SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer in an article on “The Currency,”’ quotes the conclusions arrived at, at a series of weekly meetings held by “the friends of a sound currency,’’ im the city of New York, in September last, concurring with some of the views presented, and dissenting from others. In the connection it takes ecoa- sion to say a good word for the old United States Bank, suggesting that such an institu- tion would now be the best means of regulating the paper currency of the different States. The Union folks kept New Year’s day, and consequently that paper did not make its ap- pearance this morning. Armorniat Reantnes.—Editor of the Star— Dear Sir: As you were kind enough to publish my letter relative to “ New Titles’? on Monday» there is another subject which, in my opinion, is insepzrable from it, that is, the heading of this letter.

He reiterates bis views on the subject of State international improvements, stating that he is in favor ofa Liberal and enlightened policy, believ such improvements indispensable to development of the State’s resources and the prosperity of the People. On the subject of slavery he says: To avoid all misappreheusion, 1 state in lan- guage, distinct and emphatic, that I regard the institution of domestic slavery, existing in Vir- X'nia, and the otber siave-holding States, morally, socially and poiitically—rizght.
