SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

ihe Union rejoices over the hearty appro-
baton with which it insists the country has
received the message. Upon the views ex-
pressed in the message with reference to the
slavery question, the Union says:
1.-The irresistible reasoning of President
fleree on the " constitutional relations of
slavery out Of place in an annual message !!
Truth Is never out of place and such truths
As ne speaks should be 50 written as to be read
and remembered by all men. Abolition has ad
Vanced from sneaking and snarling faction
70 bold and bullying fanaticism. 1t has
tired ats prentice hand upon the notification
oi state laws, and now comes to break up the
foundations OF the constitution. 1t has gov
erned State legislatures, and now aspires to
federal power, boasting, with rude and irrev-
erent blasphemy, that its majority in Con-
gress may soon give it the government itself.
And this advance of the most potent adversary
OF our political system results from the false
hoods Of able and abandoned demagogues,
who have set themselves to work to misrepre-
sent the history, the men, and the memories
of the past, and who rejoice that they have
succeeded in bewildering and misleading the
public mind To expose this fatal delusion
not IN terms IF angry discussion, but with the
calm and well-cOnsidered arguments Of a
statesman who reasons from facts, and who
draws his inspiration from the established
theories OF our Government-to confer such a
benefit upon our common country is denounced
= as out of place in Presidents annual mes

The InteLligeneeT is to-day devoted to news,
literature and science.

Proceedings of To-day.

IheSenate was not in session to-day, having
yesterday adjourned over until Monday next,
in the hope that in the me awhile the House
would organize.
In the House, Mr.. Boyce, rising to per-
sonal explanation, replied to sundry remarks
personal to himself, made yesterday in the
course of the debate, which brought out Messrs
Allison, Orr, and Giddings in explanations,
ere they proceeded to the ninety-frst ballot
for Speaker, with the following result
Whole number of votes cast 220 necessary
TO a choice Ill.
For Richardson 70, Banks l04, Fuller "a,
Pennington g. scattering g.
No choice having been Effected
Mr.. Dunn addressed the House in favor OF
coming to some compromise that may end
their present difficulty He urged the men OF
Massachusetts, to sacrifice their personal pref
erence in this election to the good of the
whole country.
Rehearsing the history of the honors show
cred on Massachusetts men, in the matter OF
the Speakership, the Vice Presidency, and
the Presidency, to show that Massachusetts, S
ambition should be satisfied by this time, he
urged the claims of the great West to the posi-
tion now in dispute, holding further that Ohio
was most entitled to it. ...
Mr.. ID. then urged the propriety of electing
Mr.. Letter, and proposed a resolution to that
end.
Messrs. Knewlton and Howard opposed it,
Mr.. Orr rose to speak to it, when
Mr.. Zolllcof1er moved to suspend the ter
minutes rule for the day, as our report went t.
press.

Do YOU WANT A SHAWL (!

WE FIND, UPON LOOKING THROUGH
w our stock Of SHAWLS, that we have more
on hand than we can sell this season at the regu-
lar prices, and in order to close out our stock Of
them we have determined to offer the remainder
IF them at a lower price than we have ever sold
them We have on hand quite large assortment
Of Long Cashmere SHAWL LIS, which we have de-
iermned 10 sell at 80 apiece; and we feel conf
dent they will not be met with elsewhere within
several dollars Of that price but we purchased
very largely Of them at auction, and have deter
mined to make the sacrifice rather than carry
them over III you think Of buying a Shawl do
not fail to look at ours before making the pur-
chase.
SILK AND OTHER DRESS GOODS
We also have on hand very large stock of rich
SILKS and other DRESS GOODS, which we
are anxious to reduce by the 25th Of this month :;
and in fact we are disposed to offer all kinds Of
winter goods extremely cheap from this time out
And, as our stock is generally large and well
assorted, cash customers and those who paw us
promptly have now an opportunity TO purchase
what winter goods they may wish al a very low

be conversant with all the circumstances con-
nected with the voyage, and with the sppro-
baton and advice Of perso ms interested in the
vessel, denounces the statements in the Her
aid as gross misrepresentation of the truth,
and entirely exonerates the Commodore Of
any blame whatever in the-premises. One OF
the owners authorizes that journal to say, that
he the COMMODORE explained the provisions
Of the treaty, with reference to the right of
American vessels to trade there, to be just as
the Captain found them, and simply told the
Captain Whose voyage was already prepared
for when he saw Commodore P.) that it was
probable that b 9 might find a market for a
portion Of his cargo among the naval squad
rons cruizins in the Japanese seas. 1t is due
to Commodore Perry that the fact should be
known that all the Herald's allegations have
thus been completely dispr owed.
Mr.. Leiter.-As this gentleman sprang into
notoriety this morning, through the eloquent
effort of Mr.. Dunn, to induce the Banks men
to concentrate their votes on him, we may not
appropriately say that he was lately Demo
crat, and by the votes Of that party, has
presided over the Legislature of his State
We have heard from Ohioans that in his last
canvass he took before the people very ultra
anti-slayery grounds, pledging himself to Gre.
peal the fugitive slave law, abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, abrogate the inter-
State slave trade, and restore the Missouri
compromise" if elected TO Congress.
1t is due to Mr.. L. to say that he denies
having agreed to accomplish these things
The probability is, that he made rampant
abolition speeches, wherein he pledged him
self not te effect these ends, but to strive to
do so.
Col. Bragg Resigned. --Brevet Lieut.. Col
