The AdminlstratlOn.--BoId
Ground.


A legitimate sour ce from whence to learn
The real sentiments Of the present absurd Ad-
u,injstrution is the colums Of the accredited
and acknowledged newspaper organs Of the
party.
Before us we have copy Of the NesO
York Weeklg Ners, dated July 8, 1858. The
Ne,rs is an organ Of the Administration, is a
Lecompton theet of the deepest dye--and
BucHAKAE Postmosters in Portage County,

quarters no doubt, are making great effort

before us odulahs JAMES BUCHANAN thus:

sleepless desire to administer the Govern.

its maturity, and in the honest faith OF it's
constitutional covenants"
The above extract, having established the
authority Of the Ne,Cs, with the reader, as an
Administration journal, we proceed to make
the following extract, from the same number
OF the paper. In a leading editorial The ed
itoT says:
"Slavery is blessing, the greatest social
blessing we, US people, can enjoy, il it viii

than that Of tongues, which has engenderec
the chaos which pervaded the seat OF all the

Spnniards on this continent. Such bull

: "A paper uttering such sentiments as thes
is high in the confidence OF the Administra

What say the anti slavery Democrats {

ae to the character OF an Administration an
party, whose organs avouch such atrociou
doctrines as these!
Will not the people think, and thinking
will they not have grace to act!--Portas
Democrat.
Our reighbors are mistaken. At tn
present time, the New York Netos has
limited circulation in this county, and "Br
chanan PostRasters" are not "making
great effort to increase its circulation anon
the people," A large club was formed
this village at one time, and the papers rt
ceived for year, but at the expiration I
the time paid for, the club was not renewed

the Ravenna Post Office, and that is receive
By q Republican! The Postmasters through
out the county with whom we have COL
versed, say that its circulation is very sma
compared with that of other city papers
The sentiments advanced in it are not aF
proved OF by the mass of the Democracy
snd to say that the party is responsible fc
oil its views, and that the Postmasters {
Portage county are endeavoring to sustai
it, is simply absurd.
