SPIRIT OF THE MORNING@'PRESS. The Union further shows up the proposed platform of revived Whig issues, and argues that the whole pith and marrow of the pro- gramme of this resurrection of defunct federal- ism is nothing more nor less than a direct ap- peal to the pocket. Says the Union: “It offers a bribe to capitalists who wish a rofitable investment of their ; it offersa be te manufacturers by holding out a prospect of heaping up wealth at the expense of other classes of the community; it offers a bribe toevery little local section by the prospect of sharing jn the ‘equal and judicious system of internal im- rovements’’ pro; 3 and it offers a bribe to he States by bE Seg te distribution of the pro- ceeds of the public lands.”* The Union cautions its Democratic cotempo- raries against the insidious efforts of the Intel- digencer to promote dissension in the Demo- cratic ranks upon the Kansas question. The Intellegencer takes for its editorial text to-day “‘ The State Banks and their issues.” Tur Minwgat Baxx.—The Cumberland Tele- graph says the assets of (his bank will pay alto- gether about 75 cts on the dollar. shovel ime Waasebciesae eFC) i ak (7 Thavksgiving Day was generally observed throughout the country, and from all directions we have the intelligence that the occasion was one of quiet, satisfactory, and in a good degree of religious celebration 7 It is stated that the Liverpool and Phila- delphiaand New York Steamsbip Company and the Glasgow and New York Company will, in view of the hard times, withdraw one-half ofthe mumber of vesseis under their control. i> The phase of crime in Boston has taken the form of burglaries.

From that point to New York but lit- tle has fallen. The winter has set in at the ‘West inearnest.

The steamboats running up to the last names place were compelled to lay up on ac- count of the ice in the river. There is, of course, no obstruction to travel at the railroad crossing at Havre de Grace, the ice being generally above that point. ee OP The sixth day of the Virginia Annual Con- ference, now in session at Elizabeth City,N.C., ‘was occupied in arguing and deciding certain egal questions involved in the case of the Rev Chas. A. Davis, who is charged with improper condvet in Portsmouth. Mr. Vavis is now at- tached tothe Navy as chaplain, and on a cruise in the frigate Merrimac. The Chair decided that ‘Under the circumstances by which the case is warrounded, it cannot be brought to trial in his absence. Ee En Ciosinc or tue Canats.—Navigation is en- tirely closed on the canals. The sudden change in the weather to almost extreme cold has had the effect to freeze over nearly the whole extent between Albany and Buffalo, and unless the ‘weather should greatly moderate, the hopes en- tertained of being able to forward produce be- tween Rochester and Albany for two weeks long- er will bedefeated. A large number of boatsare detained in Cayuga Marsh and elsewhere be- tween Lyons and Buffalo. The only two years on record to which navigation closed as early as the 25th of November was 1938 and 185. In 1207 it closed on the 27th of November, but afterward reopened and remained open until the 25th of De- cember. ———__ U7 Bishop Potter has addressed a pastoral let ter to strangers arriving here from foreign coun- tries, and to the dispersed members of the Epis- copal Church in the diocese of New York, forthe Purpose of informing them where and under ‘What circumstances their wants can be satisfied In view of the fact that many Episcopalians are scattered throuzhout the State in places remote from the regular ministrations of the church, he recommends that sueh persons should send in- formation to the nearest clergyman of the Protest- ant Episcopal Church as to the place of their resi- dence, the number and state of their families, &c , so that arangements may be made by which theycan occasionally have the communion ad- ministered to them, their children bapttzed, and the services of the church performed, either at home or at the church where the clergyman offi- clates, or may receive visits from him PERSONAL. ---- Hon.

Gwin, is already preparing bring ward at the comme at of the session. These measures all aim to ségtre needful legis- lation for the region of the Confederacy whose interests are under Senater G.’s care. Among them is one to establish the necessary territo- rial government for the ‘‘ Gadsden purchase,” which is not long hence destined to become the most important portion of the territory under the Government of the United States not yet included under a State govarnment. The re- ports of army operations in that immediate re- gion we havo published since the end of last session, have embraced faets’ concerning that terra ineognita (as it was almost up to that time.) which in the proof they embrace show- ing it.to be the very Eden of the North Amer- ican Continent; have astounded the country, as it were. Its mining facilities and advantages have long been known, by tradition, to be near- ly, if not quite, equally valuable with those of California. The success of the efforts to open a safe and prompt overland route to California through that range of country having so soon been complete, itis very certain that emigrants will pourinto it on the opening of the next season. A territorial government must there- fore be promptly established for it ez necessi- tate. Owing principally to the political exigencies that brought California into the Union without having passed through the usual transition Territorial stage, the mines and land titles of that State were not systematized under our laws, as they should have been. As astonish- ing as the progress of California has been, had our laws duly secured to the honest and enter- prising settlers their property in a reasonable amount of land, agricultural or mining, above and beyond the claims under Mexican grants that had laid dormant—had been practically abandoned—for from ten years previous to the annexation to a full century, her (California's) progress would have been far more astonishing. We cannot doubt that Congress would have passed the necessary legislation in California's ease, but for the disabilities and embarrass- ments with which their early legislation for her was hampered, as explained above. In the ease of the Gadsden purchase the case is entirely different. Congress may easily begin @ system of laws for it ab fnitio; for it is even yet almost entirely uninhabited, except by hos- tile savages. The Government purchased ju- risdiction over it from Mexico, and has since been literally forced to conquer it from the Apaches and other hostile tribes who have been its actual possessors for a time longer than the memory of generations runneth back. Never- theless, we have reason to believe that Spanish claims (as in the case of California) will be brought forward sufficient to cover nearly every foot of the territory worth having, all of which granted in the last half century have never been attempted to be enforced by the grantees; and those of prior date having japsed”’ long since, through the fact that the original rights of the grantees went “ the way of all flesh’’ when the territory was conquered from Old Spain by the savage aborigines. The idea of respecting such claims and titles, isearrying the joke much too far. If regarded by Congress, the result must be eventually to make the hardy and enterprising sett!ers who will go there to mine and cultivate the soil, but hewers of wood and drawers of water to manufacturers and speculators in antique and other Spanish grants. There may be excep- tions to this general rule, but their existence will only prove more clearly that such does prevail in connection with the affairs of Ari- zona, as all the world knows it has existed in a greater or less degrée in connection with the affairs of Calitornia. But the public may safely entrust Senator Gwin with the arrangement of the details of the important bills which will be necessary to insure that that Eden of the North American continent will hereafter be made the most of possible for the benefit of the whole Union, whose property itis, emphatically, if ever ter- ritory was the common property of a whole ni tion. Rerorwers.—The late condition of finan- cial affairs has had one good result, if no other. That is in the matter of operating like buckets of ice water thrown on the ‘‘new light’’ labor- ers of the day—the men and women with pa- tent schemes for doing everything for every- body in the shortest possible time, and at less than half price, nine-tenths of whom base their efforts to craze the popular mind upon the the- ory that the received doctrines of christianity are little more than mistaken dreams of old fogies, and essay to carry out that theory upon the idea of man’s perfectibility; the more a man becomes the worshipper of his own pas- tions, idiosyncracies and prejudices, the nearer the state of entire perfectness they credit him with having become. We have repeatedly explained that the slave- holding States are not cursed with the presence and exertions in their limits of such pseudo re- formers or philanthropists, because the genius and temper of the mass of their population, and consequently their institutions, do not encour- age such persons to labor among them. Their (the South’s) entire exemption from the nui- sances and annoyances of Millerism, Mormon- ism, Abolitionism, and all the reat of the brood of isms which keep various Northern commu- nities in perpetual hot water, producing moral and other mischief without limit, which is real- ized by hundreds of thousands in regions so afliicted, should prove sufficient to teach the latter the utter humbuggery of the so fashion- able crusade against the institution of slavery as it exists in this country. But we have yet to hear or read of the first case in this or any other country wherein “ re- formers’? after the fashion of the hour among us ever benefitted society, though they have spouted, fretted, and sweated for centuries. The Journal of Commerce, in a late article, to hold their peculiarities rendering them worse than useless up to public view, explains with 40 great force why they universally fail—doing more harm than good to society, that we quote its article entire—as follows: Revonwers.—No quality is more conspicuous in the pseudo-reformers of every age, than that of self-conceit. Ignorance has in been a prom- inent feature in their conceptions, but even thix inte apology cannot be pleaded for all of the tribe vid Hume, for example, was a man of genius and acquirements, but that his mind was swollen with self-conceit, ix proved by various facts tn his history, as for instance by tbe style in which he announced to the world ule sublime discovery in moral science,that was to overthrow one of the principal pillars on which the Chris- tian system rests—imiracies. These are his words: “TE flatter myself that I have dixcovered an argu. ment which, if jast, will with the wise and learn- ed be au everlasting check to all kinds of super. stitious delusion, and consequently will be use. ful as long as the world endures ‘or 80 lony, I ame, will the accounts of mirecles and pro- digies be fouud in all bistory, sucred and pro- fane."’ Does the history of presuinption and self- conceit farnish a more flagrant example? From Campbell dowa to our own eloquent Everett, bas this daring folly beew rebuked and overthrown, in a manuer worthy of isumortal truth und divine philosophy. Tom Paine was a different sort of reformer, who supplied his lack of argument with a tor- Tent of balay as vile as his owe al hab- its. He boasted of his‘ Aye of Reason,”’ while Pouring out the most contemptible rant. He de- clared with infinite self-conceit and implety, that his single arm should eradicate the system which it took twe: posties to establish. He would wield the a truth that should cut down all the trees in Paradise! Behold the result! A Scotch philosopher of recent dute—Robert Owen —published to the world a string of dull itions, which one could scarcely read without falling asleep, the object ‘of which was-to enlighten men in the doctrines of a new reformation on principles of pace reseed He administered his anodynes in form of lectures in 1825 to dozing congrega- tions in the Hall of Representatives at Wasbing- ton. success in this free’) Re; go Bs the reicmer a0 his doctrines ha mors down beneath Lethe’s stream. since a s mers without the Bible ha’ since our shores. have risen up among ‘us, and their business is to throw abou firebrands, arrows and death. WL. Garrison is notedamong them. Among their nefarious prac- tices, not the least conspicuous is that of pervert-» ing the Bible, and assailing the benevolent in- stitutions of the ae They are accustomed to speak ‘‘ great swelling words,” and they delight to “speak evil of dignities."” With characteris- tic seltoondelt they ‘ine themselves to have inaugurated an illustrious refotm, which will be fully acknowied; when this Hats ad generation shall have Off the stage of tife: ‘They “‘des- ise governments,’? kick at the church, ignore he Sabbath; mock at ‘ism, Teasomand staltify themselves. 'y prate of 1 yey indish the Ephesian torch at ber very ple, Even better men than themselves have been touched with their venom, and are deceived with the fiction that if the Bible contains anything that contravenes our natural sensibilities—ibe in- stincts of our humanity—it would so far not be received by them! All this is put forth when talking about slavery, as if that Were the alpha and o of human depravity. They would not consent to dissolve the system by the influence of Bible truth, but by the principles of eternal rea- son. ‘Those failing, they would resort to fire and sword, and repeat the y madness rather than suffer the wrongs of the slave to be unavenged. The Southern States are happily free from such turbulent spirits. That people are strangers to such matters of conflagration. But while we endure them, though we cannot cure them, it is the province of cost and conscleutious Northern men to erect barriers against the-raging flood, and stand up boldly for the rights ot all, for the glorious Constitution, for the indissoluble Union and the freedom and panticass of tbe Church, which is protected by that Constitution, and en- joys so many blessings under that Uaion. The South may well be thankful for the peace and rosperity she enjoys, even in this time of ca- Naenity. Perhaps the clamor of irreligious abo- litionists will be abated, as their arrogance and self-conceit have been signally rebuked by the progress of events, and the powerfal expression of the public sentiment. We look for still greater improvement in those who are not utterly incer- rigible, and hope the best for all. Tur Cope.—Editor of the Star :—Dear Sir: In the name of thousands of your fellow-citizens who object to and design voting against the adoption of the proposed New Code of Laws for the District of Columbia, I respectfully pro- test against your course in giving its adoption the powerful aid of the Star. Your journal, all know, penetrates into the bosom of nearly every family, of all degrees, in the District, where all that it advises on such a subject is read and treasured because it ‘is the advice of a journal long consistently devoted to the best in- terests of the District. The opponents of the Code are therefore taken at great disadvantage while under existing eir- cumstances the weight of the Star’s popularity with all classes and parties is thrown against them. I beg that you will reflect seriously on these things, in the belief that on reflection you will perceive that your course in this matter has been an unjust one. I assume to make this ap- peal to you frankly, because, though “we e always differed im toto in politics, I am well aware, from having been a constant reader of your journal, that your aim has always been to do impartial justice in all things Leake tp ie the present and future well-being of your tellow-citi- zens, without distinction of party or opinion. Citizen or Wasuincton. Novemper 26, 1857. - ‘ We thank the writer of the above letter, whoever he may be. for the kind favor he evi- dently bears toward the Star, and have to as- sure him, and those who think with him upon the subject of ‘the Code,’’ that the Star's columns are open to the opponents of its adop- tion. We have always designed publishing communications, directed against its adoption, with which its opponents may favor us. So far not one has been offered to us. 1t must not be expected that we will devote the Star wholly to the publication of such articles, though we will gladly insert any that may reach us embracing sound reasoning against the Code’s adoption. We are in favor of its adoption with such amendment as may be deemed necessary after fall and free discussion, which can easily be made by Congress. Thus amended in a few particulars, it will doubtless prove a great im- provement over our present ill-digeeted system of local laws. Under this sincere belief, we regard it to be our duty to the public of the District to signify our opinion in the premises.
