Annexation.
o

Cuban annexation is indefinitely postpon-
ed; and the death of the old and the acces-
sion of the new king of the Sandwich ISL
ands changes the prospects of annexation
in that quarter. Though Cuba is very
desirable, we do not think, with the Ostend
conference, that the possession of it is es-
sential to the peace and well-being of the
Union. We have had peace and enjoyed
the highest prosperity known to nations for
nearly three-quarters of century, without
Cuba, and we are certain we may continue
enjoy the same peace and prosperity for an.
other three-quarters of century without
her. Long before the lapse of that time,
however, policy of mastery inactivity
will give us Cuba.
AS to the Sandwich Islands, the question
simply is, whether it is better for this gov
ernment to annex them, at the proper time,
or allow them to pass into the possession oi
one of the great Powers of Europe. 1t is
choice of evils, and our duty is to choose
the least-that being to annex them. So
long as they can remain an independent
power we do not want them. But this can.
not long be. The native population is rap.
idly diminishing, and will within quarter
of century become extinct, .-Detroit Free
Press.

The Late ERllNerOr.

The Emperor Nicholas may be regarded,
perhaps, as the greatest Sovereign of mod
ern times, and few have filled wider space
in the history of the world. with an en-
pre extending from the Baltic to Behring's
Straits, he ruled two-thirds of the circum-
ference OF the habitable globe, and over
all those vast territories he was known
and felt. Throughout that immense region
he might be said to be, in every sense, "the
State" He was identified with all its inter-
ests, moral, social, political, and religious
He knew every thing, inspired every thing,
directed every thing military, civiI eecles-
iastical. 1t is not to be wondered at that, to
such labor of thirty years duration, even
his colossal frame and brain should at last
yield and succumb. With the genius of the
Great Frederick in administrative capacity.
he had almost the genius of Napoleon for
war. His moral and conscientious Qualities
surpassed those Of either.-National Intslli-
gencer.

The Death Of sr,c Cznr.

By the arrival of the ocean steamer At
lGntic, the news of the Cars death is con-
frmed. There may be some diversity oi
feeling among the American people at this
intelligence, but we believe the majority
have and will receive the news with regret;
for quite large share of them, desired the
success of Russia in the war Of the Cri-
mea.
The Emperor NICHOLAS was unquestona-
bly,, while living, the greatest reigning mon
arch of Europe and of the world. He was
master spirit. His empire was the largest
on the globe and he ruled over it, with q
firm and even hand adding each year, new
territory and new strength.
But the question is asked: What effect
will the Czurs death have upon the Eastern
war2 Of course no one can tell but from
present indications the war will go on
NICHOLAS is succeeded by his son, Alexan-
DER the second, who is now thirty
years of age. He is said to be man of
ability and courage and fully competent TO
carry out the plans adopted by his father
The following from the Boston Courier up
on this point is sensible and we'll timed:
"Were Nicholas, like Napoleon the First,
waging war for the qualification of his per-
sonal ambition, the removal of the Gear by
death might reasonably be expected to put
stop to hostilites. But the case is quite
otherwise, although it has been grossly mis-
represented by British writers and public
speakers, who seek to cover up the profit
gacy of their government in going into this
foolish war by giving a totally false version
OF the story and assigning false motives for
the attack upon Russia. The war on the
part of Russia is not a war of Nicholas
against the Sultan--it is q national war of
Muscovy against Turkey,--a religious war
of Christianity against Mahometanism. 1t
is war supported enthusiastically by the
whole population of the Russian Empire-a
war, the great object of which every SUBJ
ject of the Gar, from the noble to the serf,
has at heart. If the present sovereign dies,
then what followsl The cause of the war
remains--the hereditary policy of the en-
pire remains-the national spirit remains
the national will remains. The sceptre of
the Empire has passed from father to son.
that is all. 1t is not the Gear, but rather
lCzcrism that governs Russia.

fears the South would back from such a
proposition, because that direct taxation,

enty-seven cents, or one dollar, and seven
teen cents and eight mills to every white
