An ACCESSION TO THE ADMINISTRATION.

The New York Tribune, which in the winter of
1S60-61 pledged itself to do the best it could
"to forward the views Of the dsaffected people
of the Seeded States, announces in its number of
the 5th instant that it will hereafter fly the
banner OF Abraham Lincoln for the next Pre,i-
dency." The paper has for some time been waver-
ing between secret dislike and open hostility to the
Administration, but it now boldly "forwards the
views" of the insurgents by committing itself to
the support Of Mr. Lincoln after this fashion:
.sWe MIGHT, iudeed have better Administration; we
might have one, on the other hand, thousand times
worse. We shaH have worse before we have better
But it is too late now to take new departure. We
accept The situation NTH all lis difficulties II the
Administration wants vgor gire uigor; If IT wants
earnetness goe earnesess; ifit wants understanding

peoples conf ience; over~he!m it with peoples deter
nuation that ire and slavery stall never prevail

fset desert it, Never let its short comtngs
its oeaknes ITS short sighedncss and IT'S delays def at
God knows it might have done better; God atone
kno,os ho,o much toorse IL might hare DONE
1t will be seen that the Tribune, true to the
conception it has long entertained, and to the
theory on which it has habitually practised in
dealing with the Administration, proposes in the
future in the past to treat it as an organ that can
be whisted through according to the will of these
who blow the bellows and manipulate the keys.
If the Administration wants vigor, the Tribune
proposes to "gve it vigor;" if it wants earnest
ness, the Tribune proposes to "givc it earnest
ness J" and if it wants. understanding, the Tribune
proposes to "gioc IL understanding" And thai
it does wart all these is frankly admitted, when
accepting "the situation with all its difficulties,
our radical contemporary adjurcs its political
friends not to let the " short -comings," weak
nesses," short.sightcdness," and delays" of th'
Administration be the means of defeating the party
Surely Mr.. Lincoln is to be congratulated on The
support of the Greeley faction" as he calls it
support purchased by forfeiture of tho confidence

PIERCE COUNTY rNIOy CONVENTION.

Pursuant to previous notice, the Union
voters of Pierce county assembled in Con-
vention at the Masonic Hall in Steilacoom
on Saturday, May 2Sth.
The convention was organized by the
election of Hon. Cyril Ward, Chairman,
and Messrs. W. NJ Tucker and j. V.
Meeker, Secretaries.
On motion, Mcssrs. Meekcr, Billings, and
Randall were appointed committee to
draft resolutions expressive Of the sense of
the Convention, and reported the following
preamble and resolutions, which were unan.
imously adopted:
Whereas, The fundamental laws Of the
land vest in the President Of the United
States the Executive Power of the Gov
ernment, and command him to see that
the laws are faithfully executed, invasion
repellcd, insurrection suppressed, and the
public honor vindicated, without specifying
or setting limit to the manner in which
those vested powers are to be executed, it
becomes his duty under his responsibility to
God and the people he represents to guard
with sedulous care the National honor
against foreign assaults, and to maintain the
laws against domestic insurrection. And
honor and patriotism impose correspond
ing duty upon every loyal citizen TO stand
by the Government in the faithful execution
of the laws, to the last dollar and the last
man.
And Whereas, Tn Republic private
and local interests should be subordinate to
the public good, and the welfare and safety
Of the whole should be the paramount OBJ
jcct of all; Therefore be it unanimously re-
solved,
1st. That the prcseri ausclcss and afro
cious rebellion, inci,,. and inaugurated by
the Slave Oligarchy of the South for the de-
struction Of the Union, and the subversion
Of the Constitution, is without parallel in
the annals Of National crime, and for its
suppression We pledge to the Government
our unqualified support, and cordially en-
dorse the means put in force by the Ad-
ministration to crush the rebellion, including
especially the Emancipation proclamation.
End. That inasmuch as the existence of
slavery was the cause Of the rebellion, that
We arc decidedly in favor Of the employment
of the emancipated slaves to fight for the
Union.
Bird. That the Amnesty proclamation, as
a peace measure for the benefit Of repcntant
rebels and the augmentation Of the Union
army, We most heartily approve.
4th. That we are in favor of those men
for Offices of profit aud trust, and those
only, who are unqualifedly loyal, and who
will give to the administration their earnest
cooperation in crushing the present ini-
quitous rebellion.
9th. That since the commencement of
the rebellion, no middle course has been left
for the true man and patriot, aud all those
who are not fully and Internationally for
the Government are against it.
9th. That we will give our support to no
man, for any Office Of profit or trust, who
will not heartily endorse and support the
principles enunciatcd in the foregoing pre-
amble and resolutions.
Nominations being now in order, on bal
lot the following named gentlemen were de-
clared the unanimous nominees of the Con-
vcntion.
