Mr.. PrERPoNr vas theu again called for, and con-

longer come out II the alsveocracy--our judah.

from the Shareholders, from the creatures Of the
slave power. There must be Northern party ready

vocateo the formation OF party Of freedom, to be

nble Russia in Europe covers l.50O, 600
square miles; i'll Aeia, 5,250,000 square miles.
The military force of Europe at the command
OF The Emperor is not less than 1000 600 OF
men. Of which 10000 are infantry, and $50
horse. One hundred and eighty thousand young
men and ten thousand officers are constantly Ill
the military schools supported by the Govern
ment. Bul small portion of the frontiers oi
this vast empire are liable to be assailed by u
foreign ioe-nature has placed thereto barriers
ilisurnluuni; BILE.
With such all immense force TO protect her
south estern frontiers it is only for such sold
iers as Napoleon the First TO attempt to pene-
trate her interior with any hope of success
Russia may be checked in her ambitious de-
signs upon neighborng nations by the united
power of Western and Southern Europe; bni
her conquest, snbjugation and disnrm'ermeni
by external force is next to impossible. The
spell that binds many in slavery to the few may
yet be broken, and anarchy and revolution dis
solve the Empire Until this is accomplished,
Russia must be watched and feared.

THE CUBA DiFtlcULtr.- ;, York Saa
OF the 24ih March, has an article on the subject,
from which, we extract the following
ave have il on private and most reliable au-
thoriiy that Secretary Marcy lakes high and
firm ground on the Black Warrior affair. Sec
retary Davis is delighted with Mr. Marcy's spirit
and views, and does not CONCEAL his satisfaction
when speaking TO his intimate friends There
are other members of the cabinet who do not so
heartily sympathize with the popular feeling on
the subject, but it is not supposed that they will
be able to influence the Presidents mind, If
Congress will only encourage him TO pursue II
determined policy. Mr.. Marcy has instructed
Mr. Soule, our Minister at Madrid, to make the
demand for indemnity and apology in the most
peremptory manner and should the Spanish
Government hesitate, or put off its reply under
pretence of waiting for information from Ha-
vana, Mr.. Soule is to lose no time in commuui-
eating the fact to Washington, when our Gov
ernment viii proceed instanter to blockade ev-
cry Cuban part. Mr.. Marcy's plan is to permit
no. shuitling. If the Captain General of Cuba
does ,lol cloose to give his government iutor-
rnaiion unil i, is asked Of him, that is no reason
why the American government should delay
adopting It's remedy We need not say that MIR.
