THE LIEUTENANT GENERAL

A bill is now before the national Legislature
proposing to confer upon Gen. w. Scott, The
title of Lie euteuant General 1t has thus far
elected good deal of interesting discussion
In comforting this title upon Gen. Scott, il is
not proposed to either increase his service, OF
his pay; but sia ply to bestow higher ,mp!i-
ment, for his distinguished services, than a vote
of thanks, or bestowal Of some military insig
MIA, by the nation.
To such proposition we could never sub
scribe and We trust that those who hold the ma
tions destines in their hands, will see to it thai
this bill does not become a law. 1t approaches
to near to that clause in the federal constitution
which says that, "no title of nobility shau tt
granted by the United States
Would not this come within the meaning OF
the constitution as "ttle of nobility 2' We
think clearly it would, because it is mere COM
pment, without any additional service to indi-
cate its necessity. Commander in chief of the
armies of the United States is as high military
destiction Us any man should desire aud as high
as the constitution recognizes. If Congress
sees fit by an Act of its body TO increase his pay,
or hy resolution to vote him thanks and a
magnificent sword and other military trappings,
all well. Not an objection we presume would
be raised from any quarter but TO confer such
distinction, as would make sad inroad upon
our republican simplicity and violate that provis-
ion Of the constitution which says that stiles Of
nobility shall not be granted, would in our
Judgment be an unfortunate departure from the
line of policy heretofore pursued. If we make
military men the recipients of such favors, why
not confer like titles upon our distinguished
civilians! The distinguished craftsmanship
and moral influence exerted by Washington
and Jeferson the Websters, Clays, Calaouns
and Cass 5, should not 20 unrewarded Princes,
Lords, Counts and Barons are as appropriate
for them, as Lieutenant Generals for our mill
tary men.
If we were at war with some formidable pow
er and necessity could be shown for creating
this office for actual service, as was the case,
relied on as precedent, when the effice was
conferred On Gen. Washington or if we were
in the mids. of a bloody war and there was
