SPIRIr OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Iqtelligencsr, declines to publish con-
tinuatiOn of the papers of PmbiiWs, its les
teemed Virginia correspondent" in favor of
the distribution of the public lands among the
several States, on the ground that the popular
mind is not open to argument on the subject,
more especially in Virginia, where, not long
since, the policy was repudiated at the polls by
an overwhelming majority in every Congress
sional district. The editors evidently regret
the existence of that state Of things political.
The Union argues to show that Black Re-
publicanism' is against the Constitution"
and puts Gerritt Saith on the stand to prove
what the ends and aims of Governor Seward S
BLACK Republicanism' really is. The same
paper, in another brief article, presents fat
tering picture, indeed of the resources of Bra
I'll, agricultural Commercial, in the way Of rail-
roads, &c.
