r1oN.-The Delta says sit will be seer
that Senator Slidell, in his able speech
on the Neutrality Laws, maintains the
same position on the contest of Rus
STA against Turkey and the allied
Powers. for which we have all along
commended" He says:
"As between the rude and vigor.
Gus barbarism Of the Cossack, and
the effete nationality Of the Moselm, I
find no room for active sympathy,
scarcely even for an abstract per-
ference. The gratuitous and unwar-
ranted declaration Of our Minister, Mr..
Spence, in his presentation to the Port,
calls for something more decided than
areprimand. If made in the terms
stated in the newspapers, with every
appearance Of authenticity, there is
but one fitting remedy, his immediate
and unqualified recall. Should the
contest as many believe it will, Il am
not of the number,) be speedily de-
cided in favor Of the Western allies
Of the Porte, Louis Napoleon hav-
ing and continuing to WELD despotic
power, we may not only abandon all
hope of any early reaction in favor Of
liberal principles in Europe, but may
look to probable collision for which
we are by no means prepared
SINGULAR DREAM.-While Diony-

was yet in private station, lady of
noble family, Himera by name, dream
ed that she was admitted into heaven,
and there was a powerful man of a
swarthy and freckled complexion,
bound with iron chains to the throne
Of Jupiter. She asked the youth
who conducted her who this being was,
and was told that he was the dire fate
of Sicily and Italy, and that when ,
loosed from his chains he should oc-
casion the destruction of many cities.
This dream che published the next
day. After that, Fortune, hostile to
the liberty of the Syracusans, and in
jurous to the lives Of the innocent, had
hurled Dionysius, freed from the ce-
lestial custody, like a thunderbolt up
on their ease and tranquility Himeria !
beheld him entering the city in which
she dwelt, attended with crowd
she Immediately exclaimed, "This is
the man whom saw in my dream"
The tyrant Dionysius heard of this,
and ordered her to be put to death.
