If anything could satisfy us that the men now in
power not qualified for tho responsible stations
which they hold Il IL the gross errors into which they
have already fallen IL the motley organization of the
cabinet which has been formed. But the compost
ton of the cabinet is not the only objection. It's
proscrptve spirit In the face Of its own pedgea and
professons-the removal Of posmasiers through the
land-the nomination OF MeGanghey, Of Penrose,
and Pcnnngton-ihe appointment of Warren, and
his retention In spie Of the accumulated evidence Of
his conduct In Massachusetts and Iowa treat
ment Of Douglass, and OF Stnbbs, and of McCala---
are SO many evidences of the want OF discretion and
Of frmness which marks their COURSE. Union ofyes-
ferday.
We are surprised that the Union does
not see how it exposes its own weakness, in
taking exception to the formation Of the cab
met and in finding such perpetual fault with
The exercise Of the appointing power by the
Administration. 1t has not adduced little
Of evidence in support Of its alleged disqua-
lifcations Of the cabinet, Of the gross errors
which It asserts they have fallen into, Of the
proscriptive spirit which is attributed TO
them, Of the want Of discretion and firmness
Of which they are accused All, all, is as
sertion, bald, bold, ruthless assertion. Does
the Union imagine for moment, that the
Administration would follow its advice II
the Government is so weak, as the Union
asserts it is, il il has committed all the errors
ascribed to It, is not the responsibility on its
shoulders' Opposition TO an administration
is wholesome preventive and even correct
i've Of error, but il seems TO us that the
Union carries its opposition beyond the
bounds Of propriety. It becomes factous,
dictstoral, useless. The country has plainly
signifed its appreciation Of the high qualid-
cations Of the cabinet, ifthe press is any evi-
dencc Of its voice upon the subject. The
exercise Of the appointing power by the Adj
ministration, has also met with almost uni,
versal approval by the nation. Even the
Objectionable nominations in the eyes Of the
Union are not so in the estimation Of candid
men. And as to your Stubbsss, your Nc
Calais, and your Douglasses, the Union may
weep over them till doomsday, its wailings
will find no response among dispassionate
and discreet citizens. Thu displacement Of
these men is evidence TO us Of the highest
discretion and frmness.

AFnTENDLY yINDICATION.

FMIGNDLt vINDACAVAVNs
We cannot refrain from rendering our
sincere thanks 10 the National Inteligencer
of Yesterday, for its just castigation Of the
Unions senseless opposition to the Adminis-
tration, notwithstanding il was administered
over the shoulders Of the National Wing
II has seemed to us, that the Union has
abounded for the last six weeks, with matter
sufficiently tangible even for the digniiied
lashings Of our brother Wing contemporary;
but SO il is, its offences against truth and
even common decency were suffered to pass
by without any animadversion, except what
the National Wing bestowed upon them;
and everything il said was regarded as
vague, until, in luckless moment, it
CHANGED to copy an official list Of appoint
ments in the Post Office Department from
our columns.
For the life OF us, we cannot see how or
wherein we have offended against the Adj
mihistration, for printing that which one Of
its Departments determined should be print
ed The appointments Of Deputy Post
masters by the Postmaster General are Of
the greatest interest TO those concerned,
whether the vacancies to be filled occur in
the regular order of things, or whether they
are created for sufficient reasons BY the ap-
pointing power. The Telegraphic reporters
and Washington letter writer's had, until we
printed and telegraphed the official lists,
which SO much shocked the sensitive nerves
Of the Union, and which appears much 70
our regret, to have met with the disappro-
baton Of our venerable Wing brother, i'm
pressed the country with the belief that Mr..
CoLLAarR was removing his Deputies at
the rate Of thousand per week for political
opinions sake solely. Our publication Of
what was really done, at once dispelled the
error which wac fast taking hold Of mems
minds, and il has been quite as distasteful,
we perceive, to our opponents as to the Ma
lional lntelligencer, though for obviously
different reasons.
But our Wing neighbor insinuates, that
our publication OF these lists tended, in
some degree, 70 impress the public mind with
the notion that the Administration had be-
come proscriptive. Now, we think, that
they have produced the very opposite impress
sion--that the Administration is not proscrip-
tye-which is the truth. The lists themselves
carried with them their own explanations.
They told the precise truth. And as this
| Administration " asks no iavors, and shrinks
from no responsibility" il appears to US, the
policy OF the Postmaster General in permit
| ing these lists to be printed, is "a wise one.
II prevents him from being misrepresented
and placed in false position.
Having indicated the National Wing
from the, doubtless unintentional charge, Of
placing the Administration in q false position,
by doing what we had authority to do, we
take leave Of the subject, with hope that
the next time our neighbor shall have occa-
sion to give the Union Aagelatiou for its
impertinences,it viii not be overthe shoulders
Of the National Wing, that is laboring in
the same cause with its older brother
