FROM THE BOSTON JOURNAL.
The Emperors of Russia from the time of Katherine
have, empire ward, taken steps forward back.
In that lapse of tme Russia besides acquiring Poland
has acquired coasts of the Black Sea-
including the mouths of the Danube, the Crmea, the
Caucasus and the dependant countries She has extend
ed her domnions farther east to enyeop the Cas-
plan Sea and its Persian tributaries whilst the country
beyond embracing the Aral sea, the oasis Of Khva and
the lower portions of the rivers flowing from the Afghan
istan mountains acknowledged her imperial sway
Her policy has been one of apparent mastery mac
tiyy, but with dead weight, for her movement
always constant is the result of a normal growth.
Are the proportions of the giant complete No. you
might well claim that those of the United States were
and you might with the success attempt to re-
press them Before these rounded off Russia must
and piH possess Turkey in Europe and Asia. She will
find her Ner Orleans in constantinople her Trds in Asia
Minor, and her Merco in Persia.
Louis Napoleon is doing exactly that which his immor
tai uncle would have done had England faithfully kept
the treaty Of Amiens He is aggrandizing France by
commerce, manufactures, and by natural products.
For commerce he wants colonies, or rather pro-
vinces for France
For manufactures he lacks these and for the
tion WARS being abated he requires ampier verge Can
he get what he lacks Yes He can and ,oH find his
Corsidntnopie and Ner Orleans in Alexandria his
Minor and Louisiana in Egypt; his Teas and Persia in
Syria, and his Panama in Suez.
Mark my words, Europe will neither baeome Republi-
nor Cossack but the horses Of the Cossacks and
the French Dragons will drink together in peace in the
] river Euphrates
Neither France Russia desire an inch Of Christian
European extension their territories That not their
policy Their faces towards the East where their
armies and fleets will be- They will unite to pre-
the integrity Of the Northern Germanic and Ial-
ian Powers. These viii remain in peace and become
wiser tolerant, and humane as the softenng
influences Of commerce and peaceful pursuits extend
ed and felt and the dangers Of umuls revolutions and
abated.
Bat what of England all this tme She sees we'll into
the future She knows that she arrest the pro-
gress of Russia and France Asia-ward She will give free
trade with all the world India and upon this score as
vel upon others place the United States lovingly by
her sde and thus limit the designs Of Russia and France
to the Afghanistan Mountains and the Persian Gulf and
prompted by good policy, these latter Powers will open,
versal commerce
Nor is there any thing be depored in all this, If 1t
come TO pass England Russia and France have their
worldwide missions to fulfil well the United States
New countries must be conquered chrstianized and civil
lzed Tue Cross must be advanced and the Crescent
beaten down Christs affairs and will be built up
on the fragment OF the false gons in Asia and Africa
as well as in America England has led the way the
United States have bravey followed on and now
too late Russia and France grdng themselves to fol-
low their manifest destiny
Can Christians deny the humanzne influences OF chris
uinity, civilization and commerce? II they cannot then
must they approve Of the position Of England the advance
Of Russia and the designs Of France In broad Asia the
acknowledged mother Of religion, Of the arts and
sciences, and Of our race O. E.. d.
