relied upon proof furnished by democratic admissions
When carefully looked into will be found that all such
charges the offspring OF that bitter and unreienng
opposition the administration which originates In most
instances In personal disappointment and would sooner
the bill defeated than see The executive gam any
credit by its passage Most OF the journals which are thus
engaged in undermining the administration and manuac'
turing political capital for the wing press are now open
and unreseyed in their hostility 10 the President and his
cabinet Some OF them do not scrupe 10 utter the bold
est calumnes against them, and al the same time, pro-
Tess to be the advocates OF measure about the sue
cess of which the administration has manifested uniform
and earnest interest Others OF them still hide their OPP

hostility by uniounded misrepresentation of the

the distraction OF the party and the injury of the admins
ration than to the passage of the bill and the final settle

who sincerely DESTROYS TO promote the union and
OF the democratic party 10 lend to inslnuatons
against the frmness and sincerity OF the administration
The greatest danger which the bill has now to encounter
is from those who would make their support Of il sub
servieni TO their hostility to the admnisationwho
would the bill defeated than that the President
passage IL this point of danger is guarded the combined
efforts Of aboonists and northern wings will be unable
to endanger its success. We believe that i, will be
guarded, and that the great principle OF intervention
will be trumphantly sustained by the passage of the bill
But whether this point OF danger be properly guarded
not, the friends OF the will have any real
doubt the eaneslness OF that interest with which
the administration has constantly looked 10 its
the triumph OF great principle which will put end
sectional agitation and give additional strength 10 the
federal Union
