[From the Washington Union (official), April 28.) ‘The cisposit on manifested by some of our cotempora- ries to complain of the recent measures of the samin- istration, acopted ia consequence of the late aggressions upon American rights in the high reas near Cal not being sufiiciently stringent ‘comprehensive, iclines us to think that the powers of the Execacive in the premires have not been as well considered as they oughtto be before iniulging in censorious comments. ‘With our poses to tl Coser tr > oe outrages perpetrated, our feelings would have been ratified if a ‘naval force could have been ordered. to Flavana, with peremptory instructions to demand prompt ‘and ample reperation there and, upon its refasal, to inflict summary and exewplary punishment upon the cfiending parties. We have no doubt that if President Pierce had feit authorized to foliow bis impulses, he would not have ‘tated to adopt snd esforce such & policy for red d we baye a3 little doubt that the ‘mpulses ef the American people would have warmly spproved such # means of redretsigg flagrant insulté and mine But it must be remsmbored that the President is not authorized to follow his impulses unlees they dictate meacures olearly withia his consti- tutional powers. ‘there iano man in the whole Union who is more sensitive in regard to our ni and pone who jelt more heenly or mere wanton insults offered to our flag by the Span' cials; and yet, in the dissharge of his high duties, he was bound the most solemn obligations to keep within the pa'e of the constitution in the measures adopted either for redress or for future secarity against similar outrages, It were better to endure temporaril, the violatior s of our rights than to seek their re tress al the experse of those fundamental principles which de- fine and limit the powers of the executive department of the government. Believing that the ‘“ sober second thought” of al! true men will sanectioa 58 , we shall proceed to notice the limitations upon ecutive power in ado; measures to meet the nd to sbow that those adopted mani- ion of the administration to go to the verge of his constitutional authority in providing are- amedy for the late aggression We assume without hesitation, and with ontire confi. dence, toat there never was the least doubt on the mind of the Executive as to the agzressive character of the late conduct of Spanish officers in stop) i board. ing and exemining our inerchant vessel’, To dont on this point would be to impute to him sentiments in re- ga.d to the inviolability of our flag woich woald be as irreconcilable with well establiuhed international law as with patriotism. We do not use the terms *' fir- ing into”’ or ‘* bringing to,” because we should feel hu- moiliated if we supposed the President capabie of disre- garding the substance of the late aggressions for the par- pore of caviling aad stickling upon the definitions of the terms used to d- scribe the details of transactions whose iegal character depends upon no such investigations. It was just as illegal for the Spanish officers to fire “over,” or “sround,” or “ befere’? our vessels a8 “* at” or ‘into’? them in the particular instances which have called for the interposition of our goverament, Whatever the acts were, they were intended to stop, and subject to visitation and examination vessels over which the Spanish officers had no jurisdictioa. It was the ex- ercise of the right of the search, or visitation, or exam- ination on the high seas; and whether this assumed right was exercised by firing cannon balls ‘‘over,” or “before,’’ or ‘into’ our vessels, only indicates a t- er or ess degree of aggravation in the aggression, bat it does nor affect the legality of the act. The fact was clearly established that our vessels were stopped phd see! by force or menace is immaterial) and sub- jected to visitation and examination. In this consisted ‘the violat‘on of international 1aw—in this was the ag- gression upon American rights—in this was the in- suit to the American flag—ta this was the outrage which callei for the interporition of all the power. porsessed by the Executive both for redress for wrongs already in- fltcted and for the preventioa ‘of their repetition in future. ‘What power, then, could the President lozitimstely exercise by way cf redress’ If he had ordered the Gulf #quadron to proseed to Havana and demaud immediate reparation of the Captain General of Cuba, and, upoa his refusal, to blockade the ports of the island or to bombard its towns, these would have beon unequivocal acta or war. But the President has no power to make war. When an injury calls for redress he is bound to gemand reparation, and if it is refused, and re- dress is only attsinable by a resort to force, he must have the authority of Congress to proceed, unless the offerding party is of that lawless or piratical character irresponiitle to any government ca- pable of making reparation, which make? his punish. ment an exception to civilized rules of proceeding. If, upon the refusal of the Captain General to make immediate reparation, the Presideat had ordered the com: mander of the sjuadron to loo up the offeading S a frigate, and 10 capture or rink her, this noni have been to make a reprisal. Bat tae constitution has not conferred upen the President the authority either to declare war or to make reprisals, If thé necsssat power bad existed, the outrages would woll hays justi- fied a resort to one or the other moze of redress, aad we have goo¢ reason to believe that the President was only restraiped from adopting the one or the other mode from the conviction that he could oaly do eo at the ex- pense of the constitution. It is apparent, then, taat uncer his constitutioval powers, ic was not competent for the Executive to adopt those summary and effsc- tive measures for recress which the outraged sense of the American people seemed so clearly todenand, If he had been actuated in his policy by those embitious or selfish considerations which some of his enemies have 80 urscrupuloualy attribuied to him, he saw euch manifestat'ong of popular indignation agaiast the ag- giesrors that might weil have tempted a less diseraet ard conscientious President to overatep the bounds fix. ed by the constitution to hia powers. Without pretend- ing to indicate, or even to know, what policy the Presi- dent has adopted to obtaia ample reparstirn for these outrages, we venture confidently to affirm that the se- quel will prove that he bas discharged hia whole duty, ano that if fulirecress is not s, ily obtained the country will atiach to him no responsibility for want of promwptuess or energy tn the ezercise of all the pow- €18 belonging to him. When Congress again asseubles, ay {hol annear thet the President has exhausted alt bis Tegitins’® 5 "itless efforis t) ontain sa- mats yesoure Lisfactory reparation from Spala, It wit, ue, that body to cecide whether other andi more e! measures shal! be proeecuted. Whilst the exes will continue sedulousiy to eschew rashness or procipi fancy in bis couneels, be will show neither lack of jea lousy as to our national honor nor want of promptaess nor of firmness ia demanding and ia-ist.ng on ample redress for violations of rights aud insults to our flag. If it was not competent for the President to adopt war measures for the punistment and redress of tls lata ag- gressions snd insuits of Spanish officiais, and if, as we he med, the measures for reiress ajopted have gone the full jength of exesutive authority, it becomss interest ng to know whether our commerce and natioaal r’ghts and bonor are to continue to be outraged by ob structions and aggressions like these which have re- cently excited so much popular indign ition, or whether the President has adopted a policy whica will either ss- cure to us exemption from similsr outrages in future, or result in their prompt and exemplary punishment. It is the duty of the executive to protest eur commercs ‘ané our national rights on the high seas, ent to these ends the President is furnished with a navy and army, and is made their commander. Although he may no! constitutionally make war to redress psst ivjari may use the navy or army, or both, to prevent in, and, i( need be, he may repel gressions by forcible resistin of hostilities should be the The right of self-defence belong: lve uven equence of war, it i war oy the act of the off nding p: ry, and involve no violation of executive powers. If # foreign army invades oar ter- ritory, the President, as commander of the militar, forces, is bound to repel it, aitnough war taereby fol- lows. In like manuer, if the exclusive jurisdiction on the high seas which our flag guarantees co tha deck of every American vessel is invaded by an attempt to exer- cise the right of search cr viritation or exaraiaation, tho Presicent is as much bound to resist and repel the imva- sion of one of our ship’s decks as to resist and repel the invasion of our tory. He would be as derelict of duty in one case as in the other if he failed to exert the means placed at his disposal upon the apprehens’on chat war might ensue; it isenough for him to know thatif war comes in such way. it comes by the act of the in- vader, The only question of embarrassment ia such case is ag to the time when the aggression may be re- sisted or resented by theLexecutive. Itisclear, however. that, so long as the aggression continues, the resort to foreib.e means of resistance or punishment is lawfal, If our naval or military force be present or within striking distance when an aggression takes place, whether upoa our territory or one of our merebant vessels, the right ani the duty to interpose for protection, resistance, and punishment, is too clear to need argument for its intus tration. It ia equally clear that if the naval and military force be not actually present, but react ths scene of ression before the aggressor has consummated his outrage and retired from the place the right to inter- pose exists. We should maintain that, uncer peculiar clreumstances of aggravation and atrocity, a naval or military commander would be justified ia looking up and unisbing the offender even though the aggression had yn consummated. and the offender withdcawn from the place of committing the offence. It is only in ox treme cases of this bind that real difficulty is pre- sented as to the extent of execu ria repelling and redressing i jury and icsult. Because of such diffisulty the resy onsibility is devolved upon the Presi . ercising special wisdom ard precaution in tl of the officers to whom such delicate trusts a: ted. That considerations like these have operated upon the executive in placing Commodore McCauley in command of the gulf squacron we have no doabt that’ his prudence, circumapection vigiaace will ilostrate the propriety of the selection we as littie coubt. Tt is scarcely necessary to remark. that as the late occurrences in the ueightorkood of Cuba have caused the President to send a naval force there, the inference is conclusive that the ohjest ia to prevent @ repetition of such occurrences and to punivh tuem if their repetition ia attempted. Those acts are regarded by the exe ative as violations of internationsl law and indignities to our and aggressions npon our rights and ob: tractions to our commerce, which cannot, and Will not, bs tolerated. Commodore MeCauley will raise no questions of naval etiquette in connexion with the exercise of the right of visitation or examination of our vessels by Spanish war ~~ ——-- NEW YORK HERALD, MONTAY, APRIL 30, 1855. ’ ships.
