THE WAR QUESTION. THERE'S no op.n war as yet
between the Turk and the Muscoyite; but peace now
hangs on, seemingly, so slender hair, that we pre-
sumo not even an honorary member of the Peace
Society will be disappointed should we be advised, at
any moment, that hostilities have actually begun.
War, itseems has been only half declared by Tur<ny
that is to say, it has been declared by the Grand
Council but the consent of the Sultan himeelf is still
wanting, to make it declaration complete. If there
is any truth in the multiplicity of coming to
US from Constantnople by telegraph and mall it
will not be long before the issue is made up; for it
Is difficult to see how the Sultan resist the clam
orous war pressure at home. The declaration of war
by the Dvan is said to be effect of this pressure
rather than the result of deliberate conviction of its
actual necessity. The Russian Bear meanwhile is as
quiet as lamb. His voice, lately loud for war,
Is now singing the praises of peace and good will
out whether he is sincere not is another question
England and France are reported to have renewed
hr assurances to the Russian Minister at Paris that
IL must not be expected of them to remain neutral
II hostiltes resoTted to. And the augmentation
9 their respective fleets in the Daranelles certainly
looks as if such assurance was something more than

Numerous resolutions were offered, on which
debate ensued
Mr. LooMIss resolutions came up aud that
gentleman resumed and concluded his remarks upon
the subject of the canals We give few closing para
crsphs 10 shew the drift OF his discourse.
So far said Mr. l.. his views had no partisan aspect,
be hoped the resolutions which he had proposed would
not be acted upon in a partisan light but with a view
tend 10 party for a moment. While the Wings may at
times have been wilngto expend larger sums in the
Canals than the Democrats the stter were DESTROYS Of
expendng oil they prdenty might for the purpose.
The difference between them not OF friendship
10 the Canals but il regarded only the Of carry
ing them Neither party could charge the other with
enmiy 20 the Canals They had agreed upon the eld
10 be attained and only differed 70 the manner OF
/ comprising this.
One question needed 10 be considered II the Canal
revenues will be increased by the Enlargement how far
will they be consumed by the increased expenditure
upon the samei The Canals had prospere1 with the
wants Of the country, and no more needed than
that il should continue 10 do The amOuntoi tunnage
has regularly increased from the frst. II the Canals
their largest capacity would thus at once
increase the tunnsge proportOnaely Would the Canal
be encountered with just debt the tolls could not be
/ reduced Other means must be devised for the En-
aTgement. The revenues must do this, and without
debt
There may be time like the present when il viii be
necessary raise specific by taxation, but the
people would not TO be largely taxed for the
iargement. Those willing 10 appropriate the largest
sums the canals not always their best friends.
The Democrats could not be charged with hostility TO
the canals If they willing eXpend all that could
properly be used He repudAed the charge Of the gen
tsman from Orleans (Mr Burroughs that the financial
article in the Constitution which he had advocated,
conceived any hostility 10 the canals.
We ought to provide for the present and not control
therevenues Of after years Future Legislatures should
have power 70 appropriate their own money. They
would but know their wants and could best supply
thsu. Letus exercise our own duties in the expendi-
ture Of our own funds ard permit subsequent Legsa
tures 20 do the same
The Committee had indicated their policy-it was for
