Two Months In Power.--The Progress OF
the Administration

Little more than two months have elapsed
since Gen. Taylor was inaugurated. His
Administration is now in full and successful
operation. The various members Of the
Cabinet are at their posts, discharging the
responsible duties that have been con6ded
to them The effect thus far upon the
country hes been salutary. The people at
large feel that the measures of the Admins
tration viii be Whig-decided but not ultra.
The greatest good of the greatest number
will be earnestly and zealously sought The
policy will be at once liberal, enlightened
and conservative. The integrity and purity
Of Zachary Taylor no man doubts. His
reputation and character are truly national,
and his civil career will be characterized by
an earnest, patriotic, disinterested effort
to sustain the honor and develop the re-
sources Of The nation, to elevate the character
and brighten the annals Of the Republic, to
assist and contribute TO the happiness and
contentment Of the great body Of the people.
These are objects every way worthy the
good and the wise Our country is already
in the enjoyment Of many blessings We
are at peace with all the world Our flag
is respected by all civilized nations. The
American name never stood higher than at
this moment. The present is prosperous,
the future is bright with promise Labor
finds abundant employment and remunera-
tive wages. Confidence has once more
appeared in our commercial and monetary
circles. Enterprise has been quickened
with new life, and men look forward, salts
fed that the Government will by its policy
assist rather than retard the onward progress
Of all legitimate and honorable pursuits.
Thus far the Administration has fully an
swered the expectations Of its friends. The
beginning has been suspicious. The coun-
try already prospecting, will continue to do
so for years to come. This, at least, is the
belief Of the observing and unprejudic ed

that they were dissatisfied with the DYNASTY
Of James X. Polk. They desired change,
a change for the better, and such political
revolution has taken place Errors NAV be

No one can be truly said TO live who

have enjoyed it can appreciate the sat

On farms where thereis a considerabis
body of woodland attached d--as Is so
frequently the case---an opportasiay is
afforded for collecting that, which will
make manure of an excellent quality.

The bitches, ponds and marshes or

which if collected, and made into a

curing it in the cock instead Of spread.
