HARD TO PLEASE.

The Union seems very hard to please -
Nothing which the administration does, meets
It, appreciation. II scolds, threatens, abuses,
frets, fumes, w'ines, and continually finds
fault. One moment i applauds the Presi-
dent for his honesty aad decision, the next
j. condemns him for dishonesty and inde-
cision. II blows hot and cold il the same
breath.
To heed the Union, one would think, that
the President is 4 giant and piginy in
the same person; that he is Washington
and Polk in the same hour The moment
an act is done or proposed to be done, the
Union cries out" There, didn't tell you
50 ?"--and then come whole columns Of
weeping, gnashing Of teeth, Indignation and
iury--all in the same breath.
!. would have him do this, and when what
II wishes Is done, il would have had him do
that Not an appointment gratihes It. IT
gets up long and intense agonies at the bare
idea, that the administration proposes to do
justice, to extend mercy, and to execute the
ONCE Of President, as the constitution and
laws plainly require 1t 10 be executed. II
swears, like -four army in Flanders,v at
every thing and every body, and plainly
shows that it is not only hard to please. but
that il won't be pleased.
We regret exceedingly that our contem-
porary should be reduced to this frame Of
mind. A little depletion, and few months
fare upon bread without water, would no
doubt serve amazingly to restore It's equi-
librium, and we are glad to perceive that
there is strong prospect Of its soon being
pat upon this regimen
