SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union tells Governor Reeder that he
entirely mistaken in his rather self conceited
idea that the defeat of his-R apprehension
to be the delegate from Kansas, formed q
part Of the object of the Presidents recent
Kansas message. The same paper gives, what
We conceive to be an intimstion, that not long
hence the President will exercise his lawful
authority (the Senate consenting,) to termi-
nate the session; it being clear that the
House is not one competent to do business in
the present state Of the minds of the MEM
bers thereof. Tie Union also names ten
members of the House who it claims to be
sccessions to the principle Of the Nebraska
bill; those gentlemen having been set down
IS its opponents by the anti Nebraska press
They are Messrs. Fuller, Broom and Millw ard,
of Pennsylvania; Cullen, Of Delaware Ha-
ven, Walk, Wheeler, Whitney, Bayard, Bay
ard Clark and Williams, of N Y. We also
find in the Union this morning, an article ar
guing that the idea that Mr.. Banks can be
elected under the plurality rule if the South
ern Americans support the pro-Nebraska bill
candidate of the Democrats, is unfounded.
The Intehissneer, regrstting the failure of
Mr.. Clingmsn's proposition offered yesterday,
Gays: ..t..
1t may be said, without offence We hope
TO either party, that the considerations which
have kept one branch of the Government so
long unorganized have been insufficient in
dignity or real importance to justify the sacri-
fee Of duty and public character which have
been surrendered TO them. Every other ina
ginable expedient having signally failed in
consummating choice Of Speaker, there ap-
pears to be but two alternatives now left, and
they are a resort to the plurality rule, or to
have no Speaker and no org anization Bigot-
ed, indeed, must be any views of party devo-
ton that can choose the latter alternative, let
the adoption Of the former result as it NAV.
We trust that more elevated conceptions of
duty may yet prevail, and that the House NAV
ut once relieve itself from the load of odium
and reproach which now rests on it. We
