The Navy of the United States, acting under orders from means', as-' I understand ivfrom the President of the United for in contemplation of law the order of the Secretary of the Navy is his order i has been ingaged in measure of vio- lence of WhmcaVesfvioicncc Violentf words merely "and of belligerent intervention" What kind of intervention?

So our minds are flowing in the same channel, and I trust we shall arrive ultimately at the same conclusion. If I understand the logic of the honor able Senator it is- this that the President cannot? without an infraction of the Con stitution, put forth an act of war until a declaration ot war shall have been made by the Congress of the United States? for, if he yields that point, then the whole case is gone if I can comprehend it.
The Constitution clothes Congress with the power to declare war. which these -think jtaust precede every act oi war.j JNow, let -us see what has been the understanding lof that subject during the whole historyiof cases, by way ot illustration, that occur to me, leading me to the conclusion that power has been on" th Presi- I dent by the Constitution to put-in. mo tionarnues and fleets, to put, forth act3fof war, I I absence a formal declaration of war by Wars against the Indian tribes have been car ried on in this county, year after yeary trom the daysx)i Washington uown i to uie vaays I Pf Armies are marched into the field, Infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and- pitched battles. ar. fought nd yet 4L-doubt if uu uiut uiiu, uutiug uur uuiu national story, one Instance of a formal declara- tiohsof war bv Congress asainst an In dian tHbe.
