SPIRITO OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union publishes the April monthly
statement of the commerce OF New York as
showing that the extravagant importations OF
the past few years have greatly abated, while,
notwithstanding the lower prices which are
ruling for all our staples of export, their value
has, during the first four months of the present
calendar year, cqualled, and that for April
ultimo exceeded, the values of the correspond
ing periods of the last two years. Thus, while
our purchases from abroad have been greatly
moderated, our sales have held their own |;
which is a condition of trade the most favor
able possible for recuperation and for the rein
statement of prosperity. If this state of things
continue little longer, We shall have attained
that equilibrium in our foreign trade, which Is
the normal and natural state of all commerce.
The figures would indicate that, whereas the
impOrtations of the whole Union during the first
four months of 1856 were about SlO7 ,OO0, 900
and of 1857 about Sl3O, 0OO, 900; those for the
present year up to this date have only been
about 500 100000 The only thing which this
change has affected iDjuriously is the customs
receipts. Taking New York as a criterion,
the tariff revenue of the Union in the first
third OF the present calendar yea- has fallen
81, 800, 900 from those of the same period in
1897, and 81, 100000 below those of the first
third of 1856. If this state of things continue
1t viii result that while the affairs of Uncle
Sam people will be getting cleverly on their
legs again, his own finances will be falling into
very straitened condition
The Union is perfectly willing to acknowl-
edge defeat Of the Democratic party and can
dldates IN the recent municipal elections Of
Philadelphia, but denies that the election Of
the citizens ticket was defeat of Lecompton
and Of the Administration for supporting it
The I1tefiigencer regrets tho demise of Sem
ator Evans.

WASHING TON NEWS AND GOSSIP

NEW PARrY.-The Philadelphia Press
Ell tu Brute lis busily engaged in efforts to
generate ga new party" Now, this, from
Thomas Jeffersons time to o.day, has been
the work of renegadcs and other defeated enc.
mics of the Democracy. Who does not COM
prehend tho fact that no man faithful to the
principles of the Democratic party organiza-
tion Is, ever engaged in such work; and fur
ther that it is the invariable course of men
who from disappointment or any other sinister
motive discover their connection with the De-
mocracy, to seek to maintain position in the
public eye by lending themselves to the enemies
OF that party
The truth is, Mr. John W. Forney, with less
excuse for his regeneration than any other
deserter from the Democracy ever had, finds
that his only remaining hope in politics is to
strengthen the bands of the Republican party,
and notwithstanding his record from the mo-
ment he entered public life until President
Buchanan declined to make him a member Of
his Cabinet, he is bold and reckless enough to
play out the game of his Republican, party
hackers to the bitter end. Fortunately, his in
fluence with the Democracy of Pennsylvania is
gone He can not carry five hundred votes
with him. That is, of persons who supported
James Buchanan in the last Presidential cleo.
ton. In a week after the next Pennsylvania
State election, Mr.. FOrney will be as thorough
ly and avowedly identified with the Republi.
cans as David Wilmot is ut this moment
