The aNsturaI AlIiss.,,

w, presum III At by this tais III, pao,s Of The
South are getting their eyes open 20 the true charac-
Ter Of their "nattlral ullies" The fact Is that while
the Of both parties al the North are opposed TO
the admission Of Southern institutions into the new
territories tho most perseverng and nveterate leaders
o. the new Free soil Patty, arc the old Marshals and
Lieutenant Generals OF Democracy, while the rank
and file are taken In nj least equal 1--WE think more
likely, greater) proportions from the same party
These mon, from Van Buren, down, are The most Bit
ter most radical, and most unrelenag OF the adver-
saries Of the South. They are carrying out with
vengeance the spirit Of the wild Democracy Of the
free States and aiming at the establishment Of the
superiority Of physical force, as the great controlling
principle OF free government
In Massachusetts and Connecticut, The Democrats
have united with the Free Soilers 10 prevent the
election Of the Wing candidates. Here Is another
exhibition OF that broherly love OF the natural al
lles,n about which we hoar SO much. Look Of your
brethren, men Of the South Likely fellows, are
they not
The truth L., the history Of Martin Van Buren,
ought 10 stand MS an eternal warning against "Natu-
raj Allies" Ma man was louder In his professions
Of friendship for Southern and Southern insti-
tuons. His party here considered him model of
frankness and consistency while they denounced the
Wing leader, Gen. Harrison, as an aboliilonist The
mnsk has now fallen from Van Buren,, as II has from
thousands OF his party. They are true 10 the South
as long the South Is true 10 therinterests and no
longer. Van Buren, is but fair representative Of the
selfish bargaining, intriguing character of Northern
Democracy Thus we see even the Northern men
who sustained Cass, now coalcscing, with the Free
Sellers Of Connecticut, 70 defeat The election of
Wings TO the councils of the nation.
And whyf Are we told the South Is TO be pun
ished for refusing 10 support Gen. Cass2 A noble
principle indeed upon which 10 actl And a noble
people the South would be If their Indignation
not aroused by the idea that hey only to obtain
Northern friends by voting for Northern men, and
TO be punished for neglect to do SO by assaults npon
their institutions.
Let South ask, which are its true allies the men
who from interest revenge thus desert and bctray
ils cause or the Wings who give solid deeds instead
of pretty words and who, instead Of talking about
natural allies elect Southern man TO the Presden-
Cyl who cannot stab the South unless the dagger first
passes through his own breast and who will not per-
nit Southern rights and institutions 10 be invaded

The Administration is now in the full tide Of suc-
csssful experiment. The members Of the Cabinet
are busily engaged In the discharge Of their arduous
and-laborious duties, and although the pressure has
thus far been very severe and is likely 10 continue
so for some time, have every confidence In
the ability and judgment of the various members,
and believe that the government from first 10 last
will answer all the Just expectations Of nm intelligent
and patriotic people. The few changes thus far have
been made In spirit OF great forbearaure and mod
Grafton. There has been nothing rash, hnsly or pro-
scriptive. The effect upon the nation-we mean
the general effect Of change in the Administration
ing and the future is bright with hope, promise and
confidence. Wewl moi say that this Is wholly the
result OF the election Of Gen Taylor bnt we hones-
Up believe that election 10 have been great
Of this happy and suspicious condition of affara.-
The people OF llIge-our merchants, our mnnufac-
tnrers, our mechanics, business men generally
believe that the measures of the new Administration
will be liberal conservative and protective Of the
great interests OF the nation. Hence high degree
Of confidence Is felt and men venture into fair and
Legitimate business undertakings, satisfied that for
four years al least oil will be weil Only few days
since, one of tho most intelligent and successful
merchants Of this city, mentioned to us as crafty
ing sign Of the times, thar he had brig at that mo-
ment In the Delaware, laden with sugar and molas-
ses from Louisiana, and although two weeks Ind
charge her cargo such the press OF vessels at the
wharves of the Delaware in the immediate vicinity
Of the city. This be II remembered, in the COM
mercial world We trust soon 10 have an equally
cheering picture to preseat In relation 10 the
featuring and agricultural. In brief the beginning
ofhe civil career OF Gen. Taylor has been most pro-
Ingirer.

This gentlemen has not, it appears won any favor
among his constituents by his recent course in the
United States Senate. Amember Of the Legislature,
on the Esd ut, having expressed desire to intro
dnce resolution in justification of Mr.. W., was
fatty refused and the following day resolutions
were offered In both the Senate and the House CEN
snring him "lor his rencherous the slavery
question, and requesting him 10 either conform to
the wishes of his constituents or resign his seat in
the Senate; also warmly approving the course pur-
sued by Gov. Dodge" The House resolution was
referred 10 special committee Of three, and In the
Senate, al the request of the mover, Mr.. Boyd 1t
was laid on the table This looks as II severe re-
proof awaited Mr. Walker. The general opinion, as
expressed through the WING and Free Soil papers
Of the Stnie, is unanimously against hint being
distinctly inimntcd "ihat HE election was fraudu-
lently Obtained for had 1t been known he held
views on the subject Of slavery In consnnancc with
those Of Cass, Douglass, Hanneghn md others, he
could never have been chosen. AT public meeting
held at Racineon the 25th ult., he is charged with
having disgaccd the Statcn and is requested to re-
sign; his constituents considering him dishonest,
incapable, treacherous and cowardly." Much stron-

&e Our contemporary, the Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, despairing Of making any
headway against the Administration for just
cause, has taken to inditing fancy editorials,
protesting to give conversations between the
President and his Cabinet. If these mag
inings had any wit in them, il would not be
so bad, but unfortunately for the author Of
them, they only serve to show in what shall
low water he wades. The Telegraph has
Of late beenromancing quite largely enough
to its great hurt-and we are sorry to see
our brother Of the Pennsylvania resorting
to the same miserable subterfuge to keep up

report.

Zachary Taylor president--are little disposed to
Withdraw their confidence from the noble and hon
eat old patriot, simply because his enemies choose
heap upon him In advance If his official conduct

They have already seen that in the solitary evidence
Of his future policy which the President has thus far
been enabled 10 ohcr--appontmenls 10 offiee--hs
has eyinced a moderation and magnanimty which
In prominent contrast to the fragrant and extreme
system, Of prescription pursued by HIS antagonists.
His appointments have been limited and even among
the few that have been made, more than one Loco
foeo may be found, who being honest, faithful and
capable, is not ousted by generous and hgh-mind-
ed administration. When we bear in mind that for
the last twenty years, with The exception Of few
short months Of seeming Wing administration In
ls4l, the officers Of the General Government have
been filled exclusively by Locofocos, and that at the
accession Of Gen. Taylor Of his political I'D
herents enjoyed beam The sunshine Of Executive
patronage, we may to some extent appreciate the
kindness and iiberality of him who even in the flush
and first enjoyment Of power, leaves his friends UNI
rewarded that his enenlies may be spared. The
Taylor Republican beholds in this admirable trait a
token OF the future and they win cling seadasty 10

Gs- The Nashville, Tenn, Union COM
plains bitterly because Dr.. John Shelby has
succeeded Col. L. P. Cheatham, as post
master Of that city. It admits, that Col.
Cheatham's commission had expired, and
calls the refusal to reappoint him, a remopal
from office. When such respectable De-
mocratic journal as the Nashville Union de-
scends to such a miserable Misrepresentation,
what are we to expect from the Opposition !
Nothing, nothing but unrelenting hostility.

@yrOur whining neighbor, the Union, is
terribly afflicted at the appointment Of
Messrs. Towers, Donoaoo and Eddes, to be
Inspectors Of the Penitentiary, and by way
Of giving vent to its sorrow, It damns the
Administration for meanness, because it has
displaced their Democratic predecessors
from three Offices, only worth hundred
dollars year each. Now, we cannot help
thinking, that the meanness is on the side Of
the Union, for complaining that such insig-
nifcant Offices have been taken away from
the ofice-hating Democratic party.
