MISCELLANY.
TRIAL OF PRESIDENT POLK,
F’OR MAKING WAR ON .MEXICO
Counsel for the People, Jon.v Qiu.vcv Apams.
Counsel for the Prisoner, Joh.x Tyler.
Tint following amusin? jen d'esprit from
the Danvers (Mass.) CoarUr, will excite the
ri ibles of every reader, be be Whig or Dem
ocrat :
Ilobert Peel sworn—Hove bail something to
do with managing intercourse between
I nations. The laws of nations are verv
| elastic on the subject ofjust causes of war.
There are various causes which justify war.
It is considered justifiable to make war on
weak nations, for reasons that would be un
justiable if the opposing party was strong. —
Boundaries nre a fruitful cause of war. A
plausible pretext ought to be found or invent
ed belore going to war, even with a weak na
tion. lt is justifiable to make war on an ig
norant and semi-barbarous people to get their
territory, or make them receive opium, rum
or gunjaiwder. It is considered sufficient
reason to make tvaron a barborous people
because they arc dark colored, and live on
rice, or by hunting. Christian nations make
war on these tribes to teach them civiliza
tion and Christianity. They do this by first
introducing cannon balls nnd grape-shot to
destroy them, or runt and gunpowder, by
which they will destroy themselves. Chris
tian nations sometimes war with each other,
to decide which nation is the most Christian
nation, or to determine whether a certain Ital
ian gentlemen at Home is the head of the
Church. It is justifiable for a nation to em
ploy a press-gang to steal men to serve on
board ships of war.
Cross-examined—National debt of Great
Dritian very large. Witness has bad much
trouble in maniiging it. Amounts to bUO
millions of pounds sterling. Its annual interest
amounts to 200 millions u! dollars. The debt
was contracted by reason of wars with for
eign countries. It is very oppressive to the
people.
John Russell—Witness is now Premier in
the government of Great Dritian. Hus
heard the evidence of the last witness, and
agrees with him on the subject of wars with
weak nations. The great national debt of
Great Britain was caused by her wars. Its
interest is a perpetual tax on the laboring
classes of tlie country, ll universal suffrage
prevailed there, as in the United Stutc the
debt would be at once repudiated.
Mrs. Victoria Guelph Coburg, sworn— 1
fTltis witness was an English lady, of genteel 1
curri.igo and modest appearance, and was at
tende l b) Wr husband, Mr. Albert Coburg,
mol scv 1 small children, all under nine years
of a re. Witness gave Iter testimony with
much fluency mid without embarrassment,
having been accustomed to speuking in pub
lic. As her evidence was n mere echo oftluU
of the proceeding witnesses, we omit it.)
Arthur. Duke of Wellington. railed—Thin
was a tall, venerable looking individual, with
a military hearing, who “toted that he had
some knowledge in political and military af
faire. Upon being inked tha usual question.
What w re just cause* of quarrel between
iiulionH l” lie replied us follows It is
necessary and useful to make war to get rid
of u redundant population Kvery nation
has i few annual thousands of its lower or
ders, whom it is expedient to kill off by war.
When i,at engaged in fighting with a civili
ze I people, it is necessary to make w;ir on sav
age people to keep the soldiery in practice.
Criss questioned—Soldiers ought not to he
troubled hy religious scruples. A religious
man lias no business in a camp. Do not be
lieve in the Anal prevalence of pacific princi
ples. Have a better opinion of mankind
Such n stats of tilings would render the world
unlit for a gentleman and a soldier.
Louis Pfnliiipe sworn—This was n French
geuttemajj of large stature mid portly mein.—
Ife spooks the English language fluently,
with only a slight French accent. Witness
lives in France. Frenchmen love war and
military glory. Thinks it lawful to make war
on people wlm refuse to trade with you on
your own terms. Sometimes two strong na
tions unite lo blockade the port of a weaker
one, to force the latter to trade with them.—
I It is also lawful lor a strong nation to take
j possesion of Islands in tiie ocean inhabited by
natives partly civilized and Christianized Jto
j force upon them ardent spirits and the vices
of civilized communities, as these things jiro
mote trade, lt is likewise lawful to make
war on a people who wear turbans, sit cross
legged, and refuse to out pork.
Cross examined —Think it right to repel in
vasion. Cannot blame the Mexicans tor re
sistance when a foreign army invade their ter
ritory anil deslroy their people. Should do
the same thing under similar circumstances.
Wars have entailed a heavy debt on the
French nation.
Stanislaus Nicholas—Am a native of Rus
sia. and know something of the war code in
that country, ll is therefore considered law
ful to make war in all cases stated by former
witnesses. It it also considered right lor three
strong nations to conquer a fourth, and partition
it among the conquerors. If resistance is
made, those who make it are exterminated, or
made exiles of Siberia.” It is proper lor
a nation with extensive territory to make war
oil its neighbor to get more territory —and
then it is more absolutely necessary to ob
tain more. It the )*xiplc presume to question
your right, exterminate them. Think the
war against Mexico a just one by the Russian
code; witness is engaged in a similar one
with the Caucassians.
Thomas Ritchie—l am acquainted with
the management of national affairs; had for
merly much to do with the political atiairs of
\ irginta consider Virginia a great nation.—
Have lately had my attention directed to
managing the atiairs of the United States. —
Consider the present war with Mexicojust and
honorable on the part of this government—
All the ja-ople ought to give it their approba
tion, whether it is right or wrong or be
looked upon as trmiors lo their country. —
Think the Mexicans ought to be humbled.—
Have always urged the carrying on the war,
’* with vigor’” “ greater vigor,” - more vigor ”
‘increased vigor,” “renewed vigor.”
Mr. Tyler now stated that the wished to
call a few witnesses* to testify to the prison
ers former good character.
George M. Dallas —Considered the prison
er an upright man and good Democrat. Has
known iiim three years.
Cross-questioned—Am Vice President un
der the prisoner ;we were both appointed—l
mean nominated, by the Baltimore Conven
tion. Feel bound to obey the resolutions of
that Convention, in preference to the will of
the people.
James Buchanan—Am a Secretary of State
Have known the prisoner ten years. Have
always considered him a manor integrity and
an obliging gentleman. Never thought he
was quarrelsome.
Cross exaune ■! —Was appointed to office
by the prisoner. Prepared by the instructions
to Mr. Trist by direction of the prisoner.—
Think the prisoner passed as a Tariff man in
Pensylvania when he was voted tor at the lust
election for President. Witness is opjxised to
tlie doctrine of the Wilrnot proviso.
Robert J. Walker liave known the prisoner
twelve years, and always esteemed him a kind
hearted and honorable man. Was appointed
by him to odice, and directed to muk report
on a tariff.
Cross-examined—Expenses of the war very
large—Continual drain on the Treasury.—
Have to try various expedients to raise the
wind. Would like to have the war stop, if
it could be done, and save the credit of the
prisoner. If it docs not, it will be hard to
save the credit of the country. If it should stop
to-morrow, it will make a national debt oftwo
hundred millions of dollars. Witness thinks
it well to make different rates of duty on iin
s* ed and flaxseed. Doiit tinnk the’national
ueht we are now creating will be paid by this
generation. The people who are to pay it
are not yet born. Witness came Iroin Mkssis
ippi, anti was in favor of repudiation in that
State. Is not ready to say that it is expedi
ent at the present to repudiate the debt of the
United States. More money will he wanted
to go to Mexico, if the war continues. If the
debt should be very large, it will then be am
ple time enough to think of repudiation.
Thomas H. Benton.—Have known the pris
oner fourteen years and thinks he is a good ,
sort of a man.—Have good reason to think
well ofJiim us I once had the otter of a Lieu
tenant General’s commission from him.
Cross questioned—Have no doubt the war
might have been avoided. Always thought
tlie order to cross the Nueces precipitate and
rash. This war might also have been better
carried on.
John C- Calhoun—Hud an acquaintance
with the prisoner eight or nine years. Call
him a very clever man. He was considered
at Washington a man of small parts.
Cross examined—This Mexican affair lias
been miserably managed. The order to Gen.
Taylor to cross the Nueces was a most insane
project. Don’t know who advised the meas
ure. He advised against it.
William L. Marry. —Am Secretary of War. j
Have known the prisoner several years. Have I
been intimately acquainted with him the last I
three years. Think him an upright and
oroide m.m. Don’t know where there
better man. Jam

Cros-questioned—Don’t know as I can ex
plain the meaning of the term old turnkey to
those not aequninted with New York politics.
01.1 hunkers arc gisal Democrats—snare the
barnburners also good ultra Democrats. It
ii ‘■uppo-i dby some that the nume hunker is

that it is the Indian for Democrat; an old hunker
i a mnn that is a-u-unold hunker gentleman.

An anti-renter may be an old hunker Whig,
but bnrnhurni r cannot he an old bunker, nin
thor can an old Inmkcr lie a barnburner, til

VOL. XXV —No. 39.
my own sympathies are in lavor of tin- barn
burning interest. Witness was a carol slut* Mr
nomination at the Baltimore conVr-iiiou. y
anti- rexas opinions defeated my nomination —
a salutary warning to all candidates for office,
not to express opinions. Am afraid that Tex
as has cost us a great deal more tharT h is
worth.
The evidence on behalf ol the prisoner now
closed, and the cause was ably argued by Mr.
Tyler lor the prisoner, and Mr. Adams for the
people. The jury was then charged by the
court, and conducted to the jury room by the
Sheriff. We regret that owing to the illness
ol our reporter, we arc unable to present our
readers with the closing arguments of counsel
or the charge to the jury; and unless the lear
ned gentlemen will themselves prepare their
several articles lor publication, they must be
lost to the public. After deliberating twenty
six hours, without refreshment, the jury r ime
in. and by their foreman. Mr. Virginia, declar
ed that they were unable to agree upon a ver
dict. upon which they were discharged.
It is understood that eleven were for convic
tion. and one fbrncquilal, on the ground of in-
I sanity. The majority of the jury complain
much of the obstinacy of the individual who
stood out. whose name is Mr. S. Carolina.
He complains equally loud at the obstinacy of”
the other eleven, and says it is not the first
time that they have refused to listen to rea
son. •
There wore twenty-eight jurors called at
the commencement of the trial, of whom about
ten or twelve were peremptorily challenged
by the prisoner, and Messrs. Massachusetts,
Ohio, and several others, were challenged tor
cause, they having expressed an opinion.
Mr. Ada#.- on behalf of the people, moved
that a jury he empanelled to try the prisoner
again on the same indictment This nvjs ip
posed by the prisoner’s counsel on the gftnia#
of the absence of a material witness, and trie A
of the prisoner, one Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna. The court then granted a motion for
a continuance of the cause on a future day.
The court then adjourned, the prisoner be
ing first remanded to jail.
Short Sermon on politeness*
It is not poli'e to tell stories at the table, and
it is eviden-e of a vulgar mind to jest, joke and
ridicule at such a place. No gentleman will
permit himself to indulge habitually in this
I little “ table-talk.'’
It is not polite to obtrude your own affairs
upon the attention of others, by representing
| what thing-you have accomplished. &c. U
i indicate- inordinate selfesteem and is a sup
remely disgusting exhibition of it.
It i- not | ii,t( to indulge in a snivJirnr.
half sarcastic laugh while objecting to sonic -
remark or act of another. It indicates a very
small mind and a hypocritical sheep stealing
disposition.—What you have to say. speak out
plainly and distinctly without fear or favor.
It is not polite to indulge in backbiting to
wards another, at the same time appear
ing friendly to In- lace. It indicates a coward
ly and snakish-mind.
It is not polite to carry refitrion, or rat! r
■ the firms of it into a cold, stiff morality on
the Sabbath day. and cast the virtues of Chris
tianity ort; like a loose mantle, six days of the
| week. It shows that religion is abused rather
i than used.
It is not polite to exhibit a littleness in pc- *
euniary matters especially toVard- those who
’ deal fairly and generously by you—and to
j whom you are indebted lor a goodly portion of
1 your income.
It is not polite to break into the conversa
tion of others abruptly and give an opinion tin- jd
solicited.—lt is an evidence of ill breeding.
It is not polite to enter into personal contro
versies. and bar room brawls, particularly
when it is an annoyance to others.
It is not polite to engage in dispute with a*
blackguard, for in so doing you put youiseli’jf’
on a level with him.
It is not polite to refuse a favor when y-u
need it. neither is it oolite to exiend out: an! s
you can do it cordially.
It is not polite to lavish money proAisely-’tn’
keep up appearances, at the expense; of honest J
creditors. It smacks a little ofdi-honesty.
It is not polite to crowd yoursell intosociety
where you are not wanted. It proves tluit
pride has got the upper hand of reason.
It is not polite to call at stores merely to -
make examination of goods with no intention
of buying. It looks two much like shop lifting.
It is not polite to crowd into nil editors sanc
tum. disarming!* his pnjiers. read his manu
script ami detain him with idle conversation.
With him, time is money.
It is not polite to beg newspapers, nor is it
honest to st.-al them.
It i not polite to lake a newspaper for a
nmlth n top it without paying
a amble you
