SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The IntelIigsHcsr, discussing the attitude OF
Moth opd Soutb

extreme politicians, North and South, says:
swe observe that many of our contemporaries,
both in the North and in the South, continue to
make the political complications of Kansas the
theme of comment, and to find in them the I'M
failing topic of sectional strife and bitterness
For ourselves, we confess to a hearty WEAKNESS
with the controversy, which, even II conducted
in the best possible spirit would before this have
began TO pail upon our taste. But when to the
ceaseless iteration Of the same commonplaees on
this subject is added the fact that these latter
generally revolve within the same narrow circle
OF sectional prejudice to which each party indi-
Gates respectively its allegiance, the defamation
70 proflsely poured forth becomes obnoxious in
a double sense, and is endued with two-fOld
nerve Of others, we find it impossible to resist in

to mind the late earnest efforts of the Intelh-

with and sympathy for it. The Union also
illustrates the fact that inter-party feuds inva-
riably lead to defeat and the disappointment
of all concerned in them by instancing the fate
of the Democracy of New York for some years
past; and also rejoices over the dawn of the
day seeing the party in that State again an

reason for this course is the nomination of Judge

The fact that it takes such course, after its

to strengthen the hands of the Democratic party
as represented by the present National Admin

strikes us as preposterous. 1t could only do
