THE CORRESPONDENT or THE CHARLESTON MER.
Curry AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
A Washington city correspondent Of the Charles
ton Mercury, writing under date of July ~, at
tempts to show up terrible commotion in the ranks
Of the democratic party with the deduction from his
premises that breakers ahead, upon which the
administration must run. Among other symptoms
Of discomfort the writer is pleased to state that, al
democratic meeting in this (Muskngum) county,
recently held to select delegates 10 the State
ton, resolutions proposing vote OF confidence IN
Mr. Folks administration" were voted down by a
very large majority.
If all the symptoms Of discomfort which the Mer-
curys correspondent gathers together ground.
less those in relation 10 county meeting then
he had better be employed in some business more
honorable and truthful than his present occupation;
and paper so respectable and influential as the
Mercury ought not TO permit one either so ignorant
or uncandid as its correspondent place in its col
umns
The facts in relation to the resolution in our coun-
ty meeting are these Two or three individuals
here (includng the mover Of said resouonl had
been for some time previous TO that meeting, and
continue to be, under the management, of the wings;
and the wings were then, and are now, using the
name of the mover Of the resolution TO produce q
difficulty in relation TO the post Office here. The
resolution offered to up the duplicity Of
the mover and his coadjutors, and was voted down
as a rebuke TO him and them The meeting did
Ing resolutions;
"Reseirsd That approve Of the principles and
eide with laid down in the inaugural address
James x. Polk; that the democratic party Of this county
look with anxious desire for the enrly annexation Of
Texas, and the lawful occupation of Oregon and stand
ready to sustain the national administration in any con.
stiutiona to consummatc these great American
measures"
Now it will require keen optics and quick percep-
ton TO find opposition or tinircndly feeling to Mr..
Polk or the administration in the above but these
two or three men we speak Of acting wthihe wing
papers here, published that the democraHt county
meeting had voted down resolution in fayor of the
administration.
The democracy Of Muskingum county, VIC can
assure the Mercury, nre sound TO the in rela-
ton to the administration; they are engaged in no
clique or combination TO obstruct or injure the adj
minisration; and Mr. Polk will find in them friends
and supporters as devoted as any in the Union, so
long as he administers the government on republican
principles; and they have no fears as TO his deter
mmaiion in this respect.
There may be a difference Of opinion in relation
to some of the appointments mode by Mr.. Polk
Some ofthem are probably not the best selections that
could have been made but for this, men fstand-
ing and character, who recommend, are response
bic, and not the President He acts with the best
lights before him. Inudicious appointments may
still be made; indeed, we know of some in this
gion who have recommendations file at Wash
ington that il would be most unfortunate IL they
should receive appointments; but If they do, the
President would not be to blame, but those who
recommend them.
We repeat, that the whole story Of opposition to
the administration in this county is conjolnt hum
bug of the wing press here and the two three pre-
tended democrats to whom we have alluded.
