Those of the "a which did not core
fully look into the tenure and purport Of
the resolutions. say they now disapp:ove
them. They possess the libera.i,y 10 al
low their neighbors and friends TO differ
with them in political sentiment, and
still breathe free air; whilst those SO
bitterly denounced, loathe and despiSe
the fanatics, who palm off such stuff as
the real sentiment of tho citizens of
Marshall county.
Blu, suppose we waive the advantage
afforded us by the ridiculous position in
which their resolutions have placed them,
and admit for the sake of another view
of the matter. that they were intended
only to denounce Congressman. Is a
public agent who does what he believes
to be right. more censurable than those
who sustain him in his acts? There is
no difference between the principal and
his agent in this case. If there is any.
the principal is the most censurable.-
Therefore the odious sentiments of the
contemplate resolutions bear upon all
who favor the organization of Nebraska
Territory upo n the principles of Non in
tervention and popular sovereignty.
Some few Wings tell us that they do
not think it bartering any part Of their
political creed to subscribe to such doc
.rines. Ii this is true, we never kne W
anything about the creed of that party.
The citizens OF Marshall county pledged
TO carry out the spirit of the resolution.

sentative in Congress. shall form ony par

Russia and the United States.

G correspondence OF the N. Y. Tribune.
PARIS. Monday July 10. 1854.
Some curious and important intelli-
gence viii go officially to Washington by
the steamer Indiana, which leaves Havre
on Sunday next for New York. This in
telligence, relates 20 new movements
which Russia is about TO make, md TO
some important propositions which she
desires brought to the attention of the
American Government. These PROPOSE
tons are entirely neuteral, as regards the
present war. being questions that might
be considered In time OF peace as well as
now. A gentleman formerly resident in
the United States, late Conseiller De
Cour OF the Emperor Of Russia. has left
his position near the person Of the Ora nd
Duke Constantine. to go to Washington
United States Government.
The strong sympathy. amounting even
10 love, which The Court Of Russia man.
ifcsts towards the United States at this
moment. opens the way for negotiations
with that power on matters disconnected
with the war which may never occur
again. Russia desires American sympa-
thy, she has need of American money.
and so strong q hatred has lately sprung
up against England that she will sacri
flee much of her personal interests to ir-
ritate that power end 10 cripple her on
American soil.
There is without doubt, therefore, a
proposition on ITS way to Washington
having in view the cession Of mpor:an,
territory 10 the United States for a mon
ely consideration. as well as propositions
for the promo.. onssand extension of COM
mercial relations between the two cOun-
tries. Russia is making pre- partitions for
ten years war. on a scale of magnitude
which must more or less cripple her finan.
ces. notwithstanding her extraordinary
resources. and money friend such as
America will be almost indispensable to
her. The crisis through which she will
have TO pass will compel her to make
any sacrifice almost which may be de-
manded to secure such a friend. aud il
she can by ceedins territory secure sym
pathy aud money. and at the same time
thrust a thorn into the side Of England
she will readily do it.

PrOhibit0ry LaW.-As reasonable and
reliable position. we heretofore unequiv-
ocally denied tina: it was the wish of the
Wings who favored the enactment of a
prohibitory law. to defeat or promote
the success of either political party.
We have urged that in their nomina tons
each party could place in the field good
and reliable Temperance man. and in the
success of either, prohibitory law we 5
sure Of success. Our readers remembe
this. But what do recent Developments
prove? All the deception we have been
instrumental in palming off on honest
and unsuspectins Democrats. was not
with a view to deceive them. Other
wings and Wing presses urged the same
argument. But since new hobby has
been stabbed, and those Democratic TEN.
perance men have been asked not only TO
forsake party ties for the sake of pro-
hibitory faw. bu, to release one of the
main planks of their Democratic plat
form. and oppose popular sovereignty in
:he Territories. and relinquish their at
tachment to perpetuity of the Union.
we no longer urge our former position,
yet we still favor prohibitory law.
We look upon the temperance refoam
as one OF the main arteries of good and
wholesome society. Its advocates sho q
labor in Unison and in the bonds of the
most liberal fraternity. Ii any of the m
should happen to differ with their neigh
tors upon the subject Of d National Bank
