The New York Evening POST exercises
about as much influence over the the Demo-
cratic masses as any paper in the Empire
State. 1t has always been a leading Demo-
cratic organ, although of late years its poll
cy has been somewhat darkly tinged with
Frcesoilism. This, however, should not be.
and evidently has not been, Objectionable to
the present administration, for President
! Pierce has filled three -fourths at least of the
federal Offices of New York with believers
in the Freesoil tenets Of the POST SO
far as appointments 60, the Abolition doc
trines of the Post have been substantially
endorsed by the President. But the Post"
doesn't like the Washington Union, and thus
caustically takes up its article on ''the COM
plants of the Wing press alleged to be
preferred by the latter. against President
Pierce's appointments. The following par
agraph is rs true as severe: I'd -
1--WE have heard nothing of any Wing
complaints about the Administration, except
from the Washington Union That print
has been laboring with superhuons zeal for
some time to make the country believe that
the President has about as much as he can
do to get along against the current OF oppo-
sition which the Union is helping him to
stem. The fact Is, no better evidence of
the strength of the Administration could be
required than may be found in the slight
ness of the impression which the Unions
constant defence of it has produced upon
its popularity. We do not see but it is Just
as strong now as it was before the Union
commenced telling the country what no
body else had heard of, or would even have
suspected, that the Wing press of the coun-
try was making terrible ravages upon its
character. We remember once to have
heard a famous wag of this city say. during
the closing year of Tylers administration,
that he felt that his country was safe, for.
said he, "a Government that can stand such
a President as John Tyler. can stand any
thing We might say with equal proprie-
ty, that an Administration that can stand
the kind of support that President Pierce
has been receiving of late rom the Union,
is equally beyond the reach of Danger"
One thing is very certain; the Wings have
not complained at the remorscless proscrip-
ton that have been practiced towards them.
They have gone out of Office readily and in
dependently, with their accounts Iyuighk
on the books; and most of them feel better
since they have resumed their attributes of
sovereignty, we doubt not. But how differ
ent the condition of things from that which
existed four years ago! Then, the land
was filed with democratic wailings and de-
nunciations, although Taylor's administra-
ton had not removed more than one half as
many men as Pierce's. The Democracy
lamented as men who would not be comfort
ed, because their oticcS were not, and who
knew not, otherwise, how to make living,
save by picking from the public crib The
Wings are never in that category.

Affairs IN Europe.

BY the later advices from Europe by the Baltic
the dangers of war between Russia and Turkey
appear to be subsiding. The Vienna papers state
on the authority of teiegraphic information, that
the Russian Cabinet is willing to accept the me-
ditton of Austria: and it is said that Count Lein-
msen will be sent TO st. Petersburg on a special
mission to bring the matter to hearing.
In the meantime Emperor Nicholas has given
Official notice to the Western powers of Europe
that he entirely approves the course of Prince
Menchikof at Constantnople. and insists upon
the demands of which he was the organ. And
while disclairning the intention of making war
on Turkey, of turning the Sultan out of his do
mmlOns, he also gives Eotice that unless these de-
mands are granted, he will proceed to occupy
Moldavia and Wallacha, though he says he will
not march his armies into any other of the Turk
lsh provinces. To enter the Danuban principal
lheS, he claims a right under the Treaty endow-
Ing him with protectorate over them.
Upon this matter the New York Tribune re-
marks
That Treaty admits his forces across the Pruth
only when they are needed for the preservation
OF order in the princ paities themselves and then
1t is expressly declared that the Turks have the
night to march in equal force into the same ter
ntoIles. These stipuations do not afford the
slightest preteXt for the threatened occupation
and it cannot, therefore, be considered otherwise
than a declaration of war. On this head we
cannot, however, expect definite intelligence be-
ioIe tne arrival oil the collins steamer which VIII
sail from Liverpool day after tomorrow, and may
be expected here by Sunday July 9,--as the En-
perors final decision was not expected to reach
London before to-dayn
The British and French fleet have about forty
Sal, with 1000 guns, at the entrance of the Dar-
Canelles, ready on the receipt of orders from the
ambassadors OF their respective Governments al

commence operations, offensive or defensive
Inc Russian Black Sea fleet consists of about 80
sail, with some 1900 guns Their vessels are
comparatively ill-manned and not match for an
equal French or English force
In regard to the probabilities of war, the Tri
bune says:
1t Is possible that the Emperor Nicholas may
% INTO IT. in spite of the counsels of the veteran
NeSselrode, and others of his Oldest and hitherto
most influential advisers His obstinacy anc
SsanIty may outweigh all the suggestions of pru
ue9Gce, and push him into this new crusade. Pos
%Tly ne may reject every compromise, and refus'
oil mediation in his desire to possess Constant
iople But we wait for more decisive intelligence
