PlOgTS mme Of the Administration
The Washington correspondent Of a lead
ing Northern journal says, writing on the
Sth:
''It is now well understood here in well IN
formed circles that the President is deter
mined to Go what he thinks right, no matter
low bitterly he nay Be aSssiied for II. He
Goes not believe that an unsuccessful rebel
lion has destroyed tie rebelhCuS States or
their constitutions, and he will leave the
cues ion OF Suffrage 10 DC decided by those
who have the right to decide it. 1t would
not be q. all surprising ii an administration
patty should he formed Ouj Of the recent pO-
l,ical parties which viii give TO Mr.. Joan
sons administration very much of the yigOr
and strength which characterized the admin-
istratiOn ci GOucral jackson"
Another highly respectable authority says
"Tho President has laid down certain rules
for his government, among which are to be
understood Tie following:

Intelligence cr this character, though in
the form OF rcyCIt only, viii have a tendency
10 trsuquuize aud rc-assure the minds OF our
people. We d. not mean to imply that
there las been any greater distrust Of the
President than tie suNicues Of the times
would naturally create ss TO any one-but
The people Of the South could not be other
wise than peculiarly sensitive, at this time,
10 all indications Of the temper and policy Of
an administration Tat is to be in a large
measure - agbicr Of thei. fate. They
watch with eager and acute eyes all move
mcuts, agencies and influences 10y which the
course Of tho Executive is sought TO be
affected -apd they receive with cordial salts
faction every evidence or assurance that
moderate. eoreiaa,ory and conservative
couuSc.s mad favor with him. IL is true
