COLLECTOR OF THE PORT OF TAPPAHANNoCE
The Fredericksburg News takes ding a
rs 10 consequence OF our remarks In regard te
the appointment OF DIR Jefferson Minor, Collec
tor OF the Port Of Tappahannock. We expecle,
a. much
When General Jackson or Martin Van Buren,
appointed any one 10 Office, who had been defeat
I'd in popular election, the Wing party al once
proclaimed il TO be an expression oil contempt ior
the will OF the people. We just waned TO see If
case being altered did not alter the case.
We said nothing that was, or could be disputed
bu, |, is insisted that inasmuch as DR.. Minor
vas candidate for the Senate, some tpo years
since, and then against his wishes, and had every
Season 10 expect 10 be defeated his case forms an
exception. Tne new political statute of lima
lions then, must be understood 10 bar the people'.
will after TWO years. This we presume, musl b.
new law, the offspring OF no-partyism. But III.
Doctor was candidate against his WILL and
the solicitation OF his triends.-Who ever saw
any other sort OF canddale2 Surely this lea
ture In the case does not take lhe appointment on
OF The old Wing rule on The subjec'. Bu h,
knew he would be defeated, "or hal every reason
to expect it"-This is worse and worse, VIII
had be reason to expect defeal2 Our contempt
rary answers the question, when he says that hi
party were 10 minority in the DISTRICT Ar.
they not now in minory2 They most as
suredly are. Then was the appointment, in con
temp. Of The popular will. Would no, an ap
poin,ment uLder Democratic Administration
made under such circumstances, have been so re
garded1
But we are told we are "barking up The wrong
Tree" We think we are right, aud have lreec
that ssame old coon, ""Whieeery," so long notet
ior It's arslullness aud plunderins propensiiies.-
j cannot be denied that The appointment IF DIR
Minor was thoroughly parlizan, as MIR. Web,
sier said OF The nomination OF Gen. Taylcr, "no
iii 10 DO made" II the news would throw aside
personal preference and party prejudice, il wouic
concur with US in saying just what we have
said about it.
But We are told, also. that we have been "steal
ing Wing thunder" Not SO. we came honesll,
by II. Ills daily forged at the White House in
Washington, aud supplied 10 our hands by The
no>pary administration, who, bent upon thei
own ceSIuCltuU, lutuisu Us WIN Tue thunoel
bolts TO hull at their heads. Whom the Gods de-
slroy, they frs; make mad.
From what We have learned, there never was
and We trust never again will be, an adminisira
tion ~ proscrip,ive as The present, which has al
ready made some 5000 removals from Office
More incompetent aud unworthy appointments
too,'perhaps never can be made than many q
those of which are daily hearing. Judging from
the management OF the mails, many of the new
Wing Postmascrs cannot tell The North from
the Sou,h II Eve Ier,<ksburc P.rord.1
