SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The O"ton calls to mind the professed vir-
ginity and immaculacy of the Republican party
when it was first organized and its utter alb
horrence of Native Amerieanism, and alludes
to the subsequent marriage of these two par
ties, reminding its readers that politics makes
people acquainted with strange bed-felIows.
Mr.. G. Wendell, late proprietor of the
Union, takes his leave of its readers in q
handsome valedictOry, stating that his rela-
lions to the paper during his proprietorship
have been purely of business nature, its
editorial management having been under the
exclusive control Of the gentlemen who retired
from the concern about two weeks ago. He
also incidentally states that he has conducted
the UHion as central Democratic press at
considerable pecuniary sacrifice to himself.
The InteIiigeneer gives notice that if, in the
trial now pending in the Criminal Court in this
city, any facts shall be disclosed of u nature to
offend the sensibilties of the refined and virtu-
Gus, or any evidence shall be tax on with the
view to the exposure of such facts it will only
report them as far as it deems compatible with
its duty to the purity well as the curiosity of
its readers.

that Mr.. Joseph L. Smith has been appointed
the agent to collect subscriptions in the District

of the State Of Maryland, soon to be opened
near the border of the District of Columbia.
The institution commends itself strongly to all
interested in the future progress in that most
useful Of all the useful arts-sgriculture; and,
indeed, to all who value the progress of society
generally. Besides, its wel-being is of par
ticular Importance to all in Washington. as an
additional public institution, the existence Of
which in our very midst as it were, is calcu-
lated to result in substantial pecunlary benefit
to all in business here. These considerations
should commend the Institution strongly to the
District community. We have, therefore. every
reason to anticipate that Mr. Smith will apply
in vain to the liberality of but few, in the dis
charge Of the duty devolved upon him. His
heart and soul are wrapped up in the enter
prise, and we commend him cordially to the
kind attention and consideration Of all ON whom
he may call with reference to the matter.
