from and after the ensuing June election, and hav

1st 1 am in favor Of q reduction of the present
rate of taxston; believing that il be safely done

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intelhgencer continues to discuss
the course of the minority on the Ne
braska bill, claiming that they have not,
so far transcribed the rules of propriety
IN their resistance. The editor, in anpounc-
ing the time which has been devoted to
the consideration of the bill, oddly enough
forgets to mention that before it was
formally taken up in committee, eighty
odd hour speeches were delivered upon
it-nore, by long odds, than were ever
before delivered upon great question at
a single session.
The Union is severe on the New York
Tribune and Times for their course to-
wards members of Congress, essaying to
hrow-beat, bully, and malign them into
the support of its views, by misrepresent-
ing popular sentiment, among other ex-
pedients resorted to. The Union further
contradicts the nonsensical story of the
Herald, that Mr.. Douglas has abandoned
his own bill for the project of Mr.. Gut
ting. We hardly think that this Wash
ington Geographic news is worth con-
tradiction.
The Sentinel defends the Nebraska bill
against the assaults of the Philadelphia
North american, and holds before the
eyes of the dissenting New York Hard
members, the action of their general com.
mlttee on the same subject.

PRAYING TRArroRs.-The New York
abolitionists and their allies propose
day of fasting and prayer, in view Of
what they term "the political evil which
now threatens the nation" That same
class of traitors during the war of 1928,
held days of fasting and prayer for the
success of the British army over our
gallant countrymen. But we have never
heard their prayers were of any avail.
