CanvassIng the Acts of the Adminis-
tT4HfOn


There is wide difference of opinion among
leading Republicans in regard to the right and
the expediency of the people discussing and pass
ing judgment upon the acts of the Administra-
ton. We have already quoted the opinion of Mr..
Justice DAVIS, in his charge to the Grand Jury
vassed-the necessity for them, and the right to
make tsem," aud also, that ''we may, and will
differ in any great war. on the right manner of
conducting it. and the wisdom of the policy pur-
ued" These sentiments have the approval of
Mr. Postmaster General BLAIR, one of the con-
ago, Mr. BLAIR, aforesaid, addressed one of
the Union League" meetings at Baltimore, in
which he candidly confessed an uuenviahle degree
Of verdaney on the part of those who are entrust-
ed with the administration of our public affairs,
at period which demands the highest degree of
wisdom, sagacity and experience to successfully
conduct them. Here is the plea of the Postmas-
ter General, to which we call the attention of that
portion Of our citizens who entertain thei idea that
the managers of the party in power are immacu-
late:
" You recollect, my friends, that the govern
ment of this country has been in the exclusive
possession almost for the last quarter of a centu
~, of those who, when it wrested from them,
have turned to strike in dead. When you recol-
lect that circumstance. (and it is an important
one, going far to excuse such errors the Ad-
ministration may commit in carrying on its af-
fairs with the men who are now called upon to
administer them) and that these men are necessa
riiy inerpert and inexperienced in the great
Ures Of administration, because the Govern
ment itself has been in the hands of those who
have now rebelled when its control has been
wrested from their grasp, it will 60 far in modia-
cation of any errors which you may be called up
on, as lovers of your country, to deplore on the
part of those who now entrusted with power"
If Postmaster General BLAIR lived in the
province of Indiana, he would not have much of
a show.
