SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Uniox replies to the recent articles in the New York Courier designed to commence BQnew, £0 200n, the crusade against the politi- eal rights of Catholica. The editor holds that s0 long as the Democratic party alone stands by the civil rights of the members of all churches, so long may it be expected that the Cstholics will stand by the Democratic party as the only defender of their rights which are alone assailed The Intelligencer discusses the current Nea- politan question with perspicacity and ability. The editor argues that France and England bave no legal right to interfere between the Government of Naples and its people on the ground of the oppression of the former; and points out with force the dangerous conse- quences of interpolating any such doctrine in international law. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSS#P. Thanksgiving Day.—A correspondent writes us as follows : Mr. Edstor: As the best of editors are liable to place wrong constructions on fa miliar events, be pleased to allow us space to make what we conceive to be some corrections an the sentiments of your thanksgiving edito- rial. Having examined history to a fuir ex- tent, we are confident that it cannot be shown that (1) “the day was originally designed (nor is it pow) as a rebuke to those who ad- here to the propriety of observing the anni- versary of the birth of Christ.’’ Far other- wise. For, all accounts agree that theday was firat observed by the Pilgrims in the autumn of 1622, in obedience to a spontaneous desire to offer up thanks to the Supreme Ruler fur a favorable harvest after an almost certain and destructive famine. Holmes, in his ‘‘ Ameri- ean Annals,’’ and corroborated by other his- tory, gives the particulars of this event, which are truly touehing to peruse. Then, there were no Catholics ia that section. So that the day came in from the pure offering of the heart Besides there is every reason to be- lieve that Thanksgiving has been steadily kept up from that time ; yet, cight years after (1630) Governor Winthrop arrived with his fleet, and such was the joy on this acquisition that anew impetus was given tothe day, which continued till the Independence of the Colonies, when, as may be well supposed, a crowning joy was given to the whole. (ieneral Washington, (2) wo, evidently beesame imbued with the im- portance of the dsy, as be united in it, and wrote the genera) Proclamation after our In- dependence which is a model of its kind. We gee, therefore, that the day arose from very different motives than those you intimate. Gratitude and thankfulnesz, under all their trials and sufferings, was evidently the pro- curing cause of the observanee of the day. (3) From this examination, I come to the conc! usion that it is best to encourage Thanks- givings 28 peculiarly befitting, and as an aux- iliary to the perpetuity of our country and its fostitutions. ‘Ve cannot well pags it, (like to our “Glorious Fourth’’) without recounting our privileges, both in tie press and pulpit, and this is needful. It is oue of the channels to keep in mind how greatly blest we are (4) Nor do I conceive that it does or can conflict with Christmas. That is properly a religious festival, alike applicable to monarchical gov- ernments ss republican—the one appertain- ing to our future welfare, while the other is American and pertains to our present welfare Besides, it is certain that in the New England States, the Catholics, Episcopalians and Uni- versaliste have for the last one hundred years observed Christmas az heartily as Thankegiv- ing, and we (5) think all denominations will do #© soon (6) It would, indeed, be regretted to have ong day a8 Southern, and another as North- ern; but rather every section of our country should wite, a3 one, onevery ‘“‘holiday,’’ like we doon ‘be “Fourth of July;’’ hence we think that 6th days should be encouraged and observed. oO. Norgs.—(1.) The observance of the day was the origina! conception of meu whose religion consisted in great part of intenze hatred of most time-honored religious customs, arising from their dislike to the churebes practising such customs. Uf men who, seeking to change many things regarded as venerable and valua- ble in church practices, abundoned the ob- servance of Christmas day, as being une of the idolatreus customs of the churches of England and Rowe. Of wen who kept, in its stead, Thaokegiving day. We doubt not thet it was origivally kept by sincere christians as at present by such persone, in a spirit of due thankfulness to Providence (for in their wrathy religion they were thankful,) while we ques tion the wisdom of its substitution for that «f the observance of the received anniversary of She birth of the Saviocr of Bien. Gradually, the same class of religionists in New England have been inventing (among themeelves, more popular christian doctrines and practices than those banded down to us from the days of the Aposties, until their christianity bas become in some localities Millerism, in others Zpirit- uaslism, in others Women’s Rightsism, and in others again, us in the pulpit of Theodore Par Ker, unadulterated Skepticism; all euch doe- trines being preached, as Thaokegiving day is kept in the land of ite birth, a: being vio yery quintesserce of true elristianity boiied down to precisely the right point of refinement. (2.) Because General Washington wisely asked bis countrymen to join ou a partisylar cccasicn in giving due thanics to the Giver o: all Good fur the successful termination of the American Hevolution, it by no means follows that, were he alive now, he would upprove of the result of keepiag Thankegiving day where it has been kept for any considerable length of time. Viz: in gradually indisposing the popular miod to keep the Christa:as fe-tival of ebristianity, os it was kept every wheve in th's country cut cf New England inbistime No ene thought more cf the obligation of the due observance of Christmas thae did George Washington. Nor was there ever an Ameri- ean more sternly opposed on principle to sueb fnnovatione as Thanksgiving day bas become since Le left this world for a betier one (3.) [f Thanksgiving day was really what our correspondent believes it to be—that is, in the land where its observance is now univer- aal—we chould be loth indeed to pen aught ageinet it. Cafortunately, however, such is not the case. itis there popuiarly seized on aa the occasion for preaching death and dam- nation to the people of the South—for stump speeches in the pulpit about -‘ bleeding Kan- sas,” and for extolling and strengthening all euch New England ims, as are fast (in their alarming growth of sate years) increasing the causes of sectional irritation, and rendering it weil nigh imposeilie fur the aaveholding scc- flow of the Luion to maintaip ber gyarantied rights under the government ss at present constitued. (4) If Thanksgiving day has any value what- ever, it is as a religious festival. As @ mere Occasion for over-eating and undue drinking, itis worse than useless. Whether our cor- respondent does or does not eonceive thatit can conflict with the due observance of Chriat- mas day, euch is the fact. For, where, asin thousands of churches in New England, it is made the occasion of sermons laudatory of New England politics and isms of all kinds and denunciatory of every thing south of Mason’s and Dixon's line, there (in such churebee) Christmas day is passed over with far less concern than the anniversary ot the rendition of Anthony Burns to his lawfa! owner, or that of the abolition of slavery in Jamaica. (5.) The evident fact that as the observance of Thanksgiving day increases in @ section of the Union, that of Christmas day diminishes, forms no good reason for concluding that where the former is encouraged, the observance of the latter will soon again become prevalent. (6.) We join our correspondent in regretting that we “ have one day as Southern and ano- thor as Northern; but respectfully point him tothe tone and temper of Northern pulpits towards the South, and suggest whether, since the Government was founded, Southern pulpits ever resounded with such sectional tirades as disgrace those of the North? We suggeet further, whether he takes the people of the South for stocks, stones or horned cat- tle, that he imagines they regard themselves under obligations either of patriotism or reli- gion such as wil! induce them to encourage in their midst the observance of a New England custom which, there, has become simply the oceasion for the utterance of pulpit slunders, falsehoods and denunciations against the South, and for offering up concerted prayers for the rendition of every slaveholder in the land over to the pains and penalties cf eternal damnation, in which seme of the folks in New England continue to believe. That ir, 80 far as they may be applicable to the case of those who practice the (to them) mortal sin (if legal custom) of holding negroes in bon lage. Direct Trade.—The proposition of Dudley Mann, Esq., for the establishment of a line of steamers between some point on the waters of the Chesapeake, and Europe, (England,) is at- tracting great attention at the South—more tian we ever before saw given to that subject. It is to be hoped that it will end in something more than newspaper speculation. The re- cent and progressing construction of railroads in North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, all debouching upon the Chesapeake or its tributaries, is destined greatly to increase the quantity of produce seeking an outlet in this immediate direction, and to increase corres- pondingly the coastwise traffic or the direct shipments to Europe. The coasters are, in a great measure, little more in effect than light- evs between Southern plantations and perts, and New York and other Northern cities. We cannot perceive why it is cheaper to lighter produce from York river to New York, to be loaded there for Europe, than to load it from lighters in Virginia waters. Our hope is, that with the completion of the connection between the extension of the Orange and Alexandria railroad and the Tennessee roads, and that of the York River road, Southern capital and enterprise will be found in combination suffi- cient to sustain a line of screw steamers of or-. dinary tonnage, running from the Chesapeake direct to Europe. If the inquiry and interest generated by the current publieations con- cerning Mr: Mann’s project end in the estab- lishment of such a line, much good will re- sult from bis present labors. Really, we see no more reason for lightering produce from the Chesapeake to New York, to be there shipped to Europe, than for carrying Virginia ship timber to Maine, to be there worked up into vessele to be employed in the transporta- tion of Virginia produce oceanwise, when equally as good vessels can now be constructed in the docks of Portsmouth, Virginia. Roorbacks.—The New_York Republican papers are full of stories representing consul- tations at Wheatland that have not taken piace. Une account says that Mesers. Bu- chanan, Case, Bright and Wise were in coun- cil there on Tuesday last i There is no truth in this story. Another account says that Messrs. Douglas. Slidell, Wise and Buchanan were the parties then and there settling the programme of the new administration. This last story ende with a description of a grand quarrel and flare up in which Messra Wise Douglas and Slidell are represented to have left Wheatiand ic bigh dudgeon Of course there is not § word of truth in it. Mr. Slidell has not been to Wheatland since the election, we bear. As for Mr Douglas, he eame straight from IIlinois to this city, where he had an Siair ou band—bappily consumated on Thursday iast—of much greater importance to his own future than cabinet-making or aught else conceivable. He is far too gallant a gentlemas to have devoted a moment to any thing but his own vuziness of so great impor- tance, since he reached Waehington on Satur- dey night last. The truth is, such stories as those & which we refer above are nearly all manufactured for want of something true as well as startling. Hoaxed Him.—‘ Wasuineton, Now. 18 — Some of the private arrangements of the late canvass have been revealed here since the election. Seven clerks have been turned out and Know Nothings have been put into their pisces.’’—Courter and Enqutrer. Some ope has run a very deep-set saw upon the Cowurter's Washington correspondent. Who are the seven removed clerks, and who the Know Nothings appointed in their stead? No one kere knows aught concerning them. Our friend of the {"ourser must have got this item out of the book from which Speaker Banks culled the remarkable statistics of his never-to-be-forgotten Wall street speech—the Kaggls-ed speech. The Webash ~¢ United States steam frigate is now ready for sen. She will eail for Aspiowall with the new crew and cowpiement of officers (jr the St. Mary’s, and are all on board of her. ‘fuig will probably be early next week.

He was born in 1797, and was a pupil of the celebrated Gros. Sev- eral of his works have been geen in this coun- try, and one of them—Napoleon crossing the Alps—is owned by 2 gentleman of New York city. His power was conspicuous in the rep- resentation of intense emotion, as in his Na- poleon at Fontainebleau; Cromwell contem- plating the oorpse of Charles I.; the Death of Queen Elizabeth, and Marie Antoinette leav- ing the Revolutionary tribunal. THE FOREIGN NEWS. The royal mail steamship Niagara, Capt. Ryrie, from Liverpool on the afternovn of Sat- urday, Nov. 8, arrived at Halifax onthe 20:b. There is little important news by this ai- rival. Additional symptoms had manifested them- selves of a close union between France, Russia and Prussia. It would appear that France supports the unconditional admission of Rus- sia and Prussia to the second meeting of tho European Conference, while England is said to oppose the admission of the former and Austria of the latter. Treaties of commerce between Russia ard France, and railway treaties between Russia and Prussia, were in preparation. Neapolitan affairs continued without change Thcre had nothing of interest been received from Spain The breach between France and England grows wider day by day, and the policy be- tween the former power and Russia, on the leading questions of the time, is now believed to be united in opposition to that of England and Austria. The more immediate cause that threatens to disturb the Western Alliance is the opposition made by Eagland to the ad- mission of Russia to the second meeting of the Conferences—an opposition which finds no favor with the Emperor of the French, and is consequently rebuked in bitter terms by the Paris press. The attitude of England towards Russia, at the present time, is one of the most marked hostility. While the Ministerial and other papers are accusing her of violating her treaty stipulations, we Gnd Lord Palmerston himself, in a speech at Manchester, indorsing these accusations, and stating that peace is depending on the faithfulness with which the conditions of the Treaty of Paris are fulfilled. Lord Palmerston, in answer to an address presented him by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, has also alluded to the settlement of the difficulties with this country. The Emperor of the French was still at Com- piegne keeping up festivities in a style worthy of the old regime. With his recreations, how- ever, the Parisians seem to be displeased, and resort to their ascustomed practice of placard- ing their grievances upon the walls.

This improvement for Sets of Teeth consists chiefly in making an upper or lowerset of butone piece of materiai—teeth and plate all selid, and of the same substance. No metal of any kind is ured in constructing teeth in this way, conse- quently they are fectly free from all galvanic action and metallic taste Being all of one solid ple e of mineral, there are no joints to becone filled with moisture or icles of food, bence they are absolutely pure and clean, and will al- ways continue so ‘ney are also lighter, stronger, less ol and more natural in their appearan:e then teeth constructed in other methods.
