Jweip ftttos. The Peace and Russia. Though the conditions of the treat just concluded at Paris are not jet

published, and will probably not see the light in their perfect form for some weeks, yet their substance is fully understood, having been already embodied in published protocols. Indeed, as the leading organ of England observes in its commentaries on the peace, it would be impossible to shroud long in darkness the features of so momentous an event; and both from its tone and that of Lord Palmerston in his announcing address to tho British Parliament, there can be little question that Russia has had to endure a severe humiliation. This tieaty of Paris, il, in truth, one of the most striking importanco in Russian history. Of all the treaties concluded by that haughty Empire du ring the last hundred and fifty years, it fs the first in which Russia receives the law instead of dicta&ng it, sind, at least in the aspect of her external policy and relations, comes off in a position even something lower than second best. This treaty has been to Russia a bitter pill, swallowed reluctantly and only under the compulsion of a strong necessity. Not that the courage of Russia ever waned; on the contrary, her battle, single-banded, against the odds combined to break her down, will always hold a promi nent page in the bloody records of history. To be sure, after the fall of half of Sevastopol and the submersion of the fleet, Russia might still have defended her territories step by step against a formidable coalition, extending daily in a circle of fire around her frontiers but at what cost and with immense losses. On the whole, this war couH. never have turned out successfully for her. It was in its commencement a mistake, and in its conduct faulty. Russia committed an error in not appealing to her natural allies, and in believing that the Western Powers, and especially England, would not press the war with a most enven omed animosity. It is now good policy in the Emperor to make peace, when he could gain no possible advantage by war. So far, therefore, he has shown a sagacious appreciation of the exigencies of the hour. History, on its every page, bears evidence that nothing has proved so fatal even to the most successful conquerors, or so ruined even the most victorious States, as an untimely obstinacy, Russia may perhaps have avoided greater evils in accepting the conditions imposed by adverse fortune. But, nevertheless, the one broad fact stands there, that in accepting this peace she has given up rights of sovereignty in her own dominions. Not a single nation in Europe or America, not even the smallest, is thus fettered. She is no longer master in her own house. She cannot make the use she chooses of her own bays, harbors and shores. All other nations rule orer their own waters; those of Russia alone become common property. Any other nation is permitted to choose any spot on her own shored, transform it into a stronghold, and erect there mil itary docks. But Russia's coasts, where her principal rivers, flowing from the richest portions of her great hmpire, find theirjmouths, and her greatest trade leads out are to be exposed unarmed and comparatively unprotected. Nicolaieff, to be sure, is not to be dismantled, but it ceases to bo a protection to the shores of the Black Sea, loses its extensive arsenals, is shorn of its former splendors; its military and scientific establishment, its schools and manufactories; and its noble docks, will soon be abandoned to desolation and decay. Russin, in a word, is disarmed on that very point of her huge frame in which as we al ways held, and tho war has proved she was most vulnerable. Tho Crimea was her Achilles's heel, and it has now been scarred and stripped of all a. : ti.... .k. :. 1.. its covennir. I here she is at thc mer cy of her enemies. Turkey possesses and preserves her immense arsenals and defenses in Constantinople; aud no matter how prostrate may be the condition of the Ottoman Empire, or how agonising its thoes, before the death-knell has sounded its dissolution it may still gather strength sufficient to strike one blow. The expiring nation may throw a flash before its fall. Another Amurath or Suleiman mav appear, or even a Barbarossa or Drnojut. While she holds life, the Porte will to the very last moment obtain encouragement and aid from the West in maintaining a navy in the Bosphorus. Then any piratical or adventurous chief will always be enabled to enter the Black Sea and ravage or destroy any spot he pleases. So can France and England, on any imaginary or pretty provocation and the latter of these powers, unscrupulous in her selfish purposes, has during the Inst century shown in many instances, both in Europe and this country, with what keen relish she can Srounco upon unguarded costs. The Inglish war-steamers can at any moment, swift as a flash, leap from their strong stations in the Mediterranean into the Black Sea, and such a coup de main would be suro to win prcnns from the British people. The closing of the Straits to all men-of-war we regard as but a poor security. The skeleton of power represented by the Porte will yield to any slight rupture, and deliver the keys of the Dardanelles with or without a struggle. With steam vessels the Straits can easily be forced. Austria, who is daily increasing her naval strength in the Mediterranean, can, in the way wo have pointed out, cross the imaginary barrier and make havoc on defenseless Russia: and Russia ought a. i i i D. to oars icsrueu mat sno naa no am

cere allies in Europe, and that the on- Granite State "the land of poor rslaly friends she could rely upon in case ' tions and cheap tomatoes."

of need her co-religionists and kindred of blood under Turkish sway she has now abandoned to hostile influences. In view of such eventualities, Alexander II may be forgiven for sighing over that necessity which has compelled him to recede from his rash and bold promise, not to sign at any price a disreputable peace. It is beyond question that noihing but great lobses in men and resources, occasioned more by the difficulty of communication with the Crimea from the interior than by the foriures of war, made it an imperative act of stater-manlike wisdom in Alexander to fix his hand to tho Paris treaty. He needs time to repair the short-comings, and correct the raiious faults committed for years in the internal and external policy of his country. Alexander II, from his earliest youth has given proof of a most gentle and generous disposition. He hated injustice and abuse of power, alike in the holder of the scepter and in tho smallest official. He most likely feels keenly that war is tho richest harvest for injustice, insolenco of office, oppression and peculation. He has within his grasp inexhaustible ways and means for soothing tho scar on tho national pride, which has risen from a combination of causes which he neither originated nor controlled. From his arly youth, too, bis propensities have been peaceful, and he was entirely averse to the excessive drill and military-making of all things, which gave such a delight to his father, and, above all, to his uncle, the Grand Duke Michael. It was this aversion that once drew from the deceased Gi and Duke the remaik, "He is not one of us." His longings for peace, especially when the war offered no real advantages, may thus be easily un

derstood. In peace he will be enabled to show his true metal, to relax the reins drawn to their utmost tension by his father, open the broadest fields for the intellectual development of his people, introduce reforms, inaugurate a new era, and turn to profit for himself and the nation themcquired experience and the results of his predecessor's reign. Already he, with his three younger brothers, each of them at the head of a special branch of the administration, wages an unrelenting war against abuses and peculation, that devouring and deeply-rooted cancer of Russian life. All seem bent on tearing up from its roots this destructive diseaso In our opinion,

horvevcr, there is but one cure pub- party should have a new, young and licity. With out it all efforts will fail, vigorous candidate, and therefore inA press independent of high or low of- sist that one who has won his fame in

tici'tU can alone effect their generous purposes. Its establishment, however, would require a superhuman effort of mind. In submitting now to imperative exigencies forcod on him by events beyond his control, Alexander and his Government ovince an extreme desire for peace, but likewise a greut consciousness of power and a strong selfreliance. It is only consciousness of strength that can impress on a state or a ruler the obligation of yielding in time under the weight of events. It is the property of genuine strength to be elastic, bend without breaking, and have the power of springing back in timo to its former place. Wo have pictured in outline here the dark side of this treaty for Russia. But it wears another and a brighter aspect. Her policy has been arrested, but for the sake of humanity let us hopo that her onwaid progress has only been transferred to an orbit broader and more easy to be run. V. Y. 7Vion. McCormick versus Manny's Reaper. The decision of the Court in the above case, has been published in pamphlet form, and is a valuable inquisition to patent jurisprudence. The first patent of McCormick was obtained in 1834, and the invention described in it has been public property for a number of years, so there was no infrimri'mfnt nf it in thc. nneatinn TIip J prjncipai features of complaint were the if-. . . "77. infringement ot Mcüorroick s patents of 1845 and 1847, the one embracing the "divider" for separating the grain to be cut from that to be left standing; and the other a peculiar arrangement of the raker's seat on the platform. Manny used both a divider and a raker's seat; but the claims of McCormick's patents only embraced combinations; and tho Court held that none of the combinations (which were useful in themselves) were infringed by Manny, because he employed different combinations. Dividers and rakers' scats were used in reaping machines be fön McCormick used them; his improvements the Court held to be distinct from the defendant's. It has been stated by some persons that a seat cannot be used with a reel on a Harvester without infringing McCormick's patent of 1847, but Obed Hussey used a raker's seat in connection with a reel before McCormick, so that this is not the feature of McCormick's invention. It consists m placing the driving wheel back, the gearing forward, and shortening the reel so as to balance tho machine when the raker sits or stands on a certain part of the platform. The decision says: "Now if a raker be seated on a different part of the machine and '-.here he can rake without balancing the machine, and without interruption from the reel it is a contrivance and an invention substantially different from McCormick's. To seat the raker on Manny's machine does not require the same elements of combination that were aasential in McCormick's invention." This is very decided and clear. The Court therefore decided that the reel and raker's seat in Manny's machine did not infringe the plaintiff's patent. Scientific American. Theodore Parker calla the

The Hext Campaign The Most Prominent Candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. Washington, Wednesday, April 23. Politicai movements in various parts of the Union excite considerable interest here. So far as can be ascertained with regard to the Democrats, Douglas is carrying nearly the entire Northwest, and appears to bo the second choice in all the Southern States where be is not the firsi choice. For the Vice-Presidency, Howell Cobb is said to be the most prominent. All who are for either Pierce or Douglas for President are inflexibly against Buchcnan. Many delegates to the Democratic National Convention say a victory with a candidate who is not an embodiment of the Kansas-Nebraska issue would be worthless. Buchanan has the support of Penn sylvania, New Jersey nnd Maryland, with strength in Michigan and NewYork. New-England is mostly for Pierce, and the South mainly for either Douglas or Pierce. It may be stated, in this connection, that Pierce claims a renominations on the ground that his course on the Kansas-Nebraska and other prominent questions, should be indorsed by the Democracy; and that if any man shall bo taken from the North, it must, injustice, be himself. Prominent Democrats, who have not resigned the principle of availability, and who, at this early period, look to compromise, in ease of bitter conflicts regarding Northern candidates, have in reserve Gen. Rusk, of Texas. On the Anti-Nebraska side, Fremont, since the publication of his Kansas letter to Robinson, appears to be shooting ahead. Salmon P. Chase jdoes not seem to have any ambition for the candidacy, while McLenn, Hale, Banks, Sumner, and Blair, whose names have been mentioned, are not aspirants for the nomination. Gov. Seward's friends are quiet, but he would rally a strong vote if he should expreM a desire for the nomination. Among tho leaders of the party, a general desire is manifest to yield personal preferences to whoever may ultimately bo considered tho most popular choice of the Anti-Nebraska masses; but the friends of Fremont aro enthusiastic, and it is . aid they are j evidently increasing i) jrs. They conten 1 that a new, yoün; vigorous other fields than those of the warrior or the politician, would have great strength before thc country, and would have no old prejudices to weigh him down. For the Vice-Presidency, among the Republicans, M. H. Grinnell, of NewAork; Collaraer, of Vermont, and Dayton, of New-Jersey, are talked of in case Fremont is nominated Benton does not indorse the Free State movement, and cannot, therefore, advocate Fremont's nomination. But little is said, in this locality, of Mr. Fillmore or his prospects. Xew York Timet. Democracy of the Bible. "Christianilv, avoiding anarchy on tho one hand and despotism on tho other, sets the race on a path of unlimited advancement. It pronounces all men equal. In express terms, the Christian revelation declares all nations of the earth to be of one blood; it pronounces all men equally the subjects of one King; it makes the value of a soul infinite, and shows no difference between the worth of that of a beggar and that of a prince. Look into the stable at Bethlehem, on that night when crowned sage and humble shepherd knelt by thc cradle of that babe who was their common King; do you notsee, in that spectacle, the bond of an essential equality uniting all ranks, and making tho regal purple and the peasant's russet faint and temporary distinction? Well might Coleridge say, that tho fairest flower hi ever saw climbing round a poor man's window, was not so beautiful in his eyes as the Bible which he saw lying within. If all classes foisook the gos pel, ono might expect the poor, the hard-toiling, the despised, to cling to it. Whatever Christianity may have become in our churches and in our times, the great class of the workers can find in its aspects no excuse for abandoning itself, unless they can show that the churches have re-written the Bible; unless tbey can allege that it no longer exhibits the Divine Founder of Christianity preaching to the poor, companying with publicans and sinners; unless they can show that it was the sanctioned usage ot apostolic times, tohonor the rich in the Christian assemblage: unless, in one word, tbey can deny that the gospel holds forth to every man the prospect of being a king and priest to God." Selected. Education vs. Money. The following anecdote from the People's Organ, refers undoubtedly to Hon. Jacob Collamer, now in the United States Senate, aud deserves to go tho rounds at the story of the two heirs: "I remember," says the lato Postmaster General of the United States, "the first time I visited Burlington, Vt., as Judge of the Supreme Court. I had loft it many years before a poor boy. At the time I left, there were two families of special note for thejr standing and wealth. Each of them had a son of about my own age. I was very poor and they were very rich. Daring tho years of hard toil which passed before my return, I had almost forgotten them. They had long ago forgotten me. Approaching the Court House for the first time, in company with several gentlemen of the bench and bar, I noticed in the Court House yard a

largo pile of old furniture about to be

sold at auction. The scenes of early childhood by which I was surrounded prompted mo to ask whose it was. I was told it belonged to Mr. J. "Mr. J? I remember a family of that name, very wealthy; there was a son. too, can it be he?" I was told that it was even so. He was the son ef one of the families alluded to.
