SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS
The Intelligencsr this morning continues its
publication of the Supreme Csart's decision in
the Dred Scott case, and contains great mass
of general news from all quarters of the globe.
The Union contains a number of very able
and interesting editorials upon various public
questionable conflict of the laws, the Know
NOthingism in New Orleans the Cotton panic
&c.
We also find In the Union an elaborate let
ter from Mr.. Edward A. Pollard, in defence
OF the career Of Walker in Nicaragua, which.
though replete with what appears to us to be
singular misapprehensions of facts, the truth of
which are now as well known to the world as
the untruth of the telegraphic dispatches from
New Orleans concerning Walkers victories
(Which subsequently turned out to be defeats, is
30 well put together as to be likely to prove Of
some avail in the matter of generating sympa-
thy for his cause in the minds Of the unthinking
who are inclined to fancy that Americans can do
no wrong
Fortunately, however, the press in all quar-
tiers of the country, have published the facts of
his (Walker's) Central American career SO
widely, as that it will be difficult to induce
sympathy for his cause in the breast of any one
who believes in the propriety of respect for our
own laws and the rights of others. That those
who justify violations of all laws. human and
divine, for the sake of bolstering money-making
speculations, to crafty individual ambition, or
under an honest hallucinaton with reference to
the duty Of American propagandism-and there
are such persons in the world, reader-should
sympathize with the cause of the fillibusters in
Nicaragua is by no means remarkable; and to
our mind illustrates forcibly the necessity for
vigorous measures on the part of this Gov
eminent within the law, to compel entire re-
spect for its every requirement in such matters
Our wonder is, that gentleman of so much
intelligence as the writer Of the letter on which
We are commenting evidently possesses, and we
may add of the honesty of purpose with which
he sets about the task of justifying such acts as
were done in Nicaragua in the name of Amer
icanism, can himself rest under such cloud of
delusiOn. To that we attribute his effort To give
the color Of heroism to the acts of the libusters
In Nicaragua, the unvarnished particulars of
which are known through the pens of hundreds
OF American sufferers under them to all in the
United States who read newspapers. We pre-
sumo that we hardly need assure those at a dis
lance that any efforts to induce this Government

hlibusterism in Nicaragua that may be essayed.

INTERESTING TO FAMILIES.

The following extract from a New York paper
cannot fail to be interesting. In referring to -
the receipts Of Teas in this country for one m MI
year up to 3Oth ultmo, it say they will be l2-t1
0o 900 pounds short Of the imports of the year end
ing June 81, 1856, and that
The advance in black teas. Oolongs, since last
December, has been fifteen cents per pound and
Young Hyson Teas, of low and medium grades,
have experienced an advance Of one hundred per
cent. over last seasons closing prices.
1t viii thus be seen that the strong and rapid
advance In the tea market has been the result of
short supply and active demand but when it is con-
sldered that We may hear at any moment of the en-
tire suspension of shipments at Shanghai, and. in
fact, that, soon sufficient force from England
arrives at the seat of war, all five ports of entry in
1t would not be surprising to see Teas at a much
higher figure than they have yet attained"
