Mr.. Marsh then went on 10 speak
Of the present contest between Russia
and Turkey. 1t is the groat pol;tieoi
question, as Slavery is tho groas NOR
al question, Of tho day. Our hopes
Of liberty from tho present contest
have thus far been disappointed The
reason is that all the powers Of Flu
rope are united in maintaining the
status quo. No exception can be made
in the case Of the English government,
Before France suppressed by force,
the Roman Republic, she consulted
England and was formally notified
that tho English Gorerasac,t had ~
objection. Lord Pahnerston aftor-
wards stated in I'arliament that tho
whole Cabinet agreed in '.his sympa.
thy with that most strocious act lof
dcspotism.r Thus far the Turks hayo
been left to defend themselves, and
they have done 1t gloriously. France
and England wait for Austria, not be.
cause thcy fear her, but because they
synpathize with her. In this sympa.
thy the English people do not share.
The English Government could not do
a more popular thing than 70 pro-
claim the emancipation Of Italy. q
The Christians Of Turkey ore main-
ly Of the Greek faith. Tho Greeks
have no idea Of nationality aside from
union of faith, Every man of their
religion, tha. is, who abhors gravcS
images and adorcs painted ones, is ,
Greek. They look upon the Ckar as
the great head and defender Of their
faith, and hence every Greek of6ciat
in Turkey is Russian Spy. The
Greeks, especially those Of Greees
proper, are the falses. aud mos. big
oted Of people. Their religion has no
connection with morality. Truth and
falschood are alike only rscans to an
end. Their enmity is strong against
both Catholics and Protestante. Ono
great cnd Of tho Gar, without doubt,
is to put stop to the success Of the
missions-to put i: in tho power Of tho
Greeks to perseeute and expel oil
protcstants. Ills great aim OF all is
to obtain Constantinoplc. Master OF

nean. In twenty years Russia, with
Constantinople, tho first seaport Of
Europe, perhaps of the world, in the
hands ola man like Nicholas, could
sweep the navies Of England sud
France firm the seas and dictate laws
to Europe. Next hs would put down

ton, and every occasion to stir up
jealousy between tile countries is i'm
proved. But it would be great mis-
take for US to quarrel with England.
Not that We need fear England, foT
we, weak us is our navy comparative
ly, are stronger than she--but because
she is after all tho great bulwark Of
liberalism in Europe, for her PEOPLE
are right-and with tho cheek on
Russia which sho interposes removed,
Ru.sia might give us trouble. She
could never cnslavo US, but could hA.
rass our sca.boa,d and in many wsss
seriously embarass our prosperity.
Our truo policy hen is that Of Wash,

nations, cntangIihg alliances with none.
Mr.. Marsh's remarks were listened
