WEDNESDAY MOHHTNO.KOV.8S.1870
The New York Republicans are repeat
ing the history of the New York demo
crats when the democratic party was ir
power. They are no better, no worse,
than the old Hard Shell and Soft Shell
factions, and the other factions, that have
always kept the politics of the State in an
uproar.
Hie alliance of the Gratz Brown re
publicanswith the democrats in Missonii
has given that State into the hands ot the
latter. The enfranchisement of the rebels
will make the democracy strong enough
to laugh at Carl Schurz and Governor
Brown if the latter think to draw off their
forces from the coalition and act in future
with the republicans. The logic of their
course is to continue to act with the demo
crats, but Schurz denies that he intends
to.
Carlyle says that a Continental philos
opher locates Thought in the head, but says
that “Poetry and Religion are products oi
the smaller intestines.” A look at much
of the poetry floating through the papers
and asking publication at the printing
offices, would seem to corroborate the
assertion as to poetry.
TUB RUSSIAN QUESTION.
The question raised by Russia in the note
of GortschakofF, declaring that the Czar
will no longer be bound by the treaty ot
1856, rises above the eonlliet of arms in
France, and dwarfs all other national ques
tions before the world,. Should it result
in war, all Europe will be interested and
actively engaged in the struggle, England
being the chief champion of the Turk and
defender of tho endangered treaty. Where
Prussia will ca?t her strength is left to
conjecture, but she can probably do Rus
sia no better service than to continue the
war with France. What Bismarck may
say to the Ambassadors of England who
undertake to make him disclose upon the
subject and commit himself to an alliance
against Russia, is of no consequence so
long as the war with France goes on.—
That is not merely a pretext, but an un
answerable argument against his becoming
a party to such an alliance. By this Prus
sia not only will keep out of the eastern
fight, if it comes, but prevent France like
wise from entering into it. What can
England reasonably object when Bismarck
points to Paris .and informs Granville that
he has business enough on his hands in
that direction at present, and cannot enter
the' lists against the Czar ? Here, then, by
this web of war woven by Napoleon, are
two of the allies of 1853 bound baud and
foot, and if the treaty of 1856 is main
tained, it must be done without them un
less the war in which they are engaged
ceases. Prussia might end the war sud
denly by yielding what she claims, which
she is not likely to do for the sake of enter
ing into an unremuneralive war with Rus
sia; nor will France care to dishouor her
self by an ignoble and costly peace with
King William in order to join in u useless
crusade to curtail the power of the Cos
sack on the Black Sea. The whole ques
tion of war or peace rests with England.
If she dares to light there will be war; if
not, then peace.
pride would be best satisfied to have the
treaty maintained, and feels that it would
be humiliating to allow the ease to go by
default while she has an army and navy
idle, and no apparent entanglement which
she can give as an apology for not defend
ing her honor. A Congress of nations is
talked of to deal with this ugly question,
but with Prussia and France neutralized,
such a meeting would make a poor show
and accomplish nothing. It is rumored
that the United States Government will be
invited to attend such a Congress, should
it be held, but the policy of our govern
ment is entirely averse to such a step, and
we shall wisely allow the European pow
ers to manage their affairs while we attend
to our own. One thing is as certain as
the rising of the sun, that should England
put her foot into a war with Russia before
settling the Alabama claims, our people
will take satisfaction to the amount of both
principal and interest for what is due us
in that matter. The moment war is de
clared, if it shall be, between Russia anti
Englnnd, the settlement of the Alabama
account will begin, and we shall ee if it
makes any difference with John Hull
whether he is the one to gore or be gored.
With his fleets engaged in .the Black Sea,
and his energies tasked in the struggle
with the armies of the Czar, his mer
chantmen on every sea will be exposed to
privateers, sailing under the flag of Rus
sia, but built and manned no matter where,
as far as England is concerned, so that
they are as honestly built and manned
and sailed as the Alabama, because against
complaint or demand of satisfaction on
account of the damage which such rovers
may do her llag and commerce, she has
forever sealed her lips by her own con
duct toward us. Let a war continue four
years as the rebellion did, or the half el
it, and the commerce of England would
be swept from the seas, and wo should
have full satisfaction for every loss occa
sioned by the Alabama. We need seek
no war, nor hast}-settlement, nor annexa
tion of Canada, on account of the Alaba
ma claims, for wc are in no peril by rea
son of their standing, but our policy is t<
wait and let justice come, as it is sure t<
come, sooner or later, in the natural ordiu
at things. England dreads it more to-da)
tiuui a free light wit h Russia, and if sin
backs out from the support of the treat)
that she aided to force on the Czar, it wil
be through fear of retribution for the pirates
she sent against u*. Appearances art
that she will make no fight, that Russia
will have what she nsks, ami that she w ill
close the Alabama business and solemnly
swear never to be found in the liao again.

her a blow on the head with his axe, and was
about pulling her out when he was surprised

bear which, before Mr. Kimball could finish
