Are Russia's Resources Becoming Ex-
hau,ted z

Want of pluck and perseverance often surren-
ders victory at the very moment when IL Is within
our reach. How many cases does history record in
which the objects Of a stubborn struggle, or a
vigorous pursuit have been abandoned in discour
sgement or fatigue, just when few days or weeks
longer exertion or endurance would have awarded
the combaiant or the pursuerl 1t was so in the
last war with Turkey; do not let IL be so in this
II was so in 1929: do not let us repeat the pro-
voking blunder in 1885. In the first mentioned
year the government of the Sultan, under the
combined influence Of ignorance, menace, and bad
counsel, allowed the debris Of the Russian army
decimated, demorazed and shattered as it was
TO dictate TO them the disastrous peace OF Adrian
ople, at the precise coDjuncture when one more
effort, one month of perseverance, one man Of
spirit and information in their councils, would
have enabled them to make the invading army
surrender at discretion or submit TO complete ex-
termination. Let us take warning by the fatal
error, and guard against similar Encouragement
and weakness now.
Russia has made the most stupendous exertions
to meet the conflict she 20 ashly brought on and
the magnitude Of those exertons have hitherto en-
ablcd her TO make head against us and to maintain
the strife on nearly equal terms. But the very
vastness of those efforts makes their long continu-
ance impossible. She has strained her resources
to the uttermost the allies are only at the very
alphabet of theirs. We have contributed $4,000
men to the contest; France about 100000; Russia
certainly not less than million. Indeed, we know
from the best sources that she has buried 800 600
since the commencement of the war. She knows,
as well as we do, that the Crnea is the appointed
battlefield for this of giants that there the
dispute must be fought out that, if beaten there,
her power and her prestige are gone that, if VIC
torious there, she may proclaim herself more than
match for more than the Wertern Powers to-
gether, and Europe and Asia will believe her. On
that field (chosen by us, be it remembered) she
has therefore concentrated all her strength and all
the resources Of her vast dominions--her ablest
generals, her choicest troops, and tho most UNI
bounded stores and muniments of war. How long
can she continue these gigantic effortsH England
and France, we know, can continue them almost
indefinitely. We have the command of the sea
we can pour in inexhausable supplies both of food
guns and ammunition; France at least has great
forces in reserve our commerce is quite untouch.

command Of both nations are literally unlimited

Prince George American Convention.
At a Convention Of the American party, held
on Thursday, September 6, 1855, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed
Whereas different constructions have been put
upon the language of the Sth Article of the Ameri-
can Platform, (called the Philadelphia Platform
and it is necessary and proper that we, as well as
our candidates should be unanimous in an inter-
probation Of the same, therefore
ResoLred, As the sense of this Convention that
said article of the American Platform was never
meant by its trainers to be proscriptive of the
Catholic ON account of his religion, but simply TO
exclude from Office all persons acknowledging civil
allegiance TO any foreign power--such allegiance
in their view being incompatible with the duties
of good citizen.
Resolued That the words " resistance TO the ag-
gressvc policy and corrupting tendency of the Ro-
man Catholic Church, used in said eighth article
not intended to apply To its religion but only
to characterize certain acts of interference with the
politics of the country by the Church as a combi-
nation to control certain and selfish purposes.
RESOLVED, That, as the members of the Church
are divided among themselves on the question of
civil allegiance 10 the Pope--some denying some
conceding it, we leave it entirely with them for
their own adjustment, prescribing only a certain
qualification Of good citizenship, (yz: no civil al
legiance to foreign power,) which properly re-
sponded to, coners eligibility upon all without dis
tinction of religion possessed of other requistes)
for any Office under the government or in the gift
Of the people.
Resoired, That, upon the above Interpretation OF
the 9Th article of the American Platform, our can
didates are authorized and requested to plant
themselves in the coming contest and request OF
them to allow no other to be forced upon them by
the enemies of the American Order
After which, the Convention proceeded to make
nominations for the county, as follows:
For House of Delegates.-Dr. Jos. !. Duvall,
Richard w. w. Bowie, and Jas. s. Morsell.
For Clcrk.-George Calvert
For Judges Of Orphans Court.--Dr. Harper, II.

n. rrLLxoRI IN ENGLAND.

The N. Y. Tr1tuae learns that Elk Pres
iden, Fillmore ie achieving the most bril-
liant success in English society. His tne
personal appearance and graceful aud digni-
6.d manners contribute quite as much IS
His polisical distinction towards making him
favori,e in royal and aristocratic circles.
Osecn Victoria cousiders him the politess
American she ever saw, and Dukes and
Earis, without number, were inviting him
u their country seats.
Mr.. Fillmore should Be careful not TO let
his Presidential prosre or hopes be jeop-
srdisea BY the popularity which he may
scss;fe in England. There is class Of
people in this country who cherish sysiem-
etc hatred Of England and every thing Eng
lish, and are inclined to look with suspicion
on any man who either shows disposition
to be pleased ~ish English society. or whom
English society shows disposition to please.
This foolish feeling is partly to be attributed
10 hereditary causes, but they would long
since have iost most il no, all their force,
n such men - Gen. Cass had not taken
particular pains to keep alive the dying en-
hers Of national luminosity. Washington
Irving even injured the popularity Of his
works amoag his countrymen, BY the idea
which they entertained, that in his earlier
publications he paid TO Euch court TO the
English; and, indeed, Van Amburgh Is the
only American whom we remember to have
been pe,,ed aud pafronized By royal and
ducal personsges, and at the same time to
have retained the apprecia,ing applause and
appreciation of his Democratic fellow-citi-
xens. Next to the hardest political rebuff
which Mr.. Van Buren, ever experienced was
the Senatorial censure caused BY his sup
posed subserviency to the English court;
and. If Mr.. Fillmore b, properly influenced
BY these, and many other examples of the
pas, that nigh: be adduced, he will fight
shy Of being known a the pstted protege
OF the "6rst society" of England. He may
now have reasonable expectation OF being
nominated for the Presidency by few
Northern Silver Grey Wings and some
Southern Union-saving politicians, but il
the latter happen TO hear that he is On visit
ing terms with the Duchess of Sutherland,
Mr.. Fillmore would certainly receive no
further political assistance from them. The
distinguished Ex-President had better be
guarding against the political mishaps which
may result from his present position, and
while it may be very pleasant TO sun himself
in the approving smiles of the English aris-
tocracy, be should not forget the clouds
which may overshadow bis prospects in this
country on account Of that 8, baritic indul-
gence.
