Err PRoBABIE- Washington cores

TEgT PROBABLE. The Washington cores
pondent Of the y. Y Courier thus speeula.es
in relation to the prospects Of the allies:
What is to be the nexa movement OF the
. allied armies is a painful question. Were the
expedition composed wholly OF French, we
know what would be done-an assault would
have been made Immediately after the last
grand effort at bembardment. Half the army
would have persisted BY the fire OF the besieged
tie remainder would have rushed 10 their ships
and a miserable remnant alone would have sur
vived the enterprise. But tie British with
equal courage, have greater patience, fortitude
and resources under disaster. They have, be-
side the help OF a powerful Turkish army,
which has beaten the Russians wherever in the
course of the present war it has encountered
them in force. BY this time the combined
English, French and Turkish forces amount to
nearly two hundred thousand men. What will
they do? They would reenlbark. if they could,
but they cannot. They must retire from before

than to the e1iles Of Siberia. The Russian ar
mics in the Crimea, or which may in few
weeks be sent there, are not likely 10 be of less
force than 40o,O0 men. These are the men
which the allies have to defeat, disperse, and

The senate of Connecticut has passed an
amendment to the constitution of that State to
strike out the word WHITE in the Qualification
for voters. The people have to approve the
amendment before it becomes part of the con-
stitution. Connecticut is SO given to fanaticism
that we can only wonder that the senate, in its
zeal for, and admiration of, the negro race, did
not entirely exclude white men from the polls,
and confer the privileges and right of suffrage
exclusively upon colored people.

The first printed platform of the Know
Nothings that we have yet seen, is the fol.
lowing which is given in the New York
Times. 1t was adopted at the annual ses.
sion Of the New York State Council, held at
schenectady, Jan. lth and l2lh.
The committee to whom was referred the
State Presidents Annual Report presented
in accordance with the spirit thereof-,he
following resolutions which were adopted by
an almost unanimous vote; and the State Sec.
retary was directed to huve the same printed
and forwarded to Deputies of counties and
presidents OF Subordinate Councils:
Resolved, That Slavery, like Papacy, is n
moral, social and political ovil--at variance
with the spirit Of our republican institutions,
andr0pngnant 10 the principles of freedom;
that il is our duty to resist its extension, and
that we cannot as Americans consent 10 the
admission to the Union Of any new States
whose Constitution recognises human bon
dage.
Resolved, That no adult Alien can eradi-
cate the teaching and prediudices OF youth
and become familiar with the teacings OF our
government, except by patient and perse.
vering stpdy; that no person should be enti.
tied to exercise the elective franchise who
has not been aresident of the United States
for twenty-0ne years.
Resolved, That the civil, religious. anc
political privileges Americans conceds tc
others, should be by others conceded to. A.
merisan'i that no commercial nor diplomatic
intercourse should be msintained with an,
foreign government that prohibits free dom O
speech and freedom of religious opinion.
Resolved, That the peaceful enjoyment o
our rights is best secured by a constant read
mess and abili,y.to resist encroachmsn nt.; tha
Republic can only secure respsc. rom a
