THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
GNTLEzES:-Accus,omed as have been.
during the last rine yonrs. to express myself
publicly on passing events. il is but natural that
! should feel Ike laying some Of my OLD brethren
oG the press under cnnirbuiion Tor the means OF
saying what hink Of The opening of the New
Administration. You are aware that resisted
the nomination Of General Taylor By the Wings

unable 10 give il my support. My opposition
was 10 The e'evaiion of a military hero, for his
war services alpine. | regarded such proceed
ing as dangerous. above all others; and though
so many Of my Wing friends chose to support
him. found myself (wihout impugning their
mu,ives) unable to keep them company. Since
refused to aequesee in the support Of The old
general, co opportunity has presented isell
when could judge Of or expreiss myself prop.
rriy respecting the result Of his election. until
the openirg.ol his administration, which ! now
mos, gladly do.
The man who was known only as the military
oliicer, could not properly be relied upon or cx.
prctcd to ADOPT with certainty, any particular
state policy that bis friends might wish; but sill
it is not impossible for him 10 lay aside the mill.
ary character aGd exhibit himself as The civil.
irn. This lam rgjoiced TO see Gen. Taylor doi
and book now to his opening administration as
all that Wings and patriots could reasonably de-
size, and ought most cordially 10 support. 1t /;
true that he has not pledged himself in his lnau'
gcyal ADDRESS, on tho Wi,mol proyiso, which
We Wings Of the Nonh would desire 10 sec
adopted in The government but be has express
sed such views of what i; the duiy OF the Exec
uiivc and coordinate departments, as positively
10 prevent his interfering with It's passage, anC
leave the matter 10 be adjusted by the people
Though their representatives.. In addition Il
this, he nvows the souudcsl Wing doctrines oI
norcclion, &c. In my opinion all good Wing
should now unite in the support of the new al
miuis'raljon, ard make il truly Wing as
should be, and as the President is evidently dis
posed 10 make IT, As one Of The millions o
Wings, feel bound 10 pursue this course.
Or the Free Suil parry, ! may be pcrmue,
10 observe, that II appears TO have served lis end
and The idea which gave rise to it has expired b.
limitation. his now dead. In It's proper spher
j, did good, 10 consraniag the expression AM
advocacy Of just political sentiments during tn
presidential canvass. But, as with all goo
things, there have not been wanting bad mel
to abuse it. In this State il has most unrorlu
uatoy occurred, that when the Free Soil idaj
was about to close its existence in quiet and re
spcciabiIy, dcmrgogucs were at hand to pro
long il 10 yiyily mass Of political corruption
thai will long ieGe the history Of Ohio. 1t ha
been di'graced to the lotll purpose Of promoting
unprinciplcd men in system Of legislative an
Orchy and tyranny that every good Ohioan vii
blush TO hear named.
Let all Wings unite as speedily as possible tc
repair the injuries that have been perpelraled by
the abuse of their confidence. or have followed
upon their temporary divisions. We mus
unite, if the right would triumph. Lei US thcr
honccforth, in Ohio, b, Wings in the sense We
have ever been, and next wear report to lht
world those majorries by which we cun restore
tho State 10 its former dignity.
