PIERCE's APPOINTMENTS.
WHO ARE THE REAL AGITAToRs

WHO ARE THE REAL AGITATORS?
The appointments Of the President are
the only public acts of his that invite scru-
tiny, and their approval or disapproval is
fair question for debate. We have spoken
on this subject, and our remarks have called
forth responses from different quarters.
We propose to continue the subject, and
shall do so by quoting from Pierce organs
and Pierce speakers. The N. Y. Herald
early declared for Pierce, and welded
powerful influence in his behalf. Hear it
now
Briefly, then, the election of Gen. Pierce
was the result Of the sound constitutional
Union principles for which he was distn-
guished, and of the confidence of the people
Ill the assurance that he would make those
principles the distinguishing feature of the
Administration.
/ We are promised that this shall be DONE
Thus far it has not been done. There is,
/ therefore, some reasonable ground of COM
plant with the Union Democrats, that the
lions share of the spoils' has been divided
If the n,rty Iyb;Ie tho oontro thot W..
ways stood in the front, has been moved
back into the rear. Admitting that every
man appointed 10 office will sustain the Ad-
ministraion in maintaining the Compromise
and admitting that it would be bad faith TO
ostracise the Northern and Southern ultras
who contributed to his election, the policy
OF discriminating rather broadly in their ta-

Why he Mr.. Jones was not appointed
postmaster OF Newburgh, no one pretend,
to know. Probably General Pierce himself
would be unable TO give any satisfactory rea'
son for this omission; for it seems to be the
policy Of his administration to lavish most o
the honors and emolnments OF Government
patronage upon political renegadeS-upor
