THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

The manifest disposition of The public
mind 10 regard the new Administration
with favor, is an suspicious sign indicative
of good things. Men Of all parties are IN.
clined to trust to the strong manly sense
and the Sterling honesty which they as
cIbe to General Taylor.
This confidence in advance gives 10 the
new Presden, nm extraordinary power far
good, without the dagger of ats doing any
harm. 1t is given in sincere falh, and it
will remain with abiding endurance so hong
as it is deserved. Gen. TAYLOR is thus
placed in position the most desirable that
a patriotic President could occupy--tha,
Of being free 10 act, IN all his official do.
ings, with sale reference to ilsiica and
the public good"
Thu, far, in the whole demeanor of the
President elect since the decision in No.
vember, there is seen an admirable pro.
priety, quite in keeping with character
which his coun,rymen had learned 10 ven
crate, as exhibited in his previous career.
Onevery occasion Of welcome which sreets
him, as he advances towards the Capital,
the congratulations Of his fellow. citizens
are received with modcstv which proves
It's own genuineness, and he continually
expresses his fears that in the ne" line of
service to which the people have called
him, he NAV not be able to meet the ex.
pectations Of the public. There is no af.
fectation ia this nor could there be bet
,nJ..nt,,p r. ho 49,, o,l .L,l.
y which he himself is the only one to
listrust.
With such characteristics as Gen. Tay.
or possesses, and with the strong hold
which he now has upon the popular conf.
lencc, his Administration, without the sx.
'esses which marked Gen. Jackson's, may
,ave more than its Constitutional visor.
