SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union discusses the hypocrisy Of
Britains' alleged philanthopic efforts for
the suppression of the African slave trade,
showing that she is in fact aiming to per-
petuate it under another name, and only
for the purpose of Africanizing islands
Immediately on our borders, by way of
injuring the United States. The editor
of the Union in another article headed
The Democratic party, its Origin and
Destiny" exposes at length the purposes
of those claiming utilization with the
party" who are moving heaven and earth
as itwere, to defeat the success of the Pres
dents plans for making an economical
administration of the Government. He
takes up and holds between thumb and
finger independent supporters" of the
Administration, who thrust at the Cabi-
net by way of clearing from their path
those guardians of the Treasury; and he
also shows up the motives of the disap-
pointed Offce-seekers, who are aiming to
get revenge under the false pretence that
the Administration have bestowed Office
what they are after) on persons who do
not stand on the Baltimore Democratic
platform. However, it strikes us that he
is throwing away his ammunition; as all
the world know precisely how to appre-
ciate the sudden political hostility or
somcrsets of disappointed office-seckcrs of
either party. They are VIGOROUSLY al
ways the most bitter revilers ofevery new
administration: exposing their own shame
by public demonstrations, as though all
witnesses were not well aware that their
personal disappointments alone make
them SO conduct themselves, as to prove
positively that their political position
depends wholly upon what they can
make by being on this side, or that.
They are well known to be mere Pam
dours, advertising their willingness to
fight on any side for pay. Such demon-
STATIONS arc almost enough to make hon.
est men avoid politics, as though it were
the leprosy. Nought but the necessity
for keeping our country out Of such hands,
can induce its sincere and non-office-seek-
ing citizens to interfere in politics, amid
the disgust created by the tergiyersations
of such political hucksters.
The Sentinel's editorial columns are de-
voted to the consideration of the Cuban
and Sandwich islands annexation qucs-
tons.
The Intelligeneer rejoices over the re-
suit Of the election in New York, pre-
dieting that it will at once render the
Administration next to powerless every
where. Really, our neighbor does seem
to be suddenly bitten with hard affec-
ton: as not many days since, in a pow
erful article, he demonstrated, to the sat
faction of all reasonable men, that the
policy of the Administration, with refer
encc to New York affairs, was eminently
wise, patriotic, and national.
The Clipper devotes two columns to
"The Home of Popery," and "The Crazy
Popedom."
The Sun discusses the morale of the
recent elections in New York and Mary.

marks in the course of its article on the
