SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union corrects the misrepresentation of its position on Territorial sovereignty, made by the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel. The Union, also, adverting to the rumors that Lopez was engaged in obstructions to the Paraguay river, doubts their truth, and anys: “* if we find the river Paraguay obstructed, it Will be our service to get rid of such obstacles as ‘dest we can. Ifthe work shall be serious, it will take a little more of our time and labor; if trifling, that will be our good luck. The ‘expe- |, however, in any event, will be It to visit the capital of President Lopez, and,’ we trust and believe, only to procure from bi 1 the satisfaction our commntentoner may demand.”? Further, the Unzon shows that the Torénto (C. W.) Leader “ appreciates the soundness of the Treasury construction of the treaty in re- gard to féur manufactured in Canada of Amer- ‘ican wheat, and denies that there is apy just ground of dissatisfaction with it on the part of ‘the Canadians.” The Inteli:gencer notices the Union's article on the revival of the Indian-war policy of Gen. Jackson. —- ee Great Gate at Sr. Domtnco.—Capt. Thomp- son, of the schooner Euphemia, arrived at New “York from the city of St. Domingo, reports that a heavy gale was experienced on the 20th, 2ist, and 22d October, at that place, during which the French brig Esperanza dragged ashore, and was a total loss. A French brig on the coast bad also gone ashgre and was a total loss. The crews of both vessels were saved. a Twotana.—A special session of the Indiana leg- islature convened at Indianapolis, on Saturday ‘The House was organized by the election of J W. Gordon, Republican, as speaker, A.J. Ryan, Anti-Lecompton, principal Clerk, Geo. H Chap- man, Republican, assistant Clerk, and Robert JSenninge, Republican, Doorkeeper. The Senate elected J. H. Vawtey, Anti-Lecompton, as prin- cipal Clerk, James Tynor, Republican, assistant Clerk. After the election of officers both Houses immediately adjourned.

This amount be recom- mends should be paid by a sale of long bonds, which would sell at par or over. Ss From Cativoxxia.—The overland mail, with San‘Frencisco dates to the 25th of October, has arrived at St. Louis. Heavy rainsextending throughont the State, are Yeported, and the miners have been driven from several of the river beds by the high water. The steamer Cortez from Victoria, had arrived @t San Francisco with five hundred passengers and $12,000 in gold dust. The Teports from Fra~ wer river are more favorable. Ebenezer Thayer, of Boston, committed sui- elde on the 24th ult. Business at San Francisco had been very dull, bat the demand from the country had improved somewhat. The premature advent of the rainy season had imparted fresh confidence in the en- suing winter business. —_ ~ THe Coorres 1x Cusa.—a Virginia gentleman Of inteligence, who recently visited Cuba, gives @ sad picture of the toils and sufferings to which the Coolie slaves are subjected. They have nothing like the capacity of the negro for labor and endurance. and yet the same tasks are im- posed upon them. When not engaged in the Held they herd indiscriminately, men, women and children, in huts, with no semblance of the family tie or obligations. Suicide is common among them, sometimes ten or a dozen hanging themselves ata time. No Provision is made for their return to their native land, from which they have been beguiled, and their masters having no intérest in them, except to get the greatest amount of work possible out of them during their Period of apprenticeship, heap upon them an amount of labor that soon briaks them down, and often hurries them to the grav ——— Fortion Commerce or tux Unitep States ‘We have before us a semi-officia! statement of the Foreign Commerce of the United States for the past year, of which the following are the re- sults, ending June 30, 1855 ; Imports for the year 1957-8.

Tax Faexca Stave Trapz—The reliable Paris correspondent of the New York Journal of Commeice, discredits the statements of the Paris Purveyois of the London press that the French goverument have definitely resolved to put an end to the experiment of free emigration from Africa. He says the contracts are for a long period; they received the sanction and warrant of the govern- ment; the Antilles remain eager for preservanee 4m the scheme.

The Evateatay WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP oc etn fe Sma inc Homa.—The Navy Department is in re- ceipt of a letter from Opt. John 8. Chauncey, | of the U.S. steamer Niagara, dated at Porto Grande, Island of St. Vineent, Capede Verdes, Oct. 22, 1858, in which it igetated that the ves- sel touched there to obtain a supply of coal, as her stock was unexpectedly diminished: be- cause of the prevalence of a south wind, which ‘structions which were sent by Secretary Cobb to the Collector at Mobile in reply to a letter Taz Noro Cargo or ras Ecno Return rendered it necessary to use steam; as, under sail, the vessel was driven farther from her port of destination. Unusual cold weather had been experienced during a portion of the trip, and daring the twenty-four hours pre- ceding the 14th of October, seven of the cap- tured Africans had died from a complication of diseases—the scurvy and disrrhea—which were rendered more difficult of treatment and of increased fatality by reason of the cold. The cold weather was experienced on account of the vessel being driven te the eastward and northward a considerable distance out of her course. These cases of death, added to those that had previously occurred since the negroes were re- ceived on board at Charleston, made an aggre- gate of forty-five; and there being no prospect of a change of wind, and the stock of icines being rapidly reduced, until there was groat liability of their failure, Yetermined Capt. Cc te put the vessel undex steam and seek a more southern latitude and the port of destination with all possible despatch. He felt confident that this Government, in the execution of its Philanthropic mission of returning there ne- groes *‘to freedom and their native land,” would not object to the additional expenditure incurred with a view to saving their lives. Every possible care has been used to render the negroes comfortable; but it was found impos- sible to break up their filthy hebits, which, to- gether with the unpropitious weather experi- enced since the commencement of the voyage, have operated very much against their sanitory only one has oc- curred among the females, owing to the fact improvement. Of the dea: that their habits are less filthy. They are com- paratively thriving, though most of them are afflicted with catarrh. Capt. 8. refers to the facts that no mortality has occurred since the vessel reached a warm latitude, and that a South wind had continued to prevail while the vessel was under steam, to vindicate his adoption of that measure. Then, again, his stopping at Porto Grande for coal on the outward trip will obviate the necessity of his touching there on his return from Monrovia to the United States, which he would otherwise have been compelled todo. He intended pro- ceeding on his voyage within twenty-four hours of the time of writing, and reports the crew and officers all well. Kicxixe 1n tHe Traces.—The Evening Post, or radical Democratic wing of the Re- publican party, manifest a strong disposition to bolt from Mr. Seward’s new (Rochester) plat- form. A writer in the Post—believed to be no other than Mr. Benjamin F. Butler, of stated Preaching memory—the leader of that wing of the New York Republican party—reviews Mr. Seward’s pronunciamento with much ability and earnestness, protesting. in the name of those he facetiously dubs the State Rights wing, against the centralization notions with which the Senator’s platform is redolent, say- ing, in the course of his remarks: “* There was, and still 1s no disposition amony the great body of the people of the free States to molest or disturb the Sastitution of slavery in the States where it exists, and if Senator Seward means to be understood as representing other- wise, be Is no more a correct exponent of the sen- iments, views and principles of the Republican ty in 1863, than of the Democratic party of * *£ @ @ «& & "#7 «© ‘* Is met by Senator Seward, himself a central- ist, who would ‘ bring the States tutoa bigher and more perfect social unity or consolidation,’ who tells us ‘that the United States must and will, sooner or later, become either a slavehold- ing nation or entirely a free-labor nation.» This is the logical sequence of the first great erro: both of which are weeny * * * The Stat Rights men, who constitute a vast majority of our countrymen, will never sustain the central doctrines of either. * * * * * “The speech at Rochester, like all of Senator Seward’s productions, displays talent and gents, but discloses to us the sentiments of an imperial- ist rather than a ‘republican’ statesman. He would not confine his views to a coufederated republic of separate and distinct States, possess- ing only limited and specified powers, but would give us instead a splendid empire, anda govern- ment with omnipotent authority.

Bree labor |: not all there is to freemen, nor is the slave owner the begs! tyrant.

His state. ment of historical facts is not only incorrect but unjust. and bis doctrinal views are such as can bo ea the approval of a Democratic ‘ Repub- ican.’ ’* Emanating from the pen of Benj. F. Bulter, and appearing in the columns of the New York Evening Post, such sentiments are neither more nor less than most dangerous “ flat burg- lary’’—high treason in the Republican party camp, indicating that in his Rochester bid for other abolition support for Morgan in the late New York State election, Mr. Seward overshot his mark in a manner likely to involve his own presidential prospects in great danger. Lesat Latix — “A bill bas been introduced into the Legis lature of Georgia, to prevent the use of any Latin Phrase in the legislative acts of that State.’’ Georgia will deserve all praise, and we seri- ously hope all the other States wil! “tumble in” in good time. In looking over Webster's una- bridged, we are fully, most fully, and firmly con- vinced that the English language !s fully capable of expressing any idea that may occur to any one, except a Frenchman. We would alse suggest another 1m rovement, that of doing away with Latin phrases in sheriff's sales, Buch as fcr ict (something) and venditio «zpomis. { would ask how many of our sherifis understood the unadulterated Latin? Whilst in- diting on these subjects, we would suggest a short- ening of title papers in conveying real estate, leaving ‘*ways, water courses’’ where there is no water, af, also, “dog, devil, and fence,” &c With the exreption of the courses and dis tances a deed for real estate should be no more lengthy and verbose than a treasury bond for $1,000 J.D.B P.S.

Note—It is to be presumed that one. who would undertake to write on such a subject is learned in the law, if not in the languages. We, however, question the wisdom of his ad- vice in favor of unsettling a legal practice of many centuries’ duration, because it might open the door to the perpetration of more frauds and mistakes in plain EngMsh than are now perpetrated in dog—we beg pardon of the Profession—low Latin.

Viz: Shall the approaching Virginia State Convention pass a tesolution endorsing the policy of the adminis- tration of James Buchanan? Yet we can hard- ly believe the WArg in earnest. t hinge its doubt upon the opposition of the Richmond Exguirer to the Administration Kansas policy, ignoring for the time being the faet that that journal as persistently and vehe- meatly opposed the late re-election of Senator Hunter and the legislative endorsement of the Lecompton policy of Mr. Buchanan; and that when the voting came on, it was found that its views were literally without a party among the Virginia Democracy, as represented in the Leg- islature. There exists no reason whatever to imagine that it will be able to affect the action of the approaching State Convention no more than that of the Democracy of the Legislature on the occasions above referred to. Indeed, we question whether ten of the three or four hun- dred delegates who will attend at Petersburg, will be found sympathizing with the views of the Enyuirer. The sentiment of the party throughout the State is set forth to the letter in the following brief extract from a late num- ber of the Petersburg Press : ‘«Never in our annals has an Administration devoted itself more assiduous!
