SPLRIT or THIS MORNING PRESS


The Union speaks in high terms of the speech
delivered yesterday in the House hall by Mr..
GrOesbeck, of Ohio. upon the ilibuster question,
which certainly marked that gentleman as
likely to occupy very high position as legis-
lative statesman, as well as a debater. Few
first efforts in the House hall have ever won for
honorable members more than that which Mr.
ii. earned for himself on this occasion
In an able editorial, the Union also makes
it clear that the position held by President Blu
chanan upon the act of c commodore Paulding is
identical with that occupied by the Republican
party of Congress in 1919, when the question in
issue was General Jseksons nominal invasion
Of Florida to arrest and hang Arbuthnot and
Ambrister. The editor scouts the idea of placing
Commodore Paulding and Walker in the same
category.
The IHfslfgeResr is to-day entirely devoted
to news and Congressional matters.
