THANKS TO GENERAL TAYLOR
L
to which referred the amendment Of the Senate to the
joint resolution of thanks Gen Taylor the officers and
under his command for their conduct stormng the city oil
Monterey, reported the with the recommendation that
the House with the Senate in their said amendment
The amendment Of the Senate consists Of the substitution
of the first Of the following resolves for that which passed
1 by the House, viz
i Resolved That the thanks Of Congress due and
hereby teneredto Major General Zachary Taylor his officers
and for the fortude Skill enterprise and courage which
distinguished the late brilliant military operations at Mon
terey.
Kesoied That the President be requested to be
gold medal devices embematica of this splendid
achievement, aud General Taylor testimony
high sense entertained by his udieious and
Resolved That the President of the United States be
ques,ed the foregoing resolutions be
to General Taylor, and through him the army under his
command.
Il Mr. JACOB THOMPSON moved to amend the amend
ment of the Senate, (viz the first resolution, by adding
o thereto the foil wing
Resolved That the President of the United States
quested gold medals be struck with suitable
blems and devices and presented Major General Butler
Major General Henderson, and Brgader General Twggs

70 h 2. ds
gess feefor the loss of gallant man. whose ought
live in the recollection apd affection OF grateful country
Mr. CROZIER observed that if he understood the amend
ment Of the gentleman from Mississippi, (Mr THOMPSON
proposed give medals evidence of honorable dsnc
ton only brgader generals of the army and volunteer force
who present the storming Of Monterey. Now, IRE
marked Mr. g the State of Tennessee not fortunate
enough TO have bgader general in that engagement but
that State and the country very fortunate in having gal
liant regiment of Tennesseans present at this brilliant military
exploit commanded by colonel, (Wliam b. Campbell
And this regiment Of volunteers and their gallant command
had rendered distinguished services that
bic occasion, he would insert the name of Col VIII
liam B. Campbell in the amendment of the gentleman from
| Mississippi.
/ The SPEAKER Observed this would be amendment
| in the third degree il would not be in order
| Mr. CROZlER resumed. Well, sir, the gentleman from
Mississippi has the power agree TO the amendment pro-
pose, and hope he will do
i Mr. THOMPSON and said with the genteman's per-
MISSION he would ask him question. Was it the gentle
mans intention give all the officers present Monterey
medals If he included coonels he did not know where
| they would stop.
| Mr. CROZIER resumed. ! can answer the gentleman's
question: think, very satisfactorily every reasonable man.
10y asking him another Does the gentleman intend by his
amendment to confer medal certain grade of officers,
that of bgader generals merely because they happened be
present at this engagement does he intend TO confer it
evidence Of distinguished services? If the former the
motive, then the medal had very little virtue about it; but If
the latter the intention Of the measure, then he conended
that Col Campbell deserving OF this honorable dis
ncon than of the brgader generals mentioned in the
gentleman's amendment This brave commander and his
gallant regiment of Tennesseans had behaved with much
herosm that they had earned for themselves the appea-
ton which had them Of the Heroes of Nom
