The proof against it is cogent and conclusive to
every man who has given heed to The selections
made by the administration, of men to perform the
public service at home and abroad.
The plain fact is, the present President Of the
United States came into power the chosen concil-
iaton candidate Of the whole democracy of the coun
try As such he has formed, and as such he has
conducted his administration. As such, he will
hereafter conduct it, with single eye to the inter-
of the whole country, and to his own good name
and fame with honest men, when his career as
President shall have become part of the American
history. In this spirit he has been, and he will be,
true to the whole democratic creed, and just to the
whole democratic party. That he has been hither-
party, is shown by the fact that no journal has
yet been able to point out any one clique which,
more than another, has been frowned upon or con-
demned True, the attempt has, indeed, been made.
II has been made in some moment Of idle spleen,
by one excited and feverish journal, which did not
get all that it wished; and then suspected favor
itism which it could not prove. This ridiculous
notion, however, seemed to have been recently
abandoned by all republicans of every region. The
very charge preferred against the administration by
the "Sentine," is, when rightly viewed, its honor
and its pride 1t is the accusation Of importialiy tow
ards the various bands Of its frends and it, we do
not believe fear, dark hour of distrust suspi-

now in power, they may well call to mind the nature
of this accusation against their policy and SO be con-

Let us ask, over and over again. what interest
Mr. Polk has in propitiating portion Of the DEM
ocratic party, or in offending another He is in
debted to them all for his election. He looks to
them all for the prosperity of his administration.
Upon the firm union Of the bundle Of arrows de-
pend his strength and his success. 1t is his own SOL
id interest," as is his fervent DESIRE to keep the great
republican phalanx united From all collectively he
received the power which he Yields; and, with the
assistance Of ALL he will be enabled to hand that
power to his republican successor, when, at the end
of his four years. he retres to the shades of private
life to respose upon the "reminiscences of the past,
and to anticipate the gories Of the future.
Let us, then, respectfully ask the efervescent ed
itors of the democratic press whether it is wise in
them to indulge their humors-to magnify any little
disappointment about Office into serious wrong, and
toproclam their little complaints upon the house-top
Do they not see the consequence Do they not see
in whatmanner the wing press, entirely at fault them
selves, utterly at loss for any serious charge to
bring against the administration, seize upon every
rumor that emanates from republican paper, to
cheer their own tagging spirits, to animate their
friends, to calculate upon division, and to predict
our own defeat' Is prudent to give them this ham

to such rnmors, TO "aid and abet" the common enc
