MARCUS MORTON, JR

TAYLOR Consistency. Gen Taylor came into
power under pledges repeatedly given, that he was no
party man--lhat he would administer the governs
ment for The benefit Of any party and that there should
be no prescription for opinions sake under him. His
Secretary Of State j. NJ Clayton, who spoke fol- him Oh
everal-occaSons, said, in Of his speeches
"There Is another platform; it is that of an
honest man, who says he is wing, butt ii elected
to the presidency he will not be the toolo
party-that he has no enemies to punish, no
friends to re,cdrd-that while he will do his du-
ty in removing corrupt incompetent, and unfaith-
full men from Office, he will not be the supporter
OF that infamous system OF prescription, which
distributes the public Offices OF the country as the
spoils OF victory-that he will this and on all
other subjects endeavor TO restore the govern
ment of the country to the principles OF the con-
stitution.''
Now, what are the principles of the constitution here
alluded to, as understood by John Nj. Clayton, and as
sanctioned by the Wing party with which The Taylor
party claims to be dentca Let US see On the Goth
of January, 1882, Thomas Ewing, ole of Taylors
Cabinet introduced the following resolution into the U
S. Senate
esResolved That the practice of removing pub
lie officers, by the president, for any other pur.
pose than that OF securing faithful execution of
the laws, is hostile to the spirit of the Constitu
AIOu was HctCF Wy us )
is an extension OF executive influence, prejudlcia
to the public service, and dangerous TO the liber
tiesot the people" &c., &c.
On the 10Th of March, 1884, Henry Clay Introduced
the folowing:'
"Resoiped, That the Constitution of the United
States does not vest in the president power to re-
move at his pleasure, officers under the govern
ment of the United States, whose offices have
been established by law"
John NJ Clayton advocated both Of these resolutions
and voted for them, as did the other wing me MIXERS OF
the Senate. Thus we have the opinion dis ncdy given
and solemnIy recorded, under the sanction OF an oath
John NJ. Clayton and Thomas Ewing personally and
through their representatives, in The Senate Of the whole
wing party Yet at this time Gen Tay lor's cabinet un,
der the name of wings, and with these as mem
bers of it, are en- aged in system OF prescription more
wide spread, thorough, and relentless than ever was
dreamed of by any other administration They are
acting in direct opposition to the principles Of the cons.
