The Course Of the Admiwistrattom-G General Cau

The Co1rse Of the Admimiaratton-Ge General Cau
and Garibaidt, &C., $c.
The administration has quietly resolved to do :
good many things in quiet way, and without DO
sitively having the appearance of making war on
the friends Of the late President. II wishes TO
avoid division in its own ranks, which is never
theless, unavoidable but which it is desired
shou d come gradual, rather as a consequence OF
events than OF any rule Of action adopted by the
President and his Cabinet. President Fillmore
iauers himself, perhaps very judlciously. with the
belief that silent amnesty granted to all political
offenders is more calculated to win him friends
than the handing them over to the executioner.
few examples will nevertheless be made of the
most daring of the Seward men, not so much from
vindictveness as for the purpose of checking dis.
obedience and disloyalty in others. Ga the whole,
the administration of Mr. Fillmore will be distn-
guished for tolerance, forbe arance and moderation

MY opinion certainly is, that the Senate bills
will pass The House; but that for that purpose it is
ne cessary TO pass the territorial bill for New Mex-
leo first, and then the Texas boundary. Revers.
ing that order would be looked upon by the de-
mocfas as a want OF earnest on the part of the
friends OF the administration 10 do their duty by
the measures Of compromise, and endanger the
passage OF The bill. Forewarned forearmed, is an
old adage.

The result Of The late tariff caucuses is flash

the General Appropriation bill, providing that TO-

their average value at the ports into which they
are brought-in other words, on the principle of a
home valuation in the stIictest sense. Let US

ton Of thirty per cent, would bring up the Price
to some $33 But al phiadelphla, according TO
the home valuation, the same ton Of iron ought TO
lie worth $40, aud tarll OF 30 per cent upon that
valuation would be equal 10 a duty Of fifty per
cent upo2 cold non under the valuation Of the act
Of 1886 The amendment proposed, therefore,
simply contemplates 10 raise the tanf upon iron
