! APPOINTING NTs TO OFFICE. Some of the journals
hostile to the administration and TO the men selected
by it for high and important public trusts, being IN
alb e to find any other fault either in the announced
policy or the executive action of the President, have
engaged in the fabrication and circulation OF rumors

only been urged upon gentlemen selected for them but
that they have been profeed and accepted upO1
conditions prescribed to the appointing power 10
say that every such inslnuatlon ls In all It's parts,
without the least shadow of foundation either intact
or appearance, is only to affirm what every of
sense, be he democrat wing, understanding any
thing of the character either OF the President OF or
his cabinet we'll knows to be true. But the point
in the is, that all such impuatons would be, If
true, and in far they might have any. and the
slightest foundation in fact. utterly discreditabe to
the administrations All this the authors Of such ia
bricalions well know, and it is by reason Of this
know ledge that the avowed concealed enemies of
the Presdent-and they enly-resort 10 this most
transparent and contemplate trick.
Fortunately, neither the President nor his admins
traton require any other shield from all such insidI-
attacks than that which is furnished by their own
position and character. The executive government
of the United States, the hands of President. call

reclamation of the American people, is not likely TO
be reduced 10 the necessity Of entreay 10 secure the
services of men amply qualified 10 perform all pub
