Religious Newspaper Controversies

Baltimore, to judge from the columns
of the Clipper, has for some weeks past
been in stew over war of elimination
and recrimination between lots Of dispu-
tatious gentlemen, who from praising
their own creeds and practices in the
public prints, have got to abusing those
of others, with even more zeal. Such
controversies so conducted, only serve as
arguments from which scoffers draw
ammunition for their war against all re-
Ggions and creeds. They debase the
character of the christianity of our land,
being replete with evidence that the
writer's are filled with pride. envy,
blgotry, prosecuting spirit and all per-
vading NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which
make their pretentions to be defenders of
the true faith absolutely blasphemous, as
it were. Turk never abominated chris
tan in the dark age of the Crusades,
when christian, too, fancied he was
serving the Lord by cutting the threats
of those who failed to believe as he did, J
with more apparent relish, than seems to
be manifested in the spirit with which
this Baltimore controversy is carried on.
What good for the community is to
come of it, we cannot imagine. Gentle
men, we pray you moderate your zeal, if
but for the sake of the pure and holy
cause you are all bringing into contempt
in your efforts for it's indications. Your
are all fighting shadows, gentlemen.

Russia and Turkey,

The hour at which we yesterday received
per telegraph, the Arabia's important
ws,prevented us from commenting upon
1t. 1t tells the tale, we take it, of the be-
glnlng of a war, the end of which the
mind of man knoweth not. All the civil
llzed world unite in the belief that since
the days of the truly great Peter, Russia
mas been preparing to act towards Turkey
as she seems now about to act. The
times seems propitious for her bloody, I'M
Just and monstrous intended crime. Yet
we hope and believe that she has greatly
mistaken her occasion. Her cabinet are
calculating strongly upon the apparent
complete subjugation of all the various
peoples ofthe European continent know
Ing too, that her aggrandizementxo any
point she may desire, is the interest of al,
the European reigning families. We are
not among those who believe that the last
unsuccessful efforts of the peoples of Eu-
rope to obtain their political and civil
nights, have served really to discourage
them. On the other hand, we conceive
that they have merely served to impress
upon them the belief that by acting in
concert, sacrificing individual interests
for the time being, and coming forward
to the work with more unity of will, they
must succeed in putting down those who
would perpetuate the chains of civil and
political disabilities under the weight of
which they groan.
Now, IN this eastern contest, Austria
and Prussia, or rather the governments
Of those countries, must stand with the
Gar, who owns them, politically; for
they only live, move, and have their being
IN his will and pleasure. France and
England are bound, sooner or later, to
side with Turkey; not only from their
commercial necessities, but because popu-
lar will with them is all powerful. The
sympathy of the English for Turkey is
truly philanthropic and patriotic, while
that of the French grows out of their ha-
tired for Russia and their national desire
TO engage in great war with some power,
without being particular as to what power
it may be.
The war-cry with which England is to
enter into the contest cher aristocratic
government being forced into it by popu-
lar opinion at home) will be-down NTH
dsspotism! How long will England be
fighting Russia with that motto practi-
cally emblazoned on her every banner.
before it does its work on the people Of
all Germany and Italy, who are every
where kept down Tor q tranquil" as the
bulletins express it, only by the bayonets
pointed at their breasts as they pursue
their daily business avocations.
The great day of reckoning is fast ap-
preaching, or we arevery much mistaken.
The ambition and selfishness of Russia
are to be the instruments or causes firing
the train which is in the end to consume
the elaborate superstructure of special
privilege under which the toiling millions
Of Europe now chafe with ten-fold more
Impotence than they manifested ten years
ago, when they were comparatively igno-
rant of the ease with which, by thorough
combination and a properly arranged
effort, they may obtain their liberties.
