Col RLxss-Hrs POSITION There is probsbly no officer connected with the army who has been object of mOre interest and pride to the people Of this State thsa Col Bliss has been since tise be- gaming of the Mexican His position alone as eon6de ntiaI aid 10 Gen Taylor, was cscalated to make him of interest and conseqnence to the eoun- try, bat the fact that he from eur ewn State where his yonih had been spent and where his snr- viviag PaFeat lived, made him subject of State pride 10 our people. They watched his with much interest, and were highly gratiied with all the heaors conferred npoa him The elegantly written military docun9ents bearing the signature 0f General Taylor, which always understood. and now admitted, to have been the productions of Cot Blis. slso served 10 raise his repaation and excite the admiration of the people of this State These and other considerations Aaaced inc greatest interest 10 be left ia him, and sRcers desire fer hs future success and promotion. Ata lnte period Col Bliss became oblect of interest in political view. h was known that be had great ialuenee eye: General Taylor. and when Taylor was elected to the Presidency, il very reasonably aniieipa- ted that Gel Bliss would be placed ia a position worthy of hs repatatiea, his known abilities. and his standing in the army; in . position where he could exercise an open snd hcnorzhte infuenee upon the Course of the administrniiSR It wosid have pleased the people of New Hampshire to have seen him piaced in such position; fer they had every reason to believe that he woaid employ bis utmost exertlons and influence 10 induce General Tayior to fa!hl his solemn pledges to the people, and to conduct the goFerHInent in a ma0neT 10 reflect credit upon himself and the country. IL Is true they knew him lo be "a whig.' bat they supposed that he had every motive which eoBla operate upon , sn honorable mind, to deter him from pursuing an sitrz, partisan proscripiiye lis own ftni- ly were all democrats, sad it s known that be all his eonsequsnee 10 democrats To democratic senator Of tais Stats be indebted for his ap pointment to West Point; under a democraIic ad- mi1istrAtion and 10 democratic administrations he owes all his hoaors and promotions ia the army. On these accounts ii Was supposed C0senel Bliss al least, would employ s his influence 10 induce Tav- Tor 10 fulfil his paecgess and 10 p0rsae moderate and patriotie in his administration, and on this account il hoped that be might be placed in position worthy Of hss reputation and character. in which he could exert . legitimate influence in public affairs-

 complshea Colonel Bliss in the esbinet for plAc. in which he Is better fitted than a majority of its members-instead of confeTring upon him a station of honor and responsibility corresponding to his po- sition ia the army, and worthy of his ,aeDts and reputation, we see him degraded by being made the Presidents private secretary, a station which any clerk at Washington could fill. and which a lnaa 1 occupying Colonel Bgiss's position in the army should never have accepted Not snlHis this po- siton calculated to degrade him in the eyes of our r.fa Lr.sA A.-E l.s Il. the edium which the administration is fass bring ! ing uP0E all in any way connected with ii.

Hiss is always the to prevail upon him; and that thus many ef the most objectionable acts of the administration have been hrorrht about. Now, whether this is net, sil mast sausit that his position gives degree o' plausioiity to the sertion; and whatever may be the fact, isng as he holds his present position in relation to Taylor and hfs cAbinet--a position which many charactrr- izs as that Of "go- -betweenr-be cannot f=il to be less identifisa with the administration nor escape a snare Of the osinm and disgrace which they are bsiBging upoa ali connected with it. We regret sxeesaiagy te his fair fame thss saIi44 we regret rxeae<ssgty hisa thus to b-sr the edium ef sets from which the people here have ever supposed he would shrink with disgust; bot As long as he occupies his present position, he wA be compelled 10 saaer thas ia repa,atiea, and vii daily tower himsef ia the estimation of eae people of this State. Hsncs t Is tkat beth fegard for his reputation and our State pride impei to de- sire earnestly that Col Biss may speedily disean- meet hinaeA from administration which is eer- taia 10 disgrace every one who may bs eompeisrc to eear any poTioa of the responsibility for it's dc lngs; that he may speedily sarrendeF Piaes which eosfsrs Hs henor upen him, bat raihes degra6es him ia the eyes es the whole eoa atTy, in ybew of the honorsbas position ia the army wheh he hefers I oeeapse9-a place which makes him tho isai Of
