SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS


The InteiitgeNceT gives, this morning, a COM
municatiOn from a Virginia correspondent.
whose object is in concise terms - to define the
attitude which the two sections of the country.
lately arrayed against each other, would seem
to occupy with reference to the only operating
cause Of the alienation which has existed be-
tween them and from that attitude to derive a
lesson of moderation for the instruction of both
the North and the South, the former of which
may well be content with the prospect of peop-
ling all the new States which are likely to be
added to the Union, while the latter, if disap-
pointed in the acquisition of increased political
power by the Territorial legislation of the year
1854, has yet the amplest pledge in the guaran-
tee Of the Constitution and in the assurances of
the great bulk of the people of the non-slave-
holding States for the securing of its social sys
tenn where it already exists
The Union has another communication from
A Retired Statesman in which the Dallas
Clarendon treaty rejection is discussed
The Union, noting the hopeful change in the
signs Of the times, as indicated in the changed
tone and attitude of the leading men and
presses Of the opposition since the election of
Mr.. buchanan, says:
q He has been in power but three short months
and, in place OF the frightful evils which the
Black Republican papers confidently predicted
would follow his election, we find political friends
ana political opponents cordially and unitedly
assigning TO him the highest qualities as states
man and an administrative officer, and recognis.
ing IN his ofacai acts spirit Of energy, sagacty,
feariessness, and deep devotion to the true inter-
ests OF the whole country, which has elected
from them the liveliest expressions Of admiration
and gratitude

A Physicians Evidence on Dancing.

That beautiful, graceful accomplishment
Of dancing, so perverted by late hours and
the indecency OF fashionable attire, has
outraged many sensible people, and led
them to deprive the young ones of the
most simple and healthfnl enjoyments, be
cause It las been abused. For myself |
can testify not only to its healthful, but
recuperative power. The fortieth, nay,
fitch year of my age, found me enjoying
this life-cheering exercise. 1t should be
one OF the earliest amusements of children,
and care should be taken by parents that
it is understood as an amusement. While
am on this topic, | will mention a case
that occarred in my practice. A thought

children, brought to me her only remain

sleepless; of course, exciting, arbitrary
and uncomfortable; the poor child looked
sad, old, morbid and miserable. She had
been to school, because her parents thought
it an amusement for her to be with other
children.
After critically examining her physiog-

SOUND ADVICE n New Orleans Creole
speaks at length Of the duty Of Southern
men to encourage home manufactures and
sustain home enterprise ofevery character,
whether in commerce, education or Htera-
ture, and on the latter head it says:
Do we need Southern literature, Sou
thern books, Southern publication houses,
and Southern institutions of learning?
Patronize the Southern press as the first
step towards a Southern literature. Be
come reading people, especially of news
paper literature. The daily and weekly
press stimulates thought, awakes inquiry,
and keeps the public alive to the move
ments and necessities of the times. Like a
burning lens, it collects and concentrates
the scattered rays of public opinion, and
gives it form and power. It encourages the
first thought of aspiring how to fly, like
the eagle teaches its young eaglets how
to fly, until they dare, with eye upon the
sun, cleave the liquid air far into the blue
empyrean, so it trains the unfeged intellect,
until it can, with self poised wing, pierce
the bounds Of physical vision, and gaze
upon and reflect some faint rays Of the in
finite. Support your local press, then, as
the first step to a Southern literature, for,
as it is supplied with means Of usefulness,
it will gather power, and richness, and
versatility, itself pioneering the way the
Southern scholar must pass.

Old Fashioned Federalism.

In work written by John Adams, we
find the following extracts, which we ask
our readers to peruse with care and atten-
ton. They show in terms that cannot be
misapprehended or misunderstood, the es-
timation in which the Federal party, un-
der all its disguises or changes Of name,
have held the Industrious toiers of the
country:
''The people of all counties are n0t,1r-
ally divided into two sorts, the GENTLE
MEN and the SIMPLE MEN, a word
which is here chosen to signify the COM
MON PEOPLE. By the common peo-
pie, we mean loborers, MECHANICS a,ad hss-
bonduaen Ia general, who pursue their oc-
cnpations and industry, without any knowl-
edge in the liberal arts and sciences, or IN
anything but their own trades and pur-
suits."-L Vol. Ill, page 26S.
'Inequality Of birth. let no man be
surprised that this species Of irregularity
is introduced here. The children of II
LUSTRIOUS FAMILIES have general
ly greater advantages of education, and
earlier opportunities to be acquainted with
public characters, and be informed of pub
lie offices, than those Of MEANER ONES,
or even those Of MIDDLE E. Vol. /,
page 100.
There Is the plcture-hOW dO you like
1t? This is old Federalism, pure, true
blue, unadulterated; it has undergone no
possible modification from that hour to
the present. 1t has the same sneering
contempt for the laboring classes, they
who produce all the wealth, build all the
houses, dig our canals. construct our rail
roads, navigate our ships, that one Of its
progeaitors openly N,,eaessed ;,s-sl,, 9
pen. Federalism has always sought to
divide society in this country into castes
and classes, marked and distinctive as that
which exists in the crumbling monarchies
and over-grown aristocracies Of Europe
Indeed, it has ever an instructive yearn-
ing after the fiesh-pots Of Egypt has
invariably preferred the pomp and trap
pings OF a foreign court, the tinsel and
gew-gaws, Of a foreign nobility, to the re
publican plainness and simplicity Of a
Democratic government.

StruccIcs Of the Great,

There is "a milder and serener from of
poverty, the nurse of manly energy and
heaven-climbing thoughts attended by love,
and faith, and hope, around whose steps
the mountain breezes blow, and from
whose countenance all virtures gather
strength. Look around you upon the dis
tinguished men that in every department
of life guide, and control the times, and
what was their origin and early fortuness ?
Were they, as a general rule, rocked and
drandled on the lap of wealth! No. Such
men emerge from the homes Of decent
competence or rstrugglngpoverty. Neces-
sity sharpens their faculties, privations
and sacrifice brace their moral nature.
They learn the great art of remuneration,
and enjoy the happiness Of having few
wants.-Ihey know nothing ofindifference
or safety. There is not an idle fiber in
their frames. They put the vigor Of a
icsolute purpose into every act. The edge
OF their minds is always kept sharp. In
the shock of life, men like these meet the
softly nurtured darlings Of prosperity, as
the vessel Of iron meets the vessel of
porcelain. Lift your hearts above the
region Of wild hopes and cowardly fears.
Put on that even temper OF mind which
shall be "a shadow in success and a light in
adversely. Ifwealth and distinction come,
receive them in thankful and moderate
spirit; if they do not come, fiil their places
with better guests. Remember that all
which truly exalts and ennobles a man is
bound TO him by ties as indissoluble as
those which link the planets to the sun.
Plant yourself upon Gods immutable laws,
and fortune and failure will be no more
than vapors that curl and play far beneath
your feet.
