Clearly II is TO inquire into every cause Of removal
when they are asked 10 confirm an appointment, and
TO set that appointment aside, II they conscientious
" believe the officer removed 10 have discharged the
duties Of his Office with Honesty capacity, and fidelity.
Jackson Miss, lHississippian.
Certainly, this Is the duiy Of the Senate. IL has
always been its duty tho Il has not performed II
as scrupulously perhaps Ms Il might have done. We
sure the Administration does not expect the SEN
ate to confirm amy Of It's appointments, unless II Is
persuaded that they ought to be confirmed. Gen.
TAYLOR Is too much Of Republican, to desire the
Senate to pass his nominees, because they are his.
He does bio duty aud expects the Senate 10 do It's
duy This Is the doctrine Of his Allison letter and
ofhls Inaugural We have no fears that the Democra-
tic Senate win make afactions opposition to the Adj
minstration. Il win be apt TO be reminded Of the
result Of the same kind Of opposition made by for
mer Wing Senntes TO Democratic Administrations

Keep your penny, sir. Wen tell you gra.i,.
General TAyIon considers the result Of the Virginia
Congressional election as demonstration, that the
people Of that State preferred 10 entrust the making
Of Federal laws, 90 far as their voice should 60 to
Democrats rather Than TO Wings, which decision
they had right to mike, and which does not give
either the President or his Administration the least
regret or uneasiness. The cardinal feature Of this
Administration is-tat the people must be suffered
10 rule themselves, by means of the machinery,
which the Constitution and the laws have devised.
We hope you are satisfied, brother Free Press.

Gen. TAvLoa, In the same district, received 1856
votes, and Gen. Cass, 2,s32-TAyLon's majority be-
ing l24. II VIII be seen from this, that PowELL
gained over CAss 304 votes while GoaoIs got 70
more than TAYLOR. Now, we should Ike to see,
how the Union will be able TO cypher on, of these
elements the proof of It's assertion that the Demo-
Gratis, who voted for TAyLoR, have gone back In
order to rebuke him for prescription
II EDWARD w. LINCOLN, the new Postmaster
Of Worcester, Mass, thus engages the good jidg-
ment of the Egis:
q Mr.. Lincoln wasan early and vigorous friend to
Gen. Taylor as public man. In those political
change of administration, is proper that civil trust
should be conferred upon friends rather than oppo-
nents and equally proper, that those who took q
bold and manly ground in the start, should be 10

III The very best retort that we have seen, any
where, upon the horror Of Office entertained by our
opponents is the following from the Nashville,

1.-THE Nashville Union, speaking OF removals from
Office by the present Administration, says We do

All which General TAYloR possesses In nm eminent
degree, as we have right TO infer. from the con-

which are the obvious results Of the operation Of
these two chief elements.

Surveyor Of that Port This Is deserving tribute
from an opponent Of gentleman, who has won for
himself the most eminent distinction as writer and

TAYLOR assured the late marshal Of South Alabama
at Pascagonla, last October, that he should not be
removed. Last Octoberl Why If we remember
Alright, Gen. TAYIoR was not then President. Be
more careful Of yonr Dates Mr., Register, the next
time you attempt to trump up such fabrication.
