TIE NATIONAL ADMINS
TRATION.

We are Of that class Of politicians who
are content at all times 10 await the de-
vclopment Of policy by u political OPP
ponents before passing judgment upon
them, and then deal with them according
TO what we believe to be either their mer-
its or dement's. In this spirit we have
watched, rather passively, the course Of
The present National Administration, will
ling 10 give it a fair and full trial before
we should undertake to either approve or
condemn it. And now, after the lapse Of
two years since Mr.. Polk was made Pre-
sident, what shall we say Of his admins
iraticn! He found the nation at peace
with all the world, every branch Of in
dustry and Of business prosperous, labor
protected and rewarded, the National
Treasury Just recovering from exhaustion
and the National credit reyiying under the
operations Of the Wing Tariff of 1912.
The prospect for 2 long season of pros
perity TO this nation was seldom more en-
couraging. But two years-two short
years-hayc wrought a most wonderful
change. War, with all its evils, has fol-
lowed a long season of peace, foreign
competition has been invited TO our shores
and cur markets, the National Treasury
has again become exhausted, the National
credit again Frustrated, and, only for the
failure Of the crops in Ireland and on the
continent, which caused a heavy rise in
the price Of our bread-stulis even long
before the present Tariff went into opera
ton, cur farmers would now be without
a market for their surplus produce
The unusual foreign demand has emptied
the farmers gamers; but one abundant
harvest on the continent will destroy that
market, and then where win our produ-
GERS find another! Certainly not in Liy-
crpool; and If the present Tariff is 10 be
preserved, the domestic market viii fail
them also.
Whether we look ct the war-the man
ner in which il was originated and the
way in which il Las been carried on-or
whether we look at the condition Of the
National finances, or the state of Ma
iional credit, we cannot help bat deplore
the ~bungling and ill-advised policy of the
Administration. which, besides all that
VIC have noticed, bids fair to leave the
country, not only crippled in her ener-
gies, but involved in a heavy national
debt. that must be paid, one or later,
by The people.

His Excellency, although he had taken
time By The forelock in regard to securing
his nomination, will find it an uphill bus:-
ness to run against a man "just fresh
from the ranks of the people," The Of

to have him reelected, but the mass OF
the people, many even Of his own polti-
cal party, cannot be lashed into The traces.

VERA CRUZ & THE CASTLE.

We condense the following, in relation
10 the situation of Vera Cruz and the
Castle Of San Jaan de Ulloa, from an ac-
count written by a naval officer and pub
lished in the New York Tribune, which
will no doubt be interesting TO some Of
our readers.
The City Of Vera Cruz contains 1000
inhabitants. 1t is situated upon a low
sandy beach and walled with a sort Of
rampant, CONSTRUCTED principally of mud.
The mountain ranges commence some 30
miles inland, and between these and the
city the country is covered with sandy
hIiIocks, between which stand pools of
stagnant water, which engender the fatal
MlAsma, so destructive to life during the
rainy sections.
The Castle Of San Juan fronts the CT
~ al a distance of ;hree-eighths Of a mile
and is supported by a water-battery at the
northwest angle Of The town, of 80 anS
az pound gHi.=. The Castle itself hal
mounted geo cannon and a large numbe
of Paixaan guns, which arc so arrange'
that a feet attempting an attack will b
