The Policy OF the Administrator and

administration relation to the New York feud, that We
might ascertain lis policy with certainty, and approve or
condemn It, as our Judgment should dictate

daily approve First, because We accepted that pledge
from The democracy northern and southern, from the
barn burners and hunkers of the North, and from the

Thirdly, because we desire their adherence 10 their
pledge, and intend TO give them just tor its VIC

Dickinson and errlng DIX were standing together upon
the platform, and sacrificing upon the altar

were doubtless sincere; and the incense which arose
from that altar OF patriotism could not but be grateful 10

But the administration has not succeeded in the app.

Massachusetts This to be expected in parts
OF wide spread country. II Is human TO err. The
distribution OF public patronage will always be attended
with dssppoin,msns, errors and feuds The President,
how well soever he may intend, cannot, in the nature
of things, always personally know, and must be some
times imposed upon.
