spirit we shall hear again. When will
the friends of peace in America be
reused to like zeal and liberality?
The following resolutions were adop-
ted by the meeting
i. That it is the special and solemn
duty of all ministers of religion, pa.
rents, instructors of youth, and con
ductors of the public press, to employ
their great influence in the diffusion of
pacific principles and sentiments, and
in Graduating from tho minds of men
those hereditary animosties, and polit
ical and commercial jealousies, which
have been so often the cause Of disas
trous wars.
2. That, as an appeal to the sword
can settle no question on any principle
of equity and right, it is the duty o
governments to enter into treaties OF
behalf of the nations they respectively
represent, binding the parties to refei
to the decision of competent and i'm
partial arbitrators such differences a
rising between them as cannot be ami
cably adjusted, and to abide such de
cision.

Threatening Aspect of European Affairs.

For long time, the agent of Rus
STA has been urging the demands of
bis master upon the weak and vacilla-
ting Government of Turkey. His very
first introduction to the Turkish Court
was accompanied by studied personal
insult, and his continued presence and
purposes in Constantinople have been
regarded with extreme uneasiness, by
many European powers, and especial.
ly by England and France At last
the Porte was rendered the "ultima-
tum" Of the Gar, and its refusal to
accept it, needs no interpreter. 1t
could not have refused, it seems to us,
without an unmistakable pledge on the
part of England and France to stand
by the Sultan's decision. This is the
statement of the fact as regards Eng
land, for it has been officially made in
both Houses of Parliament.
Removed as We are in this countr,
from the scene of all this politica
wrangling, it is Of course impossible tc
Judge what will be the effect of the pc
sition assumed respectively by Turkey
and the two great Western powers
Judging, however, from the known
spirit and line of policy of Russia, il
would seem impossible that this matter
can stop where it is. She is a grea
and arrogant power, and bears no goot
will, either to England or France. She
had set her heart upon certain conces
sions from Turkey, and had demanded
them, giving her imperial "ultimatum.
To be blufed by Turkey on the strength
of good hackers, cannot but annoy ant
irritate. We shall look with interes
for the settlement of this question, 70
we believe it is destined tc be diff
cult one Springfield Republican.

good deal of noise prevailed at thi:
time, and on the McGill street side o.
Craig street some difficulty with the

or three shots were fired. In other re-
spects all seemed peaceable. The

is understood that additional troops
have been ordered from Texas to New

mics of the Eighth Infantry. The two
Companies Of Light Artillery already
in New Mexico are to be equipped

high authority 1 am informed that the
Administration expects no war with
Mexico on the present questions, but,
nevertheless, is resolved to have plenty
of men and guns on the frontier. 1t
is clear that high tone is to be adop-

Change in the Faculty of Middlebury
College.

At meeting Of the Corporation Ct
Middlebury College, held last week, Rev
GEORGE NyE BoARDMAN, We are gratif
ed to learn, was chosen Professor OF
Rhetoric and English Literature, in
place Of Professor j. ID BITTINGER, re-
signed. To those who are intimately
acquainted with Mr.. BoARpMAN, this ap.
poiDtmcnt will appear particularly ap-
propriato and jjudicious. For deep and
thorough scholarship, patient and perse
yering research, and broad and enlarged
views ON all intellectual and moral sub
jects, We believe he has few superiors, OF
his age, among the scholars of New Eng
land.
Mr.. BoARDMAN is graduate Of Mid
dlebury College, of the class of lS47
For the first two years after his gradua
ton be was Tutor in College. At the ex-
piration Of that term, he entered the The
illogical Seminary at Andover, where be
completed the usual course last year.
Since then, he has remained at Andover
as resident licentiatc, preaching occa
sionally at Bennington and other places
The selection of a young man, and
a graduate of the college, for this posi-
ton, seems to us as it should be. 1t will
be particularly acceptable, We think, to
the more recent graduates, and satisfac'
tory to all interested in the college, as
Mr. BoARpMAS becomes more univer-
sally known.
On the day of Dir. Boardman's cleo
tion to the Profess0rship, the Congrega-
tional Church in Danvers, Mass, to
which he has been preaching for few
weeks, gave him a call to settle with
them in the ministry, offering him sal
AIRY of $1,000, with the promise that it
should be increased if necessary.
II is q gratifying proof Of Mr.
Boardman's attachment to his Alma
Mater, that he concludes to accept the
