The Administration of this gentleman thus far
meets with very general appreciation His object
has been SO TO perform his duty, with reference to
the rights Of each part of the nation, that he shall
be considered the President not Of clique, not Of
the followers of single idea not of Section not of
party, but Of the United States in all their extent,
with all their privileges, and under all the differ
ences OF their interests. He has succeeded, far
as success could be accomplished in the short Pc
riod OF his Administration. We feel that the Wings
who elevated him to Office have abundant cause to
be proud OF that choice which placed him where he
Is; for, while he is ready to pursue genuine Wing
principles whenever the proper and favorable OPP
portunity occurs he is equally as ready to consult
the interests of the whole country He is cmnently
entitled to the appellation of National Wing. All
the ideas that can be included in that term belong
to the character which his Administration is assum-
ing. We cannot expect, of course, that his man
agement of our national affairs will meet with
the appreciation of his opponents We do not
desire 1t. IL their principles are Numerically OPP
posltc to ours it would be folly TO expect their APP
prevail We cannot expect that his Administra-
ton will be acceptable to men with whom every
principle OF national glory and power, every idea
of the benefit of the whole, every feeling of respect
to the Constitution whose blessings they enjoy, is
merged in the prosecution Of a single idea. We
cannot suppose that disunonsts, wherever stu
ated, will commend such management Of our af
fairs tends to uphold the Union of the States and
perpetuatc our glory and our power, happi-
ness at home and our influence abroad.
Such being the Administration which the Wings
have given 10 the country, it becomes every mem
Der OF that party to rally around it and to support
1t in this most difficult and trying situation of our
national affairs. They should be ready to give it
all the support which their influence, their zeal in
the cause, and their votes can accomplish. In go
doing, they will make their party pre- emncnty
power 70 perpetuate the best interests of
try and the bonds of our Union.

our worthy contemporary as being ''eractly SINH
la'' to ''those existing in Boston," and he calls
for such proclamation preceding the employ
ment of force as that of President WASHINGTON
of the 9TH Of August.
The citizens of Boston have not yet repre-
scented to the PRESIDENT that there is any OBJ
strucion offered to the execution of the laws, or
that the officers of the Federal Government are
unable to discharge their duties; nor has any ju-
dclal certificate to that effect been granted nor
is it anticipated that any such certificate will
ever be authorized by the facts. Any man who
imagines that a mob can get the better of the
authorities and the order-loving citizens of
Boston, is merely infatuated. They will
meet at Faneuil Hall, and get up occasional
riots; but due care will always be taken of the
rioters. Witness in the last five and twenty
years the Ann street riot, to demolish some
houses of Indifferent reputation the kEAN riot,
to drive an impudent actor out of the city; the
Convent riot, fnnatical demonstration on the
part of the populace; the Broad street riots
between the fremen and the adopted citizens;
the ant-Aboition riots, in which GARRISON was
committed to the public Jail for safety; all these
were violent in the extreme, and alarmed all the
old women of both seXes-and in some instances
| 1t was found necessary to order out two or three
| companies of volunteers to put them down. We
do not remember that the magistrates called for
| the army and navy ofthe United States to protec,
| them on these occasions, and we believe that
there was quite as much need for them then
as now. The citizens of Boston can preserve
| their own peace and order, and will preserve
them at all ''hazards and to the last extremity
but if the unfortunate exigency should occur
| in which they may require the aid of President
FILLMORE to this end, it will be given without
hesitation to the full extent of his constitutional
powers.

sitions for their publication to be received from
the several city papers.

The POWDER MILL EXPLOSION AT CAMDES, ME-,
is thus described by MIR. j. IL. Walker, the only
one surviving of three persons who were at work
in the mill at the time of the disaster:
Mr.. w, together with Elijah Loveand and AL
exander Hopkins, were at work in the "pressing
mill, - repairing the press While they we're in
the act OF removing one of the large iron "power
scrcws' from its place in the bar at the top
of the press, it fell to the ground, striking a
large stone which supported the press. spark
was engendered, which ignited the fine powder
and dust about the press, which imme dately COM
municated the fire TO large quantity of dry pow
der in the building. This exploded with a report
which felt and heard several miles, blowing
the building into atoms. The magazine stood d few
rods from the mill, in which stored about two
hundred and twenty five casks of powder. II

ignited, probably by some burning timber piece
OF board blown from the mill. The xploson Of the
magazine felt in Bath, distance of sixty
mies All Of the buildings for quarter of a mile
around were more or less injured. Some noticed
near the scene almost Irely- destroyed. Mr..
Sweets house, which stood about eighth of a
mile from the magazine, was very badly shattered.
MIR. S. was one of the proprietors of the mill, and
must sustain a great pecuniary loss by the explo-
sion, but appears entirely TO forget his own loss in
his socitude for the unhappy families of the I'M
fortunate individuals who were xpectedly
summoned to appear before Him who holds the
destinies of men in the hollow of his hand. OF
these two buildings, with the exception of a few
pieces of timber, there is not vestige TO be found
larger than n man's hand. Stones which would
weigh two tons were thrown from their resting
place to the distance Of fifty rods.

Execution Of the Laws.

The Daily .adrertiser of Monday journal
which always speaks with prudence and con
sideration-makes the following observations
on the execution Of the laws in the city Of Bos
ton:
We begin 10 observe in some of the journals at
the South, as might have been anticipated, severe
comments upon the apparent triumph of opposition
to legal authority in this city. i, is much to be
regretted that the demonstrations of a determine
ton to resist the execution Of process under the
Fugitive Slave law, somewhat exaggerated in the
accounts which have appeared in various quarters,
together with the fact that warrants known TO have
been issued from the highest authority have not
yet been executed, should give much ground
for these comments. However plausible may be
the differences discreditabe 10 our city which arc
drawn from the facts they stated, it ia pre-
mature to judge, from the delays which have oc-
CURED, and the show of resistance, when in fact
none has been made, that the law will not be exc
cuted. There is no occasion for prscipitancy IN
meeting Of ,ohieh those who knop the people
Of the city Of Boston cannot doubt the result We
have little fear that the law will be seriously re-
sisted in Massachusetts, and if forcibly resisted il
will, notwithstanding, surely be executed"
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-11-06

unconstitutional and outrageous--that, there
fore, its execution ought to be resisted; ard
in the event that the PREsIDENT, in obedience
10 his duty and his oath, should employ such
means as the laws and the Constitution have
provided for just this exigency, then the time
will have come for a combined, armed, and en-
battled opposition. In other words, the journal
in plain language and without circumocution
1t is not secession or notification that the Jour
nal recommends. 1t goes beyond the bravadoes
of South Carolina, and throws Governor OUR
NAN into the shade. Ii is in favor of acting
over the scenes of BUNKER HILL and Stony
PoINT. tits in favor of attempting revolu
ton in the Government by means of an armed
force. 1t means nothing less. 1t could mean
nothing worse.
In view of the articles which have crowded
the columns of the Journal since the accession
of Dir. FILLMORE to the Presidency, we can
not say that we are surprised at this pronuncia-
mento. 1t is conceived in the spirit of hostility
which has marked the entire course of the
Journal towards the PRESIDENT and his Cab-
net. But we apprehend that in the present in
stance it has gone further than it will find fol-
lowers. Serious may be the exigency when a
leading and influential journal seeks to excite
an armed resistance to the laws, and defes the
PRESIDENT to enforce their execution, the pa
triotism and good sense Of the people must uti-
mately triumph over all such demonstrations
A seditious newspaper in this country may be
| able to stir up riot, but not to set on foot a
revolution.

PoRK BUSINESS IN THE WEsT.-The pork bust
ness in Aurora. Indiana, says the JVesterr Com
merciai Of the 24h will be prosecuted more largely
than at any previous season-one house contracted
for nine thousand hogs.
The St. Louis Republican Of the 2lst notices the
arrival there, from the Illinois river OF 49q lbs of
pork, and says it probable the last shipment from
that river this season, and probably larger amount
than will be received from any quarter until the
new article makes its appearance. This pork was
on its way to New Orleans and Eastern markets.
The number of hogs collecting in Cincinnati is
immense. The great crop OF corn this season is very
favorable to the supply OF pork, which will be very
large.

This road is now under contract to Waukesha
a distance from Milwaukee of twenty and a half
miles, and many of the sections are already so
far completed as to be ready to receive the tim

The intention is to complete this division of
the road in time to carry eastward the surplus
produce of the next harvest; and judging from
the energy and zeal with which the Directors
have hitherto labored, we may safely conclude
that what they say shall be done. Another years

locomotives from Milwaukee and Chicago, will
exchange salutations at Dubuque.

The Causes OF Removal.

Mr., Bradbury of Main has offered the follow
ing resolution in the U. s. Senate
Resolved, That the President be requested to
cause to be laid before the Senate all charges
which have been preferred or filed in any of the
departments against individuals who have been
removed from Office since the 4th day of March
last with specification of the cases, If any, i'll
which the officers charged have had opportunity
to be heard, and statement of the number Of
removals made under each department.
The resolution lies over, under rule Of
the Senate, and will come up for debate on
future day.
The Union says: We regard this movement on
the part of Senator Bradbury as an important
one fully justified by the declarations made by
General Taylor, before and since his election,
with regard to removals from Office, and neccs.
sary for the vndcation of every honest and
upright man who has been removed from o.
flee, under the present administration. We
hope the resolution will pass the Senate; ard II
it shall pass, General Taylor will either comply
with the request, refuse If he complies
with the request, the reasons Of every removal
will be known, and he will be tried upon the
merits of each if he refuses, he aoil thereby con-
fess before the acorld that his inaugural decldra-
tim on this point conueys an untruth, and that
erery removal, as interpreted by his o,on organs,
