FIR. FlILmonE and hi. ADMINISTRATION

We have recently seen short article TO
ing the rounds of the Wing Press compli-
menting Mr. Fillmore and his Administration
which, II We had not misplaced it, we should
have transferred to our own columns as well
earned tribute to deserving administration
The loss of it, however, shall not prevent us
from expressing our lively appreciation ofthe
manly, just, and patriotic tone Of the Admin
istration and Of the honest, straight forward
and conservative policy which characterizes
its acts Riding into power on the storm
and the tempest which convulsed the whole
body polite and threatened to plunge its dis
integrated parts into one choatic mass of jar
ring and belligerent elements. Mr.. Fillmore
planted himself upon the Constitution and
Laws, and trusting implicitly to the patriot
ism Of the masses for support, he sought, by
moderation and fr:nness, to direct and con-
troll the fury of the storm, whose strength it
was impossible abruptly to stay. Whilst his
administration is emphatically Wing, its ends
are no less national and benefcent, seeking the
good Of the whole country regardless Of the
mere paltry interests of party. A policy
thus founded in honesty. sanctioned BY pa
triotism, and commended by wisdom, could
not fail to attract to the support Of the Exc
cutive, in the hour of need, the enlightened
and liberal Of all sects and sections and hence
we find him invested with public confidence
which, however much the factions may be
disposed to carp and cavil, will still consti-
tutc secret well spring Of hope in the boz
som Of many who nave not even the frank
ness to avow its existence
| Eor oun VIC ara gfroa IN onnfoco that tho
President, however ardent may have been
our hopes, has more than fulfilled our expec-
tations. We feared the influence of the
Northern factions. which, we had too much
reason to apprehend, would be brought to
bear upon his policy. a false step or fall
tering policy would have plunged the coun-
try into irremedable ruin. Throughout the
Union the most intense anxiety was felt, to
know "what manner of man he is" How
happily was that dispelled by the rcassuran-
csc Of the Message that, the rights of the
States should be respected and the laws oil
the Union faithfully executed! All breathcd
the freer for these renewed assurances, for
all felt they were too honestly made to be
shamelessly disregarded. The result yindi-
Gates the confidence thus generously bestow-
ed upon him.
The course of the President has been so
honestly patriotic, WISE prudent and coneil-
iatory, as absolutely to dlsarm the more lib
eral Of his opponents of the ordinary weapons
of cavil aud criticism The fanatics OF
course revile him, but their censure is more
tolerable than their praise Verify Mr.. Fill
more's administration is at this moment one
of the wisast, bost, and most popular that
the country has known since that of Wash
ington; and for the simple reason that he
has done his duty and done it, too honestly
and ably Lynchburg Trginian.
