party from the National Administra-
lion will fail. Until some reason
more substantial and convincing than
has yet been given is produced, the
Wing masses will stand by the Ad-
mlnistratlop with an unfaliering de-
votion; though impracticable and
disappointed politicians may array
themselves against II. In this State,
where Mr.. Fillmore is assailed with
unequalled virulence by disappoin-
ted press, is this eminently true.
Though here great efforts are making
20 separate the Wings Of New York
from Mr.. Fillmore and the Admin
istFation, they have seen nothing to
Justify the attempt, nor is there any
prospect OF the success Of the scheme.
Mr.. Fillmore has ever stood high in
;he estimation not only Of his party,
but with fair men of all parties he
has always had good name and a
reputation for sound ability and en-
tirs honesty. No one regards him
either as a weak or a dangerous man:
but quite the opposite. In whatever
position he has been placed he has
done well; so that now, whatever
personal enemies or disappointed
expectants may say TO injure him, it
will go no farther to shake public con-
hdence in ;he President than the idle
wind. His Administration is securely
seated. His Cabinet embraces ripe
statesmen. experienced men and irus-
ted leaders; who, collectively and in
diddaally, are bound TO the President
by The strongest ties that mutual re-
spect, confidence, and interest can
forge. Whoever, therefore, assails
the President assails his Cabinet; and
the Wing who will assail Mr.. Web
ster, Mr.. Crittenden, Mr.. Corwin,
and their associates, must be far gone
towards Locofocoism or something
worse.
We invite the bitterest opponent
of the Administration, whether in
the ranks Of the common enemy or
as a seeding Wing, TO point out the
reasons justifying the assaults that
are daily made upon it. Is it said
that Wings are removed from Office
and other Wings appointed in their
steadl Investigate all such cases,
and you will find that in every in
stance the public service has been
benefited by the change, and friend
assigned the place OF an enemy.
Whoever speaks Of Tylerism in this
connection is bent purely on himself.
Did Tyler appoint Cabinet from
che Oldest and most trusted Wings in
the land; and did they, like Mr.. Fill
more's Cabinet, possess the undivi-
deG confidence of the Wings of the
nationl Tyler undertook to set up
for himself; Mr.. Fillmore stands
shoulder 10 shoulder alongside the
{Whigs Of the Union, having no aims
Sbut their aims, no desires but their
desires, no purposes but their pur-
Pcs~s The two are as opposite as
patriot and traitor can be. He who
bases his opposition to Nj. Fillmore
on the ground Of removals, signifies
that with him power and pelf are
paramount, aud principle and patri-
oiism secondary. Sifl the complaints
that are made, and you will find this
principle at the base Of them all.
Ascertain the character OF those who
make them, and you will find that in
nine cases out of Ten they have been
political adventurers and office-hold-
ers as often as they could get an Of
flee.
Such men, in their crusade against
the Administration, cannot carry the
Wing masses with them. 1t will
prove a fruitless endeavor. They
win but seperate themselves from
the Administration and the Wing
party, and ultimately find themselves
in the slough where boilers and mis-
chief-makers are certain to go.
