REMARKS OF MIR. BENTON

On the Presentation of the Stcord Of Gen.
.4ndreU JdchsOn to the United States.
Mr.. SPEAKER: The manner in
which this sword has been used for the
honor and benefit of the country is
known to the world the manner in
which the privilege was obtained of
so using it is but little known, even to
the living age, and must be lost to
posterity unless preserved by contem-
poraneous history. At the same time
it is well worth knowing, in order to
show what difficulties talent may have
to contend with, what mistakes gov
ernments may commit, and upon what
chances and accidents it may depend
that the greatest talent and the purest
patriotism may be able to get into the
service of its country. There is a
moral in such history which it may be
instructive to governments and to peo-
pie to learn. When a warrior or
statesman is seen, in the midst of his
career and the fullness Of his glory,
showing him to be in his natural place,
people overlook his previous steps and
suppose he had been called by gen
eral voice, by wise coumsels, to the full
fllment of natural destiny. In a
few instances it is so; in the greater
part, not. In the greater part there
is toilsome, uncertain, dlscouraglng,
and notifying progress to be gone
through before the future resplendent
man is able to get on the theatre which
is to give him the use of his talent
/ So it was with jackson. He had his
difficulties to surmount, and surmount-
ed them. He conquered savage tribes
and the conquorers of the conquorers OF
Europe; but he had to conquer his own
government first, and did it, and that
was for him the most difficult Of the
two for. while his military victories
were the regular result of a geniu:
for war and brave troops to exc
cute his plans, enabling him to com

Who would be a Monarch.

Grandeur seems to be like candle
burning blacklist neasest the wick.
The following shows what society hens
In a monarch:
On the occasion Of one of his last
visits to Berlin, the Emperor wished
to present FAINTER, who was in the
employ of the royal family, with q
watch. A watch was offered to the
artist by his Majesty's Chamberlain;
but it corresponded so i'll with the lofty
reputation of the imperial donner, that
the painter ventured to remark to a
friend that it was not very imperial
gift. The observation was repeated
to the Gar, and it was perceived that
the officer charged with the execution
of his Majesty's intention had received
the value of a high-priced watch from
the treasurer of his household, but had
sent worthless watch to the painter,
and kept the difference for himself
The Gar frowned when this story
came to his knowledge; then, with
look In which sadness and disgust we're
more visible than anger, he took his
own watch from his pocket, and said,
"Give this to the painter, and for the
rest-say nothing about 1T, if you
please" The offender was one of the
most confidential attendants on his
own person!

"When the patient happens to die,
we lay him out in room over night

the sash, and in the morning he is en-
tirely off,"
''Indeed!" said the other in amaze
ment, Hwhat becomes of himr'
