SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The batelligencer is devoted to news, liter
allure, and science, to-day.
The Union says of the Preside emit message,
sent in yesterday afternoon, in answer to the
senste's resolution asking information with
reference to the state of affairs in Kansas:
Sour readers cannot fail to peruse with in
forest the documents communicated to the
Senate yesterday by the President in answer
to call from that body for information. They
afford the most emphatic contradiction to the
violent charges of the abolition journals on the
subject of the Presidents proclamation. 1t
now appears that not only was that proclama-
ton called for by general considerations of
public duty, but was- earnestly requested by
Col. Lane and DR.. Robinson, the responsible
leaders of the revolutionary organization at
lawrence. Nay, by another letter to the
PRESIDENT, the Same gentlemen respectfully
demand" that the troops of the United States
be employed for their protection. We trust
that they and their friends will now cease from
efforts to provoke civil war, and that all par
ties, within and without the Territory, will be
emulous to manifest their common obedience
to the law Of the land Although, as appears
from these documents, orders have been given
to Col. Sumner and Major Cooke to act If ne
cessity requires it, we confidently believe that
no such necessity will OCCUR, and that we shall
now see in Kansas the same peaceful and
tranquil prosperity which exists in the sister
Territory Of Nebraska"

TIE Len ExBihe0.-From our sxcha nges,.
1t appears that the New England ports are the
only ones open. Even Lake Michigan is 50 i'd
to be completely frossn> over from one side to
the other, ss with the best glasses from either
side of the Lake the clear water cannot be
seen. This has never occurred before within
memory.
New York is deprived Of her coast highway,
Long Island Sound. With the exception Of a
space opposite New Haven, the sound is closed
up by ice from the Narrows to Greenport,
which has not been the case since the revolu-
ionary war. ..f ..t'#
Philadelphia remains blockaded. There is
no indication Of an opening in the icy mass OF
the SchuylkilI, and that portion Of the chan
mel of the Delaware which 10 directly in front
Of the centre Of the city, is all that is open
continuously Of the river this side of League
Island. Throngs of skaters and others may
be seen daily upon both rivers, and the live
liest scenes are to be witnessed on the ice.
Baltimore harbor is covered with ice from
twelve to fifteen inches thick. The steamer
Relief continues at work, and q strong force is
at work, getting the Cromwell steamers up to
the city.
Even the most Southern ports are filled with
Zoe, and it is said by the Oldest settlers that
such severely cold weather has never been ex-
perenced in Florida until this winter. Capt.
Bontes De Oca informs the Tampa Peninsu-
lar, that sharks have been frozen to death
during the late cold spell, in Charlotte
Harbor. Such an event has not transpired, to
his knowledge, for the last thirty-fvc years.

devoted, for the most part, to the presenta.
ton of petitions, principally from retired

were of public Importance.
In the course Of these transactions, the
House bill to amend the bounty land bill of
March 3, 1855, by adding q clause allowing
parol testimony Of service where record evil.

Mr.. Brodhead moved to lay it on the table
until tomorrow, with the view then to take it
up and pass it without reference.
Mr.. Stuart opposed this motion urging the
reference of the bill.
In the House, Mr.. Hickman reported, from
the elections committee, resolution to en-.
power that committee to send to Kansas for
persons and papers, to be used as testimony in
the Kansas contested election case.

Of the Du5l,n Freeman Journal find this
statement:
"CoRK AND ITS MAGIsrRAfEs.-The As
sistant Barrister for the East Riding of Cork,
has, within the past week, been presented
with the white gloves, which are the usual

the high Tory school.
Yet, sir, the landlord class, the Know Moth
ings Of Ireland, with whom their brothers on
this side the Atlantic sympathise, refuse to
reduce the police force and relieve the coun-
try of $4,000 annual burden. In no country
in the world could such a circumstance pre-.
sent itself. The county of Cork is the largest
and most Catholic, or popish," in Ireland,
containing over half million of people and
here, after six months-for the assizes are
only held twice year for the trial of crimi-
nal cases-not one of any kind whatever is
found upon the calendar! With the contro-
versy between the editor of the New York
Frsen,an's journal and him of the Organ,
on religious topics, I have nothing to do-both
gentlemen being natives of the New England
States, and better qualified to decide upon
their moral condition than upon that of Ire
land; with this difference, however, that the
former (Mr. Macmaster) is convert from the
Protestant to the Catholic Church-the latter
being on the opposite side. HIBERNIcUs.
