house for himself or his friend Mr. White. This

house for himself or his friend Mr. White This
seems to be the purpose of his course since the
election. The editorials Of tina, paper, as well on
the slavery question the tariff, are calculated
rather to throw difficulties IN the way OF Gen.
Taylor's administration, and the formation of
successful cabinet, than anything we have seen;
and the course which those journalists and their
friends pursue GEMS TO have for its object the
alternative either of all the offices in the custom
house, or hostility to the new administration Of
Gen. Taylor.
These, we believe, are correct views IN relation
to the position OF several Of Il Taylor papers in
the large Atlantic cities, particularly those journals
which came out only by compulsion favor OF
Gen. Taylor as our next President, few weeks
before his nomination or election. We are watch
ing them with the same attention AMI with the
same understanding with which we watched the
whole movement that has carried Gen. Taylor
INTO the Presidency, since the summer of 1910,
when we first met the distinguished hero at
Niagara, and from that place described him as the.
great genius of the army-the real Rough and
Ready OF the nation and also from the time when
our original impressions OF 1910 were revived in
the month OF May, 1916 when we first named hum
for the Presidency, In anticipation of all others
Yet We claim no credit, no favors, no Offices
nothing Of any kind-from the new administration
The income of the NeW York Herald is nearly
equal to that of the Presidency itself. We are in
dependent of all administrations, and ask nothing
of any one of them but the public good, on
correct general principles, looking to the union
and prosperity of the whole Union. From wha
we have seen take place since the election
we are satisfied that many of the journals os
the Atlantic cities, and many of the leading
politicians, including Ex-Governor Seward, Mr..
Webster, and others, are already preparing to as
sume ultra grounds, both on the Wilmot provlso
and tariff, in order, from that point of opposition
to threaten the new administration into their
wishes as regards the distribution OF office and
the removals OF old Office -hoders. For this mis-.
chlevous purpose, we have reason TO believe the
North american has declared itself In favor of
ultra tariff measures, as we'll as the advocacy of
ultra slavery principles. Now, it Is well known
that the moderation and compromise which entered
into the constitution of the United States at the
organization of the government, must enter into
all successful and popular administrations of the
existing government. The ultras are already be.
ginning, both on the tariff and Wilmot proylso
questions, and other points, to assume a qtsas,
ground Of hostility, the basis of further action
unless their ravenous de sires are gratifed in the
distribution OF office.
We have much more to say on these points. We
want nothing of Gen. Taylor, and we can there.
fore afford to tell him and all others, the TRUTH the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
