DIFFICULTIES THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
On the whole, we think th at the Texas queston-the
difficulties between the Northern and Southern Demo-
cracythe indications shown of coalition between the
North and the West, in opposition TO the South and all
the other phenomena developed daily in Congress bid
fair to make the Presidency Of Mr.. Polk very difficult
troublesome and trying How he is to manage
matters without rupture OF some kind or other betw
the different sections the acy cannot clearly
see. We shall wait and watch, however."-N " Herald
In the foregoing paragraph, the Herald has given
striking presentation of the difficulties which i'll encom
pass President Polkpartcuary upon the suppcsition
that Texas will not be annexed at the present session.
For own part strongly impressed with the belief
thatit now or never" that We are to welcome our
sister Republic into the Union Indeed when the
prominent part which slavery ia made to play in the de-
tails OF annexaton we fear that the obstacles to settle
ment OF tho question at the present session insur

vote for the admission Of Texas upon the conditions
contained in his plan is for from giving any fresh
coursRemeut as to the adjustment oftte question.
The position OF Mr. Folk will undoubtedly be difficult,
troublesome and trying but 10 surmcunt these difficult
ties he will bring into his administration that decision
prcmptness energy and perseverance, necessary in
great emergencies. Tho perplexing questions which
spring out oil the conflicting opinions and interests be-
tween the north and the south have been settled
ezceptby mutual concessionsthey must be settled in
the same way again. Mr. Polk will not be the President
Of any section Of the Union but looking to the go
rious example Of the Fathers OF this Republic in other
days which tried mems souls" be will throw himself
upon the great conservative portion OF the patriotic in all
