RUSSIA AND HER ENEMIES. The
New York Mirror, in discussing the
aspect of European alf;irs, says:
The chances Of Russia look des-
perate, iDs far better would it be nl-
timately for liberty and civilization,
that her boundaries were unbroken,
than that the enlightened despot--
ism of the old throne-proppipg allies
should prevail. Such is our judg-
ment. Russia would be more tol-
cradle master of Europe, than France,
England, and Austria.
"But one thing must be confessed:
there is no rude power of numbers,
of stone walls, that can stand before
the modern science Of war as prac.
ticed by France and England. The
myriad armies of the old Persians,
Carthagenians, Greeks, and Romans,
With their elephantsand scythe-armed
'hariots, could not have resisted for
IN hour such force as the allied
generals commanded

the Welchmar, the Englishman, the
Irishman, or the Polander, who made
these conditions. They are the
work Of American statesmen. They
stand sanctioned by George Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, and other
Industrious fat hers of cur Republic.
We he'd out-the alluri Ing invitation
to the people of other countries to
come here, accept our conditions and
become American citizens.
Nor were We slow to impress upon
the world the peculiar benefits OF
our institutions. Indeed We boosted
of our land Of civil and religious lib.
efty--of our asylum for the OPP
pressed, where every man could en-
joy the high dignity Of self-govern-
ment and the inestimable privileges
Of worshipping God agrseably to the
dictates Of conscience. Thus inyi-
ted, many came of all countries and
all sects of protesting Christians. =
Some have been with us since the
days of the revolution; some for a
half century; some Sor half that
and others for a shorter period. They
have contributed by their industry
and skill to the development of the
resources Of our country, eand have
assisted in its defence; others have
felled the forest, and cultivated the
soil, and have added to the general
prosperity Of the country, others
have advanced the commercial, man
ufacturing, mining, and mechanical
interests of the nation, and others
have adorned the pulpit and the bar
They have assisted to pay the
taxes, and to fight our battles; and
shall the sacred covenant which was
thus made with these people be VIC
lated by the power of a secret and in
sidious combination that overrides
the Constitution? Shall the faith oil
our fathers, as plighted in this great
instrument, be thus disregarded?-
Rightminded men of all parties must
respond no. No such immortality
and political wrong shout q be permit
ted to tarnish the fame of America.
From the long past days of the Rev
olution there is a Renaissance that
speaks in eloquent tones against this
proposed error. From the shades OF
Mount SVernon, from the grave Of
Lafayette, from the heights where
Montgomery fell, from the once
bloody-felds where Pulaski and De
Kalb gave up their lives, there comes
up a solemn remonstrahce against
this proposed wrong.

The Providence Advertiser editor
says he has a friend, great smoker
of cigars, whose "heart is biggert than

The New York Express remarks
that Michigan is entitledto the hon.
or of being the first State in the
Union offering students ffom all por-
tons of the United States complete
courses Of collegiate instruction free
of charge. The income from her
University fund is now ab9utS25, 900

pie buildings have been erected at
Ann Arbor for the Medical and Lit
erary Colleges; a town remarkable
for its health and cheapness of living.
There are some things in Europe
which correspond 70 this, but moth
ing to compare with it in the United
States.
Would that every Sthte in the
Union could do the same SOW the

Senator DOUGLAS.

| One Of the most heroic statesmen
our country has produced is Stephen
A. Douglas. In defence of the con-
stitutional rights of the South, and
necessarily of the Union of the States,
he has. With uncondaerable heroism
and unwayering energy. on all occa-
sions, combatted the fierce spirit of
Iabolisjonism in its most savage dens;
and in doing so has hazarded for his
country the triumphs Of an ambi-
ton which, frightened by his lofty
intellect, and rendered incorrnpt by
his spotless patriotism, might we'll
aspire to the noblest distinction free
people can confer.
Four years ago in the abolition
city of Chicago. in defence Of the
Fugitive Slave Law, he encountered
and siIenced, if he did not convince,
az abolition populace bowling with
rage over its passage. A few weeks
since in this same city the same pop
ulace refused the gallant patriot a
hearing in his own defence, and the
vile and cowardly wretches drove him
from a public rostrum. But he has
since been heard with applause and
enthusiasm by one of the largest gath
erings of the people ever assembled
in Indiana, and nobly and trium-
phantly did he vindicate himself and
the cause of the constitution.
No man has been more bitterly
assailed by Northern abolitionists and
Southern Wing partisans than Doug
las. But that he will triumph over
both, gloriously, in the end, no one
can doubt who believes in the intel
ligence, patriotism and justice of the
American people.
