SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer says of aqueduct appro- priation in the Deficiency bill, with great foree and truth : iounah ‘The Secretary of the Interior, in obedi- ence to bis views of the public interest, yet with due regard to a propsr economy, recom- mended to Ccngress, at the opening of the session, various appropriations, most of them small, for public objects at the seat of govern. ment; poll pe the season had so far advanced for all out-of-door work, the Senate, to avoid delay, deemed it prudent to insert appropria- tions for most of these objects in the ‘defic bill; but the financial committee of the House, to which the Senate’s amendments were referred, has reported against them. Amongst them is the appropriation for con- tinuing the aqueduct for supplying the city with pure water. The opposition of the hon- orable committee to these appropriations, and oer the important one for the aqueduct, has filled our citizens with the deepest anxie- ty; and many of them have given vent to their feelings and to very cogent arguments, whieh they desire to address to the House through our columne, against the action of the committee. Had we room for all of these com- munications we could hardly presume them to be necessary to impart to the members of the House a correct understanding of the case The committee have probably reported against the appropriations for the same rea- fon that they were objected to by some of the most liberal gentlemen of the Senate, namely, that they were out of place in a bill simply to supply ‘‘ deficiencies ’’ in former appropria- tions. However correct in point of form this objection may have been, the Senate conclu- ded it best, instead of waiting to make pro- vision for the objects in the general appropria- tion bill, which will probably not be passed before Ai to save three or four of the best working months in the — by inserting the appropriations in the deficiency bill. As no one supposes that the House can think now of abandoning a work so important, indeed so necessary for Government and People, and of which so great a portion of its expense has been already incurred, and as the cost has, in whatever bill, to come out of the Treasury, there is good reason to hope that the honor- able House will view the subject in the same light that guided the course of the Senate, and consider that a wise economy will justify the little deviation from parliamentary form, if any really exist, of retaining in the bill the items which, on full consideration, the honor able Senate deemed that they consulted the public interest in placing ‘there. While, therefore, we beg our city friends to pardon the non-insertion of their communications, we take leave to assure them of our entire confi- dence that they will not find the House ot Representatives acting in the case either cap- tiously or illiberally.” The Union reviews the history of the Ne- braska bill under the heading of “‘ The Power of a Great Principle.” The editor shows, we think, that the reaction on the principle in- volved is complete in the popular mind. He also quotes Judge John MeLean, of Ohio, to show that that distinguished jurist has Ic ng held that Congress has no power whatever over slavery in the Territories. ——39.—.___ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssiP Our Considerate Neighbor.—Qur talenied, truthful and ingenuous neighbor is exceed- ingly concerned at our refusal to notice in any manner the allegations republished by himself on Thursday last, and affectionately insists that we shall permit him—so overflow- ing with kind regard for us, as we have every reason to know him to be—to dictate to us a line of conduct. We must of course thank him for his profuse professions of disinterest- ed solicitude in our behalf, which are so capi- tally in keeping with the degree of moral honesty he has manifested in the conduct of his journal towards all gentlemen with whom he differs politically, who, from highest to lowest, are usually represented by him to be monsters in their character. We have, how- ever, respectfully to inform him that we are not in the habit of noticing allegations pub- lished under circumstances euch as those were which he seized the opportunity to republish, accompanying them with the falsehood em- braced in his intimation that he did so through kind feeling towards us. To notice them in any manner would be playing the ancient dame almost sufficiently well to qualify us to conduct Azs paper. Upon the matter of the offer to sell the Organ to a Democrat, and the tender of the concern’s influence to secure the election of the Democratic nomince for House Printer, our ingenuovs neighbor should reggmber that all the world comprehend the full force of the maxim of the law, gut facit per alium, factt per se, (what one does by another, he does by himseif.—Ep ) Our talented, truthful, and ingenuous neighber bungles, stumbles and stutters out a sort of answer to our state- ment concerning the House printing affair, which leaves on the mind of the reader the irresistible impression that he has, so far, only told a portion of the story, in which he essays to justify the proposition to sell the votes of his nominal political friends in the House— without authority from them, of course—to secure the election of a Democratic party nominee to the office to which is attached all their printing patronage, on the ground that the $10,000 demanded for that particular con sideration, was wanted to continue the ex- istenee of an American party paper at this point Our disinterested neighbor of course did not think of himseif throughout this effort to sell; not he: for he never thinks of himself, and the great pecuniary sacrifices he has been making fer many years for his party, con- cerning which he published so many columns of amusing jeremiad previous to the election of a House printer, and subsequently, so many of bitter wailing and indiscriminate accusa- tion against all who aided to dash his hopes on that cecasion. Our neighbor, according to his baulky explanation, was willing to sell his party in that election, and to pocket the pro- ceeds of the sale; his shallow plea being the party's own good—a plea euch as is always essayed by just euch People under just such circumstances. Yet ie would do nothing that is not honorable—not he. Now, it etrikes us that the key to the fact that he failed to re. ceive a single vote after a year and a half of hard begging for them—after playing in his columns ultra anti-Abolitionist until he found that no southern member was so lost to self- respect as to Le willing to vote for him, snd then playing the rabid anti-southern man until the Free Soilers he thus aimed to con- ciliate, Jet him kuow that they would not touch any such “pig” yesterday and “puppy” to-day & forty-foot pole—that the key, we write to the treatment he received at the hands of every gentleman in Congress, of hi® party, is that every man of them appreciated his honor precisely at the value h2~ himself sets upon it. Knowing what he considered hon. orable conduct on his part, as per his confes- fession on Saturday last, they very prudently declined trusting him. If he will calmly read over his attempt to justify his complicity with the effort to sell his party on the House printing question, if his common sense has not all gone he will perceive in it ample reason why we have lit- tle faith indeed in his advice where a ques- tion of honor may be concerned. He should not expect us to set a higher estimate upon his views of honor, than his own, or that of his party in Congress. Shocking.—The New York Trijune mourns lugubriously over the conservative tendencies of the times on both sides of the Atlantic. While people of property in Europe are com- bining to crush out every spark of the radical fire that raged there in 1848, according to this editor, the tendency of the popular mind in the United States is decidedly against what he regards as ‘“‘progress.’’ He quotes, to sus: tain this position, popular demonstrations in the Old World approbatory of the measures of the governments to prevent, in this age, the spread of the mania for revolution that star- tled the world in 1848; or; rather, especially the recurrence of what were the results of that general prevalence of liberalism in the sense in which the Tribune applies the term. He also quotes recent action by United States’ Legislatures and verdicts at the polls to sus- tain his position that the tendency of times in this country is decided conservative. In this he is certainly correct. Our own coun- trymen, nearly to a man, sympathized with the European revolutionists in 1849. Subse- quently, on coming to know them better, prin_ cipally through the publications of their Amer- ican organ, the Tribune itself, that sympathy has well nigh vanished. Were such another series of attempts to revolutionize Europe to commence to oc2ur to-morrow, it is very cer- tain that not a tithe of the American sympa thy with them that was so lately manifested would be shown So far as its wailing over the decline of its “cause of progress’’ in the United States is concerned, we have to say that it may credit that to the repulsive features of its cause as illustrated not only in its own ultraisms, but in the palpable truth that wherever those sympathizing with it have of late temporarily obtained pow er under any pretence whatever they have manifested a disposition to cast aside all experience, al] moral and legal obli- gation, all common sense and all respect for the rights of any, which may stand in the way of the instant accomplishment of their purposes usually springing from the brains of vision- ary and merely impudent demagogues, and ignorant dreamers concerning the science of government. The reeent speech of Mr. (iranger, in the House of Representatives—a fair specimen indeed, of the utter ignorance of law and history, cotemporaneous and of by gone days, that marks the minds of many of those who have managed to get into American public life on the hobbies of the ‘'rébune—atfords a striking illustration of the reason why the good senge and sound patriotism of the coun- try iz at length being awakened to the im- portance of putting a stop to what the New York journal considers progress. The Albany and Porpoise.—The bill fixing the date from which the pensions to the wid- ows and orphans of the officers, seamen and marines lost in the two United States vessels named above, commences—that passed by the Senate last week, fixes, for those of the Alba- ny, at the 18th of April, 1855, and of the Por- poise, at the 29th of June, of the same year The beneficiaries under this bill owe a debt of gratitude to Senator Fish, under whose auspices the Senate acted favorably upon it so very promptly. Q Persons interested under this bill, should apply to the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. Showing the Cloven Foot.—Few journals make louder professions of devotion to the constitutional rights of the South, than the New York Lxpress. Its paragraphs con- demnatory of the labors and aims of Aboli- tionism are more quoted by the Know Noth- ing papers of the South, than those of any other journal printed north of Mason and Dixon’s line; all of which are by some he- cus pocus sought to be attributed, as so much political capital, to account of Mr. Fill more; the Express being the recognized organ of that gentleman’s personal party in New York city. It is equally as proper that his cause shall bear the responsibility attached to the course of the Express with reference to the Connecticut election, in progress to- day. ‘bat journal is urging its party to vote for Abolitionists, wherever that policy may be necessary to secure the defeat of candi- dates who stand by the Nebraska bill, because the latter occupy that position. There cin be no mistaking its advice on this subject, as the reader will perceive from the following brief extracts from its iasue of Friday last : «The real, practical meaning of the elec- tion in Connecticut is, whether or not, the United States Senator Toucey shall be ro- elected to represent Connecticut for six years more ;—and such being the issue, none of us, in the North, who resisted the annulment of the Missouri compact, can be indifferent to the election.’’ * * * * * * “The Express not only hasa great many readers in Connecticut, but among men here, and elsewhere, who from business associations, naturally exercise there a large influence over the Conservative Public mind. Knowing as these readers well do,—that mere sectronalisin is, in our opinion, the worst aud most danger- ous political ism of the day,—they may be surprised, perhaps, to hear us talk thus. * <_< *¢ * * #8 @ ‘*We may be told, however,—that if we conservative men thus shuffle off Toucey, we may shuiile on some Black Republican in his stead. Well,—if this is so,—we should only exchange one very bad slavery agitation man for another.’ * * * * * * ‘Tt is just as well for us Northern conserva- tive menthen tohave in Congress Anti-Slave: agitation, as Pro-Slavery pegitatioa, thoug what is really wanted, is a safe, sound, consti- tutional man of the school of Koger Sherman, the great shoemaker, and of Oliver Kllsworth, eminent man of the olden time. We hope to see Connecticut exchange off Toucey for some sound, sensible American, who, however anti slavery he may be, will live up to his oath, to support the Constitution, in principle, in sub- stance, and in spirit—with its Inevitable com- eam snd concessions,—such as have ever n made from the day the Constitution was formed—when Koger man, in Philadel- hb n 1786, led off inthe North, to make em, and James Madison led off in the South. Hence, our conclusion is,—that no Con- we ucut man should hesitate “to pitch into” Election, in order to oust Toucey,—and the ere esgrvative he is, the more he should pists cohracs’ M864 Honey bak come , cont 3, a rT made in 1820, and in 1850.5 2» Solemnly Senator Toncey possesses the © onfidence, esteem, and gratitude of every really patriotic Southern Know Nothing, because he did that for which this chief organ of the immediate coterie of~Mr. Fillmore urges its party in Connecticut to do their dest to elect an aboli- tionist im his stead, if that be necessary to compass his defeat. There is food for reflection on the part of the Fillmoreites of the South in these brief extracts from the Ezpress—ample food for serious reflection, indeed. Senator Seward.—It was expected this morning that Mr Seward—Mr. Geyer giving way for the time being—would commence his speech on the Kansas question. If he does so, he will occupy the attention of the Senate until a late hour, if not through to-morrow’s session also. His reputation as a reasoner and investigator will, of course, draw an im- mense crowd to the Senate ehamber. Mr. Geyer’s deserved oratorical fame will also insure a very large audience of the tal- ent, distinction and fashion of the federal metropolis to the Senate chamber whenever he may deliver his expected speech. There is a Complete Union between the three opposition parties running guberna- torial candidates in the Connecticut election that takes place to-day—that is, forcandidates for the Legislature, who are probably to elect the Governor and Lieutenant Governor even- tually. In nearly every town in the State, the Whigs, Know Nothings, and Republicars have combined on the same Legislative can- didates. Under such circumstances, we con- fess that we shall be surprised, indeed, if they fail, thus united, to beat the Democrats. Business of the General Land Office.— There wereeleven hundred and eight letters received and registered at the Gereral Land Office during the week ending Saturday, the 5th instant; being the largest number ever re- ceived by that office in any one week. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On Saturday, 5th of April, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $8,231 92 Forthe Treasury Department... 23,551 71 For the Interior Department. 8,340 26 For Customs. 131,803 14 War repay warrants received and entered. .cersccseseeees. +s 68,725 35 From miscellaneous sources. . 613 90 Funded, per act 28th January, BAT a cccescccccccccccsccccece 100 00 CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS, In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Cass presented & petition from the self-styled Legislature of Kansas, and moved that it be printed. On this motion a debate ensued, in which Messrs Butler and Bayard opposed it, and Mr. Cass advocated it, until the hour for taking up the special order arrived, when it was laid aside. The House bounty land bill—the special order for half-past 12—was then taken up, and Mr. Foot was engaged in advocating it as we went to press. In the House, Mr. Ball moved to suspend the rules to enable him to introduce a resolu- tion according to the Committee on the Public Buildings and Public Grounds a clerk, et four dollars per diem, as long as they may deem the services of one necessary ; rules not sus- pended. Mr. Phelps moved to go into Committee of the whole; after previously moving a resolu- tion to close the general debate on the defi- ciency bill at 3 p. m., which was laid on the table. Mr. Maco presented a memorial (embracing a State Constitution) from the self-styled State Legislature of Kansas; referred to the Terri- tories Committee. Mr. M. moved a resolution to print 10,000 extra copies of this memorial and accompany- ing papers; referred to the Elections Com- mittee Mr. Brigham reported from the Elections Committee a resolution declaring Mr. Mar- shall of Illinois entitled to his present seat in the House, which had been contested. Also, another declaring that the contestant is not entitled to the seat in the House to which Mr. Senator Trumbull was elected. These resolutions embraced clauses according mileage and per diem to the contestants in both these cases. Mr. McMullen addressed the House again:t the practice of paying contestants for scats in the House indiscriminately. Letrer rrou Dr. Saver.—We aro glad to learn from the following letter that our fair friend has reached her home in safety, and that her trip thither was so satisfactory. We hope, also, that her Washington visit afforded pleasing remembrances enough to her to in- duce a speedy repetition: Pixe Cort, April 3, 1856. Editor of the Star: You said 1 must drop you a note occasionally in my wanderings ; and this is the first moment of time I could call my own to give another. Home again for a few short days; and what acontrast to my Southern life. No bustle, strife or tur- movil ; no alarums to awaken me from the quict of dream-land; nought save the quiet of a most retired country home, among the snow banks and neighboring mud-ruts, shuttirg one within doors with mock defiance as the warm sun woos us lovingly to come forth and Inxuriate beneath its smiling face Spring kisses with her warm breath the huge snow banks, which melt softly before her ardent gaze, suffusing the earth with torrents of tears, and wearing deep furrows into its aged, though icy cheeks. You are, doubtless, luxuriating amidst the spring breezes, mellowing your soil for the maling plowshare, while we are jegging through the snow banks, miring in the mud, or tipping in the gutter. Yet this is a lovely spot when nature smiles her sweet- est, which she will soon, throwing off her sombro dress, step forth in purer, greener, fresher robes. Lhad adelightful triphome. Wherever I stopped I met such kind, noble friends, not afraid to recognize my individuality lest they should caruh theirown. In Baltimore, my reception was most kindly by the press, while it did me good to talk before such an enthu- siastic audience. The hall was very large, causing the number to seem lesz than there really were present, as there were several hundred out each evening, nearly double the second night, which was encouraging. I was strongly u to repeat one of my lectures, but time called me onward I also received a pleasant complimentary ticket from the com- mittee of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion to attend their festival. { met akind re- ception from several old and some new friends in Philadelphia, egaeraeid the gallant, noble- hearted Col.

In about two weeks more arrangements necer- sary for the reception of the black diamonds will have been completed. The work at the dock of Mr. Ray & Co. is also progressing finely. This yard will be ready by the close of Spring, if not before. Our mechanics are beginning to make a move. We notice several buildings (small size) in course of ereetion. The frame work of the Episcopal Mission Church and school room has been raised. This building is situ- ated on Brick-Kiln Hill, and will, when com- pleted, add greatly to the appearance of this section of ourcity. Mr. Wingate is the builder. Business upon our canal this morning pre- sents quite an encouraging appearance.
