IChapicr orPoIitic:lI wonders.

Some one has quantity remarked, that
if Peace be now made, this will be the
frs, example of War begun '0ittOHt au-
Mority, and end Withom a4ttOrity! But
this is only part of the wonders, which
attend this most extraordinary Chapter
of History, Look at these, for examples;
|. The President makes War without
the authority of Law.
2. His Ambassador ends it without his
authority, or any authority.
8. The President of this country per-
mits the ablest General of the enemy to
take command, and fight as hard as pos
sibe.
4. The General of our forces. who con-
quered the enemy is arrested in the
midst of victories. and without offence, is
to be tried as criminal!
8. We propose to pay twenty millions
ofdollars for territory We have already
occupied. -,
6. We have the best lands in the world,
and we are exceedingly anxious to gel
| the worst!
7. We make War in the name of Lib
erty, anI We propose to establish slavery!
A series of contradictions, of 5lunders
and incredible Inconsistencies, like these
cannot, we believe, be paralleled by any
Administration in any country. Perhaps,
jif we hunt up the muSty records of some
King John, or Henry the 9th, we may
possible find a parallel.-But ceitainl.
