last act nece ssary to damn it to eternal dis
grace. in the removal OF Gen. Lane from the
post of Governor of Oregon, and the appoint

Madison.-[ Goshen Democrat
According to the language ofthe rabid De-
mocratic editors, any act of Taylor's admins
tralion : damns it to eternal disgrace '-and
the great wonder is, that an injured people
does not rise in its wrath and tar and feather
the old General and his whole Cabinet. and
the civilized world turn from him ia disgust.
What lamentable reflection it is. that the
turning out Of Gen. Lane has entirely filed
Gen. Taylor's "cup of infamy." How fool
ish must be ''the people" who in their own wis
dom made so great mistake as to place such
a scoundrel in the Presidential chair! Now
as to Gen. Lanes appointment and with
drawal, we have two honest opinions, which
we as freely express here, almost at the door
of his house, as we should do in distant mart
of the Union. First-that his appointment
ny democratic administration, he being n
have been made from the ranks of his party
and that having fought in the battles of his
country, ne merited the honor. Second that
inasmuch as on his return from Mexico he
highly eulogised Gen. Taylor but after the
latter had been nominated. became his most
bitter opponent, and traduced the old Gener
al. his brother in arms, in speech after speech.
and used every effort to prevent his election
the President would have been perfectly
right in making his dismissal the uerv fl, st act
of his administration. If Taylor's soup of
infamy" has been filled by such acts as this
we will cheerfuly drink it for him if he'll ass
it over Bah! the PEOPLE are not going to
swallow this humbuggery about the unright
eousness of Gen. Lanes dismissal. If Gen.
Shields had accepted the appointment, he
would scarcely have been superseded during
this administraton-for the same honorable
testimony he bore to Gen. Taylor's worth be-
fore, was freely given after his nomination as
the candidate of the Wing party.

TRANSATLANTIC TREEs.-Autumn is con-

such as incline TO heave bsd with fIost, the
spring Is decidedly preferable. 1t is howe ,
er, OF advantage to dig the holes in the fall
when transplanting is deferred until spring.
as the earth thrown out becomes more finely

atmosphere, besides it is more leisure sea-

holes, and haul d few bushels of 0mpost or

quantity OF air-slacked lime, would be a val

way IN planting trees. in nine asses out of

vigorous growth aid early prohctveness.-
A good supply OF straw, or what is better,
leaves and scurf from the woo,s, should be
procured for littefing cattle. hoses aud swine.

The Administration.

30 hostile are those opposing the present
administration to all its acts, that they are oc
|casionally found accusing it of imbecility, and
in the next breath charging it with grasping
powers which do not rightfully belong to this
government. These, charges, however. only
have an influence among those who have no
other channels of news than the preiudiced
organs of particular party. Speaking of
the administration the Louisville Journal
says:
In what that the Administration has at
tempted has it failed 1t attempted to sus-
tain the neutral rights and the honor of the
country in the affair OF the steamship United
States-did it fail2 1t attempted to bring
back the abducted Rey to the Jurisdiction OF
the United States-did it fail? 1t attempted
to enforce the laws of the land by the sup
preston of the pirate u Cuba expedition-did
it fall2 1t attempted to bring the Indian diff
hculties in Florida to a close-did it fail
The Locofoco organs may question as
much as they please the necessity or The pro-
prety OF the Administrators course in re-
gard to these matters, but with what face can
they allege that it failed in executing what
it undertook or that it exhibited imbecility
Have not these organs themselves repeatedly
told their readers that, in regard to some of
the matters referred to, the Administration.
far from exhibiting imbecity, has been gull
ty of an energy unauthorise1 by law2
The fact is. ii you find, in one column of a
Locofoco organ, a charge that the Admins
tration has in all its measures manifested i'm
hecility, you will be sure to find in the next
column charge that it has recklessly and
violently graspcd powers and prerogatives
unauthorized by the Consttu ion and by the
laws. Of course nothing more is necessary
than to leave such miseraby contradictory
charges to annul each other.
