SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union, discoursing upon the Main,

Maine has spoken contrary to the hopes
but not contrary to the expectations, of the
democrats; and because she has so spoken,

misbes, the result. Of which has little or no in
6uence over the fortunes of either Of the con-
tending armies. 1t is true that three of our
weakest outposts have fallen before superior
numbers; but their brave defenders, after
gallant and even desperate fight, have retired
in good order, and with undiminished ardOr,
to the main body. That main body, upon
whom and with whom now rest the hopes of
every true patriot, have not changed front or
lost one inch Of ground. The post Of honor,
Pennsylvania, with her twenty-seven cleo
tOrsl votes And there, too, in the van. we
find Illinois and Indiana, California and New
Jersey, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
The democrats of New York, Ohio, and Mich
igan are Fastening to the field but, if they
should be prevented from taking part in the
fortunes of the day, the reserved corps, with
its one hundred and twenty votes, will charge
the black republicans as the famous Old
Guard of Mannheim CHARGED the pruSsiaus at
Jena-cOnverting a complete victory into an
SYNONYMOUS flight
The Unton's private advices from Pennsyl-
vania continue to be Ct the most encouraging
character. Counties and districts which have
been regarded for some time as doubtful, and
upon which the republicans rely as their only
chance Ct success, have given unmistakable
symptoms of the presence Of powerful re-
dictionary spirit. Under the head Of ''An
Atrocitus SANDER Refuted,' the Union says
that
"To produce the impression that there ex-
ists some dissfectiOn az the South, tie black
republicans have placed the names Cf thirteen
citizens Of Virginia upon the electoral ticket
This has been doIe without the knowledge or
permission of these gentlemen, who are all
men CT established character and known fdel-
ity to the South and its Interests"
The Union asks and authorizes every lover
of truth and common honesty 10 meet this in
sidiOus and wicked outrage upon private char
acter and public history with its emphatic and
indignant denial.
The IntsiI'esncsr is devoted TO news and to
interesting foreign correspondence.

FORIY-SECoND ASSIyERsARY or The BAT
TLKsOF NORTH POIxr,-To-day is the forty
second anniversary of the battle Of North
Point, q day in the history Of the country
which will always be RENT mbered and COM
memorsted, being one Of those irdissoluble
and Invisible ties that dement's the Union Of
the States. The Baltimore Ameriean, while
sreaking of!this subject, says:
I" There are still many in our midst who
recollect that eventful day, and they call
up the scenes with emotions of pleasure On
the day preceding, with their ships menacing
the then small city, but the most important in
the State, the thunder of the ordnance Of the
invading force was let loose upon Fort McHen-
~, but that gallant post maintained its posi-
ton, and on the following day the forces of
the enemy landed at North Point with view
to reach the city by land. " ith a superior
force they landed, and when their General
with his picket guard undertook to reconnoitre
the ground there were two brave spirits near
to watch and check the carnage that had been
promised upon the people Of Baltimore H.
Wells and III. q .McCOmas were on the alert,
and with steady aim their unerring rifles
slew the commander, though their own lives
paid the penalty of their love of country
Their names are still embalmed in the memory
of the people of Baltimore, and will ever re.
main so, as their heIOism threw confuson into
the ranks Of the enemy. enabling our militia
to drive of the legiOns of invaders There
are those who recollect with what emotions of
pain they awaited the result Of the struggle
Of that day, and many hearts were made glad
by the safe return If sons and husbands,
while others were called to mourn the loss of
those who laid down their lives On their coun-
try's altar"

POLITICAL ITEMS.


Hon. Wilson McCandless il the Democ ratio

The Murfrsesboro (Tenn.) Telegraph says

DR.. John A. ALL is the Democratic candi-
didate for Congress in the York district, Penn

A new feature in political meetings has
been introduced at Wheeling. At the con-
clusion of discussion which recently took
place near that city, Ga number of beautiful
young ladies appeared upon the Speakers
stand and sang two songs in favor Of Buch-

The German club in the fourth ward of the
city Of New York, which has been supporting

They do not like man who tries to stand on

"It is certain" says the Utica Herald, "that
the pro-slavery rufians are again affecting
Kansas with sword and flame" To which
the Utica Observer replies:
1T is certain that Colonel Lane has gone
into the Territory with band of ruffians for
no other purpose than to shed blood and incite
reprisal
:" 1t is certain that Gerrit Smith, who now
says this question must be settled in blood,
is the chief contributor to Lanes support.
1T is certain that Kansas was peaceful for
nearly two months before Lane made his vio-
lent inroad, ami commenced attac king the
settlers in Kansas
