mentioned, we also find it a very effectual remedy . in
ASTIIMA, a complaint in which it has been extensive
ly used with decided 'success, even In cases of years
standing.'
It, not only emanates from a regular Physician; hut
has also been'well tested in all the complaints for
which it is recommended. It Is not my intentior,
iherefore,seither to cloak it in mystery, or in silk was
.deceive the public by overrating its virtues; on ,the
contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a brief stale
ment of its usefulness', and' flatter myself that its cur
'prising etliency will enable me to furnish such moors
of its virtues as will satisfy the most incredulous, that
Consumption May and 'CAN BE CUI\ED,' if this inedi.
tine be resorted to in time.

THE.•TESTIMONY OF A DEMOCRAT AGAINST
• •..^ . THE WAR WITH MEXICO.
In Brownson's LA met i can Quarterly . Review fOr
themontlf, of July, 1847,the•editor appears to haVe
conclusively proved that the 'wit.' with Mexico is
_"uncalled for, impolitic, and unjust" Mr. Brown
son-is known to %yield, a powerful pen ;he has
been for many years Considered•lis no mean cham
pion of Democracy; in support of which he ' ob
tained considerable celebrity While editor of the
"Democratic 'Review." He is 'still( the -political
friend of the President, and an adherent of the
party: by•whom he was elected. It was, there
fore, certainly not to-be expected that such a man,
in such a position, droUld so completely demolish
every argument advanced by Mr. Polk and his
friends ,in support of- Op, present war, asi Mr.
Brownson has dune. He has thus, voluntarily,
rendered a service to truths, fur which the berm
crate will never forgive him. • But we will allow
him to speak for himself: ~
"For ourselves, we have regarded the Mexican
war from the first as uncalled fur, impolitic, and
unjust:'. Wo have examined the documents pub
bitted by order of the government; we have read
the official defence of the war in the, last annual
Message of the President to Congress, and f with
every disposition' to find 'our own government in
the right; but we are bound to say, that-our mi..
ginal impressions have' been strengthened rather
than weakened. The President. undmibtedly,
makcs it clear that be had many just causes of
complaint againet Mexico, which at the time of
their* . occurreece might have justified reprisals,
perhaps even war,--but be cannot plead 'these in
justification of the present wet; fur they weril nut
the greund en which we professed io engage in it.'
The Official' announcement• of the - President' to
Congress was that war already existed.' between
the two republics, by the act of Mexico herself,
and whatever use we may make of old grievances
in adjusting the terms of-peace, we can make no
•use of them in defending the war. We can Wesd
in its defence only the fact on which we grounded
it, namely, war exists by the act of Mexico her
self. But unappily, at the time of the official
announcement, war ; Aiiil not exist between the
two republics at all; for neither republic had de
clared
war against the-other. There had been ' a
collision of their forces, bat 'this-was note war, as
'the President would Vrobably, have conceded, had
he known of recollected the distinction between
war and hostilities. ' By 'placing . the',vvar on the
ground that it existed - by the ackofl'Mexico; and
that ground being raise, he has Pert it wholly in
defensible,-whatever the old gribtrances we may
~,i s
have to allege against Mexico. '
"Theiact of Mexico inossing - the Rio
Grande, ttnd engaging our oops on territory
which she-had possessed and still claimed as hers,
but Which we asserted had, by a recent act
against•which she ;had protested, become outs,—
the act which. the President chose to inforni Con
gress.and the world was war—may or may nut
have been a just cause.fur declaring, war against
her, but it assuredly was not war' itself. 'We have .
no intention to justify Mexico. ' She may have
been decidedly in the wrong;- she May have had
no valid title to
. the.territory of which the .Presi.
bad just taken military occupation; that ter
ritory may have been rightfully ours, and it may
even have been the duty of the President to 'occu
py and defend it; but it cannot he denied that
she had once possessed it; that it r wai kill a part
of one,of her statea or provinceit - that she still
claimed it, and bad continued to exercise jurisdic
tion over it, till:driien from it by our army of oc
cupation; that she invaded it withmiarmed force,
if invasion it -can-be called, not as territory be
hanging to Mr, but•nrcterrituty-belonging to. - hei,;'
and that she attack. 4 our troops, not_ for the tan.
son that they were ours, but for the reason,' as
she held,--and shelled as good a right to he jailge . '

, 's•Thry Presidentmay have been goveined by pa

and energetic action was, reluired; he may have
bfliei4d that in great emergencies thechief magis

and 'auflielantly 'prompt •and energetic, if be bed`
coaaned• hircarelf to the - ordinary setts of' morality,
'and the well. defined pr i inciples of international
law. By aspiring to riser,above these, and to ap.
pear original, be , has placed his country in a false
position, end debarred hiniself; whatever the just
-causes of war Mexico mai bave given 119;' from
pleading one of them : in justification of the seine!
war. We .must be.permitted ,to regret that he
Idiffnot reflect• beforehand, that, if he placed ,the
defence of the war on ,the ground that it already
etiated; and existed by. the act of Mexico herself,
and on that ground , demanded of Congress the
means of prosecuting it, he would, in case that
ground proved to be 'untenable, as he must have
known it would, have nothing whatever to allege•
in its or • hislown justification.. He should have
,been' lawyer enough to have known that he could
not plead anew, after having failed• on his first is
sue.. IL is often hazardous in our pleadings to
plead what , is not true,, and in• doing . ect in the
present case, the President has not only offended
morality; which he may regard as a small matter,
but has even committed a blunder.
• "The course the President Should have Pursu
ed is , plain and obvious. On learning the state of
things on the frontier, the , critical condition of our
artily of ocMipation, he should have demanded,of
Congress the reinforcements and supplies necessary
to relieve it and secure the purpose,for which it
was- evowedly s e nt to the Bit) Grande; and, if ho
believed it proper-or necessary, to have, in addi
tion. laid before Congress a
,:full and truthful
statement ()four: relations with Mexico, including '
all- the unadjusted complaints, past and present,'
we had against her, accompanied by'the recomt
mendation ota declaration otwar. He would
then have .kept within the limits of his duty,
proved himself - a plan constitutional President,
an eft the
the
of war or no war to
Congress; the uoly yvar-rnaking'power known to
Oar laws. Congrese, aft& mature deliberation,
might, or might not, have declared war,—most
likely would not; but whether' so-or not, the re
eportsibility would have Jested with it, and 'no
blame 'would bare attached to this President. k.
• " Unhappily, this course did not , occur to the
President, or Was tee plain and simple to meet his.
approbation. Asir fearful, if Congress delibera
ted, it;might refuse to declare war, and as' if deter
mined to have war at any rate, he presented to
CongresS, not `thetrue issue, whether war should
or should- not be declared—but ttie false issue,.
whether Congress, would grant him the Means of
prosecuting a war, waged against', us - by a foreign
power. I n the true issue, Congress '
might have.
hesitated-in the one actually presented there
was tin room to hesitate, if ,the official announce
ment of thiPPrestdlnt was to be credited, and' hes
itation would have 'been criminal.' By .declaring
that the war "already existed, and by the act of
Mexico herself,' the President_ telieved Congfess
of the responsibility of thd war, by ;throwing it. all
oh Mexico. But since be cannot fasten it on
Mexico 7 -for war did not already exist, or if so, by
our act, and not hers—it necessarily reco4 upon
himself, and he Must beat the responsibility of do.
ins what hb Constitblioh forbids him to do--1-of ,
making war without the intervention of Congress.
In effeCt„ . therefore, ho has trampled the Conatitmi
tion under his feet, set a - dangerous precedent, and,
by the official publication ut a palpable falsehood,
sullied the natiOnal - honor., , It is with no pleas
ure that- we speak- thus of the chief magistrate of .
the Unionjor..whose elevation to his high and
responsible Mike we ourselves voted. But what
ever may be our attachment to party, or the 're
spect we hold tb be 'due froni elf, good citizens to
the civil magistrate, we cannot 'gee the Constitu
tion violated, and 'the. national honor 'sacrificed:
whether by friend or foe, from good_ motives -or
bad, without entering, feeble though it be, our
stern and:indignant protest.
• SOUND DOCTRINE.—The editor of the
Sunbury American, a locofoco paper, holds the
following views, which are really admirable in a
locofoca: " General Jivin, though a N,V big.'
we know to be a liberal minded and honorable
man. In' advocating the • election of.thwernor
Shi*, we shall certainly not so far forget our re
gard for truth, consistency and self-respect, as to
traduce Gen. Irvin as an Iron master, or be guilty
of the still more contemptible conduct of impug
ning his motives on account of his munificent do
nations and the liberal distribution , of his means
for charitable purposes, or the low demagogueisce
which world array the people against him on ac
count of his wealth. Such appeals are degrading
topic character of the Press—disgraceful to those.
concerned, and untvortby.the character of n' free
and enlightened people. ti.Tharity is one of the
noblest virtues that can be practised by matt, and
is much too' sacred 'to he made the subject of criti
cism by souHess'editOrs or profane partisans." A '
little further 0n,.. in in the same article; he says:
—" To stigmatize a man as an iron master may
injure hint in the eyes of some; but in this sec
tion of the State it would rather haie a conitary
effeCt."'
