Turkey is now maxim gsfor her independence :;
and above all, they sympathise warmly and
enthusiastically with the Hungarians, and are
fully aware how closely Magyar and Ottoman
interests are bound up together They long
for an opportunity of strikinga blow against
despotism, and on behalf of republican insti-
tutions they are full of zeal for the spread
of liberty and popular rule throughout Eu-

to fulfil, they believe that more just, glo-
rious and hopeful opportunity was never pre-
sented to them than the present. The retire
ment of England and France from the scene,
to leave Turkey to such fate as her own unai-
ded resources could command, would proba-
bly, be the signal for the immediate interfer-
ence Of our Transatlantic brethren; not per-
haps, as nation, but as volunteers. If Hun
gary were to rise, their Intervention would
be certain and Hungary aOouzd rise if Anne

state positively that men. money, and arms

neglected. Nor could we say them nay we
have pronounced Russia to be wrong, and we
could not interfere to prevent assistance be-

be assured that if the Americans did come
upon the stage, their proceedings would be
conducted in very different mode, and gui-
ded by a very different spirit from our scru-
pulous and timid policy-always hampered
by traditional ideas. always bound down to
official forms, always restrained by the fear
of too signal success, always confused,
thwarted. and enfeebled by ulterior conside-
ration. Now, should we be wise to throw.

opportunity for becoming a European Power,

Numbers among them have more wealth than
they can use, and long only for distinction.
AS people they are essentially ambitious,
propagandist, and n-glorious; military
fame, it has long been seen, is the road to high
Office and to public estimation; and the ad-
miral, the general ay, or the private indi-
vidual who should plant the national flag on
the batteries of Sebastapel, or drive the Rus
slams out of Bucharest, would, beyond all
question, find the Presidential chair ready
cushioned for him when he returned home.
Nor could their success be very doubtful.
They are the best sailors in the world, and
among the hardest soldiers; they could soon
get together navy powerful enough to de-
stroy that of Russia; they have boundless
wealth, and would not spare it were the ma
tionaI zeal once fairly reused and. as we
once before remarked, they present the most
formidable combination of qualities which it
is possible to encounter-the utmost hardi-
hood of savage life with the most unbounded
resources of civilization and science. We
ought to curb and battle Russia, therefore, if
only to anticipate America in doing so.
