Weekly national intelligencer. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1841-1869, 1848-01-01


" The true honor and dignity of the nation are in
" separable from justice. Pride and vanity alone
" demand the sacrifice. Though so dearly pur-
" chased the astonishing successes Of the American
" arms have at least put it in the power of the
" United States to grant any terms of peace with
" out mourning the imputaton Of being actuated by
" any. but the most elevated motives. 1t would
seem that the most proud and vain mist be satiat-
ed with glory, and that the most reckless and bel
/" lcose should be sufficiently glutted with human
" gore"
are, we know, some persons who think that this
war ought to be prosecuted until the Mexican ma
ton, humbed in the dust, shall confess itself con-
quered, and humby sue for peace.
Have these, our fellow-citizens, to whatever po-
itcal party they belong, ever seriously considered
for what object other than conquest for conquests
sake, this war is TO be further prosecuted, as re-
commended by the President, into the vitas Of
Mexico We will tell them. II is 10 Uindicafe
The consistency Of The President Of the United
States in affirming, in the first communication
which he ever addressed to Congress, that the
boundary of the United States had been peacefully
extended to the Del Norte, and, in connexion with
that declaration, in asserting TO Congress lin his
Message Of May III, lS46, informing them of the
mischief which he had brewed) that the war was
begun by the act Of Mexico. In making these as
sertons, and in repeating the latter Of them no less
than seventeen fines, in one form or other, in the
Message before us, is not at all necessary to
charge the President with Intentional falsehood.
Say that he has but labored under a mental deu-
sion, or misrepresentation Of facts, it is still no
less certain that the alleged facts upon which he
placed this at the outset were not facts that the
war, thus begun has been hitherto prosecuted upon
the same grounds, or upon other grounds which
have no sense in them and, if this war is to be
prosecuted until Mexico either surrsnders to us
all her coveted Provinces or we extinguish and

forbid should say SO in this, or, indeed, in any
good company
To return, however, TO the imperial tone Of this
Message. II can hardly have escaped the observa-
ton Of the intelligent reader that the President dis
courses to Congress as though, in regard to the
conduct of this war, the objects for which it is pro-
secuted and the terms upon which il shall be brought
to close, the Executive branch of the Government
The himsef) had the sole right to Judge what
is right and proper to- be done. We have heard,
indeed, in the Halls Of Congress, powers claimed
for the Executive quite as exceptionable such an
assumption would be in relation to
THE WAR POWER
We have heard it argued, for instance, by jealous
supporters of the Administration, that after de-
claraon or recognition Of war, the President being
COMMANDMENTS Chief of the Army, has an absolute
right to control the Military power; and that Con-
gress can check the exercise Of that power only by
Withholding supplies.
This is most unconstitutional and dangerous
doctrine. II has no foundation in the Constitution,
nor in the character Of our Institutions In this as
and deduce our arguments from the theory and ac-
ton of the British Government
In England the war power is vested in the Sow
ereign. On the great question of Peace or War,
Parliament can exercise no direct power The
Withholding of supplies, therefore, is necessarily
resorted to as the only means of controlling an
abuse Of the war power. But in this country that
power is very properly placed, by the Constitution,
in the Representatives of the People. Congress
alone have the right to declare war, to provide for
carryingt on by sea or land, in our own in for
eign countries, and to decide for what objects IL
shall be prosecuted.
The President is as much bound by acts Of Con-
gress in the discharge Of his functions as Com
mander-in-chef as he is bound. by the law in the

THIS figure represents the Iusen sbc Pcrspirat,on
which is continually evaporatug through the pores
OF tho skin, carrying with il all the out particles
OF the body, and all bad humors which NAV have been

This lnscDsble Precipitation is the great Evacuant Of

VALVE OF all the organs in the human body and when

All disease comes by or is connected with a check

then all the out matter of the body is shu, up
OF internal and external diseases produced. What

do more than any other medicine known to cure dis

Now let me ask every candid mind what course, in
the cure OF disease seems most reasonable Is il not
to open the pores that thereby the nscnsbc Pcrspira
