WING about the frcsiucn Al
pOintments.
The wigs aud their slors the old iederass have
committed many errors account of their ignorance OF
the people They have always believed thai The great
mass Of The people could easily be deceived by humbug
Their clamor about the distribution Of the appointments
shows that they believe that the people care more about
lew paiy offices than they do about the honor and
welfare oil the country. On this, many other sub
Jects. these whig writers show their ignorance The
great mass OF the American people, the democracy Of The
country. care very very little about who is appointed
collector or POSTMASTER provided he is honest and
competent man. Under the last administration the whole
country dsgaced by the infamous conduct of men
IN high places Fraud, plumber. and pecuslion pervaded
almost every department of the government from men,
beers oil The cabinet down 10 posasters and building con
tractors The great object OF those in Office under Mr.
Fillmore was TO put money in their purse and whilst
they attend TO this. they suffered czens TO be butch.
cred on foreign Shores our flag 10 be nsued and our
nation disgraced. We DO not accuse Mr. Fillmore of
punderng from The treasury HIMSELF but he suffered TO
be done by those Immediately under his CONTROL aud
the disgrace i'll always adhere to his administration
When franklin Pierce elected President. the people
expected that he would correct these abuses They expect
ed he would dive GU, the money changers from the temple
oil freedom, and I'LL their places with honest, capable
men. II he does this, it is all they ask. They will not
ask from what particular division OF the democra
party the man was taken, but sis he honest, is he
capable ;" is the important question with them. II is Of
very little importance to The people whether gets
an Office whether he formerly Stale rights or
Union man; il he is good, efficient, honest democrat,
they will be satisfied The clamor raised by The wings
about the Presidents appointments 10 Office is all
humbug They have pretended that he has appointed
any TO Office that is incompetent OF dishonest They
dare not make such charge. They say the Presden,
has appointed Ssiefgbs democrats to Office at the
South than Union democrats. We have shown, in a
former number, that this statement was false. The
Union democrats have had their full proportion of Offices
according TO their numbers On this subject we call the
attention OF readers 10 an article from the Boston Post
in gu present number But whether they have had their
full proportion, double their proportion consider OF
very little consequence The great object with the Presi
deal aad people have the offices filed with good and
competent There is mol more than five or six Offices
in Georgia al the disposal of the President that worth
having II the wings believe that the great democratic
party OF Georgia will be excited and divided about the
distribution Of these five crumbs they will be dis
appointed The democracy did not elect Gen. Pierce
President merely TO distribute the crumbs OF office They
elected him to watch and prolec, The homo. and in
eresis of the republic, and whilst he does this they will
not be very solcilous whether he appoints southern
rights Union man postmaster. 1t will be observed
that nearly quite all the complaints about the appoint
ments 10 office come from the whgs. Not democratic
paper in Georgia is making any complaint. We never
expected the President would please the wings in the
lection OF his officers II would have been very bad
sign il he had. They were pleased with the Gardiner
the aphiD, and the Csrwin administration and would
have been very strange il they had been satisfied with
President Pierce. The result of all The elections tina
have taken place since Gen Pierce inaug rated
proves conclusivey that the people pleased with bis
administration
With these substantial evidences of his popularity be-
fore our eyes, we are willing the wings should grumble
about his appointments much they please. Ihe
great anxiety about the distribution OF Offices very sus
picious. Why should they which wing of the de
mocracy gets the largest share of The spols Their sym
patty is believed TO be sel6shness in Disguise They
would be willing 10 join any party any faction tha
would place them in power. They wish TO them
selves hence their sympathy for disappointed Office
They are constantly asserting that The people are
dissatisfied with General Pierce, and yet every election
the people have shown that they perfectly satisfied
with General Pierce, bat disguised with whiggery Dc
these wing writer's ever rtf.cll II they did
they would learn that the very clamor they have rai.ed
against the President has been the strongest proof 10 the
great macs OF the people that he is doing right II the
friends the admirers, and the participants OF the Corwo
and Gall hin frauds should be satisfied with Gen Pierce
honest men might well fear that something was wrong
bat when the Corwins and Galphins complain the REQ
pie know tina, their President is doing his duty
