Monsieur lie General il is by the order ofmy

letter TO your Exceency.
While the sublime Porte exhausted all means
of Cancellation 10 maintain at once peace and its
own independence, the Court Of Russia has not
ceased TO raise difficulties in the way Of any such
settlements, and ended with the violation Of trea-
ties--invading the two Principaties Of Moldava
and Wallachia, integralparts ofthe Ottoman En-.
pire. st
y True 10 its pacific system, the Porte, instead
of exercising its right to make reprsals confined
itself even then to protesting, and did not devste
from the way that might lead 10 an arrangement.
Russia, on the contrary, far from evincing cor
responding sentiments, has ended by rejecting the
proposals recommended by the august medlatlng
Courts--proposals which were alike necessary TO
the honor and to the security Of the Porte.
There only remains for the latter the indispen-
sable nccessty Of war. But, as the invasion OF
the Principalities aud the violation of treaties
which have attended il are the veritable causes OF
war as n last expression OF its pacific sentiments,
proposes 10 your Excellency, by my intervention,

tion Of these grayer matters with irresistible
,nirth at the attempt to read You and me ont Of
the democratic party, because, forsooth, we
choose to lift up our voice of remonstrance at
the official conduct Of this hitherto unknown,
but now selfmagni6ed mogul of the democratic
party. Who is this Goliah of Gath who has
brought reproach upon Israel, that he should
defy the armies of the living democracy? And
what If he cometh with sword, and with q
spear, and with shield? We come to him in
the name Of our party and the Constitution OF
our country, which he has de6ed. We acknowl-
edge no such Gamaliel, at whose feet we have
knelt and learned our democracy. We claim
TO be real stockholders in the democratic party,
and hold our claim to fellowship from higher
source than the political stockholders and
wicked spectators who, for sordid purposes,
now impudently assert their right to the highest
seats in the synagogue. Once upon a tipe inthe
old commonwealth Of Virginia, an eloquent but
meek and then almost ostfiendlessy young divine was
attempted to be trampled under foot by the in
science Of pretenders, and by the force of money

church. The day came--unobstrusively he
took his seat. Table after table had been en-
tertained, till at length, inspired with Christian
fortitude, he said within himself-it is the

without meaning lightly to liken worldly to
sacred obligations or rights, may zoe not exclaim

\ LEGAL ANECDoTE.-The following anecdote
used to be related by the Hon. Jeremiah
Mason of New Hampshire, and it is said to have
occurred at Portsmouth:
There is well known custom prevailing in
our Criminal Courts of assigning counsel TO such
prisoners as have TO enc to defend them. On
one occasion, the Court finding man accused Of
theft, and without counsel, said to wag Of a
lawyer, who was present, Mr.. -, please
withdraw with the prisoner, confer with him and
give him such counsel as may be best for his in
terests. The lawyer and client withdrew, and
in fifteen minutes the lawyer returned into Court
alone. Where is the prisoner z" asked the
Court g He has gone your Honor told me to
give him the best advice could for his interest
and as he said he was guilty, l thought the best
counsel could him give was to cut and run
which he took at once.

some of the scholars as detectors. Not long sf-

John said he would agree to that, and imme-
diately called out G. S, 7. D., andD. P. The
Doctor told them TO return a verdict, which, af-
ter little consultation, they did as follows;
- The Masters rules must be observed-must
be kept invioate. John must receive the threat
ened punishment of six blows Of the ferula but
it must be inflicted on volunteer proxies and we

ceiving ourselves two blows each :"
John, who had listened to the verdict, stepped
up TO the Doctor, and with out-strctched hands
exclaimed
. Here is my hand they shan't receive

The Doctor, under pretence Of wiping his face,
shielded his eyes, and telling the boys to go to
their seats, said he would think Of it."
He did think oft to his dying day but the
