What the Administration has bone.

! .
In these days of war against Rebels
and assaults upon the Administration by
Rebels at home, Republicans are prone
to look into the future rather than at the
retrospect, and in their impotence at the
seeming slow progress of events, and OF
the tardy approach to the desired sue
cess, forget what has been accomplished
during the last two momentous years OF
cur national history. Men are bewilder-
ed with details, and do not see the round
ed, complete national successes, which
the Administration has accomplished.
At this moment, when the rebellion be-
gins to totte.r, it is well to look back over
the field, see what we have gained, and
ascertain whether slight errors Of detail,
which appertain to every government,
are not overbalanced by the successes of
its policy The Philadelphia North
I, american sums up these successes as
follows:
Ist. 1t has made this Republic the
greatest military Power in the world.
End. 1t has retrieved the national cred
it, and placed it upon such basis that
it cannot again be shaken.
! 3rd. 1t has given US a national paper
currency, so far superior to the wildcat
paper previously flooding the country
/ that everybody reioices in the change.
4th 1t has given US protective tariff,
not likely to be changed in policy for
long time to come.
5th. 1t mas abolished slavery and po-
lygamy in all the Territories, and put to
an end forever to all designs of the South
upon our vast domain.
/ 9th. It's policy has enabled the people
of West Virginia and Missouri to rid
themselves of slavery by means of a judi
cous system of gradual emancipation,
/ 7th 1t has added Kansas to the Union
as free state.
9Th 1t has recanquered the whole
Mississippi Valley.
9th 1t has, in the midst of the war,
| held with an iron grasp, and fostered
and defended all the previously organ
lied and existing Territories, and has
also organized the new Territories of
Dacotah, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and
1 Arazona.
10th. It has fortified our Northern
border, our Atlantic and our Pacific
coasts with immense works, and given
us large and formidable navy, so that
we are in complete posture of defense
against any European foe.
1lth. 1t has reconquered Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, West Ten
nessee, Missouri, Northern Arkansas,
Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, and
parts OF other Rebel States
18th. II has retaken nearly every lead
ing city in the South, including St Louis,
New Orleans, Nashville, Vicksburg,

Newbern, Baltimore and Alexandria.
18th. 1t has recaptured nearly every
fort on the Southern coast formerly be-
; longing to the Union.
18th. 1t has developed enormous
financial power in the loyal States, far
exceeding any thing ever dreamed of
before in this country
18TH 1t has demonstrated that the re-
sources of the North are inexhaustible,
and that the most gigantic war cannot
impair them.
10Th. But greater than all, it has dem
onstrated the unbounded and invincible
strength of the national Government,
which defes rebellions, and is able to
, cope with any foe, internal or external
