instructions from Washington, and supposed tnat
none would be given until the treaty was ratified by
the Canadian and Nova Scotia authorities. NJ
Leary, however, took different view Of the subject,
considering that all treaties the notifications Of
which were exchanged, and official publication made
thereof, at once became the supreme Law Of the
land, and paid the duties under protest, hold

what Has the Administration Done FOR the
County p The Record.
There is species Of impudence which ap-
proaches the sublime and it would seem as if
the organs Of the present administration intend
ed to monopolize it. Mistaking the cessation
of denuncation on the part of the public
against the Pierce Cabinet for a silent acquies-
cence in their conduct, instead Of constituting it
rightly as merely the silence Of contempt, the
central penny whistle, the Union, wakes bold,
and in a recent number actually challenges adj |
miration for the acts Of it's masters, and the |
able manner in which the government has been
administered for the last year and half. 1t |
might be supposed that the daily accounts |
from the several States Of the reputation Of |
almost every man tainted, or supposed to be, |
with friendship to the spoilsmen at Washington, |
would convey an unmstakeable notice to these |
unfortunates that their days are numbered but
perhaps, like eels, they are accustomed to being
skinned and now don't mind it. Lost to shame,
they endeavor to keep atioat by the most bald
falsehoods, and to stife the truth by their
brazen din.
The Union, in sfnming M the acts of the
administration, for which it claims in their |
behalf. public applause, gives The following |
inventory That they have made numerous
treaties that, unlike their predecessors they
have not squandered the public money; that
Galphinism and Gardnerism have not succeed
ed with them and, lastly, That they did not
oppose the Nebraska bill.
With regard to the treaties which have been
made, few words will show how much merit
can be claimed by Gen. Pierce's Cabinet. Gen.
Gadsden made treaty with Santa Anna, ac-

next treaty which the Union has claimed Gre

from the Pierce administration being deserving
Of credit for that it did all it could to prevent
it, and to destroy the whole expedition. Last
winter Mr.. Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy,
wrote to Commodore Perry that the preserl
administration did not approve Of the object
for which he was sent to the Pacific, that
they did not think it could result in
any thing but the most humiliating fail
ure and directed him to return home
at once, and to send the ships to New York
and Boston without delay II was an uncon-
ditional order, intended evidently to convey
censure upon the folly of Mr.. Fillmore and Mr..
Webster in sending Commodore Perry to Japan,
and marking that censure by breaking up the
expedition and ordering the Commodore home
almost in disgrace. Fortunately for the honor
Of the country aud the interests of commerce,
Commodore Perry did not receive this dispatch
in time, and he was therefore enabled to carry
out the programme laid down by Mr. Webster
And yet, in the face of these for Sccre
