N'KW YORK COMMERfilU.. TllK I’KESENT ADMlNiyTUATlON. The following paragraphs from the Lou- i isville Journal have the tone of that paper I —keen, Barea?tic, inercilesf’: j “President Fillmore acts prcci.sely as if : he had no bowi'ls of conipas!ion toward ; those ingenious editors who earn their i bread and meat by hunting up tO])ics , which they can turn to the disadvantage I of his administration. In the absence of all facts that can be tortured to the discre- ; dit of the President and his Cabinet, the ! poor Lwofoco e«litors are forced to tax 1 thoir inventive powers for .subjects of C(un- I plaint and censure. The results are not ; very creditable to them, for thoir fictions are gt'nerally utterly destitute of all those features which enamor men with the crea tions of human imagination. ; “We regard the present Administration a.s intolerably disyileasing to those who-'^e j business it i.s to fiml fault with it. It has : so conducted the foreign and domestic {>ol- I icy of the srovernnient as t'. give its ene- ' mies .sci’.rccly any chance of abusing it.— i Ilenee, whenever they hit u))«n a rare bit of scauflal, they are sure to make the best possible use of it. The non-removal of the c(uisul at Havana was a most delicious mor.sel in tlu'ir melting mouths, and, just as thov were up to the eyes in ecstacy with it, the President defeats all tlu'ir exiKH-ta- tions .and sends them back to their pover ty-stricken wits again for subjects of FiXe- cutive censure.” The ])rovocation justifies this severe re tort upon the opponents t>f an .Vdministra- tioii which has successfully conducted the affairs of the T’nioii through no ordinary ; troubles and exciti'inent both d)ni( stie and foreign. While stune pnuuinent individ- u:ds in the IV uiocratic party have jmblic- ly declared their high appro\al of the course j»ursuod by the' President and his Cabinet, and have given to .^Ir. Fillniori' and his advi.sers credit for patriotic mo tives and excellent judgment, the press has directed against them an unndeiitiiig hostilitv. WIk'U comjjelK'd to aiknow- Ic'lge the wisdom and propriety of their acts, it has recklessly assailed their nio. tivi‘: and when the patriotism of their motivt' was too plain to be successfully misrepresented, it lias sought tocastd^nibt iipiMi the expeilieiiey of the nieasiire. In fact the Heinocratic press has evineeil a (b'terminatinn not to give a Whig Iov- ernment :iny creilit for its pidicy, ht>wt.\er able its admini'fration.

The North was feverish uith .in excitcinent that supplied the adv(Kate of s. ee>~i' n at the Si>uth with new .stvun es of agit.it-.oii. To add to the difficulties of the Admiuistration, timid men bei aine alarm ed, and in the warmth of tiieir [»atriofism or their zeal .^ouglit to firecij'itate the Kx- eeutive into ciK'ieive and n prc'-ive action.

Ni> historian of tlie-e Cnited States can well have a more inipoi taiit era to describe than that from (leiur.il Taylor’s death to the ju’e.seiit time; and though President FilUiiore.’s Allministration may not boast of territories acquired iiy Coiiijucst coni- nicnced under its auspices, it will iiavethe |>rouder story to tell, of having overcome vast and complicated difficulties springing out of a war ot conijuest instigated and carried out by a jiridecessor; of h.iving overcome those dltliciilties, once threaten ing, in the ojiinion of some, thi' very cx- isti nce of this gloriou.s I nion, without for cible intervention, but simply by a wi.-^e j)cr.«ieverance in the employment of that vast moral influence whieh is insejiarabh* from the chief magistracy of this lle])ub- lie. Even the people of the Southern States, who once .seemed given over to dis union and all its evil tempers and perni cious results, are feeling the benign influ ence of such a wise Adminisfration, and are beginning to rebuke the demagogues wiio had seduced them to temporary alien ation from tiieir sister States. Whether Millard Fillmore be re-elected to the Presidential office, or whether some ' other giMid and tried Whig be chosen for that honor, or whether the mantle of the Kxccutivc fall upon one of an o]>posite ]io- litical faith, we shall always regard ->lr.
