uaIE ADMINISTRATION.

In the short time that has elapsed since the Ad
ministration of General TAYLOR held the reins o.
Government, Jfsays the Boston Daily ADVERTISER
the People have repeatedly had occasion to con-
graduate themselves upon the manner in which the
Foreign policy of the country has been conducted.
Under the guidance of this Government we have
avoided quarrels, and secured peace upon advan-
tageous terms. The next step is 10 make peace
with those of our neighbors who are in our hands
so far as power is concerned-batw whe are neither
our subjects nor rourenemies-we mean the Indians.
In Florida the new Administration found some Of
these exasperated against the Government and
active in attempting, by violent means. to procure
their supposed rights. 1t has snbdued and quieted
them, and thus added new boon of peace and re-
pose to the Republic.
On this subject the Baltimore American says:
The policy of President TAYLOR in removing
8 the Indians from Florida by peaceful means de-
: serves the hearty appreciation OF the country. 1t
',wasy easy enough to have provoked a war with
those savages-a war OF swamp lighting, ambus-
'.cades, and slaughter, involving the expenditure
of millions of dollars The lastFlorda war, which
continued for five or six years, and was terminated
in ls4l, did not probably cost less than thirty
= hardships of the successive campaigns in the
Everglades were of the seyerest and most trying
: kind.
",Gen. TAYLOR served in that war. He knew
. the nature of the country and the character
Of the Indians, and doubtless dreaded the contn-
:gency of another war. by the arrangement re-
Gently concluded under the management of General
z TwIGes, the whole Indian population is to be
peacefully removed from Florida, at an expense
: to the Government not exceeding $685. ,000--a
sum which would not suffice for the outfit and pay
Of q regiment for one campaign.
q We repeat that the PRESIDENT, by this pacific
6 policy. has rendered service to the country
8 worthy Of its most cordial approval. good is
: always achieved by the avoidance of an evil. 1t
: may be that the result of such wise forbearance
and ciroumspect sagacity may not shew forth with
: brilliancy-but the patriotic and the observant
: know how to appreciate it, ~".

THE CONSTITUTION OF MARYLAND.

On Thursday last the Senate of Maryland pass
the bill, which had previously passed the House Of
Delegates, proposing to ascertain the sense of the
People of that State to the expediency of calling
Convention to revise their Constitution and frame
of Government. The bill has thus become law,
and the people required to vote on the question
on the second Wednesday in May next. If ma
jority Of them shall determine in favor Of the mea-
sure the Governor is directed to order an election
be held on the first Wednesday of September next
for Delegates to the Convention, who to assem-
at Annapolis on the FIRST Monday in November, to
discharge the duties eonided to them and such
form of Constitution as they may adopt is to be
submitted for approval or rejection by the People of
the State on the first Wednesday in June. 1851.
So guarded, we do not see any reason to question
the wisdom of the measure. But, taking time by
the forelock, we adjure our friends in Maryland
never to suffer any amendment, or rather any
change in the Constitution, which shall include
Judiciary subjected to periodical popular election.

The New York Commercial is in error when
it throws out the intimaton that the dissatisfied
spirit Of the South is pretty much concentrated at
the Capitol in Washington, and that, if it exists
elsewhere to any extent it exists in state of very
considerable dffusion''-in error, we mean, if it
would seek TO produce the impression at the North
that there is need for the utraists in that Sec
tion to cease their present course and agitation.
We admit, and zoe are glad Of 1t, that the polih-
clans are AHEAD Of the people. This will prevent
the politicians from pushing their intentions beyond
what the people will permit. But the North ought
to know and to be informed that there is throughout
the South very " concentrated and deep feeling
on the subject in question, and that there is great
danger in urging matters any further. The Con-
servative Union Republican party at the South are
doing all they can to alay excitement and 10 re-
strain evil action. They will not weary in well
doing. But they hope to see corresponding ac-
ton on the part of the friends Of the Union at the
North. The South must not be driven to the wall
by the fanaticism of Northern disturbers. Let the
friends of the UNION now unite to do justice and
to save the country.-.4ieT. Gazette.
