THE UNION.


The National lnteligencer of the 10th instant quotes
the following extract from recent despatch from the
Navy Department to Commodore Perry, the evidence
OF "ASorHER PRESIDENTIAL WAR THREATENED"
while the United States engaged in with
Mexico, the actual presence, without CONSENT OF the
armed force OF neutral power within the territory OF
enemy, cooperating with any portion of the Mexican PEG
pie In military operations, teven assisting the Yucaanese
TO resist the Indians, suppose cannot be permitted
Such state of things is hoped, will occur. If you
should have believe that il will, you will commu
nicate 1t without further delay that THE PRESIDENT
may take such HIS constitutional duty loiH
qaire at has hands
The words in brackets not in the despatch, but
are ingeniousy inserted a running commentary by the
patriotic editors OF the Integencer-ol course without
any disposition TO mslead We had supposed that an
instruction strictly conforming TO the constitution
could not have been perverted, by the ingenuity of
the Integencer. But determined are certain poll
ticans to destroy the Executive authority especially
while in the hands Of democrat, that the editors
to be alarmed at the intmaon OF intention by the
President to discharge his constitutional duty. We have
never seen more lame and impoent conclusion. The
wicked design involve the country in another war;
without the consent of Congress, gravey inferred
''obvious INTENT" from the fact that naval com
mander is directed not hostilides in
tam event. out 10 communicate the IactS nal the fTesl
dent may perform his constitutional duty The consu
ton gives to Congress the power to declare war ergo,
say the editors of the ntegencer, when the President
speaks of his duty under that instrument the intent is
obvious to commence another without the consent
of Congress. AS Commodore Perry by the Instructions
is not to act with his squadron, suppose the President
is to fight the nert tDar in person
As specimen of logic, the article in the lntegencer
is without precedent, unless be that the with
Mexico commenced by her act and formally declared by
Congress- according the constitution, is still gravely
claimed by the same persons TO be presidential war;
without the consent of Congress. Can blind party zeal
go beyond this in folly or extravaganza
