of the last House. and who is still acting in that capa

Mr. Glassbenner has paid to them about $4,000.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union is indignant at o remark of the
Mobile Advertiser, *. N.Y. wherein the Dem
ocratic party of the House is styled "the Rich
ardson faction" 1t strikes us that the only
appropriate answer the Union can make to
the Alabama journal, will be to quote at it the
homely adage-"How we apples swim"
The Inteifige"cer, protesting to have been
forced so to do by an intimation in the Union
that its silence on the subject amounts to an
endorsement of all the positions of the message,
'pitches into" it "like thousand of brick"
concerning what that document says about our
relations with England

TYPOGRAPHICAL JUsrICE.-The Presidents
message, as it originally appeared, was pub
liShed in the Boston Post of the 9Th, and is a
very different production from the mangled
telegraphic version Of this important docu-
ment. If we are not mistaken, that portion
of the message which relates to the structure
of our government and the relative duties of
its citizens, is destined to produce deep effect
at the North. TWAS, therefore, very desirable
to have it correctly printed, and Col. Greene is
entitled to great credit for having placed it in
its original force and clearness, before the
people.
