SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,

The Whig says that the late election returns
show fearful reckoning against the Administration
OF President Pierce; that such falling off was never
known before. In less than twelve months it has
lost the confidence ofthe public; and notwithstand-
ing the efforts of certain journals to bolster it up
the Wing predicts that by the 4th of March, 1857,
we shall see that an Administration which came in
to power by an overwhelming majority, will 60
out OF power by general acclamation. In an.
other article the Wing alludes to the efforts of the
Democratic press in this State to write the Small
Note Law into force, and thinks our LEGISLATURE
has come to nice pass that it cannot execute it's
own laws. or rather, that the laws which emapate
from it are of such character that the officers of
thelands cannot enforce them by virtue of the au.ho
rity with which they are clothed In conclusion
the Wing informs the editors that thew cannot
write ehlnplasters out of circulation, while the peo
pie have nothing else-and can't write gold an
silver into circulation, while the people haynt got
it, and cannot get it. Itcan't be done.
The Penny Post, in its leading article. embodies
the N. Y. Heralds announcement of an importar.
treaty with England. The Post says this conye. :,
tion is not only diplomatic triumph" " of Mr..
Buchanan, it is triumph ofnoninterventiop in the
past and non-Intervention in the future 1t will
iasten our sympathies with Turkey, and make us
feel proud OF our own position. lis commercial
features are, also, most obvious in rendering us
the common carriers of the sea- The Post has also
ae editorial on the Hulsemann letter; deems the
duty OF Mr.. Everett to publish statement of what
is true and what is false concerning the affair." and
sincerely hopes that he may not be found guilty of
pinning himself to the coattai of Daniel Webster
In order to gain entrance into the temple of fame.
Inc Mail indulges in some sarcastic remarks
relative to the mysterious disappearance of the Ad
minis'ration party; and says that the Democratic
journals have come to find out after the mischief is
done that the Wings were right in the first In.

Presidency great unknowns and tremendous nobo.

Captain Hapin, accompanied by half dozen officers

from doing So when they attacked him and threw him
overheard, whereby he was drowned The mate OF the
shin was on board at the time but dared not 90 to the
assistance of the Waterman, the crew were armed ana
desperate and would he feared attack and murder him.
Capt. Mann desired Capt Hapin to disarm the crew,
and leave couple of officers board TO assist HIM IN re-
stranng them from further violence But that not being
exactly consonant with the requirements of the law Capt
H. arrested the following of the and had them
conveyed the StationHousc suspicion of being con-
scrned in the murder: Thomas Punkett native of Ireland
aged "a; Thomas Churchill American, aged 10; George
Smith of Germany, aged 3Oi Thomas Cook, American,
aged 20; John Hackett, of Ireland aged 81.
Information was received the Sation-House at twelve
