SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union Indignantly denies the allega-
tion of the Intslltgsnssr that the Democrats
In the recent canvas in New Hampshire rep
resented the Kansas sbraska bill as an anti
slavery measure, saying in the course of its
explanation on this subject:
"The result is clearly this that the aboli-
honists and know nothings appealed to the
Known sentiments, OF, as southern men think,
preJudices, of northern men against slavery,
by charging that the Kansas bill was a pro-
slavery measure, and cOntending that its
practical effect would be to make Kansas
slave State. The democrats advocated the
hill neither as a prO-slavery ner anti-slavery
measure, but as one which rightfully left the
question to the people, and they commended
that in their opinion the practical effect would
be in accordance with the known northern
feeling. The abolitionists denounced and op-
posed the bill, although the democrats thought
Ii would result in finally excluding slavery
from Kansas. The democrats supported the
bill, although the abolitiorists thought it
would make ansas q slave State
The Intelltgsneer contains a letter from
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, in reply to the
criticism of q correspondent of that journal,
in its issue of yesterday, wherein the effort il
made to justify Britain's infraction of the
Clayton-Bulwsr treaty, on the ground that
while the words "to occupy" mean one thing,
according to American photographers, they
have . different meaning according to those of
England. Mr.. Brown brushes away this spe-
cial pleading-saying
L did not speak in the Senate, nor do 1
now, on the authority of Mr. Clayton; but 1
now say that if Sir Henry Bulwer, Lord Clar-
endon, Mr.. Champion, or any one else in po-
sition to know the facts, and who is authorized
to speak for the British Government, shall
take the ground that the words in the treaty
were Hndsrstood to mean that Great Britain
was to be left 10 possession of such parts of
Central America as she had in possession at
the date of the treaty, the evidence can be
produced that the words not to occupy were
defined by the American negotiator to mean
mot to take and not to keep possession of the
country. If the British negotiator, the Brit
ish cabinet or British minister, or any one
authorized to speak for the British Govern
ment, denies that the words were so defined
our country should ask that every Injunction
of secrecy be removed, and that all the facts
be laid before the world.
" If it shall be shown, as confidently pre-
dict, that Mr.. Clayton did define the words
as have stated them, there can be no occa-
sion for consulting Ainsworth, Andrews, Web
ster, or any one else. The Judgment of the
world will be that if you agreed not to take
and not to Keep possession of any part of Gen.
trail America, you cannot 60 there, and if you
are there you must 60 away.

A FISH SroRr.-The 70 llowing fish story
almost equals the horse sturgeon" tale of
our venerable neighbor. We copy it from
the Mount Pleasant, Uowa) Observer:
"We are informed by Col. Dewey that on
Monday last, while one of his men was chop
ping wood near Big Creek, he went to the
creek and cut hole in the ice for the purpose
of getting drink. As soon as the hole was
made, large perch bounced up and was taken
out by him. The fish continued to m axe their
appearance as fast as he could lift them out
As soon as he got as many as he could carry
he left for home, procured assistance and, at
last accounts, over six barrels of the incest
kind of fish have been TAKEN
