THIS MIN!STRATION.

MT Haywood, OF ". T., on account OF GER
tain eIer written him, in which he denoun-
ces he conducto of The" Hing Administrations
as he is pleased 10 call it, The Richmond
Whig pleads most zealously against the Wing
party being regarded as responsible for the acts
of III Administration, except during the thirty
days that Gen. Harrison presided. Now, no
one lids IN greater reverence the memory OF
that distinguished and lamented man than our
selves but we must say that The mschieyous
mea ure Of The extra session was resolved up
on during that thirty days-and Mr.. Tyler, we
have good reason 10 know although in the city,
was not consult about il. That was Wing
measure, and the Richmond hig may boast
OF IT. merits much ii peases.
We ask neither " higs nor Democrats to hold
themselves responsible before The country for
what this Administration has done. Let all the
blame and censnre fall on the heads Of those ac-
tually concerned in the administration of af.ir
Let all the censure be visited on the head of the
President; he desires no party, which is I'M
wiling 10 do SO, to take any portion of either
the credit or the blame. And yet we believe
that il the Wing party could now undo what il
was led 10 commit under the dicta,ion Of its ar
rogant leader, whatever prelence it might make
10 the contrary, it would give much, and submit
TO almost anything. How resistess would il
not feel itself TO be, if il could only go before
The People with the British Treaty in its hands,
and be enabled to say " here is a consumma-
ton, which the skill of no other Administration
could accomplish, effected by our Administra-
ion III hat ,,r ST. a
triumph would il point to Florida, now smiling
and pro perous, but late the scene of massacre
and bloody strife. How boas,iully would it tell
OF the settlement of the claims on Mexico?
Where would be the end Of its vaun,ing, if il
could refer to the present condition Of the coun-
try, and compare il to what it was in 1910?
How would it exult in pointing TO the heaps of
gold piled up in the principal cties--to the busy
quay, the 'hronged streets, the pleasing smiles
once more lighting up the faces of our business
men, and the esIoration of individual and State
credit? How com lacently would it mention
the activity at this moment displayed at New
Orleans, thing unusal at this season Of the
yea, and almost without precedent How
would it boast OF the reduction of governmental
III
Drag Of the credit of the Federal Government,
rescued from the mire of disgrace, and placed
upon the lottiest footing?
Nor would the Wing party forget to remem-
Der the rigid system of accountability which
has been introduced, and the fact as one of its
results, OF The absence of all default on the part
of the receiving and disbursng agents. But

boast of; they can only below forth their
complaints about The Vetoes, AMI try to
argue the People into the belief that all
the powers of the Government ought TO be
centred in mere legislative majority, or rather
placed in the hands of midnight caucuses These
are the poor themes on which they have to
dwell, and while they attempt 10 stand upon
them, the ground has nea.Iy moved from under
their feet.
Aud we opine that ere they get through the
angry contest which is now impending owe,
ilem the Democratic leaders would be most
happy TO claim the fruits OF the administrative
policy as their own. Mr.. Haywood himself
may be willing TO cease his sneers al an Admin
lstratlon which in future Times may, and we
one of the standard Democratic Adm,nistra-
tons. What has Mr. Haywood TO stand upon
when he shall go before the People to claim
their support2 Can he expect success by des-
crlblng the condition of things in lS4O2 Will
the naked hard-money, gold and silver Sub
Treasury, with It's ifon safes and strong boxes,
save the Democratic party in the awful trial
which awaits it 2 1t may be so but il seems
TO us that contest between the monster Bank,
promising its millions to the ndigeut classes.
and Z" The HARD," which promises nothing but
hard tlmes-bots alike condemned by the Peo-
pe-would be the most extraordinary battle
ever fou lhI OIL he face Of The earth
No, ye IRA political Spectators on all sides,
when you have occasion TO assail The Admins
tration, assail it as he TYLER ADMINS
TRATlON-an Administration sustained by
mere Corpora's Guard" in the two Houses,
and yet redeemihg the Government from The
errors Of the past-acting solely for The good of
The country.
The People begin TO understand these things,
and wherever they have been brought before
them openly and candidly by It's real friends, the
Administration has been sustained by the p,
pie. II has much cause TO complain we doubt
not, oil many IN office, who, with hypocrisy at
their hearts, and It's smiles upon their lips. have
rather sneered at its claims TO support than
spoken out manfully for it, Blu, the mist is
now clearing away, and we do not doubt but
that the Chef Magistrate will act in regard 10
all such, with decision and frmness. A man
who violates The obligations of private honor, is
not trustworthy in public station.
A STRANGE CONFESSION
