The Wig publishes a long article from the
Warrington Sentinel, In which that paper ad vises
the Democracy to "cut the Gordian Knot" and
relieve Itself" from all future responsibilities for
the faults and follies of the Adminis,ration -
among Its faults it notices the placing of Jefferson
Davis. an extreme Southern secessionist into a
cabinet where he would be placed side by side with
Marcy, McCieilend and Campbell: the quasi com.
initial of the Administration by one of it's members
to the Pacific railroad scheme-a measure regarded
with adherence by the Democracy of Virginia and
North Carolna-the appointments of Ministers to
Foreign lands-the bungling Encouragement ol
Cuban relations-appointing Southern Governor
OF Nebraska and Northern Governor of Kansas,
&c. The Sentinel admits, says the Wing, that the
Administration has been failure.
