What effect these disclosures of the ambitious
views of the Executive, prosecuted without regard
either to the National Welfare or the Will of the
People, may have upon the Mercantile and Mari
time interests of the seaboard, which have hitherto
shown an alarming insensibty'to successive usur-
pations of power by that branch of our Govern
ment, we know not. But we have the satisfaction
of believing that the Press and the People in the in
terror, North, East, West, and South, do read and
understand; wide awake to the change that is
going in this Government from Republic in form
to Monarchy in fact and will in due time admins
ter an effective remedy, the mode prescribed by the
Constitution itself We are strong in the faith that
if we live to see the next Presidential Election, we
shall have the satisfaction of welcoming at the Ca
ptol President to whom the Constitution will be
the measure of his power and the Law his rule of
conduct; and who will repair, as far as in him lies,
the breaches in both which his immediate predeces-
sor will have made.


If we not sustained by this hope and ex-
pectation, we should indeed, begin to entertain Sc
rious apprehensions for the duration of our Repub
lcan Government, even in form. Upon what prn-
ciples it was founded and has been hitherto admin
istered, we have briefly shown in the preceding
part of this article. To what complexion it has
already come, we have seen in the review which
we have made of the incongruous pretences under
which the present war was undertaken, and has
been hitherto prosecuted and of the new ground CO.
extensive with the Continent of America, which is
now declared to be the foundation of the war. The
Executive has gone on, alleging one cause after
another for the invasion of Mexico, until at last it
has avowed one, which is not only repugnant to
the whole scheme. policy, and history of this Gov





jealousy Of every nation Of this Continent, weaken
our hold upon the respect and confidence of the
civilized world, acquired by the just and wise for
eign policy, coeval with the Constitution, Of neu-
traity and non-intervenlion. For the loss OF that
confidence and that respect, no territorial aggran-
dizement, the result of opposite policy, could in
any degree compensate US.


Already, by no fault of the General Government but
through the indscreton of several individual States
the United States have lost, in the eyes of Europe,
much Of the respect which they have heretofore
enjoyed. "The commercial and financial delin-
quencies of some of the Sates,' says an intelli-
gent American traveller, !" have created universal
Z impression throughout Europe, of utter want of
faith, honor, and integrity the part of the whole
nation II is the most difficult thing in the world
to make these people understand the complex
movement of the Federal and State Governments,
&c. 1t is impossible to make them understand
: it; the General Government appears to them re-
sponsibe for the State insolvencies." If we have
lost much of the esteem of the people of the
several States of Europe through the breaches Of

paraon for the active and determined
