THE CHARACTER OF THE APPOINTMENTS.


In examining the subjects of complaint against the Presi-
dent and the administration, find prominent amongst
them the character of the appontees to office.
In regard this complaint confidently assume that in
the choice of public the body the people demand
only the democratic test Is he capable honest and
faithful to the constitution ?D That the officers appointed
by President such the people require felt and
demonstrated in the ability with which their duties are
everywhere performed and the harmonious action which
prevails throughout the mulfarious and diversified
branches of the public service Their integrity has been
manifested by the detection Of long list of habitual frauds
upon tho government and the prosecution and conviction
Of the offenders the proptess anq accuracy shcA their
reports returns and accounts exhibit prove The sense OF
their responsibility which universally prevails and their
ready and cooperative subordinaon the strict accounts
ability which they held is the surest pledge Of their
fidelity to the constitution and the laws.
Who, then the compainants, who vex the air and
burden the press with their clamors? Certainly not the
body of the people Certainly class our enterprsng,
useful industrial producing population Does the mer-
chant the trader the manufacturer, The mechanic, the
farmer the operative the laborer the scholar the soldier
or the sailor complain No of all these Who then,
malcontcnts? The disappointed politicians and
none other These are not statesmen they 4re para
Sites whose patriotism rises beyond the ambition for
place with view to emoluments, lawful and unlawful,
which it offers Jealous Of their feow-ctzens ntrused
with office they would sacrifice their best friend to procure
his position.
What contrast to these the thousands of able and
patriotic men, whose honorable aspirations have been
cessariy disappointed partake the sentiment uttered
by the patriotic Greek the loss of his election l thank
the gods that Sparta has many worther sons To such
the people know how to do gscl, and heF aspir-
ons fail of success when the public service requires
their aid.
But the class of dscontents of whom have spoken
unworthy of the public confidence They the wouldbe
arisocrats Of the republic who demand n the emoumens
public service without capacity to them who aspire
to all the offices without qualifications to i them, and
claim all the honors without the virtue deserve them
What en their present aims9 In their own phrase,
to break down the administration And What does This
meanY To deprive It OF the confidence and consequently
the support of the people render inefficient TO promote
the public good in order that general discomfort and dis
may prevail Upon its ruins they hope to rise into
power and place.

CAPE FEAR BILL.

Most of the Washington correspondents for the distant

show how clearly the bill was entitled to the Presidents
approval While the general subject of rivers and har-
