RES oil beautiful trulsms.
But OF the great measures that are to be car
ried out under the Wing administration we hear
little or nothing, beyond vague conservatism,
which is safely considered as an nt-democrahc
doctrine. The old issues, as we earnestly con-
tended during the canvass, are "obsolete ideas"
The project of a national bank is dead forever

free soil is the pervading sentiment of the North,
and belongs by right to the creed OF the Wing
party; yet, as the .ddmniSt1 alton has not Shoicn

The National Intellgencer has as yet given US

respectable in sentiment; and always reminds US

trodden path, and excessively careful of soiling
his shoe buckles
The Courier and Enquirer lies swinging in the

TO depend more upon the winds and currents,
than upon the influence of compass, chart Or rud-

| The Commercial Advertiser maintains its usu-
al conference meeting tone, and like venerable
deacon in gold spectaces and white cravat, is a
very pattern of propriety. The Philadelphia

are probably highly instructive TO the proof read

In the meantime the great army of the oppos-

We have taken rapid glance at the present

give few "arlicles."

The NeW York Commercial Adrertiser, the oldest aud
