The Administration.

We are Of the number who laborrd assid.
uonsy, AMI against many adverse circum-
stances, so far rs the campaign in this State
was concerned. 10 bring into mower sound
thorough, efficient Wing Administration,
Contrary to all our original prcjudiccs, we
began to discover, sometime before his nom.
inalion, that Gen TAYLOR had an eminent
fitness, in that particular emergency, for "A
standard bearer in the Presidential contest.
We thought his nomination one especially
" fit TO be made" and the result has shown
that the confidence of his friends WAS well
grounded. His first message was decidedly
Wing. The lire Of policy he marked out
for the disposal of the Slavery question:
commended itself to the judgment Of al so
bee and reasonable men, in all parts Of the
Union. Had that policy prevailed, we still
believe, Il far different and much better
state Of filings would have existed at present.
But he was outyo:cd, and he Compromise"
in all It's main features was passed.
In the midst Of his Administration, and
with his views as TO the remaining branches
Of the public policy not yet carried into cf-
feet, President TAYLOR was suddenly rcmov.
el by death. \ new dynasty was establish
ed, under the auspices Of Mr.. FILLMORE.
At the head of the State Department, Mr..
WEBSTER, the ablcst man in the Wing ranks,
was duly installed. The other Departments
were entrusted to The care of Wings Of le-
cdcd talent, influence, and activity The
new President. in his first message, assumed
positive. though moderate Wing grounds,
and recommended, not SO fully, we presume,
what he believed the colatry really needs,
as what he hoped an Opposition Congress
would be willing to grant. Indeed, very few
Democrats at the North, we believe, looked
upon any of his recommendations with much
disapprobaion.

the result could have been no worse. Tie
truth is the WINGS OF NEW ENGLANo

this subject. in far more decided manner
than they have yet done.
There are manifest symptoms. VIC think
Of rupture with the Administration, on tho
part Of those New York Wings headed by
Mr.. WEED, AMI somewhat chan yeably and
uncertainty supported by floRAcE GsFr-
LEY. In this State, the Montpelier Watch
man, and one or two other papers, seem tc
have decided tendency in lie same diroc
ton.
That Tie great majority OF the people o.

would have the President, whatever may b.
the complexion Of Congress, firmly maintain
