The National Era. the great sbolllion organ al Wash
nston. draws up The following bill OF indictment sgainst
Pierce's administration.
l. The President has carried 10 extreme evil Of
which the country has always been disposed 10 con-
plaalhe appointment 10 Office OF senator's and repre-
sentayes No fewer than eight senators have received
appointments OF great trust or proht, and sill larger
number OF representatives.
q OF The representatives appoint,j, some have been
rejected by the people on account OF Having violated the
pledges regard 10 the slasey question: aud others had
sgnazed themselves by devotion to the slave power

day forty clerks received their dismissal Tor no other rea
son than that they had been appointed under wing adj
minstfauon Some OF them were men advanced IN lie,
with large families, and without any other means oil
support II is for this ruthless prescription TO
say that General Jackson encouraged H. and succeeding
administrations acted upon il IL is criminal, cruel.
and ruinous practice and the President who authorizes
II Just as guilty as II his predecessor had not done the
same Thing. We can understand that political oppo-
nenl may excuse him. because he expects day 10
exchange places and will be glad avail himself OF the
same Internal precedent but cannot unde rstand how
any honest man can apologize Tor him.
4. The President has stretched his power OF removal
in the Of territorial Judges beyond all precedent He
has removed every OF the judges OF every OF the
Territories for assigned and has supplied their
places with judges OF his way OF thinking, thereby
making the territorial courts mere party engines.
Here is series of "pubc official acts which ought
to arouse the Indignation OF honest bat the New
York Tribune does not think that they require or Justly
exposure or reprobauon
1t will be by the Journal Of Saturday that Prem
ce has adopted the programme which Bay, the editor
OF the abolition organ, has laid down. There just
counts in the Era, and the editor of the journal has
also just four--he counts and in The order,
only modifying to suit this latitude. The Era finds
appointments made OF men who violated their pledges al
the behes's OF the slave power-hat i, they didn't go
holt ,ha La ptaa
of the Journal that Pierce has appointed ats
ilioaists to Office The Era makes such charge as
that against Pierce. Indeed he doesn't any such
merit in the President Baily knows who are abolition
lists and who not He knows who the saints and
who the sinners are, and will not be humbugged by the
partisan asan of this latitude.
If Pierce had appointed any aboonis, TO Office. Baily
would have been satisfied II would have covered a
multitude OF sins but be finds such merits to redeem
the dement's pointed out
The appointment OF congressman to Office may be an
evil but candid will hardly expect the practice be
repudiated A President finds it perpexing task TO
make suitable appointments Office and il he does Sc
lect he has most personal knowledge OF, it ought
not surprise Besides these members of Congress
have been endorsed by The people, and how can the
people ondemn the PresdeBtior trusting they have
endorsed
Then this prosc Lion for opinions sake, this equal

plain To be sure the editor of the Journal has raise
howl in The face of his experience in be last four
years Why, The impudent creature is now revelling 10
the spoils OF Office which he got away from solely
the ground Of opnion-because he was wing and we
a democrat
Whilst thus revealing and luxuriating in the enjoyment
OF emolumeu!s expense, here. right our face he
has The autacty 10 condemn and vtuPeraie Pierce for
prese ming the wings cbace 10 their own lips
The Journal is in The habit of railing at Of
fences of which be is specially guilty. How happened

Amt you pretty specimen OF bped rail al equal

and we call upon you to fork all your -go,,en

This count brought the notice OF the editor OF the
New York Tribune but Greeley didn't take the idea that
the man who only follows the example is as bad as he
that it, He didn't expcc, anything else than that wings
would be removed om office, and he declines kicking
up dus, about it.
We in The prog ammes that the Rave power is not
prescribed, and this is Of the sins be rallied al The
editor does this under the plea of Furnishing disunionss
A large number South thought the South Jared badly
in the late contest, and they disposed TO resent it,
They asserted State rights with great vehemence. and
coniended that there in our system OF government
peaceabe remedy Tor insuderable wrongs that they
could walk out OF the Union il they could do no better
Their energetic conduct checked The progress OF aboli

prescribed traitors under the plea that they are dis
unonists, and he rails Pierce daily for appointing
them 10 Office. He had rather have The milk and cider
fellows put in ohce-such wings in Kentucky who
voted for The Wlmot proviso. who travel over 10 In
diana and Ohio and preach abo,ionism These are the
chaps who will not make fuss If the North does en-
croach upon The South They will compromise and give
all away, and make trouble. Upon the whole the
Journal accepts and endorses The abolition programme
agains, the administration and copies il very faith fully
only expanding little here and there TO suit the ati-
tude.
Let the Journals readers note that this is abolition
programme OF objections. The abolition editor wonders
that his friend Of The Tribune don't take up the cudgels
against Pierce's Administrations. Heinves to the ARRAY
This shows that the aboionis,s highly displeased
They abolition appointments. They know their
men and this shows the absurdity OF all the Journals
railing about The appointment, of abolitionisis.
