OF success 10 retain persons known TO be under the

10 mention that General Hauisons and GENERAL Taylor's
administrations the most proscrptve in our annals,
airms that the President, when member OF Congress
in 1884, repudiaed the policy OF General Jackson, and bit
tery denounced The remarks made by the wings in that
year This is not true. Gen. Pierce did denounce
General Jackson for the manner in which he employed
the patronage conhded him The statement is false
has not the shadow OF foundation TO resi- upon.
General Pierce did not denounce General Jackson
He denounced the course pursued by the wings in
ls4l. but not, as the Louisville Journal says, Tor
removing enemies from office General Pierce leveled
his denancations at the fasehoois Of the wing leaders
In the of their party, they had promised in 1910 to
prescribe prescription, and TO bring about new order
OF things; bot they obtained power IN lsfl,
they repudated their PROMISES and commenced the work
of prescription, in spirit OF reckless vindictveness
which has been surpassed in violence only by General
TayloIs administration. II the fasehood and fraud
of the whg party-he game by which il obtained pow
er by false pretences-hat General Pierce assaied in
1884, He did no, denounce General Jackson for regard
ing the obvious elements OF but he denounced the
wing dynasty for pursuing course which it had prom
sed the people not pursue In ls4S the wings repeat
ed with increased earnestness the pledges which they
made in 1910 and in ls49 they tramped them under foot
with even more readiness than in ls4 Every removal
made by the caba that msused the confidence and abused
the simplicity Of General Taylor, assaled the character
or capacity Of every officer il removed and in making
appointments showed but little regard for the public
interests fact which is fully atested by the confusion
which prevails the public business, the amount of the
public expenditure and the corrupt OF the public
nys exposed in the last four years We have had
to know something of whig audacy; but with the cam
pagn OF 1885, and The erocity of the wing administration
fresh in the minds Of the people, not prepared
for the GOODNESS with which portion OF the whg journals
speak Of the liberal manner which opposition should
be treated and the oblivion OF party differences which
should prevail when Offices TO be bestowed. There
were more removals, we believe, during the first six
months Of General Taylor's administration than under
every democratic administration since the foundation OF
the government AS specimen of the liberali,y which
prevailed under the mild rule of the nopary dynasty,
