Some of the Dsuscratie journals have
made use OF the late elections to encourage
their 4Selmgs towards the Administration. -
Outside Ut the figures which the resups os
those elections affords, it is we'll enc ucb nm
derstood by oil decently informed men that
respect for the Administration Or any of it's
measures was not the principal, or clearly
made up, issue in any one of them. Con.
tempt for the Administration is conceded
on all hands, except that of the horde of Of
nce-hoiders and offce seekers who obtain in
fact or expectancy their bread and steaings
by its favor, with the personal friends whom
they influence; and it has not strength and
character enough of its own to enerrize a
great party in any State. Side issues, local
questions, and future calculations and ex pee
titions, were what gave to the late elect ions
all the vitality and significance which they
possess, s,-con6dence in the Administration
or appreciation of its character. gave them
nothing.
But eoneeding that it were otherwise, what
consolation can friend of the Ad ministra-
tion draw from an examination Of the re-
sultsP In Maryland, the Administration had
four out of six members of the old Congress.

sition vote is SO 500, which gives the over
whelmlng majority Of 67,l27 against it
ms is the seal of reprobaton viii ch Massa-

IS scarcely nearer unanimity than tae vote of
Maryland In New York, counting all the
hard and Soft votes together in favor of the
Administration, (and the Hards are not reru
warm friends of the Pierce cabAl. neither
are al the Sotts,) we have an aggregate of
l46,o52, against an opposition vsse of 2S2,-

most strenuous partizan can claim, a major
ity against the Administration m New York
OF l36,472, which certainly does not evince
an incredible degree of popularity to the
mind OF an re;udiced man. La point of
fact, the Administration proper has not
among the mass of New York people so many
as 10000 voters, and fair poll of its friends
would exhibit the surprising majority of
25s,566 against it, as shown By the late re-
suit; and that in State which for perhaps
more than three-fourths Of the time for the
last twenty years has gone Democratic.
There is little opportunity in all this to
srgue recruit of popularity to the Admin
istratioa.
BANK DIFFICULTIES. notes of the fol-

Suffolk Bank, Boston:
Rhode Island Central Bank:
