THE ADMINISTRATION

No ever succeeded to the presidency against an
opposition intensely bitter than that which resisted
the election OF Mr. Buchanan, There elements in
the campaign of 1856 more iniammatory than had en-
tered into any previous Legitimate questions
political interest wholly ignored No matter whether
the currency paper gold matter whether the
tariff protective simply for revenue ;
matter whether taxes high or low--these ord
nary and proper topics forgotten in the ror of
naticsm We call it tanaticism, for such it What
but anaticsm could have instiled into the patriotic
northern mind contempt for the constitution and laws
and hatred of the Union of the States What but fa
nacsm could have organized purely sectional party
against another section of the confederacy What but
fnaticism induced preachers Of the Gospel TO forget their
special duties SO far preach revolution and subscribe
sharpcs rifles to effect It'll What but fanaticism deputed
armed men to Kansas, and welcomed intelligence Of
rapine and bloodshed peculiarly conducive to party
success
We are right then In designating natical that OPP
position despite which Mr. Buchanan elected to the
presidency We don't charge dishonesty upon the
who voted for Fremont. They were deceived by sys-
tcmatic falsehood and deeply treason. They
know it now They are awaking from their delusion.
They know that they deceived and betrayed
The administration Of Buchanan WISE just i'm
partial and withal energetic already well nigh
annhilatcd all opposition to it. Newspapers whose
tenance depends the continuance of the republican
party politicians who have damned themselves forever
in the event that repubcanism is overthrown may still
bo heard finding fault with Mr.. Buchanan. But THE
PEOPLE everywhere speak out in his favor The most
ultra republicans among the have the magnanim
ty and the independence speak out in his praise This
settles the question The people still rule in this ooun-
try and politicians and newspapers nothing without

OUR CARRYING TRADE.

1t is fact worthy of notice, in considering the
vast amount of the worlds carrying trade which is
hoated in American bottoms that during the
past year or two we hear more of the complaint
at one time made, and with much Justice, that our
flag did not participate on terms Of equality with
those of other nations, in supplying even our own
markets with Peruvian guano We believe our ship
pers are now entirely satisfied in that regard, and
that the immense debt secured to England by Peru
from the proceeds Of the guano sales does not now
give any undue advantage to the British flag in
porting the article from the Chincha islands, what
ever it may have done in years past In illustration
Of this we would mention the fact that during three
months ending with September last no less than
26 6s5 tons of guano set down at invoice value of
upwards of 81 ,5O0,0 900, entered at British
port alone waiting for orders and that every ton of
il was foated under the American flag The import
ance of this fact can be better estimated when we
consider that in 1856 there were imported into the
United States from Peru, under all flags only 39O7s
tons, or 1893 tons more than imported into
British port in three months, exclusively in Ameri-
can bottoms. This fact speaks well for the prosper
GUS and elastic condition of the navigation interests
Of the United States.

THE AGGREGATE VOTE IN NEW YORK

For the purpose of weakening the effect of the
recent verdict Of the people of this State says the
Albany Argus) in favor of the democratic party and
its principles, the opposition press affects to sneer
at the smaness Of the vote. They say that the peo
pie were kept from the polls by the hard times; /;
and that the result is to be taken rather as the ev
dence of their indifference than the expression of
their political opinions.
But this is not true. The vote is the largest ever
given at an election of State officers (oher than gov
ernor) since the constitution was adopted.
There have been five elections for State admins
trative officers, comptroers, secretary Of State, at
torney general treasurer, &C., since the adoption Of
the constitution, which have drawn out the follow
