I mention the existing war with Mexico, as a fourth cause of national solicitude.
A state of peace is the only appropriate and healthy condi- tion of a nation — a state in which she may cultivate her soil, improve her manufactures, extend her commerce, model and perfect her institutions, and promote the cause of internal improvement. War tends to defeat these noble ends. It impoverishes a nation's treasury, checks her enterprise, crip- ples her energies, puts an embargo upon her commerce, and p...aralyzes her best and brightest hopes. It ought, therefore, to be regarded as a most dreadful and terrible evil, the curse and scourge of nations. I may be permitted to quote the language of one trained to the military profession, and now a distinguished general of the American army.* He says: " If war be the natural state of savage tribes, peace is the first want of every civilized community. War, no doubt is, * General Scott.
16 under any circumstances, a great calamity. Of the two parties of any war, one, at least, must be in the wrong, not unfrequently both.
