The Opposition to the Admins
tration.
The Washington Uaisn issued the edict Of the
locofoco leaders at an early day after tae inau-
guration Of ZAcHERY TAYLoa-and that edict
was, that the new administration must be Top
posed to the bitter end"-opposed, right or wrong
opposed any way and every way-opposed
constantly, factiously, abusively. Straightway
the Northern Lccofocos and Free Sellers coal
esced against the administration, professedIy on
free soil grounds; the Southern Slavocrats uni
ted with the Norther1 coalition against The ad.
ninistration, precisely for the opposite reason
because it was against Slavery; and the old line
locofocos, who repudate oil tests on the Save
question, form third party in the coalition rs
the administration. of which old Richie of the
Onion is the especial organ They oppose the
administration because it is not of the old line
locofoco stripe. Such is the opposi,ion. OF
course the grounds of opposition are various: in
truth fatty contradictory land SO the upshot is
that honest men of all parties have the best Of
all reasons for scouting this homogeneous and alb
surd opposition: it is an opposition conceived in
inquity and nourlshed by lies. r
To illustrate this view Of the case we quote
the following articles-both from opponents OF
the administration, and each fatty contradicting
the other:
