From the Salem (N J.) Standard.
BY for too little has been said in favor of the
present Admin istraton. The people seem to be
actuated by desire to let well enough alone, and
hence while we hear of but few laudations, at the
same time but few, even among it's "natural enc
mics" venture to condemn. The harmony of the
Administration is only equalled by it's efficiency
Like nice fitting but powerful engine, it per-
forms it's work noselessly and well. Discord
would turn all eyes upon it, and every man would
feel called upon to expose the defect attempt to
conceal it. Mr.. Fillmore is a man of decided tai
ents, and one whose private character has never
been impeached by the most reckless of the oppo.
sition. As a member of Congress during the New
Jersey broad seal controversy, he was distin-
guished a full 'head and shoulders" above most of
his ompoers for close attention to business tact,
and all the qualifications which belong to a model
legislator. As a President, he has lost none of
these attributes; calm and decided, we find him
fenrlessly discharging his duty as prescribed by
the Constitution. The Wing party cannot too
highly feicitate itself for comforting upon the ma
ton Chief Magistrate patriotic and 30 ca
pable.

Boeton. He was accompanied and introduced by
Hon. Amos Lawrence, the patron of the school.

Of the party.
General Pierce addressed the boys. "The sue
cess and honor" he remarked, "of an American
citizen depends much, very much. upon his own
exertions. Every boy before me, whether of Amer
lean or foreign origin, is here fitting to be an
American citizen; and 80 let him improve his OPP
portunities that he may become a blessing, an
honor, a support to his country" He made a
touching allusion TO his father, who he said was a
pattern of nobleness. He concluded by an earnest
appeal to the boys to be industrioue for each one
he remarked has duty to perform, and the school
10 the place to become fitted for the station which
hereafter he will be called to fill
The scholars entertained their visitors with two
or three songs, and brief exhibition of some of
their studies; and the guests then retired to the
primary school, in the same bulding, kept by
Mis- Emily Baxter. Here also General Pierce
briefly addressed the scholars and then retired, ex-
pressing himself highly delighted with his visit
The occasion was one OF deep Interest to the pupils
and will be long remembered as an interesting 9
event in the history of the school.

The above. which we take from the tele-
graphic correspondence of the New York He
raid, agrees substantially with statement fur
nished by the Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia North american.
We have no means of ascertaining the eX-
act truth of the understanding" indicated;
but if it be in any degree founded in fact, we
are at loss to know on what principle OF
honor or honesty it can be sustained. In the
shape in which it stands 1t is declaration
tina, Democratic majority-not content with
their Presidential victory aud the prizes which
it places within their reach--are resolved IL
withhold from Wing administration the pa

power until the third of March next, and in
the interim 10 bognd to take care that the vari

and abroad, do not suffer from neglect or any
other comfortable cause. n it prostitute its
power, the Senate may properly interfere to
guard the interests of the country; but 50 long
az the Administration continues in the strict
line of duty, we apprehend that the Senate are
bound by every consideration to concede to it
all that may be necessary for the efficient dis
charge of its functions. General PrERCE's
term is not far off now, and it will be but
seemly to wait until it commences before the

that for all practicable purposes the threatened
