principle not being at all affected by the

fact that Hayti is too weak to resent the

outrage. The fact that the treaty which

could alone furnish the shadow of a

justification for the President's action

was made void through rejection by the

Senate, the Sun adds, increases the enor

hold—the objects to be attained by his

extraordinary proceedings were trivial

in their nature, docs not lessen the

gravity of the offence. That the Chief

Executive of the nation chooses to dis

regard the law in his official acts when

it conflicts with his own inclinations

unlawful course.
