The Washington " Union" saws !:


The main, indeed the only principle in it (Gen. TAr
LoRs p om) is this That the President ought to follow
in the wake of Congress that he ought register hes
edicts."
Admitting this to be so, is it not better that he
should register its edicts than that Congress should
register his 7 He is but one man, and elected for
four years-Congress is composed of nearly three
hundred-coming from every section of the Union,
and elected every two years. If one or the other
must register the edics of the other, it seems to us
that it would be little more Republican, De-
mocratic, for the immediate Representatives Of The
People to govern, than for man. far removed from
them and almost irresponsible. But we are aware
that the sefstyled Democrats have different no
ton. Ever since General Jackson's time, it has
been cardinal doctrine with them, that one man
can govern better than the People or their Repre-
sentatives. We see the practical results Of this
doctrine in the late war with Mexico-which the
President originated. We shall seit before We have
paid the debt and settled the perplexing questions
which that war has created.-Richmond Whig-

kings do if their people choose to gainsay IL
But great as is their crime, their folly, every where
when they permit needless wars, that folly and
that crime of course greatest in the citizens Of
free, popular government, who, happy themselves
can have no excuse for going abroad TO distress
others; and, free themselves, should know how
dreadful the offence when they strike at the inde-
pendence of other nations.
OF all Republics war is the bane. II stops an
arts but those of destruction, all industry buA
that Of death. The husbandman quits his own
happy field to ravage foreign one, or perhaps ma
nure it with his blood. Public works are suspend
ed; all private improvement ceases trade de-
clines; the laws must learn to be silent; morals
are forgotten; religion hides her face. The whole
of people must cease benefting themselves OK
Others and apply the entire public force to injuring
another nation. Meantime, while profitable industry
has lessened, taxes have grown; yet, grow as they
may, they fail to leave long arrear Of debs.

awlessness and that horrid taste for human blood
which nations, like wolves, contract when once
they have Tapped it. Let any man consider Of all
this and then, figuring to himself all this deepened
and deepcned, by after wal, conquest after con-
quest, into wide habit and rage Of national n
pine and slaughter, let him, if he can, think coolly
of an American statesman who preach TO ns
this detestable career as that which we must run,
and can strive to prepare the hearts Of our people,
for this execrable policy.
Really, such ideas as Mr.. Polk acts upon, and
Gen. CAss applauds and expounds. carry one not
only out of the range Of Christianity, but Of almost
any religion, except that of the old Norse-men

hence, in the Had, Jove never addresses Mars, nor
is he looked upon by the other gods, except with
antpathy. For instance, on some occasion when
this whole-or-none hero of the sky has come
home worsted from some quarrel, the Thunderes
answers him as follows

War is game at which, we re subjects wise,
Kings would not play.


This thought however just was by no means
original one for in all ages the truth was plain
that kings and the great only are the gamers by
wars and that the more successful they are the
more do they ruin the mere people, whose sub
stance and whose lives they waste only to enslave
them. Such is, TO the body of nation, the sole
consummation of successful enterprises against
their fellows so much havoc as they allow their
Government to commit upon the wealth or lives of
other communities, so much do they fling away Of
their own; and, just so far as they lend their
strength to ambitious rulers to subugate other
countries Just so far do they arm those conquer
ing rulers with power TO be the scourge Of their
own freedom. II is an unfailing retribution, which
the Almighty himself has appointed the plague
which he sends to punish, not princes or presi-
dents, but the still guiler populace, who, instead
of sympathizng with those Of their own condition,
on whom every where falls the weight of war and
its woes have wickedy lent their strength to afiict
and enslave their innocent fellow-men, the poor in
hab,ants Of some weaker country. Then it is that,
making war itself, and the slavery which il draws
after il, His vengeance He turns to His instruments
and executioners the bad kings or magistrates
whom criminal people have armed for the wanion
obstruction Of humankind. Il is the people who
