The speech Wall)! Perused with the deepest interest. MR. DENTON asked the indulgence of the Sen ate to nuke an exposition of the circumstances un der-Which the President had proposed the appoint. ment of a lieutenant general to command the army in Mexico, and With which appointment his name bad become connected. It had been intimated, he said, on.'the floor of the Senate—hypothetically, to berisine,sbut not the less intelligibly and forcibly on that'actosmt-s-that there might be an ulterior and covert design in the proposition—nothing less than a-design . on the part of the President to appoint his . inecesscirs• The senator - from North Carolina, [Mr; Ranosaa in his speech on th'elieutenarit gen-1 eral bill, had indulged in that hypothesis; and, as I nia;supposition could be more unfounded, or more injurious to. the President or to the public service. or cOuld descend from a higher source; and as he happened to be in possession of all thelledenecessary to the vindication of the Presi deistAsti desired to make an exposition whiclswould "hove the simptisition to be unfounded, and would save the President's character and the public ser- Vice-frOmthe injury they would suffer if the insi matinn was : allowed to go out uncontradicted from . the floor of the Senate. Ile. asked leave, for as the bill foe-the lieutenant- general was laid neon the tible, - and as he'would not have it taken vp, (and would:not speak to it if it was,) and as he dal not choosy commit , the irregularity of hanging a speeetron some irrelevant bill, he must thrOw him self upon theindulgence of the Senate for !lave to make the exPosition of facts which-the Case re. q.uired.sand which the intimations of the senator from North Carolina rendered necessary. , Leave wee given, and Mr. Bris-ro a proceeded: I ma my self called upon by the remarks of the senator from Nnrth Carolina [Mr. BADGEII] to vindicate the Pre. side-at:from the unconrtitutional and dangerous de sign which the hypothetical observations of that -senator would attribute to him ; and shall do so in the -simplest- form of narrative, repeating , to the Senate all that has taken place between the Presi • dent and myself in relation to this appointment, and thereby enabling the Senate and the Wide to judge af . tlit jaitice of the accusation. It was at the,hoginning of the month of September last, anal in the"-moment that I was about s_etting oat to tae I weet,.that the President sent for me, and informed I me that lie had done so for the purpose of ctifering me=a high appointment. He named it. It was the'missitin to: France, then becoming, vivant, by the - Minn of the gentleman (Mr King, of ..,11:031- rritt i )-sa long an ornament to this cliamber t de clined the appointment, and for reasons which had induced me to 'decline high appointments from Presidents Jackson and Van Buren. Mr. Polk was kind enough to ask me to take time to consider; but I answered him that there was no nerd for time. that the. answer would still be the same, after any length of consideration; and so, with tti'anks for the honor he had done me, the appointment to the French ,Mission was definitively declined: This' wag the beginning of September last ; so , that, at Ms& u Os, it is That tuersesident coma , have had'no such design as has been attributed to bins - by-the senator from North Carolina—no de sign to make me his successor by virtue of mili tary feats to be performed an the low lands or the tableland of the republic of Mexteo. Oh the con- teary, a fertile imaginalion—such as the senator from North'Carolina so happily poss.esses—might has seen, or thought he saw, in this proposed ap pointment, a sort of political deportation—some thing tike lit exiling and burying in a foreign court —for a`purpose the very reverse of what the sena tor item North Carolina has supposed..l say an inventive, imagination might have seen, or thought itssastsill this. Possessing no such imagination, I saw suseuchthing. And taking the offor in the sense in-which it was made, as eminently, honora- Win itself,and a signal evidence of the Presidents I confidence its rile, and good will for me, I made - him my thanks for it privately, as I now do pub licly; and the -affair was dropped. This 1 repeat, was at the beginning of September last—only three monthchefore the meeting of Congress; so that, at that time, it is quite clear the President had no suarinomentous and fearful design as the senator from North Carolina has attributed to him. Up to that time—up to the first of September, in the Year .180—the repablic was safe. Immediately after refusing the mission to France I went off to the west, was gone until the month of November, and had no communication of any kind, direct or indirect, nor upon any subject whatever, with Mr. Polk._ ', This makes all vale again for two months -mares returned to this city in November, where my family was, and where Congress was soon to meet.. The day after my arrival I called upon the President; and here we approach the dangerous ground! For in that fi rst 'interview, lie actually asked me my opinion about the future Mode of conducting 'the Mexican war. For reasons not proper new,-to be stated, but of the validity of which the' Country will some day have', an oppor tunity of judging, the President saw fit , to ask me my opinion upon tbe future mode of conducting the war. This request did not strike me as being anything • strange or unreasonable—either unbe coming in him to make, or for me to comply with. In my Senatorial capacity I was his constitutional adviser'on Many great questions, 'thos,e of lieace and War Inclusive. In my political Capacity, I was the supporter of his administration, and ready 'to giteshim my opinion on any subject ; As Chair man of the Senate's Committee on Military Affairs, and accustomed, in that character, to communicate on -military subjects with all administrations for about a quarter of a century last past, l saw noth ing in the nature of the request he had Made to im. plicate either zif us. He asked me my opinion as. to the future mode of i Conducti4 the war.l I gave it to him, first in spierh, face to face, and aftertvards in writing. And lidre it is! [holding up - a roll of paper.] furl chosl to retain the original for 'myself, white sending a copy to him. Here it is; and at the proper time the public !shall sec it, but not now; for I do not belong to the school that makes publication of plans of campaign— even rejected plans—in time of war. , chlie Presi dent approved the plan; and it so happened that the nature of the plan required a head ,to the army —one head to the whole body—to unite and com bine-the whole info one harmonious and consistent I movement • It so happened, also, thatlenough was} known of the ideas of the two highest in rank of the officers of the army to know that their plans were different; and it is ,a maxim of fundamental observance in war that, no general is to be rcqui-1 red to execute a plan which he disapproves. A new commander became indispensable; and 41 any'nesv.inajor general would be subordinate to all- how in commission, the solution of the difficul ty laylin the creation of a new ranks itMerior to that of major general, and inferior to the,constitu rional;comotarider-inschief. The creation of the rank of lieutenaM general, as hail been-done in the year'l79B, at the time of the expected war with France, was the solution of the difficulty. This ralikl'esp s eared to be the natural and regular deli vition-frorii:the Presideut's own politieal and.mil itarY Character,' and . the proper connecting-link be tween him and the.urthy.

This, fur reasons too well known to require re hearsal in this chamber, it was thought would be eutirely agreeable to the generals of highest rank in our Army in Mexico; it would secure their rear at hcime, and leave them free to contend with the . . enemy in front. It was not intends I to diminish the fighting vocation of the two generals, but to reconcile and accomplish two desirable objects, namely, the execution-of the President's - plans;Vhd the release of the major general's from responsibil ity for plans and movements. ' This was the view of the c,./fire of lieutenant general : as to the propo -1 sed qfficer, there was no breach of military rule, law, etiquette, or propriety in the proposed ap pointmcnt. The office was original, and.belonged to uo person. The President had a right to homi ; nate, mid the Senate to confirm whom they plets• I I ell. Personally, I would take no concern in it.—' I only asked the President to ma - known the it M name intended for the place to t e embers of Congress, that all objections to th, o fficer, as well i as to the office, should be open to full inquiry., I , forbade my friends to say a word on my atemint. I would not say a word for myself. .1 vroulchnot even Obviate a prominent objection by reminding 1 any one that, in ISIII. I was the military superior ; of every general now in the service, and had a! 1 right to have commanded the whole of theni if 1 l'we had chanced to serve together. I was then 1 1 colonel in the service of the United States, corn• miisioned by. President Madison, under a law of Congress, arid • led a regiment of my own raising 1 from Tennessee to the lower Mississippi, under IGeneral Jackson, to meet the British then expected ' at New Orleans, but who did not come till 151-1. I wars then of a rank, and in a position to have , commanded, if we had met, every general now in service. Even. in the regular army. in 1513, V was lieutenant colonel %%bile most of the present generals were company officers, and only one of them of the rank of colonel. Yet I scorned to! `mention these things, even to bosom friends, while'' the measure was depending, and only do it now for the purpose of rescuing, the President from the; supposed bleach of the military decorum which; the appointment of a citizen from civil life (my -1 !self being that citizen) to the command of the ; army. Finally, and to conclude the vindication ot 1 the President in this particular, I can say that Mr 1 Polk is net the fast President who proposed to I give me the command of the army against Meet-' I co—that Cep Jackson himself proposed it in I S•_.o. ' when our affiirs with that country looked warlike ; ; and that then, as Dow - , 1 agreed to take it. 'And ; here, Mr. President, having fulfilled toy task of I vindicating the Chief Magistrate of the Union from' the design hypothetically imputed to him, of wish- I ing to appoint his successor, in my person, and by i means of this lieutenant generalship, I might cl n-e! my remarks; but as my tome has been coupled ! with this business, and as 1 hose remained silent arid even left my seat while the measure was depending ; I must now take lease, with the kind indulgence of the Senate, to proceed a step further, arid to 1 say a word on my own account ; and to show that i rervi,e, and not rank, was my in ducement to agree I to the offer of the President; and that there might I have been cases in which I would not have ac- I cepted the office of lieutenant general even if it . had been created. I base already said that I wilt not show what my own plan was; bat I can say of it that it was a plan which looked to a result. and promised an lame, and that briefly; and that I would ; I have hail nothing to do with any plan of any other; I kind !—nothing to do with any plan that contern-I lot:veil along and moderate war, or a war of mas- I terlysinactivity, or of retreat upon the Rio Grande.' 1 or of defending a line, or of attack upon the idle 1 and solitary castle of San Juan of -Ultoa--especi- ! ' ally at the commencement of the season for the I. black vomit. In no one of these cases would 11 have been lieutenant general, or captain general. or major general. or colonel general; or any other; ; sort of a general that ever Was heard of. I know 1 very well that the President had no idea of any I one of these most amiable plans; but t6C - re-isaway 1 to give him an idea of them, and even to force; them upon him-,.and that would be, by the simple' process of denying him the means of doing any 1 thing else. I shall not state my plan; but I will simple' process of it, that besides intending a rand, it propo 1 Ised to carry on the war. while there was star, ac cording to the usage of all nations in the case of rinvasise war—the ins - ears to be paid and subsist !, ed by the invaded. Contributions regularly levied. 1 duties regularly collected—would accomplish there objects, and leave the United States free, or nearly I free, from the expenses of the war. I can say.' further, that my plan was not limited to a mere ; military view of the subject ; that it comprehended I a union of policy arid of arms—the olive branch I to go with the sword ; ministers to treat, as well I as an army to fight. A diplomatic mission, na• tionally constituted both in a geographical and in -a political sense was to attend the head-quarters; I and, while the ministers stood ready to negotiate! 'at every step. the army was to take an organiza tion and an attitude to give emphasis to negotia tion. And this combination of arms and of policy was not mere guess-stork, the idle conception of fancy ; but the result of a knowledge of the state of parties in Mexico—a peace party, for honorable peace; a war party, for endless war—as was so luminously shown by the senator from New York [Mr. Dix] a few days ago. My plan was ordered to both of these parties—honorable peace for one : the sword for the other. The military part of the plan has fallen to the ground ; the diplomatic part falls with it: and now it devolves upon those who have frustrated the plan of the President to prevent him a better.. I counted much on the efficacy of the diplomatic part of this plan ; for great errors prevail in Mexico with regard to our designs and feelings towards them, and which nothing but an , authentic mission could remove. The war party is incessant in its calumnies against ueflirtfully I contrived to operatelqn every class of the people, and to render peace impossible. It has a falsehood 1 for every class. To the religions orders the war, is represented as a war of religion—the Protestant , against the Catholic—and a war of sacrilege—the spoliation of the churches. To the creole Spann ards and the hailing of 'nixed blood, they present it as a war of faces—the Anglo-Sakon against the Spanish American—and the subjugation of the lat. ter intended. To the unmixed Indian race, (nearly I one-half of the N% hole population, and the sole re-, source of the army for its rank and file) it is pre I malted as a war of extinction, or of slavery—their race to be extirpated, like • so many tribes in cur North America: or, to be carried into slavery to work the fields of their masters, like the sines brought from Africa. Arid, -to all. it is presented as a war of ambition and of conquest, in which there is no peace for Mexico but in the degrada tion of her citizens and the loss of her indepen dence. A mission, such as I proposed, would nu- I tentically contradict all these calumnies, and Ishow the deceived people of Mexico that just and !honorable peace is all that we want ; and that, far I I from wishing lies degredation, both policy and in terest unite, in making us wish to see her prospe -1 runs, happy arid independent. She is a republic— ; our neighbor—who did us the honor to copy our I form of government, and had a great commerce with. The injuries of which we complain were the work of a few, while the great majority of I the people hare done us nu harm are willing to do t us justice, and reciprocate the wish for that close connection, political and commercial, between the two republics which is necessary to their own prosperity, to the stability of the republican sys tem in all the Spanish American States, and to the complete independence of the New World from the Old. I counted much - on the efficacy of the diplomatic part of the plan, and not less on the military part;if the other failed. Of this I can say nothing, but that it was not. framed in total ig,no• ' ranee of Mexican character, Mexican country and 'Mexican 'resmirces - Ferty. years Ago I.

Correspondence .of the Morning Post. v., LETTER XVII. Htuntsutruoti, January 28411,1647. Nothing of importance to-day. The bill which seems to create, the most interest, is that which authorizes the Councils of the city of Philadelphia to becorrie stockholders in the Central Railroad. On yesterday it was brought up in the House, but lon third reading was lost. To-day it was up for reconsideration, but no action was taken upon it, being postponed for further consideration. The following is the bill as it was brought up for re- consideration "That the act, entitled 'An act to incorporate the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,' passed the thirteenth day of April, eighteen hundred and forty six, shall be taken, and construed to have author ized, and as authorizing all municipal and other; corporations, to sulrieribe Tor shares in the capital stock of said Rail Road Company, and to borrow money to iiay therefor, arid to make provisions for, ; the payment of the principal and interest of the Money so borrowed, as in the cases of loans to said corporations. And the certificates of loan or bonds issued, or to be issued by any such munici pal corporation for the purposes aforesaid, bearing an interest of six per centurn per annum, payable half yearly, may be received. as cash by the com missioners' and company in said act named, in payment of the instalments on the shares ittbscri- , bed for by such corporation, but the total amount of the shares in the capitalstock aforesaid subscri- I bed for by any municipal corporation shall : not ex ceed five per cent. on the assessed value of the prop) rty subject to taxation, for State or county purposes within the limits of such corporations." The bill has malty advocates in both House's, and a strong effort will be made to get it passed. Memorials are presented every day against the' passage of the bill, being unconstitutional, as it makes n person a party to a contract against his will, which no authority can accomplish. The', memorial presented to-Jay in the Senate, signed by ;brace Blaney, that other citizens of Philadelphia, spewed conclusively, that the passage of such a law would be a stretch of authority which no con : s:itutional provisions would empower them to do. The memorial is now in the hands of the printer, if I can obtain a copy I will rend you one to-mar: There was no allotment of the State Printing to.day. After the Senators hail been introduced into the Ball of the House, Mr. Darsie offered a! resolution that the Contention shall not proceed to open the proposals at the present time, but recant mend another day fur the allotment of the publif printing; which was agreed to, the tvltigs all vo. l I tiag far the resolution, and the democrats against I it. Wlat such a move means, no one can tell. It I was don'e under the excuse that sufficient notice had not been given by the Secretary of the Corn monwealth, -but Mr. Knox sheered that the no tice had been published the ten day-a previous re_ quired by law—then Mr. Darsie shuffled it off by I saying that, as there have been supplementary laws passed within a week or so in relation to the State Printing, the person to Whom it teas alotted might I in case of any difficulty, throw himself back upon the laws of which he was only cognizant when he offered his proposals. In this Mr. Darsie showed I himself entirely ignotnat of even the first princi ples of law. Ile should have remembered that old maxim, ttignorance of the law excuseth no man - - but he was determined to effect his object in pre venting the choice of a State Printer, and he was supported by the whole bevy of whigs, though acting under the excuses I have' mentioned. Do they want to change the law entirely, and make it elective as heretofore ? We can expect nothing better from those who have the power in their own hands.

The Medicine is a compound of 22 distinct vegetable agencies; each in dividual root has its own peculiar, exclusive, medi cinal property, conflicting with no other compound -each root makes its own cure—and as a perfect combination, when taken into the system, it does the work which NATLIILD, when her laws were first established, intended it should do—P U RIF I ES , STRENGTHENS, AND RESTORES the broken down,, debilitated constitution.
