civil qualifications.

When General Scott was first nominated, his friends,
knowing that the experience OF the last few years
not favorable to the preensions of merely military
attempted TO obtain for him reputation for knowl
edge of civil affairs. They spoke boldly of his civil
achievements in South Carolina and on the northeastern
frontier But they were unable to be sufficiently spec6c
to point any particular performed to any service
rendered. on either theatre greater than failure to pro-
woke hostesn order to sustain the pretensons which
they put forward for their chiean Since then they seem
bis claim civil qualifications on his career in Mex
co and they specify order issued a. Tanpco
to Justify that claim That order perhaps avery proper
orderj but Of martial sa having no
reference to civil proceedings civil tribunals tover
threw all ideas of civil government and relied on martial
law and military government Our army was in an enemys
country and many offences might be committed by our
soldsry on the Mexican people and their property and
the Mexican people might commit many offences on our
soldey, 10 which the laws for the government OF the
army would not apply. To prevent the commission OF
such offences General Scott declared martial law at all
points occupied by our forces. The proclamation OF
martial law might, for aught know, have been the
wisest course which could have been pursued under
the circumstances but it perfectly absurd to base
claim 10 civil qualifications on it, Martial law over
throws all civil government and calls upon
expound it, and relies vosys OF muskery to ex-
ecute it. Martial law is the harshest and most abso-
lutte species OF despotism; and when it is firmly
and energeticay enforced, it may comport with the
ideas which the federalists entertain OF good govern
ment; but the people Of the United States will show
them in November next that they view the subject in
different light entirely.
