Spirit Of the Morning Press.
The Sentinel is again upon New York
politics, republishing the speech OF James
T. Brady at the Park meeting, as truth
full exposition of the Democratic politics
of the State. The editor (disclaiming au-
thority for SO announcing, however, in
sists, in effect, that the President does not
lean towards those of his party in New
York who not only endorse the inaugural
and the platform, but also the policy of
his administration, in preference to those
who fail to endorse his policy aforesaid.
The Union also discusses New York
politics, for the first time noticing the
coalition between the " Silver Grey"
Wings and the Hards" which has been
so vehemently urged of late in the New
York Express, on behalf of the former and
the National Democrat on that of the lat
ter. The editor is evidently of opinion
that the anti-Administration Democrats
will be thoroughly in opposition ere long.
The organ further discusses the means CT
getting United States troops to our Pacific
country, in view of the recent order from
the War Department sending consider
able body there, and the great necessity
of their immediate presence in that quar-
ter growing out of the hostile condition of
the California Indians. In this connec-
ton the editor makes a very important
exposition concerning the position ofGen.
Jefferson Davis with reference to the Pa
cific railroad project, as follows:
1t brings foreibly to mind the necessity of
such mode of transportation. if instead of
Indian hOstilitics, we were threatened with a
descent by one of the powerful nations of the
world upon our Pacific possessions. 1t was in
view of such state of things that Col. Davis
suggested, some time since. the Importance of
the Pacific road as a military defence That
suggestion has been most grossly perverted
and misrepresentet into concession by him
of the power by Government to build a road
from the Mississippi valley to the Pacific, re-
gardless of the rights and jurisdiction of the
States. We have had occasion to repel this
uLjust inference, and to place him where he

The Iatelligencer discusses at length
the point in Secretary Marcy's reply to
the Kosta manifesto by Austria, wherein
that functionary admits the soundness of
his claim to the protection of this Gov

Of having lost that of his former gov
eminent and taken the oath to this,

The editor makes powerful defence
of his position-calm, dignified, learned,
as well as patriotic. However much we
may believe, as we do believe, that he has
failed to make good his position, we
realize that his whole heart and soul, in
this case, as in all others wherein he
comes to the consideration of great pub
lie question, is wrapped up in the duty of
protecting what he believes to be the best
interest of the Republic. We believe
that great experience has made him over
cautious. This is by no means rare oc-

conservative. They dread all change,
honestly and sincerely; though in spite of
their representations of evil, and never
failing efforts to ''hold the horses" back,
the world goes on progressing and i'm

The Clipper this morning is devoted,
cditorially and otherwise, to war on our
Catholic fellow-citizens.
The Sra has nothing editorial OF in
