SPIRIT OF THE BNIZG PRESS. The Intelligencer sa: “If the distant reader could see all that is going on out West among the politicians he would bo amused as well as rised at their perplexities. In Michigan pee Illinois, for instance, the Whig candi- dates for Congress were first reviled as Aboli- tionists, and as being opposed to the right of the people to regulate their own institutions. Then. as the cunvess advanced, it was urged that Whig opposition to the Nebraska bill was opposition to the spread of freedom. This magical measure, it was said, would not only make Kansas and Nebraska Free Siates, but would forever destroy the idea of another Slave State, even if territory were acquired to the Isthmus of Darien. Other grounds as- sumed by the Democracy are, that the Nobras- ka bill does not open the Territory to slavery, that slavery cannot exist without positive law, and that slavery has never advanced a step into free territory.” The Union, in commenting on the growing disposition in England and Spain in favor of letting us have Cuba, says of the President’s Position on the question: “ He came into power resolved honorably to wire that island, and he believes this du to be binding on him still, no matter whether the question is considered in its relations to humanity, to commerce, or to freedom. While Spain adheres to that island, and to the miser- able policy which has disgraced her authority there, it will be impossible to suppress the ac- tive sympathy of thouzands in this country for those who suffer from despotism in sight of our shores. The same causes will continue to annoy our merchants and our shippers; and thus Cuba will be no less a magazine of dis- content to Spain than a pretext for armed ex- peditions from the United States. view of all thesp circumstances, and others familiar to the world, that the President, while sternly enforcing our laws against those who contemplate illezal expeditions upon Cuba, has preserved in every ioaorable expe- dient to induce Spain to come to terms on this issue.’” The Sentinel discusses the position of the the “ Silver Gray” Whigs of New York. : -e eo T=ANKSGIVING Days.—The following States have now maa a. crr-intment: Maine, Nov. 30; New Hampshire, Nov. 30; Pennsyl- vania, Nov. 30; Indiana, Nov. 30; Kentucky, Nov. 30; Ohio, Nov. 30, Ma:yleua, Ivov. 23; Wisconsin, Nov. 23; New Jersey, Nov. 23; Florida, Nov. 23. .

F. Butler asked H. C. Snow, of Groton, a witness on the stand, if he belonged to the secret society of Know Nothings. At first Snow denied that he did, but fivally, afver conzulting counsel, answered in the affirmative; and a long cross exami- nation elicited further answers. He had been amember of the society four or five months. Upon joining it he took an oath, “go help me God.” There are two degrees in the society. Had seen at the meetings Dr. Norman Smith and Deacon John Pingree, two other witnes- sesinthecase. Refused td tell the form of initiation, because it might criminate him and expose him to punishment from the society. Judge Bishop said it was a startling revela- tion that men took sceret oaths, whieh they regarded as above the oaths administered in the courts. A. M. Gage, another witness, tea- tified that he had belonged to the secret order but left it three months since. ‘he kind of oath administered, he said, was like that pub- lished in the Boston Post of October 25.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Moral Disease of the Times.—Just now, the press ef both great political parties are ory- ing aloud against the interminable propensity of some of the clergy to meddle in politics,as de- monstrated in this country within the last few years, and more especially within six months past. The stornr of abolitionism now raging is nearly altogether of their generating— p speeches being substituted for sermons nearly once a week in évery abolition pulpit. Profiting by, or gather presuming on, the li- cense they derive from the respect which the country has for their calling, and the circum- stances under which they belch forth their multitude of falsehoods and slanders of those whose views on public affairs are not to their taste, they have this season rushed forward much more than ever before to become candi- dates for civil rather than ecclesiastical pffice, and a large number of them have been elected to political positions. We need hardly remark, that this is against the spirit of our institu- tions—diametrically opposed to it. Their charge is, the affairs of eternity—not tempo- ral affairs. Wherever, they as a class, have obtained political power abroad, they have abused it—never yet failing to use it for oppression of the people, and for other sinister purposes—or the written history of the world is false from beginning to end. The knowledge of this fact, common to all Ameri- cans who know anything, has generated a well grounded repugnance in this country to priest- ly interference in secular ‘affairs, which is just now bursting forth in all quarters of the coun- try, and more especially in New York, where, through psuedo-priestly machinations, some of the church councils and moral and religious associations of all sorts are openly resolving to take part in the coming elections, and almost pronouncing anathemas of damnation against those acting with them in spiritual matters? who will not obey their behests in political affairs. Weare right glad that they undor- take to thrust their cloven hoofs in the sight of the public before they have really succeeded in obtaining the political power at which they aim. We are glad of it, for the sake of pure treligion, which has done so much for our country, as for all the rest of the world. While nine-tenths of the Christians—all the true Christians—of the land deplore with us this manifestation of selfishness, pride, worldli- ness, and other emanations from the counsels of the evil cne,in the American church of various denominations, they will doubtless agree with us in rejoicing that it has been laid bare to the gaze of a free people ever jealous of their liberties, and ever ready to check the spread of practices which threaten those liberties, immediately or remotely. Up to a few years since, Christianity, in the United States, was almost without a blotch upon its fair face, and it was doing more for the regeneration of man here, than in any ether country under the sun. But human reason has been set up by many spiritual teachers as the God for their flocks to worship The consequence has besn the very natural generation of hundreds of thousands of ‘“per- fectibles’”’—men who. instead vf walking manhly sad humbly in thy otgut ur the Lord, ure eternally chuckling over the idea thatthey are much better than the publicans and sin- ners, their neighbors and fellow countrymen, one and ail. Another regult of this clerical abandonment of the Bible as the proper guide for all men, has been the creation of one hun- dred infidels and scoffers in our land, where one existed thirty years ago. These are cir- cumstances greatly to be deplored, snd their existence is proved by the so much greater frequency of crime everywhere in the United States, and the so much lighter regard in which what were formerly cotisidered mon- strous crimes, are now popularly held, though church edifices have multiplied almost mirac- ulously in this country, and money is now given in immense sums nominally for the con- version and regeneration of poor fallen man, here and elsewhere. It strikes us that the evil at the bottom of the existing state of things, threatening so seriously to sap the foundations of pure spiritual Christianity in our land, is about to be cured. The act of those nominal Christian teachers who forget that their mission is not of this earth, in sud- denly rushing forward to assume the practica! control of public affairs in this country, can- not fail to arouse the great body of the Amer- ican Christians of the land to the duty of checking them in their mad career, if they would prevent scepticism from prevailing everywhere, and anti-church combinations from springing up in every quarter where there may be citizens of the United States who are indisposed to give up the control of Amer- ican public affairs, to demagogues seeking po litical power under the guise of managing the matters of moral and religious associations. The Cost of Military Transportation.—Fre- quently hearing and reading comments upon the enormous cost of the Quartermaster’s department to the Treasury of the United States, we have been induced to devote some time toinquiries into the subject, and think we have discovered the cause of this heavy pro rata increase of expense in that branch of the military service of the United States, in the fact, that though Congress can force the Army te do at least twice as much active duty as is done by any other similar number of troops of apy other Government in time of peace, it can- not lessen the extra transporiation and othe: incidental expenses growing out of frequent and extensive changes in the position of the different corps. The saving in the pay of the officers and men, by keeping their number down to the lowest possible notch, is’ almost counterbalanced by the heavy increase of the expenses of the Quartermaster’s department, and other incidentals resulting almost wholly from requiring double duty of the different corps. This is a point which will prove of in- terest next winter, and we trust that some pub- lic functionary who may properly make an exposition on the subject, will supply Congress with the facts and figures bearing.on the mat ter. Poland not to be Again made a Govern- ment.—It does not seem to be thought by the diplomatists in this city that the Allies will venture on the hazardous experiment of de- claring Poland free from Russian dominion, as that policy will be an invitation to Russia to start the ball of revolution in western Europe wherever the Czar’s open‘ or secret enemies can be injured by that policy on his part. He has nothing, absolutely nothing to lose by bringing about a second edition of the state of things in western Europe occurring in 1848, and then imminently threatening the exist- —~ i <a Ladies w York dress their hair | ence 6f more than one of the governments now a (a Grisi for eve arties, at present.

He has but to raise his finger, by way of encouragement, to give his enemies more than they can conveniently manage at home, by way of occupation for their troops. The diplomatists here believe that the Allies know that if they commence the game of rey- olution against him, he will instantly play it far more effectively against them. So they do notentertain the idea that-any such line of policy will be resorted to, on the part of the Allies, as that suggested by the Parisian pamphleteers, who ate urging Louis Napo- leon and Victoria to declare Poland once more an independent nation. €] , Non-Liability of the United States for Un. authorized Purchases —In answer to ‘an in- quiry by letter, pertinent to the subject-mat- ter, we have to say that when s purchase has been made ostensibly on account of the United States, by a person or officer not duly author- ized, the contract is illegal and not binding on the Government. The vendor should as- Certain the scope of the purchaser’s authority before parting with his property: but if the articles purchased have been astually used for proper Government purposes, on due proof of that fact, payment has. been made to the amount of their fair value; and a credit has als> been allowed for payments when the agent paying had no Government funds, if the expenditure enured tothe benefit of the United States; although there is no lien against the Government for advances made to its use.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE Battimwors, Nov. 1, 1854. I purpose only writing you a beief note to-night. The great match trot between “Felix,” owned by Wm. McDonald,” and “Joe,” belonging to James Corderay, came off this afternoon over the Herring Run Course, at the appointed hour. ‘The attend- ance was very large, and highlyrespectable. Among those present was Senator Thomas Pratt, of Mary- land, and quite a number of distinguished gentlemen fond of the turf. The match was advertised for $2 000 a side, best three in five. I learn, however, that the stakes, in reality up, amounted only to $2,000, being $1,000 a side. Up to the hour of starting, much confidence was manifested in “Joe,” and bets had been prewy, free on him, probably th’tiags started off fairly; “Felix, however, began to gain, and kept ahead, winning three straight heats, taking the purse. Time, as near as Fcan ascertain it, was: 2.48 for the first and second heat, and for the third 2.41%. This, though fair, is by no means creditable to either of the horses, and fails to establish their reputation as fast animals. “The race is not always to the swift, hor the battle to the strong.” The day was pecu- liarly favorable, and the course in fine condition. It is now currently rumored that Rev. Isaac P. Coek, bookseller, stationer, and local Methodist preacner, (and, by the way, a most excellent man,) is to be appointed city collector under the new American municipal administration. I only ps this as a current report. If appointed, he will be fully competent to the task, and doubtiess give gen- eral satisfaction. The duties of the office will in no way interfere with his pastoral labors on Sunday. ‘The only difficulty may be, that man’s physical or ganization seems to require rest from labor one day in seven. If, therefore, he should devote the Sab- bath to preaching, there might be a coustitutional breakdown. Capt. Rollins, commander of the steamer Isabel, reported lost, is still in Baltimore. He feels especial anxiety to hear more definitely from his ship, and entertains some hope that she may yet be safe. There will, however, in either event, be no inter- ruption to the regular trips between Havana and Charleston. Another steamer is to take the Isabel’s place immediately, and continue the trips with the mails. Not one word has been said by our Health Com- missioner and City Physician in reference to there being yellow fever on Fell’s Point and that region.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Guoreztown, November 2, 1854. Some of the friends of the Rev. Norval Wilson, who believe that the remarks in the Washington correspondence of the Baltimore Sun of yesterday, that he fell at the parsonage of the Foundery church in a fit, caused by the use of opium during the day, is calculated todo Mr. Wilson great injustice, have authorized us to say that the report in the main is incorrect. The facts in the case are simply these: Mr. Wil- son had taken, by order of-a physician, early in the day, a small dose of laudanum, the effects of which had entirely worn off before he went to the church.

Asour Coau.—The New York Journal of Commerce says: 5 ‘Newspapers have advised consumers to defer making their purchases of coal, with a view of cor palling dealers to lower their prices. The result has been that very little coal has been sold, except to supply current wants, and a comparatively smail amount hag been forwarded from the mines, because there was but little demand. At the same time, while consumers have empty cellars, large ac- cumulations of coal have taken place at tide- water, and in some of the city yards. We hear it rumored that, as navigation will not hold out more than five or six weeks longer, deal- ers will avail themselves of the opportunity to put up prices, and remunerate themselves for past losses. High prices for fuel during the coming winter would be especially provoking, as there is no actual scarcity. ‘The Miners’ Journal, published in the Lehigh region, tells us that on Friday the canal boatmen held a meeting, and resolved to advance the freights for the balance of the season. The exact amount of the advance is not stated, but the sums $2.35 and $2.50 per ton were named.” Azrest oF JuDgz Knowiton.—The United States Deputy Marshat arrived here yester day, having in custedy J nage Knowlton, of the Circuit Court.
