OO — SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union egain applies the scalpel to Mr. Speaker Banks, and in regard to the sugges- tion of Mr. Banks as to the substitution of a military despotiem for the present Constitu- fional Union, says: is « When properly understood, there is noth- ing new in Speaker Banks’s position ; it is Ya the legitimate aiid practical conclusion = duced from the well-known purpose o” Nie Black Republican organisation. cael 5 the object of every Fremont leader is tha North shall rule the South; and egies is boldly justified upon the eran ti Bouth, North is numerically stronger than Ie that and ought te govern upon the principle that the majority in a republic has a right to rule. It is by the perversion of this sound Demo- cratic maxim that Bleck Republicanism covers its warfare upon fifteen Southern States It commences by laying down principles whieh eannot be carried out without ruin to the Southetn States, and, therefore, effectually excludes al! those States from its organiza- tion. No Black Republican will deny that the object of his organization is to combine the public centiment of the sixteen free States, and secure a President, Congress, and jud Giary, which will administer the goverrment upon principles that are hostife to the institu- tions of the fifteen Southern States. That the constitution ever contemplated each an ad- ministration of the government, no one of can- dor will preterd. e suppose that Speaker Banks waseontempl: ing (he ultimate triamph of his party When b he could conceive of a time when this constitution will not be in existence. That time will have arrived when the Presidency, Congres, and the Supreme Court shall be filled by Black Republicans The Intelligencer, in declining (in answer to the request of a correspondent) to publish the Richmond speech of John M Botts on ac- count of its great length, adds: “Nor would any fragmentary extracts from the épeech do justice to theeonsecutive logic and distinctive traits of the distinguished speaker, with the general soundness of whose political views, as presented im this speech, we fully concur, as we have done on many former occasions, when, as it seemed to us, he brought no less of truth than of admitted bold- ness to the declaration and defence of his po- litical sentiments.

A Reformed Know Nothing.—At a political meeting held in Carroll county, Md., we see that one of the principal spexkers was an ex- Kapow Nothing by the name of Evans, (surely sot our own French 8. Evans!) who made a clean breast of his recent principles and prac- tices, and. in so doing, stated his belief that he was juetified in making an exposure of that organization by the example cet him by our forefathers—the men of the Revolution—who, after swearing an allegiance to King George IIf., found it necessary, by a series of acts ef oppression passed upon them, to prc- claim that they owed no further allegiance to bis Majesty, and hence dissolved the political bonds that associated them with his govern- ment. Forsix monthshe had met privately and in secret the Order of Know Nothings, the original design of which was that none but those who were members should know of the exietence of the Order; but, failing to effect that object by strength of numbers, the project was abandoned. He had read in the Pennsy/vanianand other kindred prints in polities, the rituals of the Order, which were correctly reported, and wherever ‘uch had been made public, to the evident shame and disgrace of the Order, it was found necessary to change or modify these rituals, or substitute pew ones in their stead. During his memberabip of the Order, he waa often suspected, interrogated, and set upon with a view to obtain a knowledge of his mem- bershi¢, or pursued with a view to ascertain the Order’s whereabouts, but from frequent disguises which he had to assume to escape the recognition of even his own offspring, he had deluded their detection. He was ashamed of himself, and he believed that the others who were associated with him were equally ashamed. He was taught to pervert tho English Ianguage—to lie to his neighbor and family when questioned upon the subject, Its principles he clearly saw, at last, were de- structive of the chief ends of government, and that everything done sought to deprive his neighbor, and perhaps his dearest friend, of equal political rights with himself. He could not, when a member. vote for bis own father, 80 binding was the obligation they had taken, unless he perjured himself. Ho regarded a true member as much a slave as that of the veriest slave of the blackest de- spots of Europe. He had no rights. They were virtually eworn away. To add to the ignominy of their acts, this same Order was opened wit prayer! Finally, he would venture to say that, ere ten years should roll round, every man who respected himself would be ashamed to aoc- knowledge that he had ever beena member of the Order. Such is Know Nothingism, as painted by a disciple! News !—A telegraphic dispatzh in the Bal timore pspers says: ‘‘The President will leave here (Washington) on Tuesday morning, for New Hampshire. His mounted guard will escort him from the White House,”’ ete. This is the first time we have heard that the President has a mounted guard! Fortunately, such a period in our history bas not yet arrived, and we trust never will como, The error in the announcement arises from the fact that there is a dragoon corps christened by them. selves “The President’s Mounted Guard,” and they have declined to change the bame, although Colonel Hickey, the commander of the regiment of the District of Columbia, long 2go suggested to them thé propriety of so doing. The President has no more to do with these Mounted Guards than he has with the German Yagers, or any other volunteor militia company. The name of “ The President's Mounted Guard” is merely complimentary to the Executive office. The only Guard ereated for the protection of a President is the « Auxiliary Guard.” It had its origin during the days of President Tyler, (who was insulted bya gang of inoon- tiderate persona for his political condust ) Senator Crittenden, as the debates will show, Pppored the orgenisation, looking upon it ag throw of our liberties! watch house. Greeley Gives It Up.—The Now York Tri- bune, of Sabarday, is despondent. It makes a survey of the political horizon, and tho re- sult is not satisfactory. Hear its joremiade : ow election of Fremont a fixed fact. diffuse the impression if we did. > understood that the assarances, we consider the States of Penn- lvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and fornia still doubtful. We may carry allof them by large majorities, but we may also lose enough of them to beat us in the contest. We consider our chance in the House, should the election go thither, of very little worth. We must succeed, if at all, by the votes of the erin we cannot count on a single slave tate; and wo must either carry Pennsylva- nia, or losing it. carry all the rest of tho free States. We strongly hope to carry Pennsyl- vania—we fcel sure it can be carried for Fre- mout—but, if we wero all to stop workin, now, and fall to shouting over our anticipate: vietory,-we should have no victory to husza over. This is the naked trath, and the trath is just what should be cet forth and r Should we lose Pennsylvania, we may possi- bly succeed without her; but that, like the eboice of Fremont by the House, is only chance If wecarry Pennsylvania, it is bar ly possible that we shall fail to carry States enough to gives us the victory.” Does not this look like a purpose on the part of the Tribune to let itself down easy in view of coming defeat? We took occasion lately to show from the filos of the Trisune prior to the Presidential elcction of 1342, that its politieal prophesies, however unreliabier were not characterized by timidity. The Zri- éune evidently sees that the pacification of Kansas has taken away its political capitals and that the Fremont bubble which went up like a rocket is now coming down like a stiok. Bogus Dispatches —The Southside (Va.) Democrat ot Saturday says: ‘‘ A dispatch wa® published in the morning papers yesterday, announcing that letters hal been received at Washington to the effect that the cause of Buchanan being hopeless in New York ; the Democrats intend to fuse with the Know Noth- ings and give the State to Fillmore.” And remarks: ‘‘ This was too big a bolus for an or- dinary throat to swajlow.’’ We would warn our friends throughout the country to be on the lookout for political dispatches, as, doubt- less, from now until the Presidential election, the newspapers opposed to the Democracy will teem with them. It is due to say, however, that the dispatch alluded to by the Southside Democrat, according to the result of our in- quiry, did not emanate from the agent of the Associated Press of this city, The President of the United States, in his letter of the sixteenth instant, to the officers and members of the New Hampshire Agricul- tural Society, (who say that they will bo happy te welcome him to the city of his resi- dence, and receive him as the guest of the Society,) remarks that ho expects “soon to become a farmer, and to devote the residue” of his “days mainly to agricultural pursuits within”’ the “comparatively hard and sterile, but neverthbeless’’ to him “ attractive and be- loved State.”’ The Editor of the Star was in Philadel- phia on Sunday, and left that city this morn- ing for Belfonte, Contre county, Pennsylvania, in continuation of his political movements, under the direction of the State Demccratic Committce.

The jewelry of all the mem- bers of the family was found near the chared remains, but not a dollar of gold or silver coin has been recovered, and there is every reason to believe that there was considerable in their possession. Young Cain, who escaped from the hotel, bat was so badly burned that he died soon afterwards, alleged that he sawa man in hisroom when he left it. The remains of the girls were found near those of the father, and it is inferred, from their peculiar position, that they were also murdered, This portion of the family could not have retired to their rooms, as the contents of their pockets, &c., were found near them.
