Among the incessant effbrts made in Congress to
grant bounties to the officers and soldiers Of the
army during the war with Great Britain in 1872
and the late war with Mexico, the officers and sea-
men of the navy seem to be utterly forgotten, or
passed over. All admit that they were the first to
break the charm of British invincibilty on the
ocean, and crown their country's brow with un-
fading laurels; and during the late war with Mex
leo they did all that it was in their power " do,
limited their sphere of operation, TO subdue
the enemy; and yet not syllable is uttered in ia
vor of that branch Of the public service. During
the with Great Britain, the officers of the navy
received but small pay, compared with what those
of the army have since received; assistant sur
geon, for instance, receiving only about six hundred
dollars per annum, and portion of such prize mo-
ncy as might come to him from the capture of IN
enemy's vessel, while the officers and soldiers of
the army, employed in the Mexican war, are al
lowed, in addition to high pay, portions Of the pub
lie lands as bounty. would ask, is this fair or
JUST Is it measuring equal and impartial justice
to both arms of the national defence? Ifone be en-
titled to such favor from the Government, is not
the other equally entitled? Why is this invidious
distinction NADER Comment ia unnecessary. The
writer is civilian, and speaks from no feeling of
partiality for either. JUSTICE.

cussion upon topic which becomes more
sore the more it is handledl
By leaving the decision Of the slavery
question to the silent operation Of causes
which legislation can neither impair nor
improve, by submitting it to the decision
Of the people themselves, when in the
fulness of time they shall be prepared for
admission into the Union as State, will
not the petition of the South TO be "let
alone' be answered. By submitting this
subject to local Legislation and natural
causes, the institution of slavery will be left
to complete its destiny without improper
interference from any quarter. This is what
the South has been contending for, and
this is what is offered them. The par
ticular proposition which has been such
bone of contention between the two Sec
tons of the Union, when analysed, will
be found to signify just nothing, in so far
as the territories acquired by the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo are concerned. 1t is
SO obviously an abstraction, practical
nullity, that it can scarcely be insisted
upon in view Of the arrangement it pro-
duces. We shall be satisfied with any ar
rangement which may be adopted to give
g finality and totality'' to this fostering
trouble but we would submit it to all
parties, If that is not the best plan Of ad-
justment which leaves the least wound to
be healed by the sequel Were this
pregnant danger passed, and in a way that
inhicts no hurt upon other sections, spirit
of closer utilization would take root in the
joy and relief the people would feel. Bet
ter and wiser things would flow from the
admonition which the struggle inculcated,
against fostering and fomenting sectional
jealousies and local prejudices into porten-
tous national issues.
