Spirit Of the Morning Press.
The Union to-day devotes much space
to the details of the several popular glori-
fications over the President as he wends
his way north, land republishes various &C
counts thereof from other journals. The
editor also defends the President from the
Intelligencer's criticism of the day before,
in which the latter journal took the
liberty of dissenting from the propriety
of Presidential speech-making to the peo-
pie in the streets, &c. The Union also
quotes the Albany Euening Journal to
prove that the Albany Atlas is acting in
good faith upon the question of acquies-
cence in the fugitive slave law, that paper
being one of those alleged to be still lean
| ing towards abolitionism, though in the
receipt of patronage from the Administra-
| ton.
The Clipper republishes its onslaught
on Governor Lowe on account of his re-
prieve of young Conner, which led to the
publication of the Governors card in
reply. 1t also further continues the reli-
gious disputations in an article headed
The Catholic Press Us. the Republican
Press" and also defends the common
school system of Baltimore.
The Republic discourses upon the waste
of human life in Manchester, England
owing to the peculiar employment of its
inhabitants, and relative to the impolicy
of its entire dependence on the staple OF
foreign country. The editor also re-
publishes, from the Californian, an ex-
tract to prove that Professor Stowe is
wrong in entertaining the foolish notion
that Chinese labor can be either philan-
thropically or economically substituted
for slave labor in the United States The
following is the Californian's account Of
the very peculiar tastes of " John China
man" as developed around the diggings /:
THE length and breadth of popular senti-
ment against them in California is as a wide
| gulf, separating them more and more every
! day from the hope of obtaining established
| rights and privileges as citizens in the State.
The depth of degradation to which they are
| fallen in public opinion is as the bottom of a
| deep pit, considerably beyond the reach of
means Of extrication. They are sunk i'm
4 L Al a.
| the estimation of the miners. Lower than the
beasts that prey upon the flesh of inferior ami
mails for the bear, it is said, will turn from
tainted meat, whereas John despses nothing
| of the creeping or crawling kind. Rats,
| lizards, mud terrapins, rank and indigestible
shell fish, and such small deer have been
| and continue to be, the food of the mo ways
particular Celestial, where -four. beef, and
bacon, and other fare suitable to the stomachs
of white folk abound. 1t is not to be won
dered at, therefore, that the habits Of the
Chinese in California should excite inefable
| disgust, and turn the stomach Of the stoutest
AngloSaxon."
The Inteltigencer is filled for the most
part with standard communications and
extracts upon scientific, literary and in
tellectual topics. 1t also treatsits readers
to three columns of book notices prepared
as usual with more care, taste, and liter
ary acumen than those which grace thu
pages of any other journal in the United
States, The editor also publishes an ex
tract from a letter averring that the cleo
tive Judiciary system has been found te
work very badly in Louisiana.
