Thus breaches the augusta (Me.,) Age.
Let US see, whether we cannot preach a
counter sermon, quite as instructive.
The Wing journals are not in the least
alarmed or indignant at the idea, preached
by the Democratic press, that the United
States Senate should institute rigid scruti-
ny into the appointments of General TAY-
loR. The idea is highly agreeable to them.
Investigation is what they most desire, for
they know that exposure Of the shortcomings
Of removes will surely take place. They
are perfectly willing, that the new nominees
should be subjected to the test Of the standard
Of "honesty, capacity and fidelity" set up
by the Inaugural, because they have no fear
Of the result. They believe that none Of the
nominees will be found deficient in these es-
sential requisites. They invite investigation
into the causes Of the discriminate reno
walls made by the Administration because they
know that it will show up the hypocrisy ofthe
JAcKsoN-PoLK dynasty, and the corruption
Of the cabal Of the Hermitage and Shockoe
Hill. They go for searching investiga-
ton into the manner in which the confirming
power will be exerted by Democratic SEN
ate, whose practices-if the counsel Of the
Democratic press shall be followed-sshall
be SO widely at variance with those pursued
byt, when Democratic President execu-
ted the office ofChief Magistrate. il any
Of the appontees Of President TAYLOR can
not endure the test Of the Inaugural, the
Wing papers say let them be rejected and
il the Democratic Senate should exceed its
constitutional powers, then say we, let the
constituency apply the remedy. If any
Democrats have been removed for purely
political opinions sake, the knowledge Of
that fact is due to them as well as to the
whole country, say the Wing press. And
il the whole proposed policy to be pursued
by the Democratic Senate, be mere fraud
to blind the eyes Of the people to the DISCUS
ting hypocrisy Of the spoils-loving Demo-
crazy, great good viii be effected by such
a discovery General TAYLOR asks no ia
vors Of the Democracy or any one else.
He stands proudly by his banners, defying
the worst vengeance Of his opponents and
scorning to complain at the tiger-lke ieroci-
ty with which he is pursued by the Demo-
cratic press He has abundantly proved
how mighty he is, when contending in prac-
tice against his foes. But the Democratic
leaders must not expect that his magnanmi-
ty extends TO an endorsement of the calnm-
