present case the
President has not only offended morality, which
he may regard as small matter, but has even
committed bunder.

CONTAGIOUS AND EPIDEMIC DISEAS-
ES.-Water must be adapted to the nature of the

come extinguished, as a lamp that is unsupplied

rage around US. True, we may have it, but it
