The Buchanan Administratio lon.

The Buchanan Administration.
The present administration still commands
the respect, admiration and obedience of the
people. Viewed from every point Of the polit-
ical horizon, it presents an aspect glowing with
the freshcning bloom of youth and vigor. Qui-
ct and content are reclining against the pillars
of the Capitol they are basking in the genial
sunshine of Freedom, while the glorious flag
of our Union floats unsoiled and unrent above
the colossal dome of the national house at
Washington. The President Of the United
States has survived the subtle attack of tie
treacherous poison; may he be equally fortu-
nate in escaping the blackening ISLANDERS ofthe
Republicans. No Administration is free from
the cares and troubles incident to the man
agement of complex government like our
own. 1t is true that the Executive is sending
some 1000 men to Utah, but this is merely
preventive measure, movement on the peace
order of things, and it is done, not to make
war, but to compel obedience to the laws and
the Government. Utah is the black sheep in
the family flock. Before we use the birch
and the rod, we must give her few lectures
on the subject of cebacy or polygamy-and
at the same moment that we hold up to her
face the Nervousness of her offences, we must
enlghten her understanding with the CLEAN Of
bayonetts. The Kansas question will be left
~. H. af hat tarr;l,,rxx N cattln for
themselves, which they will do without Diff
Guilty if political trucksters are only prevented
from interfering with the citizens, and their
affairs. Our difficulties with New Granada,
will be brought to an amicable adjustment as
soon as the new government is organized; at
least, such is the opinion of Gen. Herran dis
tinguished statesman of that Republic, and
also that of our resident minister Mr.. Bowlin.
1t is supposed that on the meeting Of Congress
at Washington, the Dallas and Clarendon trea-
ty will be abrogated, out of which new trea.
ty will be formed more satisfactory to the
rights of Great Britain and our own country. A
conflict between the Federal, and the State au-
thorities has occurred in Ohio, which is likely
to be attended with some difficulties, but as
this question partakcs more of Judicial, than
an Executive character, we must await the
slow, but final process Of the law to determine
the limits of Federal authority, exercised
through its officers within the limits of States
rule. Never, since the history of our confed-
eracy Of States, has the Democratic party been
freer from divisions and dissentons. Their
very salvation is identified with the preserva-
tion of the Union. Know Nothingism appeals
to mob law to gain ascendancy and obtain
power. Their bloody proceedings at New Or
leans, Baltimore, Louisville, Washington, and
other important places, proves this assertion
correct beyond the reach of successful con-
tradcton. They aspire to acquire authority
by breaking the established laws Of the land /;
numbering in cold blood their fellow citizens
while peacebly exercising their rights of citi-
zenship at the polls. The extreme despera-
ton Of brute force distinguishes their illegal
proceedings from those Of their extreme oppo-
nents, the Black Republicans, who love the
Devil because he is black, and view the disso-
luton of the Union with the speculative eye Of
a stock broker. So long as the people have
confidence in the President, and the members
of his cabinet, so long will the Union remain
intact Distrust soon begets alarm in the
minds Of the masses of the people, and that,
which in fact is merely vexation or treub-
le, is magnifed by designing politicians to
such degree as to wear the appearance Of a
great danger, or terrible calamity, and with
the most unblushing effrontery they proclaim
to the dear people, that nothing can save the
country but change of the officers of gov
ernment. These revilers, agitators and re-
formers, are often successful in binding the
people to their real designs in obtaining posi-
tons of trust and profit, and it rs not till these
patriots have robbed the treasury, and defraud-
ed the government, that the people awaken to
knowledge of the real character of these Of
flee seekers, first last, only, and we may say
all the time office holders.
