SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intelligencer's editorial columns are
to-day devoted to three columns of criti-
cism upon the inaugural Of Governor
Andrew johnson, of Tennessee. 1t will
be recollected that the Governor is per-
haps the most ultra radical in all things
who has served in the Congress of the
United States, and that his writings and
speeches always abound with sentiments
wholly at variance with our esteemed
neighbours views of the fitness of things.
He goes to work in good earnest to ex-
pose what he believes to be the cranks in
the Governors kinks. We, however, re-
spectfully suggest that it is hardly fair
to attempt to hold the Democratic party
responsible for Mr.. Johnson's peculiar
views; inaSmuch as the editor OH refec-
ton will recollect that most of them were
as regularly repudiated by the mass of
the Democracy in Congress, as by the
Wings.
The Union warns the country against
the schemes of the lobby, and more espe-
cially against those of the ex-member and
disappointed office-seeking portion of
that organization. The same journal
also comes to the defence of the Demo-
cratic meeting in Boston, whose all-the-
eontlnent-anneXation resolution formed
the text for the Intelligencer's leader of
yesterday. Commenting upon the state
Of alarm into which the resolution in
question threw the Inteligencer's conduc-
tors, the Union man says:
We think that upon the ground of expe-
rience, as well as of reason, We can assure
our nelghbor that he is unnecessarily alarmed
These Boston Democrats might be allowed to
give vent to their feelings without arousing
the indignation or exciting the fears of the
editors OF the IntelIigencer. They are at
least entitled to have their action fairly com
mented en-, and not grossly perverted and
misrepresented They have manifested no
disposition to trespass upon the rights of
others We agree that their sentiment as to
expansion is in advance Of the age but il
does not propose any aggression upon the
rights OF other nations. If We understand il
correctly, 1t involves no insult to any of sthe
great principles imbodied in their own decla.

These Democrats considered themselves as
