THE FLAG FLYING.

"We suspect Mr.. Tyler will find it much more
party in this country"
Such is the language Of the Richmond En-
quirer Of the Goth February, and we desire Mr..
Richie distinctly to understand that no such
line of policy has, been adopted, either by the
President or his friends. He knows, and they
know, that there can be but two parties in the
country-dn administration party, and an
Opposition party. And we say, without qua
LITIGATION or reserve, that, whether man shall
have heretofore called himself Wing or Demo
cra he can only be known now as aanced to
the Administration party, or the Opposition par
IT, Mr.. Benton is understood to be opposed to
the Administration, and so is Mr. Clay. They
belong, therefore, to the same party-the OPP
position pary-however much they may differ
between themselves upon points Of policy.
We have thrown out the broad banner Of the
Administration, which has inscribed upon it
"REPUBLICANISM AND THE GOOD
OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY )" and who
soever shall rally to that banner will be regarded
by US as brethren in politics, and will be treated
accordingly Let the extremes wage their war
unitedy, if they please; we say to them, and
TO all men, that there can be but two parties in
the countryside administration party and
the Opposition party. This alone has been
the condition of parties heretofore, and this alone
can be the condition Of parties hereafter.

THE INDEPENDENT PRESS AND THE AID.
MlNISTRATION

That the Independent Press ofthe great cities
should be assailed with contemptuous contume-
y, and most recklessly slandered by the corrupt
and decaying mammoth political sheets, is, under
existing circumstances by no means surprising
occurrence. That these mammoth sheets (po
litical) should charge the President, who crush
ed the head of the serpent that was wont to sup
ply them with aliment, with "bribery and cor
ruption," was nothing more than what every
sagacious politician expected as matter of
course. They are daily in the habit of branding
the hero of New Orleans, venerable ex-Presl-
dent, trembling on the brink of the grave, as a
''knave," ''dotard," a "despot''-and boldly as
sorting that the Representatives of the People
in Congress assembled, are ''drunkards, idiots
and blackguards," the ''hired tools and slaves Of
British capitalists, &c. &C." OF course the
President could not escape their ISLANDERS and
anathemas
But what is the import of this new move-the
war against the Independent Press-and what
will be the result?
We will first describe the nature of the sup
port given to the Administration by the Ildepen-
dent Press, and then predict the result Of the
war.
The Independent Press has not assumed a
partisan attitude We hope it never will We
trust it will never be so prostituted to the pur-
roses Of cliques and demagogues, as TO advocate
men, right or wrong, for the sake OF party 1t
has not done this: bul it has dared TO approve
nleasures-the measures thata suffering country
demands-regardless Of the source whence they
emanated, even if they must stand between the
wind and the nobility of certain aristocratic
bankrupts. 1t has dared, IN all the large cities,
10 spread before the People, without reference to
party, faithful synopsis of all the measures
contemplated by the Administration for the re-
lief of the People. The People approve the
Presidents course, and encourage their indie
pendent papers TO speak out boldly on matters
Of public utility, without fear favor or affection

panic among schemng cliques, and the conster
