Our opponsnts just row are protesting to feel much
enxist relative TO the consistency Of the Pfssdest
elect and OF them, at least affect 10 enterisn the
belief that General PIkRCE mplsdy pledged against
the system Of removals from office which, nswithstand
ing the profsssioa 10 the contrary prior his eleetios
was the earliest CHARACTERISTIC of Gen. TArLsRs, ae
cession to the Presidency. As for their grau
tous inerenoes, the whis papers publishing Nth

speech ITSELF in their position upon this subject. qu0
