they carry on; there professions by involuntary re-

upright, and digent public servant.
Viewing the prosperity Of the country in conuec-
ton with The forthcoming Administration, We sec
nothing but good oncns. In relation to tho great
sectional question which 50 disturhs the country,
the President elect is pledged 10 neither party and T.
therefore proper umpire between the Two. y any
one can settle it, he can We have an abiding faith thai
it will shortly disappear rs topic Of alarm Wliis.
in regard 10 the politics OF two divisions OF the peo-
pie, the public will be less agaed for that Its deci.
sons will be respected. With u good Cabinet, OF
which General Taylor will be assuredy at the head,
the way will be smooth and the task OF the Executive
pleasant. We predict that whatever may be the be-
ginning of the new Administration il will grow bet,
Ter 10 the end In the virtue, sound Judgment and
pure patriotism of the Chief Magistrate there is safe.
