the result of the at the State election Jushes the

will support the Fillmore electoral ticket on condition
that they 1.-THE Fillmore electors agree I" cast their

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Inteh'ge'ieer republishes the paragraph
of the Alexandria Gazette deprecating the
custom of calling cut high public functional
ries to discourse to meetings upon politics,
and especially the late visit to the President
Ito that end) of the W ashington city demo-
cratic ratification meeting; says upon the sub.
ject:
1--WE doubt not that the above paragraph
expresses the feeling of considerable persons
here and every where. The visit appeared
to US at the time in bad taste, on general
grounds, and under the circumstances of the
case was particularly so-quite as much so as
was like visit made to Mr.. Webster by a
large body Of citizens on the night after the
nomination Of Gen. Scott
The Union devotes much of its space TODAY
to the republication of favorable newspaper
notices Of Mr.. Buehanan's nomination. The
same paper regards the article in yesterdays
I"tefl'ge'eer upon the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan, as an intimation of the intention of
the conductors of that Journal to support the
Republican ticket
