SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.


compliment to Senator Pearce, of Mary
land, in noticing the fact that an election
to fill the seat occupied by him is shortly
to come off, 1t Is to be hoped that the
Wing majority of the Legislature of that
State will not permit the ambition of any
new man or men to swerve them from
the duty of re-electing him. He has great
experience, in the acquisition of which
he has fairly earned position as one of the
leading American statesmen of the day
The Senate contains no more useful legis
iator than Mr.. Pearce. His whiggery is
as staunch as that of any other man in
the Union, while the State holds no other
who can be so useful to the Wing party,
as well as to the whole country, in the
Senate of the United States. We should
regard the act of banishing him from
public life, to make room for any one, we
care not who, as really little short of a
public calamity. The same journal,
commenting on the recent Wing victory
in Massachusetts,, says:
The political victory here officially
certified is the more gratifying from its
having been achieved by the Conserya-
tives of Massachusetts, over the combined
forces of Democracy and Freesoilism,
which, by making common cause, though
differing upon almost every point in poll
tics, have succeeded for the last three
years In obtaining and keeping possession
of the State Government of Nlassachu-
sets. This Coalition has now been sig
nally defeated, and, We trust, finally; for
we doubt if there ever existed for politi-
cal purposes more exceptionable union
of parties, each having professions and
aims, except in regard to the hOnors and
emoluments Of public Office, the very OPP
posite of each other. This fact has often
been made manifest in our columns, in
noticing the incidents or results of their
INSCRIPTIONS tactics, bxt never in Ian
guage so forcible as it was recently done
by the leading organ of one of the coales-
cling parties, when, before the late nomin-
atoms of candidates were made, it seemed
to expect that the Democratic wing of the
Coalition would have sufficient firmness
and honesty to decline a renewal of the
bargain which had already involved it in
disgrace. What was then so expressive
~ said is even now worthy of being placed
on record, as exhibiting in proper con-
trast the homogeneous elements of the
combination over which the Conservatives
of Massachusetts,, without any sacrifice
of honor or of principle, have finally tri-
umphed."
The Union gives an account of a recent
speech delivered by Governor Cobb, #
Georgia, wherein that gentleman manfully
stood by the national administration,
elicitiDg great enthusiasm, indeed, in its
favor. The same paper continues the
discussion Of the Anglo Cuban question
at considerable length.
The Sentinel gives the Washington
Union independent support" agair to-
day, gravely telling that journal that I'M
less it mends its ways, it shall be re-
luctantly compelled to "come down" on it.

doing much for the rest Of the Union, as tie
better prices for agricultural produce, labor,

in great part from the recent infusion of the
California element into the business affairs of
the United States generally, testify. She has
been jsH, most happily, too, on each and

now clear, that she is to be felt, beneficially,
for all time to come. 1t is the duty of all
members to build her up, if but for the ad-
vantage which their individual constituents
are deriving from her acquisition We trust
that her delegation, in both Houses, may make
