TO THE EDITORS. ?j
Ckktximmt : I have just read the report
of the military committee of the Senate, on
the re-nominations of colonels, Tow sonT and
Gadsden. The Senate having refused to con
firm these appointments, the question is set
tled as to them. Tliereare, however, points"
in the report, involving general principles,
affecting, indeed, the organization of the go
vernment, on which it may, perhaps, be "well
to bestow a little further attention. ,
.! I-will premise' that I feel as much respect
for the' Senate' of the United States, as any
other citiien whatever. That body has'yery
generally been distinguished for sound dis
cretion, the accompaniment of grave.delibe

now proved to oe unjust, wouki nui nave
been hazarded. Areihe people prepared to
h'ustifv political nostility, pushed to such an
extreme ?, Better would it be to choose the
next; President by lottery than to approve of
such an act of injustice and indecofum'! ,
The report appears to me to be,' mpreovet,
exceedingly jpaccurate in its principle and
TeasOningsJ Speaking of the inspectorsge
: neral,'it sys, ' one of tli em, Col. Wool, is in
ithe service" -without, and the other, ol. Ar-
jcher ytrfth ineal rank. This arrangement is
j calculated to produce greut sensibility among
the officers' of the army, and to embarrass the
service." ;1 - . h " ' 1 ' '
Col. Wool's station in the army did not re
quire Confirmation ; and it is presumed, that
' it was not intended by the Fresi'tent. that
I Col. Archer should hold his captaincy in the
13ne,after his staff appointment was approved
by the Senate. His continuing to do so, in;
the mean time, is merely to prevent embar- j i
either lose rank or pay thereby. When pro
moted, both his rank and pay will retrospect
to the period of Archer's appointment to the
staff, according to the uniform practice m or
dinary promotions. There is the less objec
tion j to this, because the lieutenant is now
presumed to be doing the duties of Captain
Archer, and because thep'ay of the latter, as
captain, ceased from the moment he "was ap
poHiied colonel.. It may further be remark
ed, at, in ! this .case, the lieutenant S potts,
having ih rank of captain by brevet, won at;
New'j-Orleans, he has not ven lost, in the
mean time the title which Archer's former
place gave to the holder. -
The sympathy here expressed, and the
more inflammatory tone of the other partis of
the report, eqfualb founded on misconception
arej Well calculited to disseminate disaffec
tion throughout the army, and to draw it
from: its constitutional obedience to therjpom
mander in chief of the land and na val forces ;
in fact to render the former a parliamentary
armyl j However contemptible its present,
numerical strength, ihe policy and right of Such
a course may well be questioned., . ' : - r
The report complains1 that the message of
the President t does not furnish the rule
whereby Col. Towson was translated from
the pay department to the command of a re-,
giment." ; In another part of the report it is
said,j " Congress have fixed: the. rule in pro
motions anc, appointmetits." " The following
are the words of that rule :
" The Executive will fill original vacan
cies,! when 'created, by selecticy.; accidental
vacancies, below the r&nk of brigadier-general,
by promotion, and according to seniority,:
except in extraordinary cases." I
This "rule' was, in fact, re-enacted 2d of
March, 1821, by the very act which created'
the ' original vacancy" to which Col. Tow
son was appointed. It remains only to give
a little attention to the meaning of the terms
used, and to the practice' under them : forv
the rule is of a long standing in our army
and perfectly familiar to .perhaps every offi
cer in it. " v
By the term ' original vacancy" is univer
sally understood a place in the army created
by law, and which has,not been filled." Once
filled, and the ,next day vacant, from any
cause whatever, it falls under the denomina-J
tionbf an , accidental vacancy," and must be
nextjfilled by promotion thaj is, by the next
in seniority below, ."'except in extraordinary,
cases," which 'have but rarely occurred.
The word promotion is, by the rule, placed
in strong opposition to selection, by which
original vacancies are' filled ; that is, the se
lection of any individual, in or out of thl ar
my, at the discretion of the president, s Thus,
the regiment of light artiller', raised in 1808;
had all its officers appointed in that year, ex
cept i the lieutenant colonel and colonel.
These two places remained " original vacan
cies nearly four years, nd were th en filled
by selection' and not by " promotion."
Capt. Fenwick, of the marines, was selected
tor the lieutenant colonelcy, andMaj. Porter,
of a'different line, selected for the colonelcy.
A Kiin : The 20thregiment of infantry was
raised and organized m f 1812, with the ex-
(ception of the highest place in it: ..That re-
I mained vacant mote than a year, , when a citi
jzen from private life was: selected to fill it,

: six days alluded to. So cf the 8th regiment

This ar icle further establishes the principle
'of .."subordination amon' the payrriasters.
Staff" corps is a term as common in our own
ami in other armies,- as corpi of infantry and
corps afrifemen. ft simply means a rwps of
officers without troops a corps o; .nifteers wiio
do not do their duty in body,1 but singly, or
dv aetaenment ; m snort, a oorps;ot orncers
who habitually do not exercise a, direct com
mand oyer troops. ' Such was the late " ord
nance department," improperly enumerated
in the report as one of the ' eleven regiments,"
and sucjiamong others, is the present corps
of engineers." .
According to the report, "waggon masr
ters't ."are .enumerated-' with , paymasters as
" nonc6mbatants ;" yet, during the late war,
"wacpn masters" and drivers were tamt-
liarly ahd officially, styled, in' orders, a staff'
. i 4i . v .i ! I:,. v L i
corps ; ill any joritisii nruiy, mc a.nn;
persons! are styled a e staff" corps.3 '. The o
mission !of the words i ' of troops," after the
theworil " corps in the section under Con-
sideration, is, therefore, entitled to all the
weight iven to the circumstance, by the Pre
sident. That section is otherwise copied
verbaU'n from the act of 1815, for the reduc
tion of that year. The omission was mani
festly made in order to reject the distinction
between " coips qf troops and staff corps,"
and to let in the individuals of the latter, un
der a Sound discretion, to the right of selec
1821 flow else, for. example, could the of
ficers of the ordnance department, 'however
pre-emihent in merit,1 have been saved under
the act lof 18 except perhaps four captains
who were provided for as prdnance officers ?
It is no objection to this view of the question,
that the President might have nominated a
military storekeeper without talents or expe
rience, for. example, to a high command in
the reduced army. In that he would not
hae' exercised a sound discretion. But who
is coloniel Towson ? Can liis short stay in a
civil stahcorps, if you will, 7iave destroyed
his historical identity ? Where is the indivi
dual who has not heard, of his prowess in
war ? V And who is the generar who wdl
march against a foreign e nemy, without call
ing out jloudly for the benefit of his talents,
his courage and experience i . If, then, his
nomination or appointment be legal, as has
been clearly shown, his .universally acknow
ledged merits otfght to haye settled the ques
tion:.;' I i."" ',' ' :
' When it is remembered that, before the
passage of the act, there were eleven regi
ments, j nd the same number Were retained
by the set, it is a fair presumption, that all
the colcnels, lieutenant colonels, and majors
were intended to be retained." It would be
difficult to find, in any piece pf loose decla
mation, at a town or county meeting, 'a great
er number of palpable errors than are em
braced in the above short I passage, quoted
from a report adopted by the grave Senate
of the United States. Yet; these and nume
rous similar misconceptions are the colouring,
matter )f the report, by which an associate
branch )f the government! is arraigned, dis
creditec and defeated. . J
. First, then, to' make good assertions, there;
were not, before the passage of the act, ele
ven regiments." . The . ordnance depart
ment,", po expressly styled by law, wasriot a
regiment ; it had none of the essential pro
perties if a regiment The officers served
by detachment. The department was with
out rant; and file. Jjt had in its service only

it is not,fa . fair presumption that all the lieu
tenantcjolonels Were intended to be retain

were, before thelate reduction, 15 lieutenant
colonels:; without that department,1 14. The
act of the 2d of March, 1821, provides for
but 11. f '- ' .

were, before the reduction.16 maiors s idtk.

Therefore, all the old lieutenant colonels and

trary notwithstanding. . ? "
Besides the three fonihal and nalnable pr.
rors thh established against the above ex-
tract froin the report, there is another which
deserves equal notice, 4 The ' construction j
