The UNITED STATES Invited TO JOIN
RUssIA.--Geo. Sanders, Esq, the rejected
U. S. Consul at London, received lately, il
is said, according 10 the Baltimore Sun, a
letter from distinguished Russian diploma
tist, inlimating that England and France
will soon become united rivals 10 the United
States, and urging the latter to join Russia
against those two powers. The writer makes
an adroit appeal 10 the commercial jealo-
sizes Of our country, and hints are held out
of the great service which Russia can render
the world by re establishing Polish indepen,
dence, and by checking the supremacy
which England is rapidly acquiring over 9TH
er nations. He also says:
Russia is the best friend America has at
this moment, and America can help her in
the work Of regeneration. America has
money, and Russia is in want Of it; and no
doubt Russia will be glad to contract debt
with America at the rate of six per cent
not by obtaining cash, but fol- cash worthin
ships, and the means Of keeping up the war
with those who oppose her. America can
build her ships to any extent, large and
small, and American ships can take out
Russian seaman for them, as passengers,
which neither France nor England can pre-
vent. England would break with France
tomorrow, could she go back 10 her original
position with Russia; but this she must not
be permitted to do, It the world has right
TO be free! She fears America, but she
does not respect her, and trust the people
of the United States are not blind to
this fact; and they never had better op-
portunity than they have at this moment 10
teach England 10 understand her duty.
