PRESIDENTIAL CONSISTENCY.

duel, saHsyei about the same time appointing
GeoIge w. Jones, second to Mr.. Ciiiey in the
duel with M. Graves, 10 the important trust Of
Surveyor General Of Iowa.
II duelling constitutes an objection sufficiently
strong 10 ous from Office, ii should be equally
slrcug in making appointments. But We OBJ
serve The same Inconsistency Of character, still
further illustrated 10 the appointment BY Presi-

killed an editor in New Orleans 10 a duel,
for some slight offence given him; in certain
structures upon his public conduct, who hss7Sre-

We find also, that rhe(President SIN continues
