found it necessary TO promise aid in the event
of another outbreak in Hungary. But the
allied powers evidently believe that when they
have induced Austria to take the field she will
become too much entangled to leave it until a
general peace is concluded. Once arrayed
against Russia, sac will need help at home,
and will soon find that she cannot displease her
allies without imminent danger if not actual
destruction.
The war in the east is not war Of yesterday.
The seeds of it were planted long ago, and
they have been terminating for many years.
1t is not accidental, nor is it the product of an
ambitious freak. 1t sprung from the natural
progress of events, and it cannot be concluded
without changes leading to important results.
A truce may be signed under the name, and
with all the formalities of treaty of peace /;
but in our humble judgment, the war will be
speedily renewed until Russia secures Constan-
tinople or the allies succeed in curtailing her
power and checking her policy. The cond-
ton of things two years ago could not be main
tanned, and if that condition be restored, it will
hardly last longer than may be necessary to
give breathing time, and the opportunity Of
preparing for another conflict. Russia must
be checked, and England and France cease to
insult, and learn to aid and assist the weaker
powers, before any stable and permanent set
Element can be effected.

THE LATE THomAs RITcu1E.

Could the lamented patriot, whose death it
was our painful duty to record few days ago,
know with what general respect his memory
is treated, could he read as we have done, the
spontaneous tributes paid to him by presses in
every section of the country, death would lose
much of its terror. The high position of be-
ing the head of the American press is univer-
sally accorded to him-a position to which the
greatest and most ambitious man might well
aspire. When the vast number of American
journals are considered, and the great amount
Of talent learning, and ability engaged in
them, are taken into account few positions are
prouder and more imposing than that of the
chief, leader and head of the American press.

NEW HAMpsHIRE REsoLUTIoNs

On Wednesday the house of Representatives
of New Hampshire passed the annexed reso-
lutions, which had been pending for some time
before that body. The first resolution was
adopted by vote of l60 to llS, the second
by vote of l55 TO ll9, the third by vote Of
l56 to ITO, and the fourth by vote of 1872 to
III:
Resolved, That the State OF New Hampshire re-
afirms the principles promulgated by her house
OF representatives in 1850: The people are bound
by no compact, expressed or implied, TO suffer
the introduction Of slavery into territory now Free
and that they are unalterably opposed TO the
ton OF any territory without its prohibition by
positive law
Resolved, That the repeal Of the Missouri com.
promise was 10 violation of those principles was
unnecessary, inpoltic; breach Of faith with the
north, dangerous and wrong
Re,oiped That the course Of Geo. w. Morrison
and Geo. w. Kittredge, portion Of orr delegation
in Congress, in resisting such repeal receives the
hearty and united approval Of the people Of New
Hampshire.
Ressived, That the course Of Harry Hubbard
Moses Norris, and Jared W. Williams, the other
members of our delegation, in voting for such re.
peal, was in opposition 10 the wishes of the people
Of the State treacherous to freedom and the great
cause Of equality and human rights and meets

HON. JOHN McNAIR OF PENNsYL-
WANNA.

.
1t affords US much pleasure to extract from
the Norristown PA Register the following
deserved tribute to the representative from that
district
"Hon John McNair, our representative in
Congress, we should have stated in last weeks
paper, left this place again for Washington, on
the Tuesday previous, having spent a short
time at home in consequence of the happening
of one of those interesting little events that
are now and then wont to happen. But few
members of Congress, We venture to say, have
been more prompt, faithful and punctual in
the discharge of their duties, or have more
carefully watched the interests of their con-
stituents than Mr.. McNair. Sound and reliable,
he has always been at his post, and has never
hesitated to discharge what he conceived to be
his duty fearlessly. 1t is true that not long
since he was hung in efigy at this place at
night, because he voted for the principle of the
people being able to regulate their own affairs
in the territories as embodied in the Nebraska
bill, but we do not think it has injured or will
injure him in the least. 1t is not the first oc-
currence of the kind in this country, that has
taken place, nor have some of the first men
in the country escaped in being treated in the
same way Mr.. McNair, we feel satisfied is
sustained in his vote on this subject, as he is
in his course generally, by the democracy OF
his district"

TERRIBLE AFFRAY-Mr. C. ID. Kelley, Sc
cond engineer on board the sc. W. Sparhawk,"
was at work yesterday forenoon at the engines,
when he discovered water leaking down through
one Of the staterooms directly over his head,
and wettng the work at which he was engaged.
He Immediately walked up stairs, and found
one of the cabin boys washing out the room,
and letting the water run through hole in the
floor, made for the purpose. Kelley told the
boy to stop washing or scrubbing the room
until the work on the engine was finished.
Kelley started down TO his work, and had not
more than fairly got under way when another
shower Of water came down on his head, wet
ting his clothes, and the work on which he was
engaged. Kelley then started up stairs the Sc
cond time, and found the boy engaged as before,
who refused to stop, and replied TO Kelley in
an impudent manner; whereupon he slapped
his face, and went to his work. After dinner,
as Kelley was coming down the steps leading
from the hurricane to the boiler deck, he was
met by Edward Augustus Dedieman and John
Hyland, first and second stewards Of the boat,
who said they would have revenge for the in
jury done the boy. Dedieman armed with a
heavy piece Of iron, about eighteen inches in
length, and large enough to kill man with
ease. Hyland had in his hand pistol, loaded,
and both rushed on Kelly with their weapons in
their hands. Kelley being unarmed, snatched
from the pantry large carving knife, and Just
as Dedieman was about dealing him blow
with the iron bar, Kelley stabbed him with his
knife, cutting him to the heart, and killing
him. Hyland then discharged his pistol at
Kelley, the ball passing close to his face, but
not killing him, when Kelley rushed on him
with bis knife, and cut him very badly in the
arm, and could have killed him ALSO il he had
been disposed to do so. Hyland was then
taken to the hospital, and il was reported last
night that he had bled to death before the
wound was dressed. Ifhe is not already dead
he no doubt will be by this morning, as the
wound is severe one
Kelley, Immediately after the affair was over
went to the police Office, and gave himself W
for trial. He is young man, and the officer:
Of the boat represent him to be peaceable
and well disposed person.
