Daily evening star. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1852-1854, 1853-08-27
Spirit Of the Morning Press.

Of its appearance as daily, Gideon & Co.
having sold it to VIM. NJ. Burwel & Co.,
who propose to publish it hereafter as
weekly journal. From the prospectus of
the new proprietors, we conceive their
purpose to be to make it q southern union
party paper. Or at least, that such are
the sympathies which are to influence its
future conduct. Mr.. Burwell has been
the editor of the Republic for some months
past, and has so conducted it, as to make
for himself very high reputation as
writer and gentleman. We know no
one better qualified than Mr.. B. so to
conduct newspaper as to edify and IN
terest reading community. With SIM
cere wishes for his success, we therefore
welcome him into the ranks as pub
Usher, as we'll as editor of Washington
journal.
This morning, the Republic discusses
"comparative routes to the Pacific in
clining to the impression that that by Ell
Paso will be best. The editor also dis
cusses ssNaval Reform" suggesting much
of interest in that connection. The Re
public's clever Washington correspondent
replies to our views upon the Danaise
persus Brown and Homes affair, in Con-
stantinople, published on the 24th inst.
Having made inquiries upon the subject
recently, we see no reason to doubt the
substantial correctness of the facts we
presented on that occasion.
The Rochester IN. Y. Adrertiscr, hay
ing been silly enough to call the Union an
abolition sheet, that paper this morning
scathcs it's Northern political brother
without mercy. hesame journal quotes
from the Detroit Free Press articles on
the Kosta affair and upon the duty ofthe
Democrats in the next Congress, which
are significant; inasmuch as that paper
is the home organ of General Cass, and,
as such, stoutly defends the whole policy
of the Administration and strenuously
insists upon the policy of giving it cheer
full and thorough support.
The Lntelligencer argues to fortify the
right of the General Government to con-
struct or to cause the construction of the
Pacific Railroad, quoting Congressional
proceedings asfar back as 1917 to thatend.
The Clippers leader is upon the Star.
The editor insists that we misrepresent
his position upon religious controversies.
We have no space in which to continue
any such disputations with that journal.
We care not for its efforts to make our
journal appear to be sectarlan. The pub
lie must judge of it from it's columns. The
Rev. ID. X. Junkin, of this city, publishes
a communication in the Clipper avowing
himself the writer of the "Trmh" COM
munication, which we had to dress down
a day OF two since. He is very savage
upon the Star of course, writing as though
his bones are sore from the .iunketting he
compelled us to give his anonymous
splurge. Ifhis Reverence will only keep
cool, if ever We meet him at wedding,
we'll take glass of wine with him
which, We presume, will settle all bad
blood between us. By-the-bye, we are
being overwhelmed with notes from our
fellow Protestants of Washington, thank
ing us for the promptness and effective
ness with which we exposed and checked
the effort to get up the sectarian skrim-
mage which ''Truth seems bent on
originating in this community, on grounds
by no means likely to strengthen the |
Protestant cause.
The Sun contains nothing editorial of
interest.
