The Administration.

No Ministry in England, under its most
embarrassing circumstances, was ever hedg.
ed in so toimid ably aud SO irretrievably bv
its own friends as is the Administration Of
President Polk, at the present time. The
mysterious movements connected with he
war, and the now exposed hypocrisy and ras
cality respecting the Tar #, have been ef-
fectualiy TO destroy the Administration a.
mong the people. If an elect on could take
place to-day, we do not believe MIR. Polk.

may attain power by demagoguism, but he
cannot retain it beyond the prescribed term;

in the Tariff Of 1912, was TO them the great
argument in favor of his election. They

6 we rejoice, as the friends of American in
dusiry, that we begin TO see clear weat' er
above the horizon. The future is bright.
The Tariff of 1912 may be destroyed.
