to our late civil war, and what are the
rights Of the conqueror and the obliga-
tons Of the conquered. The rule in
this: So far is 1t from being true that
the will of the conqueror is the law. OF
the conquered, hat all points Of doubt,
in as%certaining the terms Of the peace
as fixed before the surrender, are to be
construed against the conqueror.
SIN case of doubt, the Interpretation
goes against him who prescribed the
terms for as it was, in some measure,
dictated by him, it was his own fault if
he neglected to express himself more
clearly, and by extending Of restrict
ing the Specification of the expression
to that meaning which is least favora-
BILE to him, we either do him no injury,
or we only do that to which he has will
fully exposed himself; whereas, by
adopting a contrary mode of interpre-
%tation, we would incul the risk of con-
verting vague or ambiguous terms in
to SO many snares to entrap the weak
err party in the contact, who has been
obliged to subscribe to what the stron-
ger had dictated y aNei.
So we see, in all wars, the conqueror
must not only make known his terms
before his adversary's surrender is ac-
cepted, and"while his men and arms
are remaining" but he must make
known his terms distinctly, and if he
fails to be distinct, the injury shall re-
suit alone to the conquerOr, because a
contrary rule would entrap the weaker
party. What would become of the
wrecked party if the conqueror was not
only relieved from the duty Of making
known his terms beforehand, but was
allowed to prescribe terms according
to his own will after the peace was de-
clared! The very thought is horrible to
all honorable minds, whether of the
conqueror or the conquered.
Whether the late war was a rebellion,
a civil war, or a foreign war, the terms
of peace are not doubtful. They were
prescribed by the conqueror of the Uni
ted Ststes-most solemnly prescribed,
while the earns and men" of their ad-
versary "were remaining" They in
duccd thousands to lay down their arms
in advance; even to desert their colors.
They prevented the independence OF
the Confederate States by giving
strength to internal treachery, and now
to insist upon other terms, having no
law but the will of the conqueror as OK
pressed by q fragmentary conclave of
Congressional members, is to insist up
on a treachery which would shame the
t~yrannical conqueror of the unfortunate
Montezuma. 10 these terms of peace
the readers attention will be invited in
the next note.
