The Czar Wins.

The Russians have won more decisive vic tory than that of Balaklava in conquering the public sentiment of the United States. It was difficult feat to carry the first position of the allies, but 1t was quite as hard to break down old prejudices, which had been the result of English and French misrepresentation They have done both, however, and nothing is more obvious than the fact that American sympathy has completely deserted the camp of the inva- ders and taken up its grounds within the walls of Sebastopol.
 The New York Daily Times of the latest date ha, sensible article on the subject, in which the pro- Russian feeling of the country is skillfully vindicated, and reasons adduced, which might satisfy Lord Clarendon himself that we are on the right side of the question, and that the Czar deserves better of the United States than the allies. Ever since the com mencement of the war the hostility of the lat ter towards us, has been manifested on every possible occasion, for when we are not threat ened by the foreign ministers, we are abused by the Times; and the monthly press, after demo- fishing Nicholas, is always sure to have fling at its transatlantic cousins" who are no long CT as in the days of the Clayton and Bulwer amenities, dear to its Anglo Saxon heart Me- yer has the tone of France been more insult ing to our national pride; never was England SC watchfully jealous of our progress and 50 eager to interfere with our wishes, and for no better reason than that we refuse to sympathize with 8 confederacy which opens its arms to Austsia and marches to battle with the symbols of despotism on its flag.
 The Times speaks so we'll on this subject (although 1t exaggerates the merits of General Houston) that we subjoin its words:
 W hen Texas proposed to associate her po- litlcai fortunes with those of the United States the agents of England and France spared nc efforts to prevent it; and we well remember . most graphic and characteristic speech of Gen Houston's. in which, while he showed up the intrigues of England and France in Texas al that time, he told how he defeated them, anc thus consummated the admission of Texas int the Union. No sooner had tho United States acquired treaty title to California, than Eng land seized, by torce upon the port of San J IL an de Nicaragua, for no other conceivable pur pose but to thrust herself in our way and ob. struct our transit across the isthmus. Then England and France fail upon the scheme o that proposed tripartitc treaty respecting Cuba the plan oi which was o eo1uentIy 8nd admi rablv replied to hy Mr. Everett. Since that time anu during the last two years, the United State have not taken a simple step iM any act Of for eign relation without being tracked, and so ia as possible, thWartcd, by most int0crabc med ding ou the rart of England and France They act in concert to obStruct Us in the Sand wich Islands. They interfere by force to defea our attempts at friendly negotiation with th Dominican Republic. The British Admiral il the Chinese seas thrusts himself in 6 most ex traordinary manner, in the way of the opera tions of Commodore Perry. Nay, the United States cannot so much as seek for a cargo of gu ano on some uninhabited rock in the Caribbean sea, without encountering the jealous interfe renee of England; and the Consuls of Eng land and France in Guayaquil must needs as sume to supervise any negotiations of ours witt the Republic of Ecuador for access to the qua. no deposits of the Gallipagos."
 These are the facts, well and concisely put and t will be difficult for any friend of the al lies to disprove them. Such an attempt vii scarcely be made, for 1t is toerabv eviden the Czar has won what is worth many bat tie, the sympathies of the people of this coun try in his desperate resistence to his allied eno mics.-N 0.
