oplr1t OF the morning Pres3
The Intelligencer of this morning is a
great paper. When we say great, we
mean great in its quantity of reading
matter. 1t is printed on twelve pages,
containing seventy two broad columns.
More than five pages are filled with laws
of the City of Washington passed at the
late session of the councils, which we
propose publishing and noticing from
time to time as We can spare room.
The Inteligencer also contains the
speech of the Hon. Truman Smith of Ct,
on the Pacific Railroad question. Messrs.
Gales & Seaton give to their readers this
morning an excellent newspaper.
The Union of yesterday contains but
little of interest beside its extracts from
other papers. 1t has brief editorial on
European ard American Agitation" of
the slavery question.
The Republic of this morning gives its
readers two excellent articles one headed
" Americans Abroad" the other * A few
words to Mechanics" In it's article on
Americans abroad the Republic gives the
following daguerreotype of Uncle Beecher
Stowe, Aunt Harriet's husband:
"The reverend Mr.. Stowe is represent
ed as hard-faced and hard-hearted speci-
men of those who make living by keep
ing a treacle and birthstone boarding
school after the style of the master of Do
theboys Hall. He has happened to have
wife who writes a popular book. Mr..
Stowe looks upon this literary prize pre-
cisely in the same light that he would
have hailed the presentation of a second
Siamese wonder by his excellent helpmate.
He must of course exhibit the mother of
the book. So he has handbills struck,
employs assistants, and conforms to the
regular usages by which the wonderful
nature of the subject to be exhibited is en-
HANGED by the poetry of description.
"TO effect this Professor Stowe, like
Professor Anderson or NJ. Donneti, APP
pears upon the platform. He wears
solemn face and spectacles. He wears
white cravat, and other clerical apparel.
Mistress Stowe is seated upon the plat
form as placid as wax-Work Uncle Tom
and troupe are present in every form of
artistic illustration. The worshippers
of this Siserah, who has driven nail into
the head of slavery, file by and bow in
mute alteration. Deputations from the in
terror present their copper tribute, which
the Professor shovels into the sack which
he carries, In inadvertent imitation of his
treacherous antelope. The lecturer COM
mences. The Professor speaks of I" our
book as joint production of himself
and spouse. Ii an action for libel were
pending, he would perhaps represent it
as her exclusive work, prepared in direct
opposition to his conjugal command. He
has the same share in the book that the
Organ-blower has in the music: but he
calls it "our book" and tells how we"
came to write it,
The Baltimore Sun speaks approvinglT
of the new police laws of Baltimore
In doing this it says:
mo action has been taken during the
present session of the city council more
important in its particular relation to the
peace, happiness and general we'll being
OF this community, than that which has
resulted in the new police law If prop
erly put into operation, and carried out
with the spirit and energy whichit invites,
1t must prove an invaluable adjunct in
the promotion of the best interests and
true prosperity of all classes of our
Citizens"
