Europe has nothing 10 fear from their doings
The Baltic fleets relieve England and France
from the trouble Of defensive preparations. and
enable them 10 prosecute the war with NO
duties beyond those Of attack.
But the case is very different In the Black
sea. There all the aggressive designs OF Rus
STA are symbolized and exposed. Sebastopol
Is the material expression Of that very policy
which, alter keeping the powers OF Europe so
long III alarm, has at length driven them to
war. The main object Of this war, as now
plainly stated, is security for the future. Sc.
curity for the future can only be obtained by
the reduction of Russian power within its pro-
PEI limits, and il is in the Black sea most es
pecially that these proper limits have been ex-
ceeded. Sebastopol is the type as well AS the
instrument Of Russian aggression. The cap.
ture or this fortress would put the Ottoman en-
pire, the Asiatc coasts, and the Mediterranean
sea out Of all danger for many years TO come,
perhaps for ever. Its results would be almost
instantaneous. As soon as Sebastopol and its
fleets had fallen into the power of the allies,
the whole Black sea squadron would be dispo.
sable for other operations. The Turkish capi-
tai, the Circassian shore, and the mouths Of the
Danube, would then all be safe without any
further protection. The principalities would
become the battlefield, and the car might be
deprived of his material guarantee" without
much risk of his renewing the seizure. Such a
success too besides conducting directly the ter.
mination ofthe war; would, in itself, secure one OF
its principal objects. Nobody has ever asserted
that the retirement of the Russians from ST.
Petersburg is a necessary condition of Euro
pean tranquility. But the demolition of Sc
bastopol is plainly Indispensable, and even il
the car were at this moment to offer the evac.
uaton of the principalities, and the withdrawal
OF his demands upon the porte, the peace con.
cluded Oh such terms would be illusory and in
sufficient SO long as the stronghold Of the Cri-
mea remained intact. We cannot say that the
capture of Sebastopol would at once terminate
the war; but would be more likely than any
other operation to produce this effect, and
part from such an achievement there can be no
prospect of any true peace.
For these reasons we should rejoice to see
that the chief efforts of the allies had taken the
direction of the Crimea in preference to opera
lions on the other side OF the Danube. In that
quarter no power can act with such effect as
Austria, and a single straightforward resolu-
ton on her part would terminate the present
state of inactivity and suspense, would give
each of the belligerent powers its fitting duty,
and would at once bring the war to something
like nal issue.

RECENT ELECTIONS.

In North Carolina the vote for governor
stood for Bragg, democrat 4s,50o. Dockery,
whig, $4,000 This is the largest vote ever
polled in the State. The contest for supremacy
between the two parties was warm, active,
and embittered. The wings worked with All
industry worthy of better cause.
In Missouri, owing to divisions in the demo-
cratic ranks, produced by the imperious AFRO
gance and Unsuitable ambition of one man,
who, for more than thirty years, has enjoyed
the honors and emolaments Of Office, the de-
mocratic party was defeated. The contest was
triangular. The wings we're united and the
democrats split into two divisions. The result
has been a complete whig triumph. Accord
ing TO the ST. Louis Republican, six of the
wing candidates have been elected, as follows:
lst distrct--Luther NJ Kennett.
I'd Observation-Disclosures Porter.
Sd district--James ]. Lindley.
18th Observation-Disclosures Oliver.
5th district-John G.. Miller. ,..,.
18th district--Samuel Caruthers
Although we have not received the returns
from Iowa, there seems to be well.founded
apprehension that our party has also met with
disaster there. These defeats are melancholy
enough, but when the mode and means by
which they were occasoned are considered,
true democrats have more cause than ever to
be proud of their principles.

By bombarding tho city. Afier this act. Pro

in the British interests, be dismissed, instead,
both his ministers and the Cories.
Catalonia, Andalacia, Aragon, and Jalicia,
soon arose, and on the LIST OF July ls4s, the
revolutionary Junta Of Barcelona declared ihe
Queen of age and Espartero traitor TO the
country. AT the head OF the instruction stood
Narvaez, who entered Madrid on the I'D July.
On the 30th of July, Espartero embarked al
Cadiz, and landed at Falmouth, England, on
the 10Th Of August following. Though By the
Spanish decree of August 10th, deprived Of all
his titles and honors, he was received in Great
Britain with all the distinction due his rank a.
suppose that he has preserved some gratitude
for his hospitable entertainers.
Tho constitution of l637---the same which
Espartero maintained as Regent with SO much
vigor against both the Catholic hierarchy and
the Repubcans-is the one now proclaimed
in Madrid, and received with reclamation Ny
the people. 1t yet remains for me TO state that
Espartero enjoys the reputation Of being
free-trader, and that the rumor of his having
made a treaty with England, derogatory to the
manufacturing interest of CATALONIA, was the
chief cause Of the rising of Barcelona in ls43.
If as some assert, the revolutionin Spain is the
work of Russian intrigue, the return Of Espar-
tero was certainly not in the programme

next month they will hold convention at Sy-
racuse and follow the eKan;ple Of he wings Of
Massachusetts by nominating ticket for the
State election, adopting ultra freesoil and abo.
ltion sentiments, and Offering the wing organi-
cation of New York as the best that could be
devised to carry out the objects which the fa-
sionists wish to accomplish.
The Wings who were pledged to fusion at
Saratoga, will be represented at Syracuse.
Their leaders will be in attendance devising
ways and means to complete the work which
was commenced at Saratoga, by leading the
fasionists into the wing ranks. Thus far the
game has been adroitly played, The anti-sla-
very sentiment has been aroused by indamma-
tory appeals. All the anti-slayery factions and
bankrupt interests and tainted associations
have been stimulated by the hope that new
party was about to be formed which would
take no notice of past differences and divisions,
but look TO the slavery question as the only
question worthy of consideration. A conyen-
ton was set on foot to form the new anti-sla-
very league, and perfect an organization to
accomplish its objects. The wings urged on
the movement and took care to send wing del
egates sufficient to control the convention, to,
commit it to series of resolutions, and then to
force an adjournment without permitting the
formation Of a new organization. This was
done in order to make it necessary to join with
the wings or remain isolated and powerless.
Time will disclose how far this cunning game
can succeed.
