THE WAR POWERS OF THE CONSTITUTION

There is much reason to apprehend that those
injudicious Generals to extraordinary powers, y
because, as they say, We living in war times
and that the regular modes Of proceeding are not
adequate to the exigency, have really failed to un-
derstand how truly the Constitution provides for a
time of war. A Republican contemporary, the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser in replying to those
who would deny the existence Of the belligerent
prerogatives conferred by that instrument on Con-
gross and the President, says:
'Our Constitution. like the people for whom it was
made u.s. il is true, adapted TO state Of peace Our fa
thersts and intended that this would
be pre-emneny peaceful nation and accordingly they
made full and fair provisions for this national condition.
But they also knew full we'll not only by and by

that great instrument complete war code. They who
prepared aud composed it had too much soundness Of

But they did insert abundant and plain provisions for the
