SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.


The Int,Htgsncer reviews the condition of
the Wing party in Nsw York, and while
agreeing with the New York Commercial Id
vertissr in deprecating the radical tendency
OF the spirit now controlling it, as well as the
pledges given by its candidates for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor to the Abolitionists
the editor (of the Intslftgencey) recommends
them, in effect, to be supported by the con-
sentative Wings of the State.
The Union comments with proper severity
upon the bitter hostility of Benton to the
whole South, as manifested last in an abusive
article in the St. Louis Democrat, from his
pen. The editor, in the course of this article,
says: st
III We are right in the high estimate we
place upon the honor of the Democrats and
wings OF Missouri, Col Benton will have de-
serted the party which gave him the only
once he ever held, and in whose service he
wen all the distinction he ever wore, without
cause sufficient to secure either the sympathy
or the support Of his old opponents. Repudi-
sted by both Wings and Democrats, his onlv
sympathixers are found to be Of a character
too incendiary to allow Of an alliance WITH
either OF the great parties that have ruled the
country during his entire public career. He
offers his alliance-hs even offers an uucoa-
d'tsonat alliance; we deny that he has the
power Of transfer, and also predict that the
wings will scorn to accept it, even if it should
turn out that he has 1.-THE boosted power of
transfer and the humiliation will have been
In vain! The Wings of Missouri are not like
ly to to " fuse" with "Free Soiism.''
The Sentinel essays to hold the National
Intstligsneer responsible for much of the
present anti-slavery tendency of the northern
Wing party.

the fact that the goverporship of United States
Territory, besides Offering advantages for
eventual successful speculation in the public
lands, also bids fair to lead to a seat in the
United States Senate Such has VIGOROUSLY
been the tendency Of affairs on the admission
Of new States into the Union.
The "Great Sale Of Lots in Kansas Per
ceiving paragraph going the rounds of the
papers with the above heading, descriptive of
a recent sale of lots in the proposed new town
of Leavenworth, opposite Fort Leavenworth,
we have to say that no title worth baubee
can be given for the property sold on that oc !.
casion at enormously high prices. The site
of the proposed new town in question is upon
lands coded by the Indians to the United
States in trust for their own benefit, and of
course to be so sold by the General Govern
ment. The sellers profess to give only squat.
tiers redemption titles, which the Attorney
General has unhesitatingly declared not worth
any thing to lands so ceded. The lands in
question have never yet been even surveyed
under the authority of the United States
Those who paid money to the parties selling
those lots, will find to their cost that the title
they are to get is not worth q chew of to-
bacco.

Marshal Paskiewitch issued a Bulletin, on
the Sd, at Warsaw, giving the Russian version
Of the battle at the Alma. The loss of the
allies is reported to have far exceeded that of
Prince Menschikoff. The Russian loss is put
down at but 1000 (the English say it is nearly
5000 y and on the whole the Warsaw despatch
is made to read pretty much as if the victory
was altogether on the side of the Russians in
stead of against them.
The carriage of Prince Menschikoff, with
his private correspondence, was taken by the
French, together with 50,0O0f After the bat.

COUNTERFEIT CHAMPAGNR.-A trial in New
York has brought out some singular facts
touching the manufacture of Newark cider
into the choicest brands of champagne. Empty
champagne bottles are bought at the hotels
and other places, the labels are ingeniously
initiated, and the whole finishing and packing
are in exact imitation of the genuine article.
The efervescence is given to the cider by
forcing air into the bottles. The spurious
champagne is sold in great quantities to the
hotels and to dealers, and the quantity Of it
drank, it is said, greatly exceeds that of the
genuine importation. z.e g
