The New York Globe puts the following qpes-
tor, to which we must give the Mexican reply
Quisn Sabe Can't some OF the organs who are
striving ito keep both parties alive" throw some
light on the subject!
WILL THE WHlGs END0RsE THEIR OWN Ap-
MlHIsTRATIoN ?-The Washington Republic ha,
no notion ofexcusing the Wing Legislature from
passing resolutions in favor Of Mr. Fillnore's
Administration, and the measures sanctioned by
il. In reply TO the Washington correspondent
Of the Courier aud Inquirer, which controverts
the propriety of the adoption Of such resolutions
the Republic says:
I'VE do not know by what authority the cor
respondent of the Courier undertakes to speak
respecting "the sanction or encouragement OF
the Administration" inasmuch NJ from his an.
tecedeDts he would be about the last person
in the city likely to be well informed upon that
subject Contrary, indeed, to what he hears
and writes, zoe hear and believe, that the Admin
istraion soouid feel grafGsd in haring The pri,,-
ciPles and recommendations SET firth in the Pre-
sidenfs message approved by Wings in all quar-
iers, and especially that part Of the message
which acquiesces in the Adjustment bills, and
pronOunces them "final"
The adjustment, We are told here, az II Off
claiIy, was not part Of Wing policy. We do
not know that. The parliamentary father of
these bills was the Hon. Henry Clay, whose
"Whig policy" for some half q century, few
Wings have been accustomed to doubt They
were advocated and defended as measures of
settlement by no less Wing than the present
Secretary Of SHe. The President himself, in
his Texas message, boldly took the most difficult
and dangerous item of the adjustment pur-
chase from Texas of her claim to New Mexico
under his own especial patronage. The ad-
justment. therefore, if such signs mean anything,
was part Of the Wing policy; and, If it were
not, the recommendation of the President, ap-
proved by all the Cabinet, and by large ma
jority of the Wing members Of Congress, that
these measures be regarded as a 46nal settle
ment," certainly make the peace measures Wing
measures"
This is all plain and unequivocal. Will
Messrs. Weed and Seward permit Mr.. Fillmore
to 'feel gratifed in having the principles set
forth in the message approved by Whigsw We
apprehend that no such fragrant incense will
proceed from the "woolly heads" at Albany.
