The question of beiligerency is one of fgct not tobe decided by sympathies for or preju- dices inet either party. The relations be- tween ferent state and insurgents must force= with the rules and customs of war, flagsot truce, cartels, exchange of prisoners, &c., &c.; and to josity & recognition of belligerency there must above all a de facto political organization of the insurgents sufficient in character and re- sources to constitute it, if left to itself, a state among nations, le of discharging ‘the du- ties of a state, and of meeting the just responsi- bilities it may inosr as such toward other pow- ers in the discharge of its national duties.

The existence of a Legislature representing any popular constituency is more than doubtfal. In the uncertainty that hangs around the entire insurrection there is no palpable evidence of an election of any delegated authority, or ot any government outside the limits of the campe cecupied from day to day by the moving panies of insurgent troops.
