SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union of this morning comments on
the very last political change of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, enlisting under the
banner of VIM. Lloyd Garrison, and Jokes Or,
Gov d. s. Foote'S crisis il American bubble
affairs
Inc I"teSftse"esr says Of Massachusetts,
one OF the Strongest as well as one of the
most SATISFACTORY evidences to us that the
course we Lave felt bound by a sense of dutv
10 pursue in relation to the angry controversy
oet~ee the North and the South has been
IMPARTIAL, just, and national, is, Oh the one
na'd, the assurances of appreciation which we
iseei'e from patriotic men in al sections; and,
On the other, the expressions of displeasure
which reach Us from the bigoted and violent
on both sides of the quarrel From the calm
ana eOnslderlte we receive thanks: from the
excited and prejudiced denuncistion. We 10
rive from all this the satisfaction of know;no
that what we say is at least read; and We de
not despair that, sooner or later, when the
storm snail have passed over, the sober
second thought will come to all, and that il
VIII lnen De acknowledged by all that, from
the beginning to the end of every .contro,o
IN which section has been arrayed again 4 sec,
uon, the part we have taken in it has had but
slngle end IN view-that of endeayoring To
preserve TIC Constitution inviolate and the
Union OF the States as one"
Inc Baltimore San, commenting on the
Louisville riots, says, very Justly:
1.-The Louisville papers, up to the day of
election, anticipated riot. Why? The ex
tracts we have published show clearly the
causes Of the outrage. We are unwilling to
refer to these publications, for we can see in
chem too much of that spirit which must ever
produce disorder and outrage. 1t is enouph
tnat the riots were anticipated. The Demo
crat says the authorities were applied to for
tne adoption of similar means to those en-
Pioyed In New Orleans for the preservation of
tne peace, the selection of several respeetable
citizens OF both parties as guardians of the
polls, tina! each voter might be secured an on
portunity to deposite his vote This would
nave obviated all cause of dissatisfaction.
But no such measure was adopted
" Now. after the election and after the riots
we near the complaint that one party took pos
session OF the polls, and excluded numbers of
me other from the exercise of their suffrage
Hence 1t Is alleged, the vote of Louisville is
not recorded. 1t matters not how man is
deprived OF ais vOte-whether by violence, or
oy the insufhciency of means provided for
popular election, by fraud, partially, or any
other cause not in himself, great wrong Is
Inflicted upon him.

The Current Operations Of the Treasury
Department. ton Yesterday, the 9th Of August,
The Elections.

NORTH CAROLINA.-This morning we have
news by telegraph from North Carolina, which
increases the prospect of the defeat of Puryear,
TX. NJ who, it will be recollected, was an
opposition member in the last House. Scales,
his anti-Know Nothing opponent, is, in all prob
ability elected, which will make the North
Carolina delegation in the next House stand
anti-know Nothing 6, Know Nothing2.
ALABAMA.-Our correspondent at Montgom-
cry, than whom we know no more reliable
man in such cases, telegraphs to US to-day as
follows:
MONTGOMERY, Aug. S.-Winston's majority
is immense. We have returns sufficient to
show the triumphant election of Dowdell, Har-
ris, Shorter, and Houston, (all anti-K. n. IS
Ed Nothing decisive yet from Cobb's dis
trict. In the Mobile district there is a pros
pect, so far, of the election of Stawlworth
(antD over Percy Walker Ok. NJ The Legis-
lature is largely Democratic, and Fitzpatrick s
reelection to the Senate is thus insured.
An hour before the receipt of this dispatch,
we received another from distinguished pub
lie man, as follows:
MONTGOMERY, Aug. S.-Dowdell is elected
by five hundred majority Winston will be
elected by upwards of six thousand.
DowdelPs district is composed of the coun-
ties of Chambers, Russell, Macon, Tallapoosa,
Montgomery, and Autagua. They usually
give an aggregate anti-Democratic majority of
1000. Mr.. Abercrombie, Wing, has been their
representative in Congress for some years past.
Dowdell, we know, had determined not to run,
I.,tx IL
His victory, under all these adverse circum-
stances, proves that Know Nothingism has
greatly injured rather than strengthened the
cause of the opposition in Alabama. The dis
trict borders on Georgia and is principally
settled by Georgians which, in turn, is sig
ni6cant Of the fate that awaits Know Nothing
ism in Georgia at the approaching election in
that State.
TENNEssEE.-We are without additional re-
turns from that State. The last insure the
election of Smith, anti-K. N, and of Zolli-
koffer and Rivers, K. Ms. Nothing decisive
has been heard from any other Congressional
contest in that State, though we take it for
granted that the new delegation will stand
Know Nothing z, anti-Know Nothing g. John
sons majority for Governor will be about as
large as he received at the last Gubernatorial
election there.
kENrUCKY.-No further election details
have reached us to-day from Kentucky. Know
Nothing dispatches claim Morehead's election
by between 5000 AMI 1000 majority-highly
probable, if their election commissioners did
elsewhere in the State as at Louisville. Vide

7th instant in another column)

Monday last. The false version of the affair.
telegraphed in all directions by the man who
has sworn that he will perjure himself in the
witness stand. or commit any crime that may
be necessary to be pcrpetrated to serve " the
ends Of the ORDER" is instantly seized on by
the Express; and by its similarly foresworn
writer, is embellished with the addition of any
number Of monstrosities, coined TO suit the &C.
casion, in that persons brain. In the face of
the fact that every Know-Nothing original ac-
count of the murder and bloodshed resulting
within the last year from their efforts to over
turn law, fire or sack buildings, and kill
individuals, in order to carry their political
points, Gas at Williamsburg, Newark, New Or
leans, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio,) have
been proved to be atrociously false on investi-
gation--the Express comments on the Louis
vile riots, so as to create in clear heads and
honest hearts the impression that the party or
parties responsible for the article would not
hesitate to steal, cut throat, or fire house,
if under the belief that due punishment
for such acts could certainly be avoided.
Pardonsd-We understand that the Presi-
dent has directed the pardon of Thomas Harry.
convicted some time ago in the criminal court
for this county of an assault with intent to
kill the late Paine Todd, Esq. Harry has
been confined for four years in the peniten-

A large and spacious building has just been

will be entirely distinct from those Of the other
