Federal Appointments.

4 portion Of the Democratic Papers
throughout the country. appear to feel
very indignant at the rejection sy the
United States Senate Of the appoint
ments of President Johnson. They
appear to hold the opinion. that the
Senate has no other duty % perform
IN that particular, than to confirm the
appointment Of any nan who Is select
ed bv the president. Il is well known
that the President and the Senate
differ as widely in Political matters,
as DO the Republican and Democratic
parties Mr. Johnson, elected to the
Office which resulted Il. his elevation
to the Presidency, IN very many in
stances has made aPpoInt1 ents from
persons who have from the first op-
posed the principles of the party by
which he was elected, and i could not
reasonably be expected that the Senate
would confirm their political oppo-
nents. Persons who acted with the
Republicans at the time Of the election
of Mr.. Johnson, but have since pre-
ferred to leave their former political
associates and act with their oppo-
nents have no more claims upon the
Senate for continuation, than those
who have always acted with the De-
mocracy. The Senate has just as
much right to insist upon the appoint
ment Of It's political friends as has Mr.
Johnson, and as It requires both the
President and the Senate to Eli the
several Federal Offices Of q certain
grade. il is just as much the right Of
the Senate to say who shall hold the
Offices, as il is Of the President
Whenever the Democrats come into
power in Legitimate way, the Re
Publicanz viii not object TO their Civ
ing the Offices to their party friends,
but when the Republicans are IN pow
er they claim the same right for them
selves. Because Andy Johnson has
battered away his principles { If he eva
he'd any, } to opponents of the party
that elected him. Is no reason why all
<he Federal Offices should be given to
the Copperheads. We believe the
Senate acts right in insisting upon
the appointment of friends to the par
ty IN power, to the Offices that come
before them for confirmation. They
certainly have the power. and viii ez-
ercise it.
