From The Buffalo Gazette

The recent speech Of Mr. Gushing, in Congress,
has thrown the camp of the ultras into confusion
They see and feel that the Administration party Of
the Union hold the balance of power-that they can
WELD influence more potent than that of either Of
the two contendng parties Of the day, and that the
destiny of the nation in their keeping from the pc
culiar position which they occupy in the politics of
the country The true republican principles which
form the basis Of all their measures, are fast win
ming favor with the people, and nothing can prevent
their final triumph. The bold and independent stand
taken by Mr. Gushing, has opened the eyes of the ul
tras to the true stste Of the The President is
not to be driven from his design Of administering the
government for the good of the whole country-for
the promotion Of the happiness and prosperity Of
the people, 10y the fierce warfare which the "unholy
alliance" Fl TO wage against his measures. But
he throws himself upon the country, and looks alone
to the great dy of the republicans Of the land for
the justification Of his acts and for carrying out that
line Of policy which the wants OF the Government
and Of the people so imporiousy demand.
