? Many Of tic prevalent reports and
coniecturos concerning the action Of
government are untrue, and most of
them oxaogerate1 The course Of the
administration viii afford no just cause
for increasing the present excitement
either at tho South or North, as it will
endeavor fairly, firmly, and impartially
TO perform its duty as cases for it's action
may arise, always keeping the constitu-
ton and the laws in full view. The re-
mark attributed TO Representative keitt,

has been received here with much as

paper, aud his most intimate friends have
never heard anything from his lips that
would lead TO the belief that he ontcr-
tains any sentiment which is not warmly
in favor Of preserving the constitution in
all its integrity.
