We undertake TO say that the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Journal OF Commerce mis-
represents the OF the present administration.
Never was there grosser mistake than the supposlton
that sthe administration will do nothing and propose
nothing !" that ''the departments will do nothing" We
venture TO say that the Presidents message and the Sec
retares reports will be among the most able and CON-
prehensive documents which have emanated from
the Executive Departments; and that the message and
the treasury report will be particularly full, bold, and
decided in their character The President and Secreta
res will never fa,er in the discharge of their public duty
and in their great responsibility These documents will
in due time speak for themselves
! The correspondent of the NJ Y. Courier is correct in
the objections il makes to this very extraordinary pro-
duction" in the Journal of Commercebut he is not
equally fortunate in defining with proper precision the
duties of the administration. He says:
"An administration going out of power never thinks OF
mending to that about to come in, nor do
members of Congress of either party take the initiative in
such proceedings General Taylor will not come In until
after the 9TH Of March, and consequently recommend
nothing until the commencement of the 3lst Congress"
If he means by this position that the present President
of the United States ought to recommend nothing to the
present Congress, he states what not correct 1t IS the
duty of the administration to recommend whatever meas
ures may be necessary proper for the public good
We have doubt that Mr. Polk will discharge this duty
with the same earlessness and fidelity if were the
first year of his presidential term. To conne ourselves
a single the situation OF our newly acquired ter
rtores demands the organization OF an efficient govern
ment, in place of the present anomalous arrangement
and the next session of Congress ought not to pass away
without dischagng this necessary part Of their duty
Does any man believe that Mr. Polk is TO close his
to the responsibility which is imposed upon him
The same correspondent of the Journal, declaring that
he democratic Senate will negative any and all meas
ures of the wing House." falls into another egregious
mistake We presume that the Senate will sanction
no measure which is calculated TO thwart the great
policy OF the republican party. They will stand as a
break water to arrest the principles Of the wings II the
House abolshes the Independent treasury, establishes
bank or repeats the tariff of 1916, will become the
duty of the Senate to negative all such measures. But
we have not the most distant apprehension that the
Senate will into any wanton and facous opposition
any which tends to promote the good OF the
country
