9, 165. 1SO AND REDRESS OF INJURIES, ETC. 225 An excess in this point is not without the reproach of cruelty and inhumanity. " But many generals will go to the extreme of what they think can be exacted, without regard to their re- putation ; and cruelty and inhumanity are as unavoidable in such transactions, as they would be if sheriffs and their men were to levy on goods by force of arms, and pay themselves out of the things seized. Moreover, requisitions are demoralizing, and defeat their own... ends. They foster the lust of conquest, they arouse the avarice of officers, they leave a sting in the memories of oppressed nations ; who, when iniquity is full, league together to destroy the great plunderers of mankind. The only true and humane principle is that already laid down, that war is waged by state against state, by soldier against sol- dier. * The state resists an effort to obtain justice ; the soldier obstructs the way of the armed officer of justice, and must be resisted. tL * We cannot forbear inserting, as bearing on this point, an opinion of Portalis, ^ his speech at the installation of the council of prizes, which we borrow from Heff- ter, 119.
