SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Yesterdays Wing, referring With approba'
ton to the Presidents expression of regard for
the Compromise, says there is yet some mys
terry about the position of certain classes OF his
supporters-the Free-Soil and Abolition De-
nocrats of the North, and the States Rights
party of the South, who have all denounced
the Compromise of 1850. 1t is said that the
Democracy, with one voice, approve the Inau-
gural; but if these parties approve it, says the
Wing, they must have undergone q great
change. Abiding TO statement that the
President came from Baltimore to Washing
ton incognit0, seated in the baggage car to
avoid the crowd and its opportunities, the
Wing says ''the Republic has come to de-
plorable condition when its President has TO
disguise himself to avoid being besieged by
office hunters"
The Times has leader on the debate in
the Senate upon the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
1t calls attention to the assertion of Mr.. Clay.
ton, that the Monroe doctrine had been practi-
cally repudiated by the Democratic party for
the last quarter of century. This declara-
ton, it says, was not conuadicted by Nh
Douglas, who answered Mr.. Clayton; and it
adds, he could not deny it, because in his
speech few weeks since, on the Central Anne
rican question, he asserted "that whilst it had
been the uniform practice of our public men
of both parties to assert the Monroe doctrine
when there was no occasion to do so, yet they
invariably shrank from enforcing it when emer-
gencies arose that called for action on the SUBJ
ject."
The Republican quotes from a speech of
Mr.. Bowie, of Maryland, on the subject OF the
national defences, W hich he represented as very
defective and feeble. Ten steamers he said
could in ten days blockade every port from
Mobile TO Boston. He dwelt especially on the
fact that the great naval depots of Great Bri.
tain, "Halifax, Jamaica, and Bermuda, were in
Sc or AZ hours of our coast" and that, there
fore, there was the greater necessity of strength
| ening our defences and increasing our naval
| force.
| The Republican puts in word for the Ell.
than Railroad.
Yesterdays Enquirer has another article
| on the colonization of free blacks. Ii calcu-
lates that should the Senate bill pass, the reve.
nue. from the capitation tax on free negroes, TO-
gether with what the State now appropriates
10 the object of their colonization, " i'll amount
to $SO.000-which sum, allowing SIS each for
collecting, transporting and sustaining six
months, would remove 1906, or at $50 each
would remove 1000 annually. The Enquirer
supports the measure.
The Enquirer has notice Of the debate in
the U. 5. Senate on the Clayica Balwer treaty,

ings, &c, which may not soon be presented again.
That we need such Hall, the experience of every
winter makes more manifest Every apartme q t
that can be used in this way has been occupied du
ring this WINTER and when there was anything sps.
cialiy attractive, none found large enough to
acce immediate those who desired to attend We
therefore need what perhaps every ether city OF the
same size In the country already has, commodi
Gus and comfortable Hall, capable Of seating alarge
audience. This may be secured now, at compare
lively small cost. By your advertising columns
1t will be seen that the First Presbyterian Church,
on Frsnklin street. is TO be sold in few days, and
although the price of real estate seems by recent
Sales TO be rapidly advancing; yet it will, doubt,
be sold at q price greatly below what the ground
| could be bought for, and building erected Il is
of the largest and most substantial buildings in
the clty-capable OF seating with its present ar
| rangements, in which much space is lost a very
large audience. very few alterations would
adaptlt TO tle purpose suggested at comparatively
small cost. If an opening tor platform or stage
were made In the rear wall, SO that the entire auoi
ence Chamber Of the Church could be used, then
the floor let down two three feet that second
gallery could De put in above the present one, it
Is in lripler He'll, Castle Garden and other similar
rooms In New York. it could readily be made to
seat an audience OF TWO thousand. The seats being
movable, the lower floor could be used for any
purpose such as large entertainments suppers, &C,
very feaoiiy. eucn oulidlng would pea very prom
table investment, if ghtly managed. six nights of
such stars as OILS Bull, Jenny Lind, Parod or others,
such as are here every winter, would pay more
than the interest of the money invested and accom-.
moda:e large number VINO are now excluded from
such entertainments, leaving the rest OF the year
ana the income frem the vacant lots On each side
Clear profit. After being used for this purpose
some years, the ground would be worth more than
the whole affair will cost by the Inevitable i'm
provement OF that part of the city. l allude to
these facts TO show that there no risk in such an
investment, and that those who make it. would at
once advance their own interest, and the comfort
Of the public. In the hands of Soma energetic M an

Having looked through their gallery and carefully

Mr. Watson the principal operator, is modest, un-
assuming gentleman Virginian by birth-and
will take pleasure in waiting upon all who may call
st the Mansion House, either for the purpose of
securing the substance ere the shadow fades" or
merely to examine the beautiful specimens of art
with which the gallery abounds. We confess we
entertained just conception of the beauty of the
ladies of this city, until visited Minns & Wat
sons Gallery. Now, it may be, that the handsomest
bellies patronise this gallery exclusively; but, be
that may, among the collection are some of the
sweetest pictures that hang on memorys wall"
