Spirit Of the Morning Press.
The Republic has leader upon Euro
pean war and American neutrality the
drift or point of which We cannot compre-
bend. The editor however argues, in the
course of the article, that the United
States have better cause of war against
Greece on account of the treatment receiv-
ed by DR.. King, the missionary, than
Russia has against Turkey at this time.
The Inteuigeneer presents letter from
its London correspondent of the LIST of
July, in which that erudite and pains
taking gentleman gives very interesting
synopsis of the news of the leading jour-
nails of Europe upon the Russia and Tur-
key question. The drift of their remarks
is that, Notwithstanding the threatening
aspect Of affairs. there can hardly be war.
The same writer also deliberately explains
the political and commercial condition of
England at this time. Indeed, the letters
of this correspondent are worth far more
than the annual price of the journal in
which they appear-being invaluable to
those who read to reflect.
Another correspondent presents in the
Intelligencer defense of the manner in
which the affairs of the Smithsonian In
stitute are conducted. According to this
gentleman, Professor Henry and his CO.
public services are so far elevated above
the rest Of mankind, that their labors are
not to be criticised by ordinary humanity.
We shall probably review this communi-
cation in our next.
The Intelligeneer further announces that
those having charge of the Metropolitan
Railroad project, have appointed a COM
mittee to wait on the citizens of Wash
ington, to drum for further subscriptions
to their enterprise !; complaining inclden-
tally of the backwardness of those inter-
ested, in raising the requisite sum.
Query.-Who's to blame? May it not
be the managers of the concern, in some
measure? .-.
The Sun discusses the propriety and
philosophy of party organization, taking
strong ground against it; basing it's posi-
ton, too, on the excuses and abuses of
party. 1t strikes us that while there is
justice in portion of the EDITORS remarks
in this connection, he is wrong in believ-
ing that the country would be better
without the division of the people in poll
teal organizations. The Sun also con-
tains large amount of interesting news
of the day.
The Union makes elaborate quotations
of accounts of current Qualifications over
the President and his suite at the north,
as sin duty bound" The same journal
raps the New York National Democrat and
Rochester Daily Advertiser over the
knuckles for continuing to war on the
Albany Evening Atlas, under the pretence
that the latter journal and those affliat-
ing with it are not sincere in protesting
acquiescence" in the Baltimore Demo-
cratic platform. The truth is, with the
chided papers the wish is father to the
thought" The game fthose represented
by the two hard shell journals named
above, is to prevent the Barnbuners
from identifying themselves for the fu-
ture with the Democratic party. They
will labor to that end, mark it, reader,
until they manage to get themselves in a
position Of hostility to the party at large,
almost as striking as that occupied by
the Barnburners in 1648.
The Union also explains for the fourth
or fifth time the fact that the platform
endorsing resolutions of Mr.. Champlain,
recently adopted in the New York Legis-
lature, are fully up to those of Mr.. D. B.
Taylor. ... ..
The Clipper criticizes, with symptoms
of dissatisfaction, the declared purposes of
the German associations in Baltimore.
