SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.» The Intelligencer is to-dsy wholly a news- paper containing nothing editorial, save a paragraph laudatory of the Hon. Mr. Everett, az a lecturer. The Union officially and indignantly denies the truth of the story repeated some time since by Mr. Washburne, of Maine, in debate in the House, that the President, before dis- missing Reeder, offered him a foreign mission if he would resign. ‘he editor nails it to the counter as base coin. ~~ A Varvastz Exeravixe.—Calvia Bobn, well known through his connection with such enterprises, has just published a steel plate likeness of the late Thomas Ritchie, which as 8 faithful portrait of that distinguished and good man, is equal toanything of the kind ever executed. It could not in any respect be improved. Copies are for gile at Bohn’s pe- riodical and newspaper stand in the vestibule of the House of Representatives. Warce Maxine wo tre Usitep States.— We have hitherto been dependant on Europe for the “‘works’”’ of our watches, though the eases have been manufactured in this country. Now, Messrs. Dennison, Howard & Davis, of Waltham, Mass., have commenced the manu- facture of these works with new and ingenious machinery, by which the teeth cf the wheels are accurately cut and finished at once, re- quiring uo other touches by the workmen Bo true is this work, that the watches may not only be made tokeep correct time, and what has hitherto been considered an impossibility, may all be made to keep the same time. Should maehinery cut ‘“‘worls’’ succeed, as there is no reason why they should not, we shal! pro- bably come in time to supply the old world with cheap watches, as well as clocks. Why not? For Lisgria —The Rev. Wm. McLain, Fi- nancial Secretary of the American Colonisa- tion Society, gives notice of the departure of the next vessel for Liberia, as follows : “Our next vessel for Liberia will sail from Baltimore about the 15th of May, and from Savannah, Georgia, about the lst of June. Emigrants designing to embark in her will please be ready in time. Persons wishing to send freight will please apply soon Letters for citizens of Lib and for the African Squadron will be duly forwarded. “* We expect to send in the vessel two ready- made houses, of Burnttised wood, large and commodious, for the occupancy of emigrants during their first six montks in Liberia “The Rev. John Seyrs, so long and favora- bly known as a missionary in Liberia, has been engaged to go out in this vessel to super- intend the erection of the receptacles, and also to make an exploration of the interior and eeleet a suitable situation for a new set- tlement, and make preparations for a com- pany of emigrants to be sent out in our No. vember expedition. To meet the expenses of these two heures and founding the interior setllement we need $25,000, which we trust our friends will speedily send us.” Tue Late Sreamsoat Disaster on tHe Detaware.—The work of dragging the Dela. ware for the bodies of the victims of the burn- ing of the New Jersey, was continued on Saturday. The ice was very heavy, and the operations of the grapplers were greatly ob- structed. No bodies were reeovored during the forenoon The boiy of a female was brought to the surface by one of the ‘drags,’ but at the seme moment a cake cf ice struck the boat. and the body was lozt About noon the body of Asa Bullard, the agent of the Jersey Blue newspaper, was found in the river opposite Vine street, and taken on bourd the John Fiteh. This body was considerably burned about the head, snd the clothing on the back waz also nearly ned of. Mr. S. 8. Gwinn, of Williamsport, who was reported missing, was not on board of the steamer at the time of the disaster Shortly after noon, the bedy of Mr. §. Briggs was fished up, feet foremost, and on the same iron was the body of a female, supposed to be Miss Fullerton, but vhe slipped from the hook and went down. The faze of Mr. Briggs presented a shockin sight, adeep incision being in the Geakaat. and his entire face and right hand was badly burned In bis left hand he held a window frame. The deceszed did business at No. 29 North Fourth street, above Arch, and resided in Penm street. above Fifth, Camden, where be leaves a wife and three children. Tota! number of bodies recovered 30. There are still 30 missing. Mr. Henry Lelarge, whose body was recovered on Thursday, was a Second Advent preacher On Saturday morning a hearing took place in the case of Wm. 8.

Affairs in Kansas —It is very evident from late advices from Kansas, that the breach in the Free-State party of the Territory is rap- idly; becoming so wide as to preglude the pos- sibility that it can much longer act, dg here- tofote,as a unit. We have, for some time past, on reliable information from private sources, anticipated this state of things in ‘Kansas. A gentleman of intelligence, for- merly in Congress from a non-slaveholding State, whote sympathies are all against the idea of making Kansas a slaveholding State’ and whose present business has kept him in the Territory for two or three years past, tells us that abolitionism will, in the end, bring about the adoption of a slaveholding State Constitution, which, but for that, could never cceur there. He says that the leaders and active men of the dominant wing of the Free- State party are quite as ultra in their aboli- tionism as any New England abolitionists; while the great body of Northern emigrants who have gone into the Territory without the assistance of the Emigrant Aid Societies, en- tertain only such views with reference to slavery as are entertained by the most of the people of Illinois, and though preferring a non-slaveholding constitution, have no dispo- zition whatever to interfere with slavery in Missouri, or to keep up the border war with the eitizens of that State. The Abolition demagogues, however, will listen to nothing of the sort, and are so bent on making Kansas a mere halting and blowimg ground for runaway negroes from Missouri, and otherwise an ultra Abolition State, as that to put them down, and thus prevent Kan- sas from being kept for years in hot water with Missouri, they (the moderate free-Siate men) will, in the end, surely make common cause with those who are for the adoption of a slaveholding State constitution. The late proceedings of the abolition lead- ers in their mock legislature, as detailed in the Kansas correspondence of the New York Tribune and Times show conclusively the correctness of the judgment of the gentleman to whom we refer above, as to their violence and want of common sense in the management of the affairs of the Territory, which they have usurped. It strikes us that the intrigues of James H. Lane, (who when in Congress, it will be recollected, out-Heroded all other abolitionists of the North in his apparent de- votion to the institutions of the South,) are doing quite their share to render the moder- ate and honest free-state men disgusted with the idea of having the affairs of the Territory eventually get lawfully into the hands of the demagogues who seek power there under the pretence of guarding Kansas from the influ- ence of slavery. Lane is in his element, evi- dently ; being surrounded by a gang of per- sonal adherents possessing as little character as himself, and like him with about sufficient courage to bully any peaceful brother free- statesman, who may cross his or their path, if not sufficient to bear him and them man- fully through affairs with men after the order of the Honorable Theodore Hunt. Lane can make mischief enough among a people dis- inclined to broils, in an hour, to keep sucha community at fever heat for a month. We are right glad that he has chosen Kansas for the field of his current exploits. As, by so do- ing, he is fast teaching the sober-minded, con- siderate and really patriotic men from the North that have gone into the Territory with some other view than that of making it an abolition pandemonium, the danger to all their real interests involved in submitting to the dictation of those who seek position and influence there only by ‘shrieking for free dom.”’ The Rust and Greeley A ffair.—The grand jury for this county adjourned finally on the day before yesterday. We have every reason to believe that they did not find an indictment against the Hon. Albert Rust, of Arkansas, on account of his fracas with the Hon. Horace Greeley, of New York, ex M. C. and editor of the Tribune. It is well known that Mr. G. himself took no part in bringing the affair to the notice of the local authorities of this Dis- triet. It has not been customary in this com- munity for the courts to notice “ little affairs’”’ of the sort, in which no bones are broken or sericus bodily damage done, unless the indi- vidual feeling aggrieved himself asks that it shall be done. Hence, we presume, the fail- ure of the grand jury to move in the case at the request of some stranger in this commu- nity not personally involved init. We think that Mr. Greeley exhibited excellent sense in refraining from asking the indietment of his assailant for an affair, which, we feel assured, never would have transpired but from the misapprehension of his reply when first ac- costed by Mr. Rust; which led the latter to believe, in the heat of the moment, that he ‘~Mr. Greeley) stood ready to settle all euch matters pretty much as they are apt to be settled throughout the Seuth. The Louisiana Democratic State Convon- tion —The New Orleans True Delta, (a Dem- ocratic paper,) of the 13th inst., contains an editorial descriptive of the action of the body to which we refer, which (amid much parti- zanship with reference to distinguished gen- tlemen who have been named in connection with the nomination of the Cincinnati Con- vention and other leading Democrats of the State, for which we confess to no relish,) em- braces facts that are not uninteresting to the Democratic public. There appears to be a misunderstanding as to what actually did oc- cur then and there. A telegraphic dispatch, published on the day after the convention closed its labors, it will be remembered, as- serted that the name of Hon. John Slidell was used ag tho head of the defeated ticket for delegates to the National Convention. Our neighbors of the Union and Sentinel, on Saturday, published a contrary statement from the Baton Rouge Advocate. The despatch we published having come from a private source in which we placed confidence, we felt mortified by having pub- lished what we on Saturday deemed to be erro. neous information in the premises. The True Delta, however, boars out the correctness of our despatch in its material points. _1t turns out that though nominated at the bead of the anti-Pierce ticket for delegates, the name of the Hon. Mr. Slidell was withdrawn before avote took place, and that the other ticket was elected. as we explained some time ago. The True Delta, in the article to which we refer, says: “Tne Peopcs in Fun ail before since Louisiana Mane Br portion of these United States was she so fully represented in her intelligence, her en- terprise, her solid interests her sober wis- dom, and her real intellectual strength in any litical assembly, as on Monday last, in the Demeaaise Convention which assembled at the capital of the State to appoint delegates to attend the National Convention at Cincin- natiinJunenext.”” * * * © * # “On the partial assembling of the members of the convention, some half hour before the lar time ited, a juggle was attempt- odiby the minority by which they flattered themselves they should secure the organiza- tion and control, for that purpose thrustin, Mr. W. W. Pugh, Speaker of the House of resentatives, into the chair, in a manner which drew from Lieut. Governor Mouton a scathing and justly provoked rebuke of that entleman én the assembling of the mem- ers in full force, Trasimond Landry was put in nomination for President of the convention by the friends of James Buchanan of Penn- sylvania, while the members opposed to the nomination of that citizen for President of these United States. nomi @ W. Mun- day, Senator of the State from East Felieiana. The latter was elected by an overwhelming majority. * *® This action must not be interpreted as conveying a disrespectful opin- ion of Mr. Buchanan, or a condemnation of his past history since he united his political fortunes with tho National Democratic party; on the contrary, many of the delegates who thus voted, entertain for him sentiments of the profoundest respect and esteem. * # # ‘When the Convention was organized and ready to egos to the regular business be- fore it, the election of four senatorial dele- ates for the State at large, to represent fouiiins in the Natio: ‘onvention, the Honorable B. B. Sim State Senator of Point Coupee, proposed the Honorable John Slidell as the first candidate, * * * a delegate broke the stillness by nominating Pierre Soule for the same proud position. “The name had scarcely been pronounced when a tumultuous cheer simultaneously burst forth from all sides, which made the very welkin ring, and completely rendered all else unintelligible and inaudible. On or- der being somewhat restored, the Hon. B. B. Simms asked permission to withdraw ths name of the Hon John Slidell. * * * * # ‘‘ The greatest harmony and decorum pre- vailed throughout the whole proceedings, and the only unusual indication observable among the delegates, was one to crush out every- thing like dictation, whether coming directly from the enemies of the administration, or from their creatures in office, who, with char- acteristic ingratitude, were doing all in their power against those friends of President Pierce, who from honest and disinterested admiration of his truly patriotic course, were fayorable to his re-nomination. “ The delegation elected to attond the Na- tional Convention is, in its controlling ele- ments, deserving of the fullest confidence of the people” * * * F * *# The Washington City Election Law.—We have repeatedly remarked that on the 4th of June last the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia decided that a foreign born citizen, if naturalized at any time prior to offering his vote, ts entitled to the suffrago right in this city, provided he has the other necessary qualifications. Qur talented, ingenuous and truthful neighbor has seen fit to deny this statement. Least there be some among the members of the House who are not aware what its remarkable regard for truth leads it to do at times in its statements of fancy for fact, we quote from the Star of June 7th last—as fol- lows : Now, wo bave procured from Mr. Fendall a copy of the decision as taken down by him as it wasdelivered, and as approved by the court, to whom it was referred for verification. It is in these words : “Pornts decided by the Crrcuit Court of the District of Columbia. June 4, 1855, on the patition of Thomas J. Gruen for a man- damus commanding the Register. of the Corporation to inscribe the petitioner's name on the taz list and returns: “1. That a foreigner naturalized since the 31st December last, who possesses the other ualifications required by the charter, 7s en- titled to vote at the present election. , “2 That an alien, who was a resident of the city of Washington previous to the 31st of December, 1854, was entitled to be enrolled on the school-tax list. “<3. That the tax lists, having passed out of the hands of the Register, he has no duty in regard to them to perform; that the tax lists are now in the hands of the commissioners of election, whose right and duty itis to re- ceive the votes of persons within the foregoing description and having the other qualifica- tions required by the charter. ** The mandamus is refused.”’ The mandamus was refused, as explained by the Court in our report popiaied on the day the case was decided, because at that stage of the business the list had passed out of the hands of the Rogister, against whom the mandamus was prayed, Soft —It is amusing to read the undis- guised efforts of quaai southern Know Nothing newspapers to coax the Hon. Lewis D. Camp- bell, of Ohio, into the Fillmore ranks. They are, however, throwing away their labor. Mr. Campbell entertains no more idea of support ing Fillmore and Donelson, than the man in the moon. He lost deal during the canvars for the Speakership, in professing somewhat moderated views upon the slavery question, and was awfully punished by Mr. Greeley for his contumacy in daring to think of setting up for himself against the judgement of Messrs. Giddings, Wade & Co, His policy at present ia to recover the ground he lost with the Abo. litionists of Ohio, during that contest. In his abuse of the Catholics in his speeches deliv- ered to tickle the fancy of the Know Nothings of Washington and Georgetown, he means nothing like touching Fillmore and Donelson with a forty foot pole. The Kansas Investigating Committee.— The appointment of Mr. Oliver, of Mo., on this committee is perfectly satisfactory to the friends of the Nebraska-Kansas bill in the House. Itis said that Mr. Dunn’s friends are awfully riled because the Speaker has over-élaughed him. Messrs.
