SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The InteLigeneer, of this morning, is
barren, as far as editorial matter is con-
cerned. It's reading columns are wholly
filled with correspondence and news
items.
Tine Union, Of to-day, is we'll filled
paper. The able manner in which that
paper is now conducted is common
subject of remark. Its leader this morn
ing on Fidelity to the constitution, the
best devotion to the Union" is bold and
10 the point. Its illusions to Senator
Summer meet the appreciation of men of
al parties in this region. We extract
tire following:
We desire to be fully understood. The
South has not been deserted The Nerth has
no. yet fallen into that deep of dishonor and Of
shame to which presumptuous traitors declare
she has descended, that their own schemes may
flourish. The threats of fanatics like Greeley
who demand that the Capitol shall be fred, in
Imitation Of the catastrophe and outrage in
ticted by England during our last war, and
the appeal to force by Sumner, in imitation of
the tories of old, who cried out for thongs and
stripes upon the advocates of democratic prin-
ciples, thrill the patriotic North like so many
prOfanities against the Most High and there
Is not, even in New England, one throb that
answers to such inyocations that would not, at
the same time, beat in union with the shouts
u the foe who levelled our cities and burnt
our ships THE HEART OF THE NORTH IS RIGHT
and the near future will prove it so.
- Let US look this bad business full into the
face The peril is upon US, and We are glad
That the internal foe has so boldly disclosed
Lis purposes. If men like Sumner could con-
troll the free States, this Union, now blessed
and Heayen-favored bond of love, would not
last Al hour. All men-at least the mass of
men In the free States-would glare into the
South as into den of wild beasts wilder
ness filled with serpents and savsges-to be
destroyed by the sword and by the fire. But
it is not so, and Heaven be thanked for the
proud and welcome assurance. We are not
yet willing to extinguish the recollection of
Washington, Of Jefferson, Of Henry, of Mad
son. of Jackson, of Calhoun, of Clay, in devo-
tiOn to those who scott at their virtues while
among Us, and their memories now that they
are gone. Nor, turning to the living, is the
North prepared to give up its faith in the gall
liant and generous, and disinterested Ameri-
cans form the South, who now adorn our ma
tioDal councils, as may have distinguished our
ARMS, for the sake of participating in the dis
graceful and reasonable purposes of such
men as Charles Sumner
The Sentinel discourseth of Senator
Douglass last Nebraska speech, the
Boston riot, and 'the Old Dominion, and
the Nebraska BILL" but not much else
worthy of note or comment.
