Excerpt from Institutes of International Law, Public and Private, as Settled by the Supreme Court of the United States, and by Our Republic: With References to Judicial Decisions

The usages of war are set forth, but its atrocities are reprobated. The freedom of the seas is maintained, and a practical mode of introducing our American doctrine into the code international is suggested, by which private property by sea and land, and all non-combatants, shall be free from capture or molestation in war. To our mer chants, ship-owners, importers and planters, as well as to the peace and industry of mankind, these principles are of the highest importance.

It is shown that our republic reduced our humane principles to practice in the military rule of conquered Mexico, under our distinguished generals, Scott, Taylor, Wool, Smith, Worth, and other gallant chiefs.
