though unsolicited. was almost unanimous
in the Baltimore Convention. Without
any effort ON his own part. hewas elected
by the largest number of votes ever cast
for any presidential candidate. dis IN
ausural address WAS received with the
warmest enthusiasm all over the country.
Wing as well as democratic presses. al
most unanimously. applauded its true
American sentiments aud its bold and pa
irioiie tone. Every act of-his adminislra-
ton thus far has mel the cordial appro-
val OF the people. And that appreciation
has been expressed in a continued series
of democratic victories, at the ballot box,
from one end of the broad land to the
other. Such triumphs the democracy has
never achieved before. Achieved them,
TOO, against coalitions, combinations, aud
exertions, that seemed TO threaten defeat.
Over 10000 majority in Ohio. only re-

tiles or votes in every other State where
elections have occurred. Such has been
the voice OF the millions prououncing
judgment of approval OF the President
and his administration.

President and his Cabinet. have met the
cordial approval of all parties and pres
ses everywhere, with but one exception
the old fogy NatioaaL (ateltigsaesr. Such
then is the position of Presiden: Pierce be-

act approved by the entire democratic
press: and even large portion of the OPP

whelming triumphs of democracy all over
the land.
No President ever occupied position
to accomplish so much for the honor and
prosperity of the country. In the sure
protection ofour citizens abroad, or prompt
redress of their wrongs +; in the firm de-
mand for full justice and respect in all our
foreign relations and in all other just
measures which the president may pro-
pose or pursue, the people will sustain
him. We believe this is peculiar fortu-
nate for the country at the present time,
when there is strong prospect OF a general
war in Europe. To keep this country
clear of that contest, should it come, and
protect our citizens and our commerce
from wrong and aggression in its midst.
will require of our government watch
full eye, and bold tone, backed by ma
val force sufficient TO insure respect and
justice. 1t is for this purpose we hope To
see speedily a large increase of our ma
W.
But we have another aim in these re-
marks. The New York Herald, The
London Times, and The National Intelli-
gencer. are almost the only papers of in
tluence that have yet assailed the Presi-
dent and his cabinet. The first named
journal is published by Scotchman the
two last by Englishmen. The proprietor
of the Herald, Il is said, is disappoint-
ment applicant for the mission to France.
The correspondent of the London Times is
also alleged to be disappointment appli-
cant for Office f.; and the National Intelli-
gencer makes its fortune by opposing de.
mocracy. right or wrong, at all times, and
continually. 1t has been unfortunate this
time in its selection of point of attack on
the administration. 1t has taken the
Austrian side of the QUESTION in the Koszta
case /; and labors to maintain that side OF
the question even Austria has abandoned
it. We are glad TO observe, however,
that hardly another wing paper in the
country will consent to follow the lead of
The lnielligenccr in this gross and anti.
American absurdity.
The Herald also has been unfortunate
in he time selected for attacking the Pre-
,'irnt's Cabinet. and particularly Mr..
N rev. IL is Just after Mr.. Marcy has
issued one of the ablest documents that
ever emanaied from the State Depart
nent OF our Government. a document, too
;ha; has been hailed with almost univer-
sal appreciation and admiration. Just at
such time the Herald very modesLly un
der'akcs to have that officer dismissed
from his high place.
The London Times is not an American
paper. or friendly TO American interests :;
and. of course, has right TO assail all
American institutions and administrations
if it chooses 10 do so. But that an Anne ri.
can correspondent should furnish the wea-
pons. is simply disgraceful to the writer
himself, and can do the administration no
harm. However wide the circulation and
influence of the three papers we have nam
ed. they cannot shake the confidence of the
people IN the administration OF their choice
and whose acts hitherto they have ratified
in such repeated and unmistakable tones
of appreciation. at the ballot-boxes all over
the country.
