The Administration.

We very seldom meddle with Fed
eral politics and are disposed now to
Shrink from the tangled task, made
doubIy so by OUR distance from the
scenes of party warfare and the little
connection we have Herewith, but the
recent removal of the New York
collector Of Customs from, Office
has called forth SO much comment
from the Press of the State and Coun-
try at large, that We feel compelled at
at least to give an expression OF our
opinion thereon and to vindcate them.
The administration heretofore of pres.
ident Pearcc has been SO signally and
universally satisfactory, that some
thing more than a mere hasty and un-
guarded action of one Of his Cabinet

Gen. Cushlana's Letter.

The following letter from Attorney
Gen. Cushing to one Of the editors of
the Boston Post, is so concise and
pointed, and shadows forth so clearly
the line ot conduct set forth in the Res
i'lents inaugural address, that we ra,.
not iurbear laying il before Our read
ers, it will amply repay for pry;isa!,
and set to naught the recent attacks
upon the administration.
WAsnISGroN, Der. 30. 1853.
Dear Sir perceive that in several
counties or Massachusetts, coalition
senatorial tickets have been formed of
associated Democrats and Free suilers
My Judgment is that the Democrats
who have participated in this have done
worse than to commit fatal error:
they have abandoned Il principle which
is fundamental. Iu support or vote
for the Frccsoilrrs Of Massachusetts is
to give countcnancc a,.d power to per-
sons engaged avuwcdIy in the persist.
ent agitation Of the slavery question,
and therefore hostile in the EXTREMIST
degree to the determined policy of the
Administration. The President enter

lnS the only ones consistent with our
personal honor, the success OF the
Democratic party, the general welfare
of the country, the integrity ofthe con.
stitulIon, or the permanency Of this
Uniun. If there be any purpose more
fix d than another in the mind of the
President and those with whom he is
accustomed to consult, it is that dim
gerous element of ab"litionism, under
whatever suse or form it may present
itself, shall be crushed out, So far rs

FALL TURNlPS.

As from present appearances from vari'
Gus parts Of the country, there is every rea-
son 10 fear that there will be short crops of
the ordinary cattle feed raised, we think i.
our duty to recommend 10 our readers the
propriety of putting in greater breadth of
acres ofland in fall turnips, to make up for
the shortcomings of hay, fodder, blades and
tops the approaching winter. Turnips,
though not considered very nutritive in
themselves, make. when mixed with long
provender of any kind, valuable addition
TO the food of cattle, and, in the event Of e
scarcity Of the articles named above, would
serve an admirable purpose: as an adjunct
in carrying them through the feeding sea-
son.
Turnips, from their nature, as we'll es
from the short time they take to mature, re-
quire TO be literally fed, both with nutritive
and inorganic manures. 1t is, perhaps, un-
impor,an. of wha, the nutri,ive manure may
