From the Boston Times
THE ADMINISTRATION.

IL has been for some time apparent to us, that
the wing presses of the country, under the leading
influence of their prominent public men, have been
most active in trying to dissensions among the
members of the great democratic family of the
Union. In the recent canvass, and even for long
period previous to the more busy of the
paign, different policy was pursued. Then, the
presses of the wing party and all their distinguished
orators, waged a bold warfare with the democratic
party, auded Henry Clay as the nobest and purest
patriot IN the country, and denounced the young
representative of the democratic faith, James T.
Polk, as every way his inferior.
They joined issue, also, on the great distinctive
principles of the two parties and waged an open
war ON the open field OF party controversy. They
found, however, by the result, that their
and principles had no abidng-place in the heart of
the American people; that the pulsations of that
heart beat IN unison only with human progress,
with the extension of the "area of freedom on
American soil, and the true glory of the American
people, The genius of our nation, it was plainly
dlscernble, fingered not with the Anticipated insu-
tons of the past, with the cherished abuses Of Brit
ish precedent at home, the grasping and monopo-
lizng policy of the British nation abroad It's spirit
was manly and humane, vigorous and progressive;
and by the Inauguration of the young, keen-sghted,
and vigorous son of Tennessee in office, it declared
that the destiny of free people FAUST be accomplish
ed, and that the destructive and mole-like policy Of
federal arisocracy could have influence under the
free institutions of democracy The country in eff
feet said, in the election of James K Polk, that the
administration Of the government had been for about
fifty years democratic that the people had prospered
under its genial Influences; had gone on from one
noble step of progress to another and that was the
part of wisdom to continue such a state of things
Thus the open policy of the wings was openly con-
demned by the people.
Now, the course of the piebald wing party is DIFF
ferent Covertly they seek to obtain their object
covertly they design to reach the controlling power
of the nation. They make no particular open war
upon the President or his cabinet; but they insid-
ously labor to misrepresent the views of the Pres-
dent, to mlsstate every position taken by his official
advisers; and when removal is made, or man APP
pointed to official station, TO fan the embers Of dis
content among members Of the democratic brother
hood, and array one section of our party against
another In this way, they hope to divide the DEM
ocratic party, to SOW the seeds of dsunion in their
midst, and render il poweress in the next campaign
This policy of the wings must not be fed by demo-
Gratis themselves. They should Indignantly frown

acres, in one body, lying in the county of Orange
and distant (say) two miles from the Racoon Ford,
thirty from Fredericksburg, and twenty from the
Louisa railroad. These lands have been regarded
as among the most valuable in that section Of the
country-embracing almost every variety Of SOIL
The low grounds stretch for upwards of two miles
on the mountain run, and of unusual breadth.
They well adapted to the Virginia staples, corn,
wheat, oats, and tobacco Clover and plaster act well
upon them, and they afford abundant materials for
speedy and permanent Improvement, having an ex.
ceent vein of limestone running through them
which is of easy access. Whilst this affords an in
exhaustlble source for improvement it can be made
profitable as an article Of sale--lime being always
in demand. Few farms are so well adapted 10
grazing, Astounding as it does in perpetual water
and shade, and being fine grass land. II has com.
Portable dwelhng-house OH one portion Of it and
smaller tenemen's on other portions. 1t will be d.
yided into farms of suitable SIZE and sold upon the
following terms, viz one quarter in cash, the re-
mainder in three equal annual instruments carrying
interest from the day of sale--the deferred pay

And beg leave to report bill to be entitled San act
to raise a revenue for the State of Florida"
The committee do not pretend to consider this
bill as furnishing complete system of revenue;
but they do consider it adequate for all present pur
poses, and as the commencement of system which
may be perfected hereafter.
Should this revenue bill be passed into law at
this present session of the general assembly, it will
be some six or eight months before it can any
money to flow into the State treasury. But it will
insure public confidence, and treasury certificates
will be readily received in all transactions at their
par value. But, on the other hand, should the gem
era assembly adjourn without passing revenue
bill, confidence will be lost in the government, and
its treasury certificates will be hawked about at a
ruinous depreciation; whilst of debt will be
accumuating against the State, blightng its credit
and corrupung the people.
We have examples before us, which should adj
monsh us in the most solemn manner to avoid every
thing that would be calculated to lead us into the
creation of anything like State debt. To avoid
every attempt at the establishment Of system of
favortism party patronage, to establish cheap
form of government, and to collect from the people
more money than its support demands, and to hold all
who have custody of the public moneys TO prompt
and rigid accountability, are plain and self-eviden
rules, which experience, wisdom, and duty alike
point OUT and which the committee respectfully
submit to the consideration of the general assembly
