tration it may truly be said that it has been
emineRtly national Who can now doubt
the wisdom of its Utah measures? With
out the shedding of drop of blood, an
end seems now to have been finally put to
a rebellion, on the part of dependent ter.
ritOTy, which at one time threatened to be
no temporary affair, but to affect the peace
and prosperity Of perhaps the most 'impor.
tant centre Of the continent for years to
come. Kansas, too, has been quoted, and
her people permitted to 60 about their
daily avocations, no longer paralyzed by
the interference of Eastern fanatics aud
demagogues She has ceased longer to
"blecd" at their command. The settlers
there are fast learning their true interests,
spurning the men who have deceived them,
and, as q necessary consequence, rallying
to the support of the National Democracy,
as is shown in the result of their late cleo
tion. They begin to see clearly that ours
is the only party which can govern this
great nation faithfully and effectively, and
under which the new States admitted into
the Union must look for their future iu-
crease, wealth and social prosperity
While on the subject of rebellions, the late
fanatical demonstrations in Ohio aud Min
nesota in resisting U. S laws, and the de-
cisiVe manner in which they have been put
down by the .. S. authorities, are signif-
cant OF what this gentry will have to ex-
pect from Mr.. Buchanan's Administration
The men of the AdminiStration-wh
are they? At the head VIC find our able,
worthy and industrious Chief Magistrate,
JAMES BUCHANAN, directing n Cabinet Of
eminent ability. A statesman Of long ex.
perience, his intellect undimmed 10y dcclin-
ing years, his physical powers almost as
fresh as at middle age when he was an or
nament to the Senate, he is still enabled to
conduct the OnerOus and perplexing routine
Of daily executive duty most clliciently-
If his life is spared he will close his term
conscious of having performed his whole
duty ably and faithfully. Even his enemies
will then be ready to eXclaim, "Well done
good and faithful scrvantW With the
venerable LEWIS OAss as bis Secretary Of
State, Mr.. Buchg1an'S administration has
naturally proved one of the most remarka-
ble we ever had for its diplomatic ability.
Hence the praises which it receives, on
every hand, for its successful foreign policy
and for the new and highly advantageous
commercial treaties it has made with China,
Japan, Paraguay and other distant powers
heretofore comparatively unknown to our
commerce In this single particular, the
Administration has proved a decided sue
cess, even had it failed in every other meas
ure which we have above enumerated
That the mercantile interests in our great
cities duly appreciate these services we
cannot doubt, for they are the topics Of
daily remark on every hand where business
men congregate.
We wish that time and space would per-
nit us to allude to the other gentlemen in
Mr.. Buchanun's Cabinet as they deserve.
The fact that the Cabinet has remained u
unit, broken only by that dispensOtion of
Providence which recently called Gov.
Brown from the Post Office Department,
is sufficient criterion that their services
have proved eminently valuable to the
President. In future article we propose
to examine, somewhat in detail, the valua-
BILE services rendered the country, in man
aging its financial resources during the re-
cent period of unprecedented commercial
prostraiion, by Secretary Cobb; the addi-
tional efficiency given to the Navy and
War Departments by Secretaries Toucy
and Floyd; and the distinguished ability
brought to the Post Office and Interior De-
partments by Postmaster General Holt and
Secretary ThompsOn.--Bosk0n Post.
