no reason why the editor who has passed his

entitled to as much consideration as politicians,

! tr,-There was some conjec'urng, for tune,
as to whether the National htethgencer or the
National Uhig, would be the organ OF the
new Administration but that point seems to-
be settled now, and the htelfgcner is the
organ. We are glad Of this, for that paper
! is by far the soundest and aLlcst journal, OF
any kind, in the country. Its editors, and
particularly Mr.. Gales. are men who have
long, very long, been conspicuous in the de-
par,ment which they have so long occupied
and there is probably no man who is so thor
oughly conyersant with the political history OF
the world, who has so carefully watched the
movements of nations and Of men, and whose
discerning Judgment, whose experienced eve
and sound conservative views SO emncntly
qualify him as the confd initial editor OF the
Executive of this powerful Republic, as Mr.
Gales.
The columns os the hteHgencer never con-
\ tain articles teenng with wild and progress
i've notions, but, on the contrary, the senti-
ments there published TO the world, are the
deliberations of wholesome minds, guided by
principle and solely actuated by the purest
motives. That paper has sustained the
shocks of party through many long years: at
the Capitol of the nation, it has watched, with
AN eagle eye, tho changes through which we
have passed, exposing the errors of corrupt
administrations, and always doing service in
the good Wing cause, even in the darkest
hours, and when there was hardly hope left
to cheer the stoutest heart
Such paper is an honor to the party and
to the country and when it speaks the senti-
mens of the Administration, we have some-
thing of reliable nature, and not the mere
verbiage of journal which is more ambitious
of pleasing its vain patron, than of speaking
tie dignifed opinions ofthe Chief of a model
Republic.
