THE BEARER OF DISPATCHES.

p
The Independent is very much shocked at
hearing that person, late clerk in the State
Department, has been appointed to bear de-
spatches to Europe. With characteristic ma
Lightly, that press parades the individuals name
before the public and accuses him of drunken
ness, &c. &C.
The circumstances attending the conduct of
the Secretary of State, with regard TO this APP
pointment, are such as reflect the highest credit
on his kindness Of heart, and show that he
strives to temper the strictness Of official duty
which is not to be avoided, with mercy and cha
rity towards the unfortunate.
That individual was in the Department of
gone with dispatches to General Cass-for bear
ing which, he will receive, when he arrives at
Paris and delivers them, the exact amount of his
expenses from Washington to Paris, and no
more, which will be- at the outside, 200 dollars.
Initiating its great master, in his recent abhor-
renee of the enormities of the present system of
mileage, of the origin of which we may have
occasion to speak hereafter, that paper, whose
senior editor understands the subject, is outra-
ged at the appointment of a bearer of de-
spatches.
If our recollection does not play Us trick,
some time since certain gentleman was APP
pointed bearer Of dispatches to South America
by certain Secretary of State-receved fifteen
hundred dollars in advance for this service
embarked for the place Of destination with his
dispatches; but, being on board ship with me
chanics and other disagreeabe people, whose
society he could not abide, left his dispatches
with the master of the vessel, got board
another ship and went to London with his ff-
teen hundred dollars
1t strikes us that this trusty bearer Of de-
spatches was of the same name as the senior
editor of the Independent, and the discriminate
ing Secretary of State was of the same name as
the late Senator from Kentucky

THE APPOINTING POWER.

We have occasionally heard complaints Of
the manner in which the appointing power has
been exercised, in the choice of individuals for
Offices of trust and profit about the Government.
To show the injustice of these clamors, it is only
nece .sary to advert to the circumstances under
which these appointments are made, from which
it will be evident that, if bad selections be at
any time made, they are TO be traced to non-per-
Torrance of duty on the part ofpersons most deep
ly interested, and that, in vast majority Of
cases, no blame should or can attach to the
Executive. When offices are to be filled, the
President, with the privity and consent of the
Heads Of Departments, or ma jority of them,
dominates such persons as may be most strong
ly recommended. In examining recommends
tons thus made due regard is had to tn, sour
ces whence they come, and, in the absence Of
all counter representations, the candidates re
ceve the benefit Of whatever weight Of charac-
ter may attach to their friends respectively
as IL IS utterly impossible that The President,
or has alirisers, can hare a personal knowledge
Of all the indiriduals that apply for office, he
and they must be guided by the lights afforded
them from other quarters, and, in doing so, have
no right in courtesy or justice, to doubt the
truthfuness of the statements made by the friends
Of applicants If, as we fear is too often the
case, recommendations be given either without
reflection or from unworthy motives, however
great may be the imposition practised, these re-
concentrations must be presumed to lie truthful
in the absence of counter information. Such be-
ing the case, is it not natural and proper that
appointments shall be made in accordance with
the wishes Of parties who come forward sus-
tanned by uncontrddicted testimonials of The
strongest character in their behdlf2 Most as
suredly il is; and to pursue different course
would be Tor the Executive to arrogate to him
self power in direct opposition to the genius
and policy OF our free institutions. 1t may be
said that it is the duty of the President to in
quire-and there can be no doubt of the correct
ness OF the position to a certain extent-but of
whom is inquiry to be made, if it be not of
those who have known the applicants, and who
have already given their testimony in their be-
half and is not silence on the part of those
who do not make known their opposition and
its grounds, in fact full acquiescence IN the
correctness of the representations made II is
| certainly not to be expected of those who exer-
else the appointing power that they wiH pre-
sumo erery applicant TO be unfit until the con-
trary shall be shown; nor is it supposed to be
their duty, ais members. of the Executive Ad-
mnistration Of the Government Of the United

LORD ASHBURTON'S ARRIVAI.-HIS MIS-
SION

Lord Ashburon arrived at Annapolis in the
Warspite on Sunday. His suite proceeded d.
rectly to this city, and his Lordshp's arrival at
the Capitol may be expected Immediately In
asmuch as fears had been entertained of the
loss of the Warspite, growing out of the long
passage, (some AZ days,) we doubt not that
general qualification will be felt when his Lord
ships safe arrival is generally known.
We would observe, in connexion with this
subject, that while the negotiation is pending
involving as 1t does so many momentous ques-
tons, and the consequences for good or evil that
must result from its termination-t would seem
to be the duty of the press to abstain from in
fiammatory remarks, invidious onjectures, and
taunting comments on the parties treating or
the subjects under consideration. 1t may be
taken for granted that the high functionaries en-
gagged in the endeavor to adjust the difficulties
existing between this country and England are
possessed of all the facts connected with the
subjects of negotiation, and are fully competent
to dispose of them in the proper manner. The
people of this country have no fears that the no.
nor of the country will suffer in the hands of
the constituted authorities.
Yetw cannot close our eyes on the mortiiy
ing and humiliating course pursued by the enc
mics of the Administration, at such critical
juncture as the present. We mean the ultra
leaders and leading ultra presses on both sides
the Globe and its faction, on one hand, and
the Manifesto Wings, on the other The
Globe is daily attrbuting the most prohigate
motives to the Secretary of Systematically
designing TO produce a belief that DANIEL
WEBSTER is pledged to sustain British interests
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-04-05

in opposition TO the interests Of his nativeiand-
the land he has honored, and that has justly be-
slowed honor on him And thus the Presi-
dent, the Administration, the country itself IS
tainted with dishonorabe intentions and prac-
tees We must appeal to the people for JUS
tice. The pure patriotism that kindled the glo-
rious fire of LIBERTY, in the struggle for inde-
from the base mputations of factionists--and it
will do il.
On the other hand, the Manifesto Wings
such men as Rayner, Lane, Bolts, and some of
higher repute-acting upon the ungenerous as
sumption that the President is anxious TO in
volve the nation in a war--the greatest calamity
that the mind can conceive of-for the ignoble
purpose of putting aside opposition, and win
ming popularity by bringing into active exercise
the martial spirit of the country, have debe-
rately resolved (the Wings being in the major
ity) that the Government shall not hare sup
plies TO carry on a loar, RIGHT or WRONG Thus
is the Government situated. One party assert
ing that our Secretary of State-in short, the
President and his Cabinet-will barter away
the fair name of the country for gold, (and yet
they vote against all the measures proposed for
placing the country in posture Of defence inn
mediatelg) while the other dictatoraly decides
that there loiH be no sufficient cause Of acar,
and actually refuses to furnish the means to
carry it on!
We appeal to the People,
If the enemies of the Administration are to
be sustained in their fendish devices to cripple
the Government, then justice is extinct. Ma
tional honor i, hopelessly sullied. Our indie
pendence is but fitting vision Americans,
think of the con ,equeHces. Will not this pro-
cedure cause other nations to suspect our boast
ed public virtue, when an ex-Government pa
per proclaims that our Government itself is We
nal, and may be influenced by foreign gold I?
Will not other nations make unreasonable and
exorbtant demands, when Wing majority in
Congress openly resolves that the Admnistra-
ton shall not hare the poaoer to arenge an IN
suit, or to repel any naughty inrader?
We appeal to the People.
There is courage, patriotism and magnanimi-
ty sufficient yet remaining, to sustain the Gov
eminent. Unborn millions are involved in the
issue. There are fathers enough who feel for
their children, to rescue the nations honor from
the selfish grasp of politicians. The majority
in Congress and the partisan journals do not in
dictate the true sentiment of the nation. Both
will be displaced by the People. The People,
the farmers, merchants and mechanics do not
desire war-and we hope and believe it can be
averted without dishonor-but they will freely
shed their blood rather ihan the slightest blot
shall stain the oscutcheon of their country's
glory.
We appeal to the People!
