The following extract from the Standard, print
ed in 1889, while Mr.. Loring was its Editor, is
so well suited to the present crisis and applies so
admirably to Mr.. Polk and his opponents, that
we spread it before our readers:


"The Presidents recommendations are pronoun-
ced, by the concurring voice of friends and foes,
generally the right and becoming course for our
Nation The Chief Magistrate who was yesterday
The target at which malice and falsehood aimed
their darts the Statesman whom . w WhIg press
denounced as unfit TO fill the high office OF PresI-
dent, sees once the way for his country In the
difficulty which presents ITSELF and points out, with
manly honesty, the conduct he shall observe; and
his revilers are senced or else become loudest IN
their commendations We 40 not complain OF
this 1t is right it should be; and it will ever
be in time of trial. Dangers and alarm for the
public security, when they really exist always i'm
pei men 10 look with confidence 10 the great minds
which best suited TO meet the one and quiet
the other. We hope to hear no more OF Mr. Van
Buren's inefficiency uDhtness Tor his high sta
ton. Let the people look back upon the miserable
slang of the Federal press about Mr.. Van Brren,
and observe the reluctant homage TO his wisdom
that this national crisis has extorted.


"lt matters little that in lDords some of his enc
mics still withhold the need of praise. BY their
actions it is shown that they do in fact contide ln
the President that they do kno1o he is in truth a
patriot and statesman. So soon the danger is
past, may expect that the old song will be sung
Overture false consistent or not; decent or
mdecent-no matter. The President and his ad
mnistraton are in, and the office hunters wish to
get them out; and few Of them will hesitate 10 use
poisoned weapon. But discerning just people
will see the source of this party hostility, and deal
with it according TO its deserts"


For President Van Buren, in the above, read
President Polk; and then reflect, kind reader
upon the really good things Mr.. Loring used
to saw.
