SPIRIT OFTHE ESS.

The Penny Post deyotes leader to the accounts
from the seat of wsr-written, we presume, before
the receipt of the Baic's news. The Post considers
that the fact of the allies having advanced their
works to within 800 yards of sebastopol, and that
they were engaged in constructing their third par.
ale indicates that the fire of the garrison has been
III not completely silenced, yet so far diminished
that nothing an attack from some quarter out.
SIDE OF the walls sufficiently powerful to cause the
siege to be raised can long delay its fall. The wri
Ter OF the article expresses the opinion that Sebss

Inc Hbig has an editorial headed ''Platform, or

ders that the Convention must endeavor TO avoid
touching upon any irritating issue, and exasperat-
Ing any slumbering jealousy" and even declares
that it viii be dangerous for the Convention to
venture to re-aifirm the time-honored principles
ofihe party" The Whig thinks that "frail must be
its hold upon ife-eone indeed. its ancient vitali
ty, energy and boldness, when the great Democrat.
ic party of Virginia is thus advised 10 ignore the
plain duty, the simple, every day practice of all
parties. Gone, too, its chivalry and its pride its

remarks in conclusion that

marks upon Mr.. Bots letter On know-nothncism.
1t charges Mr.. B. with exhibiting hostile spirit 10
