PRESIDENT FILLMoRE-We do not be-
leve that there has ever been a more
able administration than the present.
Coming into power as it did, intlle midst
of most fearful and nnrelenting sec.
tional agitation, when an unadvised step
might have led to most direful results, it
has exercised a powerful influence over
the angry elements of strife, and they
are ebbing, as the storm-tossed blllows
from their unwonted bounds roll back
into calmness-We hope to return no
more for ever. Its conservative and pat
riotic course in the midst of these troub-
les has commanded the outbursts of pat
riotic applause from the lovers Of law and
order throughout this broad land. The
candid and intelligent among tne Demo-
Gratis as well as Wings. have alike appro-
bated the President aud his Cabinet
And we'll may they do it. Had other
counsels prevailed-had partisan Of
either OF the schools of northern or
southern Disunionists filed the Presden-
tial chair. we have every reason 20 be-
lieve that our beloved country would
now be afflicted with increasing section
al bitterness and enmity, resulting IN
certain and not very distant dissolution
of the Republic. Had other counsels
prevailed. the fatal blow might have al
ready been inflicted and we, instead of
pouring out patriotic and grateful re-
jolcings over great nation redeemed
from the damniug spirit of fanaticisln,
been weeping in the desoation OF ruin
ed but on.:e glorious Republic. And the
kindings of civil war might have even
now been blazing upon our hill tops. and
that fearful tocsin that calls brothers to
hostile field, been calling our people from
the peaceful pursuits that invlgorate and
adorn, to the terrible work of destruction,
both of a kindred and country.
But man occupied that position who
has shown himself equal to his position
and the occasion: possessing great mind
aud heart that are not hedged i'll by Sec
tional preiudices, but with comprehen-
sive grasp embrace the entire country, he
has secured the confidence of every sec
ton. The Cabinet is also able and patrl-
otic, and we do not think it injustice to
the distinguished patriots and statesmen
who have occupied the Presidential chair
to say, that there never has been more
able aud patriotic Administration since
the days of Washington.
Kuorrille f Tenn) Wing.
