tncSy, ana w natever may be the result, we earnestly hope that we shall not b compell

ed to record scenes of violence and Llood-

shc-d. We condemn such exhibitions as

strongly in Democrats as in Know-Nothings.

But to the honor of our party, be it said, sel

dom, very seldom, does contempt of the law at elections attach to tho Democracy. The

Presidential vot in Kentucky In 1Ro2 stood

ss follows:

Scott 57,0"3. Pieuce 53,807; giving

Scott a majority of four thousand two hundred and sixty-one, which the Democracy

would havo o overcome if things stood in stttu qix. But the new issues have, we hope,

worked for the benefit of our cause.

We learn from the Bardstown Oaictte that

the Cincinnati Time has been playing the game there as in Virginia and Tennessee. The G-ne'Je says: This pap?r, intended exclusively for Ken

tucky circidati'tt, we have had in our possession som day?, and we have now succeeded in getting hold of one of its issues, for Ohio asd NonTnERX cibctxatiox, of the SAME DATE AND NUMBER and the papers are as different as if emanating from different offices aiii edit?d by different men. The Northern number has nothing about the fifth district in it no article appealing to the "Citizer.3 of Kentucky' and nothing favoring the South or southern institutions. It speaks with pleasure of Chase's election being ecn-e gives anti-slavery platforms pats the Abolitionists familiarly on the back,

made of quite different materials, goes against

are both m our possession, and can bo seen by any and every one.

Gentlemen of political experience say that

perhaps Mxp.jead, from hi3 personal popu

Icrity may b elected, bnt the State will be

fairly divided with the Democracy. McGof

ITS and Wool ley, loth Democrat?, will be

elected; and Prestos will be elected if the

voters of the first, seoond and eighth Wards

cf the city of Louisville are permitted to tote.

Eut on this point the CowriVr says:

It is cow reduced to a certainty that the

infamous scheme to produce not and blood

shed ail to disfranchise at least one thousand or fUVon hundred of the legal voters of the city, concocted in the secret councils of the Know Nothing' and faithfully carried out by their willing autjcts in the General Council and cn the judge's bench, is to be prosecuted to tho utt criMOit extreme. Under present arrargcrei:t3 it is entirely impracticable to lill the tntira vote in the First, Second or Eighth Wards. The onlr manner ia which

even anything like an approximation to a full vote can b taken is by concerted action in thwe wards, frr the bulk of the voters to cast their votes only for Governor, IV'entonant Governor, Congressman, Senator fti.d Representative, instead of for the entire ticket. Hexrt Clat o Fr?ioy. The following is an extract from a ppeech delivered by Henry Clay, in Nov. 10, 1850; and now both applicable and of intorest: "But if it (th? Whip; party) is to be merged into a contemptible Abolition party, and if Aboli "nis;n is to j engrafted upon the Whig creed, from that moment I renounce the party and cea to b ft Whig. I go yt a step further: If I am a'ive, I will give my humble support tj that man far the Presidency, who, to whatever party he may belong, is not contaminated by fanaticism, rither than to one who, frying out all tho time that he is a Whi, maintain Wtrir.es uferly subversive of the Constitution and the Union. ,

Mr. Wise.

To show the devices to which partizan

rancor will lead, the Know Nothing papers

have been trying to make capital and sow

dissension among Democrats by distorting

the meaning of a letter addressed by Mr.

Wise to the Ynvng Mm' Dewieratic Union

Club of Xew Torlc. They pretend that Mr. Wise, in his letter.

endorsed the soft shells of New York and

repudiated the hards. Now, in truth, we doubt whether he knew that he was addressvar the soft; certainly, he could not have

had any desire, to increase the split among! the Democrats of New York or to interfere

in their local quarrels. That our readers may judge for themselves, we give the whole

letter. Accomac, Va., J une 5, 1853. Gentlemen: I have receivod yours of the 26th nit, at this place from Washington City. It breathes so true a tone of patriotism and sound wisdom, that you almost tempt me to forget myself and make a promise which I could not worthily redeem. If anything is wanted, it is exactly what you propose to restore the Republic to a sense of the individual rights it must and shall defend, or cease to exist The issue is Shall the republic continue? It cannot, if intolerance, priestcraft, sectionalism, bigotry, higher law, are to reign in the elections. And if bad men will secretly combine for the purposes of political assassination, good men must openly band together to conserve the liberties and the inalienable righta which neither mobs nor legislation may assail without bringing death and destruction to our whole system of private rights and public property. Cordially, theu, with all my heart and all my heftJ, I devotedly unite with "the Yonng Men's Democratic Union Club" of New York, in the noble enterprise they undertake of restoring the old feeling the heroic revolutionary feeling of this blessed country and its happy people. We must recur to fundamental principles. We must revive the national sense of who we are of our origin of our fathers' faith and sacrifices of what we are and should be, tho necessities which constrain us as of old to be united, in order to remain free, and the ends we ought to aim at, and the Constitutions, State and Federal, whicb are the standards and the touch-stones of our political action. There must be a revival of the love of law, order, reverence for sound morality, and respect for private and public authority. Legislation must be so restrained as not to invade inalienable rights. Men must be educated not legislated to be good Christians and good citizens. Tho church must not lay its hands on political power, for the sake of persecution or any

other purpose. There must be no Popes

here, either Protestant or Catholic. No power

must dare to interpose between our conscien-1

ces and our God. The constitutions and law of the land must be obeved the union of the

States and tho rights and sovereignties of the

States must be preserved and perpetuated. To this end, we must revive a new national feeling in the fusion of conservatives of all parties against the destructives who would bring nothing but confusion upon us all by combining all the odds and all the ends of all the isms in one omnium-gathervm-tem of Know Nothingism. I beg pardon. I wish I could accept your call; I would gladly if I could; I cannot; my health ia shattered. I have been absent from home since the 1st of January. I am worn

down iu the late canvass; I must rest; my lungs are suffering, and I cannot for month

to come either labor or speak. My heart and soul are with you with all my might. I am, your obliged servant and friend, HENRY A. WISE.

Colored Men for Office in New York. 1 Two or three weeks since a call was made by the colored people of New York to meet in Convention at Troy, on the first Tuesday of September. The Neiv York Herald made some very severe comments on the affair, and the following letter from one of the signers to the call is tho consequence:1 Albant, July 24, 1S35. 7o tlte Rlitor of tlte Sew York Herald: .

I see by the Herald of this week, that you

have spoken of the Convention which is to

white Abolition friends charge mo with trying to make divisions in the Abolition ranks

of creating prejudice against color.

Now, sir, twenty-five years of experience

work ourselves; we can better the coudition

of one another by being united.

uneasy. We have a right to call a Nationa

Let the Know Nothing Abolition party of Indiana succeed in the elections of this anil next season and it will not be five years until we shall see our Constitution changed, and Negroes made equal, in all things, with the whites. We shall then have Negro candidates for the Legislature, and for Congress, and other offices. Will the people of ludiana endorse a party which teaches such unnatural doctrines? "Down with the

poor white man, but up with the negro." This is '.he policy of Abolitionism this is

what it teaches. Citizens of Indiana, look to

the issue to which K. N. Abolitionism is fast

hastening you.

Circulation of Indiana Papers.

Our citizens are grvatly to blame for not patronizing their own papers to a greater ex-1 tent We do not make tho remark in reference to ourselves, for we believe our circula- j tion is larger, certainly as large, as that of any other paper in the State. The complaint was suggested by reading a notice of the circulation of the Philadelphia Daily Ledger for the month of July. It averaged per day during that month, sixty thousand thret hundred and sevetity-tliree cojn'es. This is probably the largest edition, by at least tea thousand per day, of any daily newspaper in the world. Three thousand, one hundred and forty-four and a half reams of paper per month, rofc

something in the course of a year. We, of course, do not expect any such grand results as the But an approximation, even at a remote distance, may bo looked for as nothing more than what is due to the press from the two great parties which divide our State. It is a matter of equal interest to

insionists and Democrats to sustain their

own papers. MThe Press' said Mackintosh,

"is the whispering gallery of the world." But Indiana politics will be whispered to the

people in very inaudible tones unless thav

Chamber of Commerce Affairs of the

O. & M. Railroad

A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis was held yesterday to take action on the affairs of the Ohio & Mississippi

Railroad

The meeting was well attended, and passed

on harmoniously'. Its results, we feel assur

ed, wiil depend only on the sincerity and earnestness with which the merchants and

other citizens are ready to co-operate in ac

compliahing the objects apparently desired on

all hands,

Wha this particular movement originated

with we are not advised; but, as citizens of

St Louis, wo most heartily wish that the ends

arrived at roav be achieved.

On calling the meeting to order, Mr. Lackland, President of the Chamber, stated that Henrj- D. Bacon, President of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, had advised him that all the books, papers, accounts and vouchers of the Company would be placed at the disposal of a committee of the Chamber, if such committee Should pioiuted,Jla''k?. fdl

investigation ol all the a flairs ot t no Company, from its first organization up to the present time; and that such investigation by tho Chamber was desired by Mr. Bacon. Mr. John Ilogan submitted a preamble and resolutions, and accompanied them with some remarks on the usefulness of the road, the necessity of its early opening, and the importance of an united effort to bring some degree of order out of the present chaos. Mr. Hogan well remarked that in all important public movements heretofore, St Louis had been a unit; and, as tho Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was, in his opinion, the most important work wo had cver yet been engaged in, we ouzht to be united now. Mr. John Leach said that he would not serve on the Committee, (having been named as one,) unless it was understood that the investigation was to bo searching and complete. Ho desired that provision should be made for Clerks and Book-keepers to assist the com

mittee. He did not desire the Committee to

take the ipse dixit of any man in regard to the affairs of the Company; but to examine

for themselves. It wa3 a labor of magnitude, but if he went into it, he wished to perform it thoroughly. He thought that, in default

of action by the City Council, the Chamber I Commerce was acting as a sort of provisional government on tho subject of the road.

This was a revolutionary sort of proceeding. The Chamber had no legal right to demand

the books cf this Company any more than

the books of the bt. Louis Insurance Com

prmy, or anv other Corporation. But as the

courtesy had been shown the Company to tender facilities for an investigation, he

thought that justico to all concerned, requii

ed that they should be taken advantage of to

the fullest extent. This was the substance of

Mr. Leach's remarks,

M. J. II. Alexander, the Trustee of the

Road, stated that all the vouchers of the Company for payments were numbered and that every facility would be afforded for the

proposed investigation. lie said the accounts

I were, and had bc-en open to investigation;

but that the difhculty had been to get any-

lodv to investigate. lie appealed to Mayor

King if tins was not the case, to his (the Mayor's) knowledge. Mr. King assented to

the correctness of the statement.

Some remarks were made by Mr. Mudd.

Mr. Hartnett, Gen. Rannev, and Mr. Kdgell,

concerning the investigation, the mode of

raiamg money, &c, but not effecting the pro

priety of tVe action proposed

The following preamblo and resolutions

were passed unanimously.

hereas, it is a public interest that the

conditioned the Ohio Sc Mississippi Railroad

company bnould be fully known, and the ac

counts thereof fully investigated; and whereas the public with propriety look to tho Cham

ber of Commerce to take some steps in this

matter, so that a full investigation of the accounts of said road be had. Therefore, dissolved, That a Committee of be appointed by this Chamber to make a thorough examination of the accounts of said Company, specifically showing the purposes for which the expenditures have been made. Paired unanimously, with James E. Yeatman, George Partridge, John Leach, John Hogan, Unit Rusin and John S. McCune, as committee, appointed by unanimous vote. AV.Wiyv, That it is all important to the trade and business of this city that tho Ohio & Mississippi Railroad be put in operation as speedily as osible; and as it is understood there ar some debts due along the road, which ii is necessary should be paid, that all hazard to the trains may be avoided therefore it is further .

Democratic Meeting at Broad Ripple,

Marion County- ' A large assemblage of .the truo National

men of Washington township, convened at

Broad Ripplo on Friday last Three boat loads of citizens of Indianapolis, with martial music and banneis, arrived about noon, in good

time to partake of an excellent dinner at

Robt. Earl's. At 2 o'clock a procession was

brmed and marched to a grove in the rear

of Mr. Earl's dwelling, near a fine spring of

pure cold water.

The meeting wa3 organized by electing Jo

nas Hcffmax, President, and A. B. Shaw, Secretary.

On motion, the following Committee was

appointed to report suitable resolutions: Ja

cob PvOberts, C. Vanlandinoham, W. A.

Earle, W. WrxPEXjrr, David Hrrp and

S. Vanlandinoham

William Stewart then addressed the

meeting in a sterling ana argumentative

speech.

W. B. Beach followed in a most effective

speech, decisive and unanswerable.

W. A. McKenzie, a National Whig, then

responded to an unanimous call, and in a

brief but concise speech, at times truly elo

quent, alluded to the changes which had ta

ken place in the political firmament. He

said he had beeu a Hekry Clat Whig, and

was a National Whig yet, but for the future

would act with the only national party in the

country the Democratic. But if it should

change to an Abolition party he would leave

it. His remarks were received with greaJ

applause, and expressions of "that's honest'

"good," "right," &c, &c,

David Vanlaninoram then briefly respon

dedto a call in a neat and spirited address.

Kilbt Ferguson, being loudly called for,

appeared and addressed the meeting in an

effective speech.

The Committo , on resolutions reported the following, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, The history of the Democratic Party being the history c f the United States, and as no page of our Country's history ia yet stained by any civil war, and our Constitution and code of National laws are still preserved in their purity, and have resisted tho violent assaults made upon them by Abolition fanatics and Know-Nothing desperadoes, and are yet regarded as the very embodiment of civil liberty by all good men and are still reverenced by the oppressed of the Old World as a beacon light beaming with purity and shedding its lnstre over the civilized world, Iherefore, be it Jlesolved, By this assembled meeting, that the Union of these States and the perpetuity of our glorious Constitution

ought to be and is the controlling influence of

oi.r political actions, and that we have implic

it faith that the great National Democratic

Party of which we constitute a part will preserve them while it controls and guides the Ship of State.

Resolved, That this nation was brought into being and continued existence by the success

of the Democratic sentiment and principle, that our constitution is Democratic, as it declares that all power is in the hands of the people. Resolved, That a Constitution thus formed ought to be in the hands of its friends and supporters, and being armed with the sword of truth and encircled by the girdle of the Constitution, we will support it against all factions at presant known by different aliases, such as Know Nothings, Republicans, People's Party and other names which they have adopted to conceal their deformities. Resolved, That we extend the hand of cordial welcome to those Patriotic National Whigs, who, casting aside party prejudices for the sake of the Union, augment our strength in our contest against sectional fanaticism and religious bigotry. Resolved, That the principles of the Democratic party under which our government has prospered and grown to its present greatness, stretching out its arms to the oppressed of

nected with State and National Government we will vote for such men as will carry out those great and fundamental principles.

Resoled, That from this good hour it

should be the duty of all lovers of liberty and good order, the Constitution of our fathers

and the liberties bequeathed to us by those pure patriots, to gird themselves anew, and

strengthened in faith by past defeats and the present cheering auspicies, give a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, till the last

remnant of the midnight foe be torn from its

usurped dominion and the party of right, jus

tice and truth, be restored to its wonted emi

nence upon the watch towers of our country.

The right sp:rit is aroused in old Washing

ton, and if the National men of that township continue as energetic as they have be

gun it will be redeemed from Abolition rule.

Let their motto be that of the immortal

Washington : "Beware of geographical ques

tions!"

The Managers of the Bellefontaiue

Railroad at Indianapolis refuse to receive the

paper of the Indiana Stock Banks in payment

for freights &c, arc. 1 his is right. At this

time tho people ate oppressed and abused

with bank paper. If the railroads centering

at the State capitol wouli all refuse to receive

bank paper of all descriptions, take noihing but the legal constitutional currency gold or

silver coin the people would soon have a

better currency. This policy, if pursued by the Railroad Companies throughout the State, and if they would pay out tho coin for labor

and materials on the line of their respective roads, it would have as good an effect on the

currency in the btate as Gen. Jackson's spe

cie circular had upon the currency of the

Lmled States

Instead of falling back upon this Jackson

policy, the State tkntinel faintly echoss tho

Journal which in tho now olden time was a

regular "British bought United States Bank paper" writes half column leaders in con

demnation of this specie circular of the Belle fontaine Railroad. Madiion Courier.

It is not particularly because the managers

of the Bellefontaine road refusj to receive the paper of the Indiana Stock anks, that we

have declared against it, hut because they dis

criminate in favor of foreign Banks, which

have not one-half tha amount of securities,

and are not one-half as well guarded as our

Free Bauks. We are for a hard money currency: this is in consonance with the views o; the Democratic party on the currency quea-

! tion; but as long as we are afflicted with

Banks, and until we have a metalic currency, we are for that system of Banking which promises the greatest security to the bill holder. As to the Sentinel faintly "echoing the Journal," this is only one of the Courier's stretches of imagination. When the Bellefontaine or any other Railroad, issues "specie circular,' we shall have naught to say against it That Road has never done anything of the kind, however.

Lewis D. Campbell. We received the following letter and the

remarks accompanying it, on Sunday morning

We present them to our readers at the earn-

est opportunity. It will bo observed mat Mr. Campbell has subiequenily written out what

he thinks he said. Those who were present say he spoke under high excitement and ex

temporaneously; and we are so confident of

the accuracy of the gentleman who gave us the information, that we cannot doubt that

his report was more correct than the present revision. Mr. Campbell's idea of modifying

matters, by placing himself on a level with

Striuofellow, and by magnifying a borderforay into a general plan of the whole south

for bloodshed, disunion and civil war, is evi dently an after-thought.

However, we are willing to give Mr. C. the

lienefit of sober second thought and cool re

flection. But we are compelled to say that his second thoughts aro not very sober, nor his reflections very cool even as they appear on paper after the excitement of debate bas

died away. The publication of his remarks

will furnish an example of the extravagance,

exaggeration and misrepresentation to which

partizan-rancor will lead men considered re

spectable in private life. We want no better argument to convert men to Democracy than

o give them an opportunity of reading just

Huch violent opinions as Mr. Campbell's:

This Missouri Compromise thus proposed

by the South, and earned by her united vote,

brought immediately into tho Union another

slave State, in violation of the principles by which Jefferson and bis compeers were actua

ted when the Constitution was adopted.

Subsequently Arkansas was admitted because

it was alleged that the Act of 1820 gave

by implication the right to the peopl

of the territory south of ZG 30 to

adopt slavery. Much as the Free States dis

liked this arrangement, originally, they ac

quiesced in it for the sake of Union, looking

hopefully to the period when new States would epring up in Kansas and Nebraska,

from which slavery was forever excluded.

Thirty-four years rolled around, and no section sought to disturb the repose which that

Act had secured. But now how changed?

Within a single year the South ban spit upon

her own plighted faith and trampled in the dust the bond of her sacred honot ! Not sat

isfied with the privilege of voting slavery into

Fre Territory, she claims the right to fiqht it

in I Slavery has sent upon the unprotected

pioneers of Kansas, mobs from Missouri arm

ed with the weapons of death to fasten upon them, against the popular will, the institution

which even Henry Clay stigmatized as th

"greatest of human evils!" i hese lawless ac

are endorsed by the Slave States. Some of

them have already declared their purpose to

give aid to the Missounans, and to dissolve the

Union if, when slavery is secured to Kansas,

thus she is not admitted to occupy a positio

of sovereignity equal to that of every other llieilllier Of lm) - 1-rrmiy! Til nUort. wo

she could not attempt to do without dislurb-

ng tne peace and harmony of the Union."

v hat reliance, then, can bo placed on the

assertions of a man who thus ruthlesslv dis

regards the truth of history, and falsifies the

public records of the country?' Such men, if

it could, serve their selfish ends would call

Washington a tory and Jesus Christ animpoater. But what else could we expect from one who voluntarily places himself in the

same category with STRiNGFELLOw,,'-vho re

turns brag for bullying aud, threatens to become an outlaw in order to suppress a mob?

"TJwse lawless acts are indorsed ly the slave

Stales." '.. ;

How a man with any. remnant of respect

for truth left in him, could make this wlioletah

assertion is astonishing to ns.

To brand fifteen sovereign States as the ad

v oca tea of anarchy and misrule, because a few

hot-headed editors, badly informed of the

facts, have defended Strtnclellow, is

unworthy of any man who makes any claims

to fairness and justice.

Wright and others. The editor of the Press must try again; all is false, every word, line and sentence. Judge Blackford never gave any opinion on the Bubject of the Temperance law. Gov. Weight never prepared any veto message. The Governor does his own thinking, writing and talking. Judge Blackford was appointed to his present office at Washington, by President Pierce,' aud not by the influence

of any man from Indiana, cither Senator or

otherwise. We should think after the number of mes

sages, veto messages, prepared by Gov.

Wright, and published during the last six years, upon the various interests of the country, that the Greensburgh editor must have known

that no one man in Indiana would believe his

story that Gov. Weight had other men to think for him. We think the public will

sustain us in tho remark, that Gov. Weight

is a man of labor, of industry, and but few

men in any community equal him iu the

refuse to pledge the powers of the Government to the extension and perpetuation of

these assaults, let the hazard be what it may.

and Slavery, this fair land bo drenched in blood.

" JJte Missouri Compromise thus projosel ly

tJtf South and eanied by her united votes."

Lot us see how this statement harmonizes with the truth of History. Hilpreth, (au

thor of the White Slave,) in his History of

the United States, (vol. G, p. 089,) says that

the Compromise was proposed by Thomas, of Illinois, a northern Senator; and it is well

known that the Legislatures of Virginia, Ken

tucky and Maryland, memorialized against

any prohibitory clause.

Jchs Rasdolph indignantly denounced

the Compromise "as a dirty bargain," by which the South had surrendered her rights. When the vote was finally taken, it appeared

that in the Senate out of twenty-two northern

vote, twenty were cast in favor of the Com

promise and only two against it ; while in

the House out of one hundred northern votes,

ninety-five were cast in favor of it, and only

five against it On the other hand, of twenty-

two southern Senators only fourteen, and of

seventy-six Representatives only thirty-nine voted for the Compromise. (Appendix to Congressional Glnbe, July Gth, 1850.) Speaking of the Compromise in 1848, Mr. Calhoux said: "After an arduous struggle of more than a year on the question whether Missouri should come into the Union with or without restrictions prohibiting Slavery, a compromise line was adopted between the North and South; but it was done under circumstances which made it no wise obligatory on the latteT. It ia true it was moved by one of her distinguished citizens, (Mr. Clat,) but it is equally so that it was carried by the almost united vote of the North against the vote of the South; and was thus imposed on the latter by superior numbers in opposition to her strenuous efforts. The South has never given her sanction to it, or assented to the power it asserted. She was voted down and has sim-

rupture is said to be complete. The passage of the church-property bill is the cause of es

trangement We do not know tho particu

lar j of this bill; but an effort has long been! making by the bberals to destroy the inde

pendence of tho clergy, and make them as, in the English establishmer-t, the mero puppets' of the State. Whatever men may think of

the Roman Catholic religion, and however

great may be the abuses engendered by wealth

in the priesthood, no statesman will regard the wholesalo confsication of property designed

for and to a certain extent applied to charita

ble uses with approbation. Tho resources thus diverted from their legitimate channel are squandered by corrupt politicians among themselves.

The Engli.sh noblemen in tho days of Hekrt 8th who received the revenues of the

Church were no better, ieihaps not so good, as the abbots and monks whom they succeeded.

The Spanish government, it is said, is en

dangered by popular outbreaks ; and that socialism has spread rapidly among the working classes of the Spanish peninsular. The Journal of Commerce says:

"A correspondent from Paris of tho London Times, who is usually well instructed concerning Spanish affairs, expresses fears that a close union has been established between the Carlists of Spain and the Legitimists of Franco on one side, and the Mazzinian and Kossuth party on tho other, the whole cemented to gether by Russian mediation, for the purpose of overthrowing, at all hazards, the pres. ent Spanish government, no matter what other may spring up in its place. It is believed that whether Republicanism or Carl ism should be triumphant, the blow would be none the less deadly at the authority of Louis Napoleon, who from different caunos is equally hated by the Legitimists of Europe protected by the Czar, and by Red Republicans, against whose intrigues his firm rtde oiiose8 an in

superable barrier. The Times correspondent states that many days before the is?ue of the Ckas decreeing the general armament of the Russian Empire, it was announced by a Legitimist in the South of France to a friend, that

such a step was to be taken by the Russian Government, and that "the time was fast approaching for the overthrow of the present ruler of France, and for tho restoration of the legitimato sovereigns of both France and Spain!" These obselete aspirations will not be realized, but they may cause great future trouble, and even bloodshed. Italy is uneasy ; Portugal is not setted; Franco is divided into factions, which, though kept in awe by the Emperor, are none the less hostile to his sway; Prussia, the Rhine Provinces of Germany, Hungary, and Lorn bard y, are undermined by Red Republican intrigues; and all the prudence and wisdom of European statesmen is needed to avert a 6torm, more or less distant, the effects of which may be far more terrible than those w hich have been occasioned by the Eastern War.

Magaxiue on Russian

Policy.

Blackwood for Julv contains the first of a

scries of articles on the imperial policy 0

Russia. It takes the ordinary and hackneyed

ground of charging encroachment and aggression as a settled plan of the Czars. Every

sovereign and every government in the world

have shown a desire to increase their posses

sions, but great Britain and the United States

have manifested, perhaps, the strongest pas

sion for territorial acquisition. holesalc

abuse of Russian ambition comes with a very

bad grace from England.

The writer thinks that the very existence

of ' Sebastopol is a proof of guilty purposes.

that it was evidently built solely for th

shelter of an aggressive fleet. Its place on

the map, in his opinion, condemns it, so situ

ated that from it a blow could be struck most

quicklv and effectively on the vital parts 0

Turkey, and the fleet which struck the blow

most quickly and readily withdrawn into shelter before the avenger came.

This may be true, Sebastopol may have

been built against Constantinople; and yet it

is equally true the Czar has had several opportunities to seize tho city of the Golden

Horn, and has not done so. On the contrary when Syria and Egypt were in open rebellion against the Saltan, the Czar assisted him. Th writer alledges that until recently Russia has endeavored, by various means, to keep her policy out of sight; but her very reasonable refusal at Vienna to agree by treaty to limit her power and resources he regards as a throwing off of the mask; and intimates that she was encouraged to do this by the brave defence of Sebastopol, by the fault-finding tone ol the English press towards their own Government, and by Vie cltance of Vie assassination of Louis Xapolcon, the attempt at which (says this English writer) certainly took place under circumttanccs of great mystery. This insinuation

that Russia was jarticcps crimenis in that transaction is unjust, ungnerous aud wholly unfounded, and a singular illustration of the

violence of political and national quarrels,

Tho reviewer thinks Russia particularly dangerous, because her people are possessed with what he considers a Monomania of submission to their sovereign. His description

though, uo doubt, exaggerated is worthy of

quotation.

"If a dog, the most submissive of animals to legitimate power, is cruelly and unjustly beaten, he will turn sometimes on his master;

not so a Russiau he will kiss the knout that

flays him. If acting in obedience to orders, ho" is much more dangerous than a wild

beast "The Spanish bull in the arena mav be di

verted from his mark, by his attention being

turned away to some other source of persecu

tion; an Arctic voyager or sportsman, wheu he sees a wounded bear bearing down on him, may throw down bis weapon or his glove to

save himself from hugging; but woe be to him against whom a mass of Russian is impelled They are as passive and as merci

less as a locomotive. On they go, one over another, like the buffaloes in the Western

wail ie.s. - If tim Art4i nerLdi. .the hind

most will not turn back, but make a bridge

of their bodies, and thus the buffaloes get

over the rivers and the chasms, and the Russians over the obstacles in their campaigns. It is, certainly, a serious thing to fight with a nation with whom men are of no more account, than gabions and fascines: and it is well for us that it is not so much loss of men as by lo?s of money that the fortunes of the war will le decided." In this connection an anecdote of very doubtful authenticity is told that the Grandduke Cosstastise could, to show off the sub-mis-siveness of the Russian soldier to a stranger, while standing at a review, pass his sword through, the foot of an officer and withdraw it, without exciting remonstrance or cry of pain, or even, as is said, without his victim flinching. This is reported to have happened at Warsaw in the nineteenth century, and in the reign of the mild Alexander. Tho reviewer concedes one point which has been elaborated by Gcrowski, viz: that the natural teudency of Russia U eastward and that her conquests ia western Europe have been accidental. Writing of Ivan, he says: "Thus il seems that he wished to be recognized as the heir of the defunct Greek soverinty, and the master de Jure if not de facto, of Byzantium. These are important facts, bocause they show that the idea of the acquisi

tion of Turkey iloes not merely date from the time of Peter, but has been a fixed principle of action w ith Russian sovereigns ever since the fall of the Lower Empire. We canuot help considering the other encroachments of Russia on the map of Europe as in a measure incidental, brought about by an unforscen concurt ence of circumstances, at the same time eagerly caught at by the nation as a means to this one great end, the possession of Constantinople, and tho centralization of all the Russias and their dependencies in the great capital on the Bosphorus. This Iia been and is the one definite and distinct object of tho ambition of tho Czars, the avarice of tho courtiers, and the fanaticism of the ieople. That Russia or her sovereigns ever had any distinct design of conquering and absorbing the weft of Enrope we ean hardly believe, al

though such would doubtless be to her a consummation, devoutly to be wished. For instance, Germany was divided, bribed, and overawed, not with a view to immediate conquest, but with a view to silencing her protest against Russian asression; and here Russia has fully gained her oint. Only one thing wns wanted, the revival of the old an

tagonism between England and France a thing which seemed the easiest of all, but turned out, contrary to all expectation, the most difficult that Constantinople should be

(From l! Cincinnati PrW Cnrrut J The Wheat Crop. It is a difficult matter to determine what an average crop, reduced to bushels, would amount to in any Stab, for the reason that statistics, collect I under tho authority of Government, have been exceedingly defective. The yield of 1850, according to the census return-., was, in round numbers, 54.-

000,000 bnshels, in the States of Ohio, Penn

sylvania, 2s ew lor and lrginia, but an average crop in those States is esumated at about 75,000,000 bushels. The crop of tht present year, however, is slightly below the latter. The severe douth of last summer and fall prevented fanners from sowing the usual amount of eeed, and it is generally admitted that the breadth of land planted ia less than usu 1. The increxsed yield or acre, and the improved quali:y, make up in jftrt, however, for this decrease, and it is safe i estimate tha yield of the fo tr States named at 05,'M,aO bushels, which, though ll.-w an average, is an increase as compared with lt yvr ot at least 15,000,000 bushels.
