rms ADMINISTRATION.

tain leUer written ~ nm, IN Whicn ne uebouh-
ces the conduct of the Z" Dthig Administration,
as he is pleased to call il. The Richmond
Wig pleads most zeaously against The w hIg
party being regarded as responsible Tor the acts
Of the Administration, except during The thirty
days that Gen. Harri on presided. Now, no
one holds in greater reverence the memory oil
that distinguished and amen,ed man than our
selves; bat we must say that the mschievous
measures Of The extra session was received up
ON during that thirty days-and Mr. Tyler, we
have good reason to know, although in The city,
was not consulted aboutit. That was Wing
measure, and the Richmond Wing may boast
OF its merits as much as it pleases.
We ask neither Wings nor Democrats to hold
themselves responsible before The country fl r
what this Administration has done. Let all the
blame and censure fall on the heads Of those ac-
tually concerned in the administration of affairs.
Let all the censure be visited on the head Of the
President; he desires no party, which is un-
willing TO 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 ii
was led to commit under the dlctation of its ar
rogant leader, whatever prelence il might make
to the contrary, il would give much, and submit
TO almost anything. How resIstless would ii
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 i. consumma-
ton, which the skill of no other Administration
could accomplish, effected by onr Administra-
tion?" With what an air Of confidence and
triumph would it point 10 Florida, now smiling
and prosperous, but late the scene of massacre
and bloody strife. How boas fully would it tell
OF the settlement of the claims on Mexico?
Where would be the end of its vaunling, if il
could refer 10 the present condition of the coun-
Try, and compare il to what il was in 1910 I?
How would il exull in pointing TO the heaps of
gold piled up in the principal cilies-to the busy
quay, The 'hronged streets, the pleasing smiles
once more lighting up the faces Of our business
men, and the restoration Of Individual and State
credn2 How conn lacen,ly would il mention
the activity at this momen, displayed at New
Orleans, a thing uuusal at this season of the
year, and almost without precedent How
would 1t boast OF the reduction of governmental
expenses-and above all, how loudly would it

Nor would the Wing party Jorge. 80 .,.....
Der the rigid system of accountability which
has been introduced, and The f.cI, as one of its
results, OF the absence of all default on the part
Of the receiving and discussing agents. But
no-tbe Wings have not these things to
boast Of; they can only below forth their
complaints about the Vetoes, AM iry to
argue the People into the belief that all
the powers OF the Government ought 10 b.

placed In the hands of midnight caucuses. These
are the poor themes on which they have 10

them, the ground has nea ly moved from under
their feet
And we opine that ere they get through the
angry contest which is now impending ovei
item, the Democratic leaders would be n ost
happy to claim the fruits of the administrative
policy as their own. Mr.. Haywood himself
may be willing 10 cease his sneers at an Admin
istratIon which in future times nav and we
doubt not will, be quoed by the Democrats as
one of the standard Democratic Admrnistra-
tons. What has Mr.. Haywood 10 stand upon

and " The HARD" which promises nothing but
hard times-bJth alike condemned by the PEG.
pls-would be the most extraordinary battle
ever fought on The face of the earth.
No, ye ultra political SPECTATORS on all sides,
when you have occasion TO assail the Admins
uation, assail it as the TYLER ADMINS
TRATlON-an Administration sustained bv
mere "Corpora's Guardn in The two Houses,
and yet redeembg the Government from the
errors Of the pas acting solely for the God of
the country.
The People begin TO understand these things,
and wherever they have been brought before
them openly and canjdy by its real friends. the
Administration has been sustained by the p, n
pie. IL has much cause TO complain we doubt
not, OF many in office, who, with hypocrisy at
their hearts, and its smiles upon their lips. have
rather sDeered at its claims to supoort than
spoken out maniully for it, But the mist is
now clearing away, and we do no, doubt but
that the Chief Magistrate will act in regard TO
all such, with decision and firmness. man
who violates the Obligations Of private honor. Is
not trustworthy in public Stallion
A STRANGE CONFESSION.
