The appointments of the administration contln-

feature of Gen. Piercss Administration. Indeed,
It is the most important feature which distinguishes
i, from that of some of hls predecessors, and the
spOils seem to be the only public concern which
attract his marked attention. Not satisfied with
dealing out the large offices, he, through his Sec
retaries, subdiyides them among the factions, and
would have his highest appointeeS but the mere

promoIiou. In the Office question Gen. Pierce
has shown, most remarkable energy, seldom
eouaIled, never surpassed. In this department he
has found his field, and on this field he never wea-
