You have, from time TO time, commented
Iupon the character Of the appointments
made by the President Of the United States.
Taking into consideration the resolutions
adopted by the Baltimore Convention, which
placed Franklin Pierce in nomination; his
subsequent Of those sentiments
lnpon accepting the sane, and his still later
enunciatiou Of them through bis inaugural
laddresss those appointments. o. many Of
them at least, do seem strange and unac-
countable. They seem strange and unae-
countable inasmuch as they give the lie d.
rect, il may be allowed the expression, to
all his boasted declarations to the measures
known as the Compromise and to''his vaunt-
ed attachment to the inviolability ofthe ma
tional compact
While he has, in almost every instance at
the North, appointed men to office from the
ranks ofthose who "spit upon the PLATFORM
! he has in the South appointed them from the
ranks of the nullifiers, secessionists, &C.,
who have compassed heaven and earth to
) burst assunder the ties which binds us to-
gether as one people, and which cement this
IfriA H. L
Extraordinary, and it has been the cause of
much astonishment and ddissatisfaction-nay
Of modification to those who have been in
strumental in electing him. II was not what
: was expected Of Franklin Pierce by the de-
mocracy of the Union. 1t was not what was
expected by the democracy Of single State,
that cast its vote for him at the last cleo
ton. They have been sorely disappointed
in the man.
l am well aware, Mcssrs. EIitors, OF the
difficulties and perplexities incident to a
proper discharge Of the duties of the appoint
ing power; and can, therefore, make due
allowence for the inju1icious appointments
sometimes made by the Executive. Do the
best he can, he will not unfrequently make
, improper selections, and thus give great DIS
6 satisfaction to those who are more immed-
ately interested in the same. This is to be
!, expected; but 1t is not to be expected that
the Chief Executive officer of this govern
ment will so far forget what is due to his
country, to proclaim his adherence to on
set OF principles, and to carry into practical
operation another and entirely different set
8 lis not expected that he will endorse the
i platform, and appoint to Office those who
E ''spit upon it." It not expected that he
q will, IN his Inaugural, denounce aboltionsts
as "Janatics," and then, Immediately there
upon appoint such fanatics to Office in pre-
: ference to those who have ever sto01up
4 manfully in the support OF the democratic
! principles which were laid down at BaI.i-
more, rs the platform upon which all ma
tional democrats could stand, from Mime to
California. In fine, 1t is not expected, es-
| pecially in a President who processes in his
, Inagural to have such profound sense of
| his obligations to the "mlsses" to set aside
, on all and every occasion the will ofthe
masses when it has been fully and unequv-
ocaily expressed in legible characters, by
/ the thousands, to the recommendation OF
> individuals for Office, that he might reward
? those who thus repudiate the national plat
form. Neither is it expected that when the
t people in their primary assemblies go
through all the form1iities Of an election to
4 ascertain the sense Of the masses, that a
0 democratic President will set at defiance all
3 such popular demonstrations and appoint an
: individual whom the people have never re-
commended. Such has been the case in too
: many instances all over the country. II this
/, 10 democracy the people have been deceived
. and humbugged. They have SO learned de-
0 mocracy. Such an exempli6cation ofdemoc-
$ racy will not be sustained in Ohio. II will
1 not be sanctioned or sustained anywhere
i where public servants are held responsible
q for their actions; and unless | am very much
. mistaken in my estimate THE intelligence
e of the people..and their feelings upon the sub
9 ject, as manifested all around me. Pres-
( dent Pierce will be held to a rigid account
{ ability for the manner in which he has dis
{ charged the trust committed to him. State
. pride may save him, from the just denunca-
tions of an outraged people as was the case
recently in New Hampshire; but the democ-
! racy of .tier StdteS are not thus to be intim-
!, idated. In due time they will speak out in
/ language not to be misunderstood. At pre-
sent there is a calm, but it is the calm which
) precedes the storm which will overwhelm
I and shipwreck the hopes Of the unskiliful pi-
{ lot who now attempts to direct the ship oi
: State without charts or compass. Even the
E press gang whom he has subsidized, and who
command the small boats, now obeying their
D masters orders with alacrity, will be little
i service to him in such an emergency. These
D political buccaneers who are now on n free
& boating expedition, with the flag of the Un-
ion floating over their piratical craft, will
d be driven hither and thither by the storm
0 that is coming, and which will eventually
t strand them upon the shores Of political SER
I Witty. There will be fainting times then
' all around, the like Of which was never wit
!, messed in Mexico.
