pledge by the President that il should he done, is ono
Of tho most outrageous acts Of which the present out
rageous administration has been guilty. But TO the

the political OF the last year, lament and con-
denim. We have the fire Of party discord enkin-
died in the land, and brethren Of The same political
family and Eath aIienated, and set in hostility to each
other. We have seen one Administration put down
with reprOach, and another riumphanty placed in It's
stead protesting, s now apparent, the same once
rcproba,ed principles Of general policy, and to pursue
doubtless the same obnoxious system Of public meas
ures. We have had under this administration,
melancholy witness, in numerous instances, OF the
more ecc,ual claims Of men consideration than oil

venerable patriots Of the Revolution, veterans OF the
first and OF The second war Of Independence, able and
faithful civil officers, laboriOus and dependent clerks
driven from their only Of support and the door
Of employment shut against them, for no other reaso"
than the unworthy suspicion, that integrity may not
he proof against corruption by long service, or that
loss Of place was ct punishment for an uncomprOm's
Ing exercise Of the rights Of freemen."
