SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union contains an article showing the
fraudulent nature of some of the California
land claims; and one advocating the construc-
ton Of Pacific Railroad, as measure of ma
tional policy.
The Inteiligeneer speaking of the returned
filibusters, doubts not that the intelligence
will be received with satisfaction, as we'll by
the Government as the great majority Of the
people of the United States, and hopes that
there will be no serious attempt made to man
ufacture an "outrsge" out of the humane
conduct of the British officers in the matter.

WASHINGToNNEWS AND GOSSIP.

SQUIRTING. few exceptions, the Oppo-
sition press of the North are busy misrspressnt-
ing the action of the Government with reference
to the affair of the wanderer. They are attri.
buting to the President and his CONSTITUTIONS
advisers indisposition to enforce the la" IDOL
ishing the African slave trade on the part Vi
citizens of the United States, against those con-
serned in the Wanderers unlawful venture.
In this they do gross injustice. 1t is very GER
tain that every power and expedient at the
command of the Government to recover the ne
groes illegally imported, and to punish the i'm
porters, has been put in motion; while it is no
less certain that no Government officials ever
exerted themselves more faithfully than have
those whose duty it is to attend to this case.
As strenuously as the officers Of the Govern
ment exerted themselves in the Wisconsin and
northern Ohio fugitive slave cases of late years,
their fidelity and earnestness did not surpass
the fidelity and earnestness with which the
United States law officers Of southern Georgia
are now endeavoring to vindicate the integrity
of the law in the case of 1" the w anderer"
This being so, aspersions on the Government
and its officers on the part Of those presses that
persistently abetted and justified the nullif-
cation Of the fugitive slave law, come with very
bad grace. They blow hot and cold with the
same breath. Thus. they were for o dissolu.
ton of the Union because the officers of the
Government essayed to enforce law they dis
liked and completely nullifed, and now 20 fol-
the dissolu ton Of the Union because the Off GERS
of the Government may not be able to enforce
law at the South, as obnoxious at the South
as the fugitive slave law is at the North; and
equally as justly so. For our part, though fol-
the due enforcement of both laws, we enter.
tain as little hope that the law for the suppress.
sion of the African slave trade can be duly en-.
forced in southern Georgia, as that the fugitive
slave law will hereafter be duly enforced in
northern Ohio and Wisconsin. We can, how.
ever, assure the disgruntled opposition press
of the North, that whenever public opinion in
their quarter will permit the fugitive slave
law to be aught but a dead letter there, they
may rely on it that public opinion at the South
will duly enforce every implied obligation in
the laws on the part of the South with refer.
encs to slavery.
