SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Union comments upon the unmanly
fear exhibited by the British press in relation
to the Cherbourg works, and thinks that every
advance made by France towards war equal
ity with England, is a further guarantee Of
continued peace, Great Britain being remark
tons with nations whose power she fears.
The Union, also, maps out the field of In
diana politics, and further taunts the Republi-
cans with their want of a respectable constitu-
tion on which to found q prctext for advocating
the admission of Kansas next winter.
As due no less to the high official position oil
Speaker Orr, than to the ability and dignity he
has displayed in the discharge of its respon.
sible duties, the Intsii,gsncer publishes his
address at a dinner rendered him by the peo-
pie of Cratonville, s. c. This speech, says that
Journal, while naturally taking somewhat Of
color from the political sentiments entertained
by Mr.. Orr, will be found pervaded by a
breadth of conception and soundness of judg-
ment which do honor to his intelligence and
candor as an American statesman called to
discuss questions of high political concern in
the light not only of temporary expediency
but Of public right and natural Justice
The InteLAgencer, further, noticing the first
news dispatch over the ocean telegraph, says
I" IL cannot fail, we are sure to strike the at.
tention of all as remarkable coincidence T. at
the Atlantic Telegraph, whose wires were d rst
made to thrill In echo TO the declaration of the
Herald Angels, announcing s'Peace on Earth,

From the New York Post
The Future of DOugIas--WiIh
What Party will lIe so.

Senator Douglas stands free to take ei-
ther course. He is as yet in still water
with a perfect freedom Of election to serve
either master. II be goes with the North,
he must 60 great deal further than he
has gone, before be can find rest. If be
goes with the South, be has many steps
to retrace. Whichever path be takes be
will have many things to be forgiven by
bis new allies, and be will find in either
party many competitors for the prize up
on which his eye is fixed, who will watch
bis progress with envy and distrust. The
material wealth, the numerical strength,
and the intellectual activity Of the free
States prepoHderate in the Confederacy.
They must sooner or later have the gov
ernment, but they are not united under an
organization sufficiently compact to resist
the penetrating assaults Of the slavery
phalanx; and if the have other prOSiden-
tiaI timber, of an earlier growth and Of
larger size than be could hope TO measure
in many years. On the other hand, the
South has been promised the next candi-
date for the Presidency, and if it had rot
been, there is no prospect Of the Admin
istration party being able to succeed with
any candidate upon the policy it is now
striving TO impose upon the country. II
the country weIe to be poled to morrow
upon the Presidents Kansas policy, it
would be far more likely not to receive
the support of all the slave States than to
receive the support Of any single one Of
the free States. From such party Mr..
Douglas would hardly desire nomina-
ton, If be couli get one, nor could be
get one if there vas any possibility of cleo
ting man with what is called, in the
terIninology Of politics, "a clean record"
Mr.. Douglas doubtless made up bis mind
before separating from the Administration,
that there was no possibility Of electing
such person, and that the choice of the
Charleston Convention would be some
man, if any could be found, who would
bring with him three or four free States.
That be knows, no southern man can do
aud if any northern man with southern
principles can do it, he has cool reasons
for believing himself to be that man. 1
remains for the chapter of accidents to de-
termine whether BY proving himself tht
most conservative and liberal candidate o
the pro-slayery party, he will succeed il
detachiug three or four northern states

them defy all competition for the nomina
tion. 1t is for The chapter Of accidents
to determine whether be can 90 far enougl
for such result without going too far
and whether it will be practicable for bio
thus to hold with the South while run
ming with the North. He has willy ad
versares aud rivals, who will not ALLOW
him to occupy such an indefinite position
between the two great palties of tn
) country if they can help it. and he wi

THE STATESMEN ON DISU-
MON.

The Editor of the Ohio Statesman Is
neither Postmaster nor tide.walter. lie
talks right out as every Independent Dem
ocrat should against the Lecompton fraud
and is no longer weak-kDeed about the
Union because Southern nulh6ers bluster
and threaten to 'let it slide" if the Le'
compton swindle should be rejected. We
rejoice to see the revival, even in a slight
degree among the Democracy of the old
Jackson spirit, which declared with ire
sistibIe force-@The Union must be pre-.
served"
1t is refreshing to read such paragraphs
as the following from the Statesman oil
Tuesday. The truths and suggestions con-
tanned in them ought to leaven the whole
rarty in the State:
$50 far as the fate ofthe Union il IN
volved in this question, we cannot bring
ourselves up TO the point of entertaining
the least possible apprehension. Disunlon
enters into no part of our calculations =
We have neither faith in it nor fear OF it
But if the salvation of the Union depends
upon 80 light chance as the adoption Of
rejection Of the Lecomptcn Constitution il
claimed to hang upon, its days are about
numbered at all events, and there is ne
balm in this question, however decided
which could save it long enough to b.
worth much further trouble.
If there be party strong enough in th'
South to dissolve the Union, in consequence
of the rejection of the Lecompton Consti
tuition, the rejection would not restrain 0
POSTPONE their efforts a single month. l
tthey fail in finding one pretext for carry
inc on their traitorous Vaccinations, thel
will soon seek and fiud another, until the!
come to an end in success or failure. l
50 bent on their hellish design, the las
means Of opposing and defeating them
which we should recommend, would b
cancellation and sacrifice. The true wa,
to baulk extreme wickedness is to meet l
with prompt and exemplary resistance
Yield one demand to bad and violent men
and thev will encroach upon you with an
other still more ffagitious and intOleraOle.

Supposed Fatal Effects Of Un-
sound Corn.

B. G. Bedford, Paris, Kentucky, in
recent letter to us, says: "Our corn crop
is very much ipjuredby the wet weather.
One of my Cleveland bay colts died a few
days ago, think from eating unsound
corn. A gentleman near CentreviIIe, in
this county, lost four or five colts, and he'
I am informed, suppOses these deaths to
have been from the same cause. We can
not do better than to feed it to them, as
there is very little that is sound in the
country. 1t will be difficult to obtain sut-
fceUt good seed for planting in the spring
[ shall endeavor to obtain old corn, if pos
sibie. for this purpose. 1t would be well
for farmers to test their seed corn before
planting. Ills can be easily done by
planting good number OF grains in apot
of earth and keeping ii moist and warm
10 the house; if the seed germinates in
whole. or in part, it would show the ex'
act value of the corn for seed. "-l Ohio
Farmer.
