on oh . April 23, 1861. Spirit of the Morning Press The Intelligencer, in reply to certain strictures upon its course by the Richmond Whig, says it stands upon the same ground It has always oc- oupted, and while it does not commit Itself te the political principles of any Administration, !t will continue to stand by the Constitution and Gevern- Ment of the United States. The Republican says: “If the nation holds this capital, it must held, not merely Maryland, but large portions of Vir- ginia. It must hold Fortress Monroe; it must bold & considerabie strip of the right benk of the navi- + it must held northwestern Vir- ginia, to preserve its connections with the West; end Immediately in this vicinlty no foreign juris @iction can be tolerated within striking distance of the capital.’’ ———_ +e Tux Purrose or Concestratixe TRoors Hrxz —Silowly, ss the intense excitement that has pervaded the public mind for some days past is cooling off, it is becoming apparent to all who have im any degree recovered capacity to think, that It ts by no means the purpose of the Gover? ‘ment to employ the troops it is so energetically col- Jecting at this point, otherwise than to the single end of guaranteeing the Federal Metropolis to the Government of the United States, by according to it ample protection against the possibility of capture either by an extemporised reid of unauthorized parties, or an assault under orders from the parties claiming to be the government of the South. The Clear exposition of bis purpose in collecting these troops in and around Washington which the President so frankly accorded to Mayor Brown, of Baltimore, on Sunday lost, is doing {a legiti- mate work in undecetving the peuple tn this inat- Yer; and we repeat the material portion of Mayor Brown’s account of bis tntervi-w with the Ex- ecutive, that those whe have not yet read it may comprehend ata glance just what is designed to be accomplisued—viz : “The protection of Washington, he asseverated with great earnestness, wes tne sole object of con- Cem'rating troop: there. and he provest d that none breugas througa Meryiand were ta y prrposes hostile to the Siate, or S@egresstee as agains: ths South-rm States ng how unable to bring tuem up the Potomac itn Security, the Government must either bring taem through Maryland or sbanden the capital.” Under such circumstances, any one who, know- ing that there has been end yet remains tmminent anger that the Federal ‘ietrcpolis might be wrest- ed from the Governinent—that uring a leading fea- ture of the piane of the revolutionists —unless i: be 80 Strengthened as to defy nny and ail attempts so to wrest f, end yet contianes to deprecate the Policy of conor strating troops here, cannot fai! to Sym pathizs with the purpose of Its capture by zé- Sault. - ———_$_$____ Tee Muitaxt sxy Navat Resiexations oF Yestexday —It ie well for the pablic service that the military sad neval officers whe yesterday , have quit the hese gentlemen feit conscrous that they could no longer serve the United States with the apirit of loyalty to them ‘with which honorable men should be !mpressed, in their late positions, it was bui their duty to the Goverament to decline longer to wield its trusts We have no word of reprouch for them becaute they failed to leave the service sooner; becauge knowing well that they have with great reluct- ance, indeed, resigned, even atthisiateday.

The 4th of July rapidly approaches, when the whole subject matter is, by express action of the President, to De remitted to erbitrament different fiom that of the sword. In te meanwhile, the Government Bete will be duly prepared to respond to any course of action which Cong:ess may lay down for it. If ere then those who At do not force it into active war, we see no reason ‘whatever to believe that it will resort to it; its war Policy being, uutil Congress directs, only to repel force with force.

A gentieman ‘who came passenger in the James Jerome from Philadelphia, that reached the Washington Navy- ‘Yard yegyerday, informs us, that after that vessel ‘was brought to by Fort Washington on the eveu- ing before last (by the two guns heard in thi: city, it will be recollected.) he came bither on foot from the vicialty of the fort, and saw men busily engaged yesterday morning erecting = battery on ‘the Maryland shore opposite the White Howse.

The Sixth, Twelfth and Seventy iret New York regiments, composing 3.000 men sj marched down Broadway, at noon to-day, fully semed and equipped.
