OUR GLORIOUS VICTORY.

We have no disposition to rejoice Owe
a fallen foe. In the language of Gen
Pierce, d" the hour of victory should b.
the hour Of magnanimity," but We canno
refrain from reverting to the result Of the
election in this State.
The "Old Dominion" has. in this con-
test, out-done herself. Always sound
conservative. and devoted to republican
principles, she has occupied proud posi-
ton in the confederacy. and exercised ar
almost controlling influence over the bal,
ance of the States; but she never before
occupied so exalted a station in this Union
as she does this day. Having spent ouI
short life in four different States of the
Union, we are. probably. entirely free
from State pride, but really we feel proud
Of the "Old Dominion for having beat
back and destroyed spirit of bigoted ia,
naticism which was spreading itself over
the land, and proud of having contributed
our own mite towards this glorious result.
This feeling is participated in by every
State in the Union. One general and
prolonged shout Of exultation over the
result of the election in this State, has
rose from the thirty others, and our ex-
changes come filled with euIogies upon
the Democracy of Virginia. To US was
assigned duty which they all failed to
perform. that of killing Sam. and it was
conceded that Virginia alone was equal
to the task. Right uobly has she per-
formed the work. and has her reward in
the reflection that she has again rendered
the country an important service.

up the valley Of Kadikoi, where it turns

all absorbing issue; and any party attempting to

and imbecile. 1t is quite too late in the day for
Mr.. Walk and Mr.. Fillmore and the other Boo

Amid the tramp and the clamor of the slave
drivers mob, marching with cannon, with rifles
and with cleaning bowie-knives to the subjuga-
tion Of Kansas, we have something else to do
besides attending to the tears and means of
few political old women and effete Office seekers.
We have to beat back this infamous and arrogant
inyasion-to snatch Kansas from the whitening
grasp of Slavery, and to secure the people of the
Free States against similar outrages for the fu-
ture. This is the issue now at hand and ap
preaching its final decision; we know that the
great mass Of northern Know othings are
sound with regard to it; and we are confident
that all attempts to sunder them from the almost
universal sentiment of the North, and to COM
NIT them to hypocritical resolves of neutrality
and liberation for schemes of slavery. extension
will prove utterly nugatory.

tion1 What can France show after twenty
years war in Algeria What would they TO-
rether do for Turkey And can Turkey stand
alone
If the English Government had been inspired
by liberal principles it has had various opportu-
mites during the last six years of showing this
adyantageously. But it made no sign, uttered
no protest against the destruction OF Hungary.
Kossuths agents appealed to the Manchester
and Birmingham people to assist Hungary IN or
der to bring about Free trade and sell their
wares in that quarter, that being the highest
motive they thought of stirring. But the Gov
eminent would not even nbbe at this bait. SO
too on the destruction of Roman Republicanism
and the restitution of the Pope the English
Government was satisfied. Anything but Free
dom. His Holiness, Antichrist, the Scarlet Lady
all were d;gestible, but universal suffrage IN

attribute anything to the English oligarchy but
hostility to the principles which underlie every
democratic system; and why the junction Of
such power with man who owes his imperial
supremacy to his crimes of ingratitude, perjury
and assassination should pass for liberal alli-
ance we cannot divine. What there should be
in the Anglo French coalition TO evoke respect

PRINCIPLE AND THE WAN.

The Chicago Evangelist, like many other jour
nails, is in error. THE TRIBUNE is not " the
"Open and avowed defender of Russian des-
"potsm." Never line or word has ap-
peared in our columns in favor of despotism of
any kind. The state of the case is simply this:
There is war between three Powers on the
one hand and a fourth-the last an avOwed des-
potism effete besides, with an immobile creed
and despotism fortified to the last degree by the
commercial policy of England. Now the Ques-
tiOn is whether the patched-up alliance between
the old naughty oligarchy of England and the
new Emperor of France, for the purpose of
protecting" that is absorbing Turkey, is pref
cradle to Russia swallowing her whole. AS for
Palmerston we look upon him as the most hol-
low pretender in all Europe regards liberal
lem. His conduct, especially since the French
Revolution of 1919, has been the opposite of lib
eral Chief Of plotters against France, he fin
ishes by forming pharisaical alliance with the
Bonapartean despOt whom he cheered on in the
work of perjury and massacre, and now upholds
and honors with the garter England's highest
gewgaw, though every vestige of constitutional
liberty has ceased in France.
Again: Russia processes despotism-but her
extension carries with it the ameloration of her
ancient spirit. Her new acquisitions of terri
tory are accompanied with the abolition Of Sla-
very-unlike these democratic States Of North
America. Her possession of Turkey would not
render that country worse, but would we think
revive it, by the introduction of protective
system. The civilization which would follow
takes away from the "Cossack" rawhead and
bloody bones horrors which English and French
prophets are so fond of seeing in perspective.
We have in word no faith in the English oil
garchy, headed by Palmerston; none in Louis
Napoleon; aud none in the Alliance; and more
over none in the power of Turkey to rise from
her sick bed. But we have faith in that march
of events which may change the Turkish Empire
by a junction with Russia, which is improving,
and whose highest interest would lie in enrich
ing her southern possessions if Constantnople
were her capital. But what has England done
with her Indian possessions but rob them and
keep them by an army of SOC, 900 men in subjec-
