DEslGNs OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

DESIGNS OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The hired presses of the Administration from Buff
faIo to Southport are filled with advertisements Of
the sale of public property heretofore used in the
works Of improvement, at public auction. This is
forcbe and unmstakeable declaration that the doc
frine Of the Veto Message ishereaer to be the gul
ding principle of Mr.. Polk and his successors. 1t is
the severance OF the General Government entirely
from such small business as improving the "mouths
ofcreeks and narrow inlets" in order to give all its
attention to the glorious work of butcherng an igno-
rant and distracted people. When in the next Con-
gressa bill shall be introduced granting appropria-
tons to harbors and rivers, superadded to all 9TH
er objections will be the one, viz: that we are
unprepared to enter into such extensive works and
that bankrupt treasury cannot supply the amount
needed to procure the necessary implements to carry
these on 1t is to insure, possible, the future defeat
any attempt to engage the GeneralG Government in
these works that these wretched, improvdent sales
arc ordered. Insult is thus piled upon injury and
R'defance of all that those papers possessing any
independence, friendly to the Administration have
said, Mr.. Polk goes on, by the strongest possible
manifestations, to declare that the principles of the
veto shall be the standing rule of action for the fu
ture. 1855
Wigs, it is time to awake if we would save the
Republic. We must let the voice of Michigan be
heard against such usurpaton ofs power and such
unheard of executive partially and expressions Our
national honor, every day becoming more and more
endangered by our wretched contest with Mexico;-
the integrity of Union, almost if not quite, at
the mercy cfa faction whose Vaccinations are trea-
son; the bankruptcy of our treasury the safety of
lberties and if even the dead had risen to stir
TO action, the wall of drowning Sailors the cry OF
widows and orphans, whose husbands and fathers
have persisted, that the money which should have
built harbor might be used in war; all call upon us
to rebuke at the polls, the Tyranny which has created
these difficulties. x
Democrats, are yon satisfied with the course upon
which the administration has entered9 If so you
will of course uphold it; if not we cordially invite
you to unite your voices with in its Reproduction,
as we most assuredIy should ours with yours were
the circumstances reversed.
MEANNESS EXTRAORDINARY.
The following is one of six suggestions we find in
the Signal Of Liberty directions to its partsans
in the coming electioneering campaign.
SNAKE all diligence to get Liberty papers circula-
ted in your town, and discourage all you the cir
cutat'on Of prostarery papers, because newspapers
make and control public sentiment on all questions
in this country of public character, and every dollar
paid to the support of proslavery papers goes in fact
to theputtng down of abolition, while our antisla-
very papers need the support"
By 'proslavery papers," all understand the papers
Of other parties interested. The circulation of
io hod I'D h,,a Of
nal may go uncontrolled and unexposed. True
their publishers may be injured in business; they
may be frustrated in what is in them laudable de-
sign of giving the people fair representation of their
sentiments and they seek not to interfere with their
neghbors in the same enterprse;-besides, the cost
of papers is low that scarcely any is unable to
take several if he wishes, and where and truth
opposed the closer they are brought in contact
the greater is the victory for the latter So sensible
are we of this that we would rather any Democrat or
aboltionist who may choose to take paper would
do so wout disseminating the papers of his own par
ty. Not so with the Signal, and for very good
reason that paper and its party only exist by the
firm belief that both the other parties prosavery.
TheWhig papers especially must be avoded and con-
sequenty the Signal goes on with Its cautions to
iberty men," to beware of being deceived by its ap
parent Anti-slavery in "locdI sections. The plain
truth is, the Signal knows well that could whig
paper find its way int the hand of every one of its
readers vain would be all its talk about the prosave
ry of the Wing party; in vain would it call on its par
tsans, to stand aIoof and 'hold the balance of pow
until they get the power to abolish slavery" No!
no. not in the least afraid to put the tone and
sentiment Of the Wing press against all the ground
less charges of the Signal. The latter, however,
shuns this comparisons; what better evidence of in
sincerity is neededl
T 0FSThe Free Press has become the defender of
men in the eastern cities, who usurp Washing, Mil
mary, and such business properly belonging to fe-
males, thus reducing them to poverty; and in some
cases send emssaries among them, taking advantage
of their necessities to pursuade them to relinqush
life of virtue The Free Press informs that thou
sands of girls may find homes and employment in our
newly opened mining regions, and then most gallant
ly exclams; ',avnt the girls enterprise enough to
90 where tssey can easily procure homes and abund-
aIceF Oh, yes, it is very easy thing for s'giIls
| in New York or elsewhere, who have barely been
able to live, to procure twenty five, fifty humid
bred dollars to carry them to the far west and afford
some little security from want and misfortune when
they got there; and besides that It is very custona
ry, for girls to lead emigration to new regons or to
move oin crowds where they may chance to hear sim
gle abundant. As for men 'having enterprise
