Only ADMINISTRATION

My Administration" as MIR Tyler would say
Is now iully under way. The Cabinet is complete
ana every member 10 at his post. As wo are no,
particularly eonversNni with Court terms, we copy
nom tue Executive organ, the announcement of the
oesinnins oithe new order OF things.
The Cabinet is said to bc able and patrouc-ol
that we shall judge 10y its fruits. 1t is said to bc
formed exactly to suit the Presidents as,e-that VIC
should infer from his selecting them. All, excep,
one, were Jackson men aud hostile to MIR Clay
which would imply that il was constructed upon
the narrow basis Of hostility to that lus;rous pat
riot. All, 1t is said. acknowledge tho Executive
supremacy, and "rccosnisc the President as their
ChIei"-a compliment ola, eas, cquivocal import,
ana not likely specially to commend the Cabinet to
inc confidence OF the Wings of the Union.
But we are prepared, Notwithstanding these in.
suspicious Indications to give to the Cabinet a ior
anu even partial trial. Ii they soar beyond the
contracted views, which the circumstances under
winch they take office, would impute to them, and
pursue with zeal the substantial happiness and pros
Per''y of the country, they shall have the support
OF this Journal. But il on the other hand. they
prove dereict to principle and manifest an eager
ness TO promote the pal,ry ends Of a selfish am
oiuon, We stand ready to condemn. /, is I'm, too
probable, that the path Of the new Cabinc, is be.
set with difficulties. Ii there be any truth in the
revelations OF MIR Ewing, their "Chielr is no, a very
reliable parsonage. There are unofficial advisers

the gentlemen composing the two Cabinets-thero

They care nothing Tor Mr. Tyler or the country

upper cabinet, even at the risk of losing their places
will rebel against this kitchen dic.a,ion. Tbcv wi,
