Army and Navy, in addition to the immense
power which be Yields ss the dispenser Of Office
and spoils, and with an army Of ofice-holders,
odace-ssskers, and expscsants as his beck and |
ned, hs now medestly asks Congress to place
the war.making power in his hands, backed BY
an appropriation Of thirty millions Of dollars to
be used ct his discrstiopl The excuse for all |
this 10 the false assertion that a. at present con-
stituted the Executive has not the power to |
across the Isthmus, and keep open the Transit
route to our Pacific possessions. The real object |
In view is to make James Buchanan as essen
TALLY and really monarch in every thing but
the name, as Napoleon now is in France-to
enable him to seize Cuba or Central America,
or take slice Of Mexico. Had Congress grant
cd the request the Nation and its destinies
would have been in his hands. He could and
very probably would have involved US in war,
and the blood and treasure Of the People would
have been poured out just as in European mon.
arches, to further the ambitious schemes of one
man, none too hopest or pure at the best and
now in his dotage.
When We find it necessary, in order to defend
our jus. rights, to 60 to war with neghboring
powers, let that act be one of the nation. Let
It be resolved on by the Representatives Of the
People in Congress assembled a. contemplated
BY our Consultation, and not the act of one man.
When Republican institutions fal-when the
people of this country prove themselves unwor-
ny Of the elective franchise-incapable of self
governmont-then it will be time to rear upon
he ruins Of the Republic monarchy such az
