in exceeding bad taste to repeat the thanks which
have-been enre nrrtemnfy given by thy t'OrrgrMs'
of the United States, lie say .that he stand
ready to vote him n sword. A sword is not the
appropriate complimentary tribute to ber given to
one of his rank. He say that he is willing to
Vote him an increase of pay, but he is not willing
to give the President an opportunity to confer
upon him a lioiitcnantshipbv brevet. Whynott
Is it any thing in tbe world but a distinction
without a diflemncc T He is willing to honor
Gen.-Scott, and the "brevet" will lienor him.
He is willing to increase hi pay, and the " bre
vet "-will inf-mtnjj.it.... Ileilt Attuisk with thi dif
ficulty, that if "we establish he principle that
every omcor wno aoe ma duty Is to secoiye A
urewt, we snail nnd ourselves inconveniently
situated, because we shall want rank in the
Army to supply the demands made on n for this
complimentary distinction-. I Would say, Mr.
rremuenti thnt i have no idea that a brevet it
ever bestowed npon an officer for ameredischargo j
bf bis duty. If that were the case, jterniH tue to
say, sir, that the consequence would be tliat every
officer who served in tlie Mexican war, and who
did not receive A brevet, would be stigmatised by
we omission w un inn neglect ni duty, ine rire
yet is conferred for extraordinary and successful
services. Permit me to say that we may safely
leave the difficulty that my friend from Illinois
has suggested to take care of Itself in the time
that will come hereafter; for be may rest assured
that if brevets upon the commander of armies
are never conferred except on those Who shall
achieve them by a brilliant campaign a celebrat
ed the advance of Gen. Scott from Vera Crus to
tie- city of Mexico, centuries will nroliablv nas
before we shall be made so poor in titles as not
to ue at liberty to acknowledge them, ' LH not
let us look sn fur ahead. We hare the case be
fore us. Tho compliment ia deserved, richly and
uftemly deserve rl.-' W-e rmre the mean of fann

nation may in time become bankrupt, and there

Mr.. President, 1 have been templed into these
remarks. 1 rose mainly for the Durnuae of mak
ing an.cxplanation in respect totbxlieutenant
generalship conferred on uen. Oeorge Washing
ton, My impression I that gentlemen are mis
taken, the title wn! not conferred on General
Washington fur the purpose of rirevenl.ng him
inim ncing out-ranked. , At the time of our dif
ficulties with France -the quasi war, as it was
called upon tbe recommendation of Mr. Adam,
then President of the I'nited State, a bill was
passed which authorized the President to appoint
an officer to be commissioned as lieutenant ren-
era!, and who should command all th armies of
Ibw.-liMteiJbfMatm-siie
general, on d as lieutenant general wa madeeom-
niander-m-chirf, or rather the general-in-chief,
the PrcM-lent iiuusclf Icing by ibe constitution
technically commander-in-chief. it was dlscnv-
ered, though, that by n oversight io making
ashinton lieutenant general they had really
put him in a lower eraile than that which he had
filled during the revolutionary war, when he wa
a full general. My friend from Illinois will put
tntrfight if I mn mistaken in saying that he a a
full general and mmniaudor-of all Ibe forces;
And at the very next Ke-nioa of Congiess, if niy
memory serves me rightly, an act of t'onirrew
was passed correcting the mistake, and giving to
Washingbtn the title of general. .
: Mr. I'tavrnx. Will the gentleman allow me
to mate that it is the act ol the 34 of March,
lT'J"' r f hai c it before me. '
