This latter country is but an instance in point. While the gallant and statesmanlike Lamartine, with his compatriots, the, Republican1 Whigs of France, are struggling to establish a free and stable govern- ment.we see them continually impeded and thwarted by the agrarian French Locofocos, who would rc- duce all "overnment to the rule of the mob and in their clamor for equal rights run into the ex treme of levelling all law and order, so that every man may do as he; pleases they show conclusive ly that they are potent to pull down the works of other men, and despise wise counsels, but want the skill to build un a Republic. -We leave our ':Col- lCgC"' friend to study this lesson .

I Tbe President, therefore, by Message dated the j 29th Dec; 184C, recomntended the appointment of Lt- General, and the supple Jacob Thompron who abused both Scolt and Taylor, and introduced the ensure, on the latter, moved an amendment, on the 9th of Januarv. to the bill "to raise for a limited else would l;e net have afterwards repudiated it. ! to whom he denied patriotism at any jtime, or under j security, by predictions of victory.

He's been a County Court lawyer, and he knows how to change the name of a thing, without altering the thing itself Mr. Reid under- j stands it, too, and hence his quibble. " . thh Cong'l Globe, 2d JSes. 25th Cong. p. 518-9, , we find some account of this matter. i "Mr. Boyd, from the Committee on Military Af-j K fairs, to which was referred the Senate bill making j provision for an additional number of general offi- ! crs anj for other purposes .reported the same with i , . v 1 ' ' ! amendments. ' The amendments to the first section provided j that the number of Brigadier Generals to be ap- nnintpH h-.tr.n Khall not exceed three, and the number of Major General not to exceed two. If! we understand lanffuaffe. the bill was for the crea- tion of "an additional number of general officers." j Thus came again to life the "dead Banquo."' j Mr. Benton could not be Lieutenant General, but i - - - OCT' : he might be Major General, and provision was to be made for making him Chief Cammander of the. Armv. the ofTice beinnr the same, but the title difj ferent We quote from the same Globe, same1' page: A new section is then proposed to come in, be tween the first and second sections of the bill, as section two, in the following words : v And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States tie and he is hereby authorized and empowered, at his discretion, to designate and appoint any general officer of the rank of major general, whether of the line or by brevet, and whether of the regular army or of volunteers, who may be in the service of the United States, without regard to the date of his commission, to the chief command of the military force of the United States, during the continuance of tlie existing war with Mexico.'5 &c. This is the amendment that David S. Reid voted for, as charged by Mr. Manly, and as proved by the record and this bill was to create two Major Generals, and give tlie President power "at his dis cretion to designate and appoint any general offi cer of the rank of Major General" "to the chief command of the military force," &x. He was to to have the chief command, as fully as a Lt. Gen eral would, and Mr. Benton, or some else, was to be the man, at" the President's discretion, "without regard to the date of his commission." If any person inquires why Mr. Reid voted a- gainst this thing at first, and then voted for it, we answer plainly he was tchipped in, at the second trial. We arefnot left to conjecture on the subject for Mr. Brinkcrhoff, an Ohio Locofoco, made the , following' statement, explanatory of his course, and j Mr. Reid, we suppose could say the same, as the j two acted alike : See same Globe, p. 523. j gir, when the proposition for the creation of a j lieutenant general, from civil life, was brought up in this House, I voted against it. or to lay the pro position on the table, (which was the motion, I be lieve.) I did so, because I was not in possession of any reason for such an appointment. I think the Administration was guilty of a blunder in that matter a blunder in bringing it before this house, prematurely, and without reposing in Congress j that confidence which it demanded at the hands of Congress. Since that, in various ways, disclo ! sures have been made which have satisfied me, and, I believe, satisfied a majority of the members of this house, that the appointment ought to havo been made. So we say Mr. Reid had become " satisfied" ; ination of General Taylor. Whether father Ritchie that that appointment "ought to have been made," i will ever recover his won'ed equanimity, remains and when it came up again, under a different name, I to be seen. lie may keep up appearances, some hc voted for it. It was charged at the time, and I what, for the next five months but? when the die tU JAl BiJUitUt twlJliauitlLU, Hint, a.11 LIU ' - ' f when they have some sixty majority in favor of the us l irv k iuw iuw --wj lauui iu td it me i mil ml.
