We cordially prefer congratulations to readers
everywhere upon the election Of TayJr and Fillmore
t. the highest offices Of the Republic. The popular con-
fience has been well bestowed. A faclious domination
growing continually and more narrow selfish and
lberal, is pat down. and administration IS IN
prospect which, sumn0ning the best intelligence and
patriotism ofthe country 10 lis councils, will be in lis
features and principles, liberal, national and wise.
