ly esteemed merchant in this city. Al
thoagh not written eipre*sly for publica

writer, will commend his observations, to

indeed, will good have betn evolved from

encountered the war:
Tribizoso, March 13, 18&5
I see from t!.e editorials of certain
American newjpij.ers &nd the pubiistjed
accouriU of public Ita'Ures, that in botne
qusrtsrs there are strong sympa hies with
Kussts in the pres«nt conflict of the na
tions. Now it is not prrhaps strange that
the sympathies tf many merely political
men should g- out in that direction. And
indeed, when religious men take a firat
glance at the Allies fighting for the Cres
cent against the Cms*, it is not very
strange that their sympathies should be
with the Cross. But to us mi«siunjries it
does seem strange that intelligent Chris
nans, editors, lev.lurer^?, ihe friends and
supporters of mUbiono, should wish fur
the success of the Czar. Do they not
know that Pr»t«*tant misHons cannot re
side in Kussh Do they not know that
but a few years ago, both Pro'»*tiatit and
Catholic misMonjnus were expelled from
the Russian territory Do they not know
that it was stated not long aiuce iu the
British Parliament tiut one of the causes
which have precipitated this wnr w ts the
spread of Protesiantism in Turkey, to
c" eck which was one object of the C/.ar
Do they not know that if Turkey should
fall into the hand* of Russia, that pvent
would be the signal for the deparure of
every American missionary from the l.ind?
Are they wishing to see us all comc flock
hie home again and leave our work here,
which haa cost so much of lif« and ex
pense, to be destroyed If they ar»
wishing for this, we are not. We are not
willing tc see the work of many years de
molished under the tramp of the great
northern bear. We are not willing to see
the many little rising Protestant commu
nities which are now dotting this Empire,
after being delivered from the wrung*and
persecution of the Armenian* and in
great measure, from the oppression of the
Uohammeduns, handed over to the Rus
sians, to have tbe life-blood of Christianity
crushed out of them.
"And. after all, this fighting for the Ores
Mjtf and againtt ths Crost, is more in ap-
.-V,
number of Special Notices will

Tat
than reality. Every one
nows that the independence of Turkey
is virtually gone—that the toleration of
v ».i' t/}ii»m and the various reforms
•which hav.- been introduced into the Em
pire «jt i years, are of foreign origin,
and i.»«t '*e affapring of any thing either

And if tbtie it hyperbole in this remark.
Amirjcaw Naw»PArKR«i.—In the 0n»te«l
SUfe* there is not a more faith! ul guardi
an of public interests then the public jour
nals, and much a* is the freedom of the
pre*s abused in our country by libellous
by Representative* iu Congress and so
far from being independent of Congress
ional influence, the public preas was
looked upon as a mere seeundary ergan—
a sort of helpmste to Congress aad Con
gressmen.
But thf press is no longer a mere
mouth-piece for members of Congress it
is fulfilling a higher, a nobler des'iny.—•
Congress no longer rules public opinion.
