i, stand, 10 the highest appreciation. There is a
'eeided majority OF the people Of the Union, which

right deserving Of and entitled to, the public conn

in an eminent degree. The people are sasisheo
with their present Executive. Even those VINO

which public opinion has pronounced. 10 terms not

country, have acquiesced in the present order oi
things and are disposed to give To the Chief Nlagis

We trust that the tondness for censure and yitupea

more elevated character. and that personal disap

to cooperate in all measures which are obviously
for the good of the Union. One fact is indisputa
Bile the people never be brought to sustain the
views OF few Interested partsaHs, operated on
merely by personal considerations. These men
may, indeed, raise stormy atmosphere immediate

great excitement; but beyond the limits OF that cir

of their delegates with calm and scrutinizing ludg

which parties stand or fall, must rest.
Nat. Journal
Notwithstanding what others may profess TO be.
lieye, we are decidedly of the opinion that public
sentiment is changing 10 favor OF the adminlstra.
ton in many places Many gentlemen OF respsc-
liability of our own acquaintance, tell US that they
were before deceived into support OF Gen. jack
son that they have since reflected seriously upon
the subject became convinced that they had done
wrong and are now, not only willing to support the
administrations but condemn the opposition that is
made thereto, as iactious and unreasonable In ad
dition 10 this, we are assured OF numerous indvld
uals of distinguished standing and influence in other
stHts who were opposed to the election of Mr.. Ad
ans that are now d. cldediy his friends. And they
ascrbe the change n their opinions to the correct
ness Of the Presidents conduct. TO the general ex-
ccence Of his measures; and also to the violence
that is exhibited by the opposition, aga ms. every
ac of the administration, no r'atier how necessary
or righteous. We believe from what we know,
hs, the people, the honest, the unarnbtious, the
peaceahle and orderly people OF the United States,
agiH rally in support Of an administration, which
has the best interests oi the nation for its object and
which has been for months assailed with fury un-
surpassed. The people arc honest, and ifthey have
once been deceived by the empty professions OF pre-
tended patriots, reflection will them from their
error, and lead them vigorous support of those
,i,tuous rulers who so ably sustain the unsullied
!.ohor uf their country.
