The Administration.—The Newark, N. J. Advertiser says :

If the present Administration have not manifested an honest desire to do their duty to their own country and foreign nations, then there never have been Magistrates who did. They used the means under their command to prevent the invasion of Cuba; and when their good intentions were defeated by the connivance of the Collector at New Orleans, they turned him out of the office he had betrayed. They strenuously, at a critical moment, held up the shield of power to defend the Constitution; and have ever since, without flinching maintained a bold and frank position in maintenance of the laws passed in loyalty to that fundamental bond of Union. For the sincerity of their profession of a firm determination to execute the laws, they have also given a pledge in the elevation to the Supreme Bench of Mr. Curtis, in the room of Justice Woodbury. Thus have they exhibited the impartiality of an upright Magistracy: which looks at right and justice in the exercise of official trusts, without computing, how they may affect the fanaticism of the North, nor the machinations of the South.
