The intelligence by the Baltic although not
decisive of the question of ultimate peace or
war, shows that notwithstanding the military
array and imposing show OF armaments' by
the bclgcrants, there is an aversion to come
to blows, at least, on the part OF the emperor
of Russia, whilst the military demonstrations
of the Porte are evidently more in compliance
with the Eanatical impulses of those Aslatlc
hordcs which he has called from their native
abodcs than from his own inclination to enter
mon hostitirs. We have, therefore, hopes OF
peace, amidst all this parade of war. Its evil
dent that the Gar would gladly withdraw from
the embarrassing positionin which he has ? laced
himself That he cannot do so without the
loss of some share of the prestige which has
hitherto surrounded the throne OF Russia, Is no
less evident, especially if lie has t" abIIcate
the principaities which he has SD wantoniy III
vaded. The results have f.lsiiicd his forecast,
no less in the amount OF Turkish ply force
he has evoked than in the opposition and firm
resistance he has met with from the Western
nowcrs. Under these circumstances he would
rladly make an honorable retreat, if possible,
rom the false position in which he has laced
himself. - Chufcston Ercniny Nc~s.

ABOUT THE JUG. The Jug is a singular
untensil. A pail, tumbler, or decanter, can
be rinsed, and may satisfy yourself by opti-
cal proof that it is clean; but the Jug has
but little hole in the top and the interior
is all darkness. No eye penetrates it-no
by putting in water and shaking it up and
pouring it out. If the water comes out
clean, you may judge you have succeeded
in cleaning the jug, and Vics VersG. Hence
the Jug is like the human heart-No mortal
eye can look into its recesses, and you can
Judge only of its purity by what comes out
of it.

In conclusion, beg the indulgence Of the

taken inspeaking al this time tothem. And
may ask them to circulate this address and
take hold afresh of this theme, that we may

depending a copy of the platform and doc
trine agreed upon and unanimously adopted
at Convention of Kentuckians, held at Au-
gusta on the 2lstofJanuary. thread as fol-
lows:
ResoLved, 1st. That the utter impracti.
bility of limiting and controlling the traffic
in Ardent Spirits, and the use of them as a
beverage, within the bounds of temperance
and moderation, while they are tolerated at
all. is fully demonstrated by the failure of
all the repeated and various enactments of
the Kentucky Legislature which appear in
our statute books for the last sixty years.
RESOLVED, Cd. That the manufacture and
sale OF intoxicating liquors. except for med
ical, mechanical, and sacramento purposes,
should be entirely prohibited By Iaw
RESOLVED, Sd. That prohibitary law
should be enacted, providing for the seizure
and destruction of all intoxicating liquors
kept for illegal sale, by process of law as
speedy and summary as can be devised con-
sisteutly with the rights allowed persons to
a fair and constitutional trial.
RESOLVED, 4th. That the giving or loan
ing of spirituous liquor by any person to
any slave, other than his own or in his en-
ploy, should be regarded as an act of sale,
and treated accordingly.
Let these principles be studied, weighed,
and, if possible, improved on; and let us
come together and adopt such plans and
principles as the cause of morals, religion
and humanity demand at our hands. Sat-
isfed Of the rectitude Of our doctrines and
aims, let us invoke the guidance and pro-
lection of Divine Providence, and devote our
selves to their vindictation and their tri-
umph.
