the following paragraph in the Philadelphia

find the following paragraph in the Philadelphia
Keystone of Tuesday:
stany repeating the manufactured that Gen. Vim
Gibbs McNeiI-the gentleman who commanded the ''aw
Rhode Islands, to receive appointment in the army
the United States II the in Mexico is not ended be-
fore this receives appointments II VIII continue, we
trust, while time lasts.
If there were any foundation for the rumor that Gen
VIM Gibbs Mcneil is to be appointed TO a high com
mand in the army in Mexico should cxclam, In the
language of the keystone "What does it mean"
Gen Mcneil made himself very odious to the democ-
Iacy of New England by voluntarily becoming the com
nande, in c,ef of the Agerne forces OF Rhode Island
against the democracy of that State, who were noby
struggling for the extension of the right OF sufrage and
believe he received his title of general from his dlst'n
guashed command and services on that OCCASION.
Although Tor time put down and subjected to out
RACES insults and expressions the most dsgracefu
the part of the Agerines through the nsumentahty OF
this same General McNe and the unjustlfable interior
ence of President Tyler in the internal political concerns OF
sovereign State the hearted democracy OF that State
have struggled until they have partially trlumphed
their bitter and malicious foes, in the election OF
representative Congress from of the districts OF
their Staeus defeating an election Of federal Pre''-
dent by the House Of Representatives..
Now, for this signal triumph OF their courage and per-
severance they to be rewarded by this administra
ton by the appointment OF a man to a high ohce VINO
was the CHIEF military instrument in the hands OF their
revengefu and prosecuting oppressors to put them down
and disgrace them' What keener injury could be IN
ncted upon their feelings than the appointment TO any
place. under democratic administration, of a man who
has, by his own voluntary act, made himself so justly
odious TO them!
lido not believe that the President has given any
surance that he would appoint Gen. Mcneil to high
office in the army The President, in my belief, has no
sympathy with those who literally made with the
sword and bayonet upon the people for attempting peace
ably to their political rights az Gen. Mcneil has
done, as commander of Tie Aigerine forces of Rhode
Island upon the people Of that State The military hon
ors which he acquired in that quite sufficient oI
one man to wear who is not too greedy for fame and
Gen Mcneil should be content with them He may re,
ly upon it. the laurels which he in the celebrated

ever remain fresh and green upon his brow:
