SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

3ne OHIcn says OF the Istet(tgencer's re-
cent exposition of its ideas on the distribution
question:
II has devoted several columns to provo
the necessity and propriety of dividing among
the states all moneys derived from the sales
OF the public lands. 1t uses the oft refuted
arguments with reference to the constitutional
power as well as expediency; but, apparently
doubling the effect Of them, it resorts to new
mode Of demonstration. Virginia is told that,
II the Intelligencsr's policy had been adopted,
che would have received sundry millions OF
dollars from the national treasury, and might
have accomplished sundry purposes with the
same. Not feeling confident as to the effect Of
this statement, it presents laborious columns
Of figures to show what each county might
have received if the State had drawn from
the national treasury what it alleges would be
Virginis's share. 1t apparently expects to
arouse the sel6shness and cupidity of counties
by directing their attention to what each could
have received. The Intelligenccr seeks to
make Virginia abandon her ancient policy
and adopt new one, founded upon the plum
DER OASIS 1t desires her to ignore the princi-
pies she has ever maintained in relation to the
tariff, and adopt others based upon the theory
OF giving away our revenue derived from one
source to create the necessity Of obtaining the
whole from another. This would lay the fouu.
dation Tor an enormous high tariff
The Inteiiigencsr contains letter from ex.
Gov. German, Of Minnesota, announcing that
he regards the bill for the removal of the seat
Of Government of that Territory from St.
Pauls to st. Peters, before its legislature at
its last session, as having become law, and
saying that the Hon. Reverdy johnson has
given An opinion endorsing the correctness of
this view.
Appropriation the 9th instant the Mime.
sofa Legislature meets, and, though their ses.
sion must be short, they will have an exciting
time over this seat of Government question,
and that of the apportionment of the lands
given by Congress to the Territory for railroad
purposes. The attendance of strangers-per-
sons from the statcs-interested in St. Paups
and st. Peter'sproperty, stock in the proposed
railroads, and lands in the Territory, will be
immense, doubtless. We should not be sur
Prised If thousands such persons wehd their
way thither.
