THE GOVERNMENT AND THE WAR.

The censure bestowed by the wing press on the
President and his Secretary Of War; for their man
agement of the war against Mexico, betokens a
lamentabe want Of fairness and patriotism The
administration has done al in its power to prosecute
the war with vigor. The delay in pushing forward
and supplying the troops, together with the causes
which have given rise to complaints on the part of
the volunteers incident TO the character of our
institutions The appropriations necessary to carry
ON operations were not made by Congress until
May, and since that period the administration has
been necessarily engaged in procuring arms, am
muntion provisions, and the means Of trunsporta-
ton The same obstacles had to be encountered as
almost paralized the ncipien efforts Of the admins
tration in 1919, and as will have from necessity, to
be encountered in all future wars, from the want Of
previous preparation, which never has been, and
we presume never viii be- made until after the dec
aratioD Of hostlities In view Of all these facts,
we think Mr.. Polk and Secretary Marcy are de-
serving of praise for the energy which, under the
circumstances, they have dsplayed--a praise which
the captous spirit displayed by the wing press at
every trifing event, cannot diminish with the people
OF the United States---a spirit which can have no
other effect than to encourage Mexican foes to
more determined resistance.

STATUE OF STEPHEN GIRARD.--ln the year 1883,
the councils Of the city employed Mr.. Gevelot the
artist, to prepare statue of the late Stephen Girard
to conform to a model which Mr.. Gcvelot had
modelled and after some time spent in preliminary
arrangements, Mr.. q. went to Europe to accomplish
the work, giving information from time to time Of
his progress.
About two weeks since, Mr.. Gevelot arrived at
New York from Paris with his statue carefully box
ed up though in full confidence Of satisfying the cit
liens of Philadelphia of his success. The building
committee of the Girard College received the case
containing the statue and according to the articles
Of agreement selected, with M. Gevelot, three art
ists to Judge of the merits of the work. viz Thomas
Sully, John Neaglc, and J. r. Lamden, esqs., ac-
complished artists, and gentlemen in whom citi-
zens will have confidence. 1t was agreed that the
statue should be open for inspection on Saturday,
the 5h inst, when the opinion of the judges should
be given.
Accordingly, on Saturday afternoon the mayor Of
the city, the building committee, the commissioners
of the Grard estate, and the committee Of finance,
with the artists and several citizens repaired to the
college. The box had been opened, the statue ta-
ken thence, and placed upon movable pedestal in
the southwestern room Of the main college build
ing. II is the size of life No attempt at Roman
or Grecian drapery has been made, but Mr.. Girard
stands in solid marble, with the representation OF
the same coat the same vest, pantaloops, and boots
which he wore when in discharge of his duties as
mariner, merchant, and banker.
