The slave trading interests And YET this sotd'sant
Apti-slsyery journal, Tae National Era. lends its
zealous support to that great Fro slavery neAs-
ure thAn which the cause Of Freedom has never
suffered q moro injurious blow. And ~hiie thus
nu,,nipp this double course-not, as we are happy
to believe. from moral perversity, but from mental
weakness, and blind adherence to early add gao
rant pr,iudice-TAS Era has the modesty to IA
nent the Inconsistency of TIE TRIBUNE, aid t, IN
duIos in earrulous specuations upon the fancied
reason for il.
Our contemporary also warns the public against
the influence Of our opinions respecting the war
but in this part of bis verbose appeal we find ID
idea that we have not already disposed Of ard
accordingly we sball aed nothing TO our previous
obseryatio1s on that subject. Oar readers Ge
aware that We desire the success Of Russia in the
war, simply because, in our judgment that e7tn'
will be more favorable to the cause Of liberty aud
progress than the opposite. The Era, however,
uses an illustration which, this topic calls for
some remark Some tune since, says our CO
temporary, writer of The Union vas obliged to
retire ON account OF q Pro-Russia9 article, Of
which be was the suthor; but cow The TRIBNE
ia fnll of such articles, without exciting public
indignation at all Now, this is either very disaoa-
est or very dull-we prefer to believe it the later
No such article es that of The Union, nor an hing
like it, ever appeared i'll our columns and this our
critic is perfectly aware Of That article WAS
Isudstiop of Russian political Institutions desPot
ian. knout and every thing What we contend for
on the other hand is, that in this war between
Russia aud the opposing despOtisms, il is Tor the
interest oil the world that Russia should gain the
ADVANTAGE, not on accOun; Of any noble feature In
her plan of government, but because she will
carry civilization and the germs of freedom into
one of the mos. beautiful countries of the earth,
long oppressed, exhausted and barbarized, and

in case Russia is defeated This position The Era
parallels with that Of The Union former writer who
liked everything about Russia which we dislike,
AID perfectly agreed with The Ere in hostility to
that industrial and commercial system which alone
we hold in admiration. Quite as fairly might we

enthusiastic admiration the murders of December
9. and the kindred crimes which followed.
But the question Of Protection is obsolete, says
The Era, and it is not wise to raise it again.
What moderation end what modesty! Is our CO
temporary ignorant Of the fact that this very
question is sure to be brought before Congress, at
ss early day as possible, in tn form of propo-
sition to take the duty off railroad iron and fifty
other kindred projects Or does it regret that
the spectators and lObbymsn who hare those
pleasant little sfairs in hand cannot be allowed to
bring up their schemes without a word Of PIE
lminary discussion, and push them through before
apybody suspects it At any rate it cannot
serve them better than By doing its utmost to dis
credit THE TRIBUNE, and we dare say that the
whole hungry crowd who stand ready to plumber
the treasury will applaud the effort, feeble and
fruitess though it be.
