IL Our neighbor Of the Erdmiasr is Informed
that our authority for saying that the capital story
of " Adele Barron originally appeared in the
knickerbOcker Magazine Is first class. a.. that
OF the author himself and also that of the editor
OF the Examiner, who, editor Of the Wash
lnSton News" copied the story years ago in that
paper, and gave credit to the Knic kerbocker. The
author Of " Adele Barron we may add, is a gen.
uefnan Of well-known public spirit and benevo-
Ience, and was formerly resident Of this city.
IL viii perhaps be violating no confidence to add
That the strkingly graphic series of articles headed
. Legislative Experience" which appeared some
time since in the ". Y. Post, was from his Den.

from this series, will be remembered by our read

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Constitution reviews the recent speech
of the Hon VIM. c. Rives, and suggests that
ID echoes the death knell to n united Oppose
ton, which has already sounded from both
Wing and 'BIack Republican" quarters
The Consultation shows that il is the fault
of Congress, and not of the President, as init
mated by the Opposition, that our citizens
have lacked protection in Mexico.
The Latefligeneer is opposed to any attempt
upon the integrity of Mexican territory at the
present time, whether undertaken under the
auspices of legitimate diplomacy, or of that
''orgaHi=ed emigration" which is prompted
by private pillage.
