The concurrence of adverse circumstances
threatens to place him president Tay lor) at the
start in less favorable position than any of his
predecessors. The elder ADAMS, at the first
session after his election, counted decided ma
iority in both branches Of the Legislature. Mr.
JEFFERSON, at the first session, with q Senate a"
bout equally divided, had Democratic majority
in the House. Mr.. ]. q. ADAMS had decided
majority i'll the Senate, and in the House Speak
er friendly to the Administration, received 80
votes against "a for all others. Whatever may
be the result of the pending election in the House,
enough has transpired to show that President

Such is the melancholy picture which the i'm

"People's President" The two Federal Adams

Some Of the " hig press, the Whig amongst the
number, argue that the elections this year are no
certainly, was not the case in General Taylor's
own State, Louisiana, where the vote was larger
than at the Presidential election, and where the
Democracy swept the State. And even if the
wing vote had dwindled down, is it not the Sc
yerest rehuke upon a new administration, that
its friends Disguised with developments treated
the election with silent contempt! On either

But, say they, the administration has had TO

try with its measures and "principles." In the
language of that original Taylor organ and pres

argument:
GLOW so " hat of the Allison letters and the
Inaugural! Has not the doctrine of stopping
prescription, as there laid down. been measure
ofthe wing party for twenty years? Vas not
General Taylor elected on that ground? Has
not the measure been most grossly violated in

There has been one or two articles in the
Washington Republic of late that astonishcs u.s.
Wings as we are, we will not second any such
paltry twaddle and chicanery, even if from the
President himself. What is the meaning of the
above sentiment from the Republic? and what
is the policy in obedience to Which it is put
forth? Why the Republic, in its zeal to carry
the wing party in the different elections, and
keep the majority, deserts the true wing ground
Of the country, and attempts to paddle some

capital. For shame on it For shame on such
downright perversion of whig doctrine and that
