supposed that with Huch larger force in the
field, and encoa eyed b the presence of the
sons Of their monarch, the Russians will have
taken their recent defeat 50 much to heart as
to be content to look despondingly on at the
efforts Of the investing army without attempting
again and again to relieve the fortress. The
effect of these repeated attacks will not only be
to impede the siege operations, but to SO weaken
and cut up the invading force as to finally COM
pei it to abandon all hope Of reducing the
place.
Whilst affairs are progressing thus slowly
and unsatisfactory for the allies in the Crimea,
their pro poets do not seem to be improving
on he side Of Germany. five are to believe
the German journals, Austria and Prussia have
at length come t. an understanding on the
Eastern question-that is to say, an openly
avowed one, for it is not quite clear that they
have MOI been all along carrying on an under
hand game, whilst making an ostensible parade
of their differences. 1t is affirmed that Austria
has agreed to abstain from any act in favor of
the policy of the Western Powers which would
give offence to Russian assertion which
derives probability not only from her traditional
fa,thlessness but from the direct personal in
terest whics she has in retaining possession of
The Priocipalities in the capacity of an armed
mediator. One Of the principal objects OF Lord
Palmerston's visit to Paris is, no doubt, to come
to some understanding with the French Empe
ror as to the measures which it may be neces-
sary to resort to to put an end to this cautious
attitude Of the two leading German States,
which is more embarrassing than their active
hostility, since it leaves them free to watch the
current of events and to cast their weight into
whichever scale the balance of fortune inclines.
In the presence of such facts, it becomes ne
cessary for us to prepare for the incidental in
fuerces which long protracted European war
is likely to bring to bear upon our political
and commercial prospects. On our judicious
employ ment of the chances that it will open to
US, will depend the most important branch of
the mission assigned to us as the propagan-
dists Of the democratic principle, whilst the in
fux which it will bring US, of population AND
capital, must contribute largely to our material
prosperity.

for the people to support him. we have

DO not base his claims to support on any

we believe that higher motives will actu.
ate men in voting for Superintendent,
than fealsy to party. The Independent.
opponent of the Democratic nominee,

for the Office, and his name stands out
pre-eminently as ore of our best men.

This important decision was made
yesterday aflernoon-a public meeting
of all the parties interested having been
held at Marion Hall in the morning, a.

claims of the northern line were clearly
and forcibly stated by Messrs. Ran

that nothing occurred to mar in any
