THE Man OF THE PEoPLE.-Thc Savannah Re-
publican embodics Gen. Taylor's character in five
words, when It says that there is no distance be-
tween him and the People; that he is the man Of
the People"

1t viii be seen, by reference tie the Pope's
speech on organizing his Council of State,
that he does not design it to be a delibera-
tive body, representing his subjects, but a
body Of advisement representing the inter-
ests Of the pontifcate. This view Of the
subject is dissonant with that which has pre-
vailed so extensively in this country, and
which led to the recent demonstration in ia
vor Of Italian liberty in New York. The
Pope is right, and public sentiment has been
doing him injustice in this country. Italy is
unfit for republican institutions in any form ;
but evenif it were fit for them, the question
with the Pope is not the establishment Of
such institutions. It is the preservation and
perpetuation Of the Pontifcate in all its pris-
tine power and glory. The means now ia
ken is to effect that purpose primarily, andto
secure the public good secondarily,

1t is a matter for serious consideration,
whether the Ten Regiment Bill, as reported
by Mr.. Cass, ought to pass. Our own opin-
ion is decidedly against it, in its present form
1t can be demonstrated, that the recruiting
Of the skeletons Of the existing Regiments
requires at least 10000 men, while there
are no vacancies among the officers Of these
regiments From this view Of the subject,
it may be easily seen, that there are already
officers enough in the army to meet the pro-
posed increase of the rank and file. The
pay of the officers Of ten Regiments for one
month will be more than enough to discharge
the bounties Of 10000 recruits. These
hints are worthy of attention, and we trust,
that Mr.. Cass and the Military Committees
of both Houses, as well as the members
generally, will not pass by such obvious con-
siderations, but weigh them in the scale Of
the public interests and decide accordingly
