The Position OF the Administration.

The subioined article from the Baltimore Argus ex-
presses the hope and confidence OF all the good men OF
be democratic party in The administration OF President
Pierce The task OF distributing federal patronage at all
,mcs and under all circumstances delicate and difficult
one Is now more than ever embarrassing triumphant
popular party, following the weak and proscrptive
rule of the late administration, presents naturally
enough TO the consideration Of the President many
eager aspants for place and distinction. We feel sat
satisfied that no Importantly and political pressure
could secure success for any such unaccompaned WIZ
the fullest possible adhesion &c the principles which, 10
the language Of the Baltimore Argus, were 50 eloquent,
" and nobly pronounced by President Pierce IN his IN
augura address on the 4,h OF March
Those whs journals which cepslFe the President Tor
regarding as eligible Office all those democrats who are
willing 10 stand good faith upon the national platform
on which be came into power, simply proclaim that IN
their Judgment the Presidents duty is to break up the
democratic union which the OF The people have
formed They do deny that the eec, OF such policy
on his part must be place Sewardism in power While
the utter absurdy Of such apocy in The democratic ad
minstraon apparent, is equally true, as the Argus
well intimate that the very life of the democratic party
is the nationality OF its creed The moment this is aban-
soned or DETECTED from, the democracy will lose Its hold
on the popular approval We believe tina, the men who
take office under this administration do upon just this
dea and with the further knowledge that 10 support the
democratic platform the whole Of its national bearing
as set forth in the Presidents Inaugural is much the
own duty and interest it is for the interest OF thC
country
