THF PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
President Taylor managed to conceal his po-
litical tencts until he started upon his Northern
tour, and we find him shortly after his DEPART
ture, declaring himself tc the coal and iron.
mongers Of Pennsylvania, in favor of a pro,
!ectlve Iarlf; and more recently at Beaver, in
the same State, we hear him pledging himself
Tor system of Internal improvements On.
this subject he uses the following language:
$50 far as Internal Improvements are
concerned. am STRONGLY in favor of a
system by which we shall have good har-
bors and nayigable rivers; and will do
every thing proper to produce result
And should the President prolong his visit
to the North, we may expect that the full
quota of the "whg, but not an ultra whig,"
Administr otion will be proclaimed to hcworld
But even now little is to be left to conjecture

of the Presidents views in relation to the OK.

Gas regards his executive relations to-

tension, he has proclaimed sentiments
which assure us Of his fealty at once to
the Constitution, and TO the great central

This announcement, if it really and truly ex-
presses the views of the President, is full of
ominous meaning to the South. We are told
that the President has declared himself in favor

the people legitimately avowed." This can.
mean nothing more nor less than that the Pres

jorisy of Congress may pass: Then what is
ffhe situation South5 There is no question but
shat any system of Internal improvements
may be carried, and nothing can save us from
a policy so ruinous. There is every probabil

enough among the democrats of the North to
over balance the renegade votes that will be
given for the Proviso from the South. There
may be sufficiency of democratic Senator,
to defeat the Tariff, and if that is defeated Il
is the only measure in which the interests of
the South will be respected. We have no
doubt but that an attempt will also be made to
alter the Sub-Trcasury system, which has
worked so well; it may not be by an effort 10
