The WniG REVIEW for April has an
able defence of TIE Naturalization and
TIE Party, and strikes some heavy blows
at the opposition. We make a few ex-
tracts:
The present administration went into
power at the mos, critical juucture, our
country has ever experienced; and. though
it has not had the advantage Of a party ma
jori,y in either branch Of Congress, it has
carried itself through its difficult term Of
office, thus far, with sagacity and a sue
cess, that have silenced complaint aud
universal admiration. 1t has
had to meet the most momentous for
eign and domestic neutrality-suspicious.
upon the decision Of y Itch depended
peace or war abroad and other questions
which involved the issues of life or death a,
home, but it has favorable settled them all,
and has done it too without the sacrifice Of
a single legal sanction, a single moral prin-
C pie, or a single honorable sentiment. Its
strength and patriotic courage have never
fii!ed it an instant, under any pressure Of
circumstances, and have throLs hout kept
it truc to the only safe path. 1t may now
Justly be said, that at no period since the
foundation Of our government, have our
national affairs, both internal and external
been in more secure or a more honora-
bic position, than at the present time. The
Administration has been thoroughly Wash
in principle and in spirit, and
has been conducted with wise and com
prehensive. unselish, liberal, concilia,ory
policy every way worthy of the earlier
days Of the republic. Other Administra-
tons may have done more to startle or to
dazzle, but not one, it is certain, has been
more substantially useful"
The writer next makes rapid review
OF the pcri!s that beset the country at the
time Of Mr.. Fillmore's accession to power
tile various causes of discomfort, pertur-
baton and alarn1-,he remedies that were
propoi ed, and the wise and patriotic course
pursued by the Administration, the car
nest zeal with Which it devoted itself to
the pacilicalion Of the country. and the f.
dehty and vigor with which Federal au
thority has been maintained. He bes;ows
high commentator upon the great men
who stroveso actively to securethe passage
ofthe measures ofad justment. but declares,
that without the influence of the Admins
tration, the compromise could not have
been passed, and without its fearless de.
termination and sound discretion, it could
not have been successfully executed.
He then refers to the many useful meas
urcs that have been recommended by NJ
Fillmore, aud TO the conservative and
American spirit that has characterized iis
views and action upon all questions. He
presents most lorcibly the wisdom, digni-
ty and frmncss with hich it has borne it.
