House of Representatives, from lberyiIIe

Representative. He stands, we learn

Democrats of that parish are loud in
their advocacy Of Mr.. Sigur's election.
how will they gat round the regular
nominees Of that parish p
Here's a fix somehow. As our party

SpyRJT OF THE MORNING PRESS

SPIRII or IHE mOhNINU fhESS
The Union discusses the effect of rowdyism
rampant upon the business and prospects of
Baltimore, aiming to show that the peeuniary
injury that city has already experienced, fairly
traeeable to that source, is immense. Accord
ing to the Union, Baltimore is tabooed by the
customers Of Southern and Western traders,
and also by travellers to an extent that has
given Its prosperity such a check as was never
before experienced by great American city.
The Union also published an interesting sketch
of very able speech recently delivered by
MIR. A. II. Stephens, of Georgia, wherein that
gentleman made most forcible defence of the
Kansas policy of the National Administration.
The Iuteiiigencer publishes a sketch of a re-
cent speech delivered by Mr.. Amos A. Law
renee before the convention that renominated
the present incumbent for the Governorship of
Massachusetts, and takes occasion enthusiast
ically to respond to its Union-Ioving sentiments,
saying:
"The sentiments Of Mr. Lawrence so lust In
themselves, and the more entitled to respect as
proceeding from the worthy son of a worthy sire,
Will be found in marked contrast with the recon-
mendatlonS ca hose who. in these DAYS of sec-
tional strife and collision, have been brought to
deem 1t their duty to invoke in the political arena

direction to be imposed on the political activity
OF the country, MI. Lawrence. il will be seen

citizens may ever be called to see a ..united

sectional aims exulting in the consciousness of
sectional power, except so far as the latter pro-
ceeds from those sources which render il in
evltable and just in the order of nature and i'm
conformity with the genius of institutions
These sources he finds in the intelligence. in

scTlbed by the National Constitution NAV bring
It's proper reward without involving Injustice to
any portion Of the Union. If the rivalry between
the two sections so commonly placed in political
antagonism could be confined to generous emu
lation In the acts which contribute to the ma
terlal prosperity of each, and to the embellish-
ment OF social life, we might witness perhaps
the decline of certain political fortunes in the
North and in the South, but we cannot doubt
that the real wealth and moral influence Of both
would be augmented in degree quite sufficient
TO indemnify either for the loss Of its friendly
and patronising agitators," who are never so
happy as when endeavoriDg to convince their
feilow-citiZens of some impending danger, which
