The atisopc qualities Of this Solution, owing TO
the presence of so much carbonic acid, have been

The NEUTRAL PREss.-The news
paper Press, is generally, and to a certain
extent justly, regarded rs the exponent Of
public opinion. Daily and weekly adj
dressed to the public, newspapers havean
public opinion, while at the same time,
their success is proportionate to the fdel-
ity and accuracy with which they repre-
sent popular sediments aud opinions.
The large majority, however, of our
journals are devoted to the cause of POI
litical party. Their motto generally is,
"Our party, always, our party, right or
wrong" They are therefore, rs the or
gans Of political party, the representa-
tiyes only Of The political views Of the
party 10 the support of which they are de
voted. The articles, VITA which their
columns are flied, not only upon poIiti-
cal, but upon commercial and even lite
rary and miscellaneous topics, are all tin
gcd to greater or less degree with the hue
Of their peculiar political views. They
cannot therefore be regarded as the true
opponents of public opinion. They rep
represent only the political views of that
portion Of the public who constitute their
party,
There is, however, another portion Of
the newspaper press, which is neutral so
far rs politics is concerned We do not
mean those newspapers which are pure
" lterarv-such as the Mirror, the Cas-
ket, the Evergreen, 65c--but those which
take wider scope, and touch generally
upon topics ofpubic interest-slch rs the
Signal, the Sun, the New England Re
view, aud Others of il similar cast.
This latter class of papers may more
justly be considered as the exponrnts of
public opinion. -UntralnmelIed By any
party purposes, they "hold the mirror up
to nature" that exists III their day aud
time aud the opinions that are forming
and developing.
Now whence do we see launched the
shafts Of opposition to orr cause. From
a fer Of the a'tra portiean papers alone.
The neutral papers are generally favora-
bic to our cause or at least si!entupon the
question.
This has often struck lis with much
force as we perused the numerous papers
on our exchange list daily brought MS by
the mail. From this, as well as from
other sources, we have derived the assu-
rance that though for the present other
objects may be expressing public atten-
ton; yet our cause has taken deep hold
upon the American people, that during
thecoming four years of comparative polit-
zeal qnietude, our object will be fully ac-
conlpliShed, and THE NATURALIZATION
LAWS REpEALpD.-M @. Natipe Amer-
acau.
