PEACE PROSPECTS.

The following is the substance Of the peace PROPOSE.
tons said to be borne to ST. Petersburg by Prince
Esterhazy: /. The Black Sea to be closed against
war vessels Of all nations, Russian, Turkish and
others. g general protection Of the greut powers
over the Christians Of Turkey >. The free nuviGs-
trn Of the Danube to be secured 1. The fortrrsses
Of Bomarsund and Sebastopo not to BIZ rebuilt
Alexander is to have fortnight TO consider Should
ne reject, there will be an end to negotiations ur.
til after tn, next campaign. Should he accept, new
conference will take place as speedily as possible,
at Dresden or Munich. Opiniuus vary as to the
chances, aud all will be anxiety until the result is
known.
We do not believe that peace cnn be achieved up
on the above bases, which have evidently British
origin. But, at the same tine if We are to regard
the tone of the foreign journals, we do not regard the
prospects of peace altogether desperate The Paris
correspondent of the London Times asserts that
great desire for peace exists al the French capital and
that Austria and Russia well aware OF it. Among
the higher classes OF Russian society al Vienna, adds
the writer, "the longing for peace Is not con-
csasd the contrary, ID expressed most earnestly
most ardeutly. That the same feeling exists at 81.
Petersburg, few candid persons who know anything
of the matter deny, however they may declare tha'
Russia has not taken the Initiative. II ia no sign Of
| weakness that the cooperation Of the secondary
States should be invited by hs slea 1t is believed
at Vienna and elsewhere that Francois more desrous
of peace than England, and this desire, perhaps,
too clearly md too often manifested, may add TO
the obstinacy Of Russia, and produce its effect
on Austria. The value of every commodity is raised
in promotion to the presumed wants Of the purchaser
| and tho man who wishes to derive gond bargain will
do wc to disguise bis impaence for the possession
Of the article, or his absolute necessity for it. Ii Is
quite as well known at St. Petersburg az il; n Wen
na what the feelings os tie English people nre on the
war 1t il no secret to pablo men iu either capital,
and generally among tho better informed aud higher
classes il not among the mass of the people, That
England is determined to make no imperfect peace
after the sacrifice she has already submitted to- ano
that She is now making gigantic preparations to hush
once for ALL witbRussian aggression, aud show TO the
world that the more the danger increases, the sterner
is her determination to face it.. separation between
France aud England not to be thought or and the
latter has consented to forego any conditions which
aha may have considered essential TO attaining the
great object both have in view, it is probably more
out of Difference for her faithful ally than from any
conviction of her own to the necessity for the sac
rifce. l do not believe that Austrian Intervention
would be listened to by England at this stage oil the
proceedings but for the same Difference

CHURCH ExcLUsvENEss.-A movement is

Another proposition is, to exclude fashiona.

but Church members who have lost all relish
for the "pleasures of the world" are fitted
for instructors. What absurdiles to be toll
Grated at this boasted age Of progress and
liberal deasl Woman's voice too sensuous
for the solemn GRANTEES of the Church,
Why there is more of God and religion in
the heart of one yirtuous woman than in all
the canting mawworms that have existed
since the Reformation! What do the asceiics
think! That the world was created and filled
with bright and beautiful things, for man to
go through IL grooming and morning, and
mortifying the flesh! What comment on
the wisdom and consistency of Deity! Hea.
ven is above the clouds, but the Church still
smells rankly Of mortality. Exclude females
indeed! We would MS soon listen to the
roaring of the bulls of Bashan, as TO the
singing Of n choir where there is no female
voice minging with and modulating the so.

Church would be without women in il.

INCOMPATIBLEs WILL NOT MINGLE.

lNCOMPATIBLES WILL NOT MINGLE.
The New York Herald has administered
just rebuke to Dir, r. Meagher, for staring an
Irish paper in thiscountry. The Herald tells
MIR. Meagher that he cannot be an freshman
and an American at the same time. The
American Banner says, this is nothing new to
the natves-it does not astonish them in the
least to be told that an Englishman cannot be
Dutchman, or that an Austrian cannot be a
Turk. We made the discovery, long time
ago, that foreigners could not be Americans.
As well might it be said that Mahometan
becomes Christian the moment he places
his foot upon American soil. There is nothing
in the climate, nor is there any miraculous
property in the country, that can transform
an Arab into I'M American. A hog will be a
hog the world over, and he cannot, by any
system of training or education, be made to
pass for horse.
We are what we nre, and what God made
US, despite the naturalization law or any
other miserable absurdity concocted by un.
Matchmaking "great" demagogues, for politi.
cal purposes.
According to the doctrine of naturalization,
had this hocus pocus method been introduced
at the confusion of Babel, all the Municipalities
could have been made .one again.
TO tell an Englishman that he is made an
American according to law, is TO insult him,
nationally, and accuse him, at the same time,
Of being void of common sense
While We condemn Mr.. Meagher for his
attempt to establish purely Irish paper, we
honor him for his honesty in announcing,
through its name, "The Irish NeDs," his in.
tentiOn to depend upon his national cognomen
for all the responsibility he needs in the
premises. Others, as though ashamed of their
blood, have sought to tack on to the Irish
name that of American, thus levying upon our
responsibility at the expense Of common
sense, for nothing can be more absurd than
the title of the "Irish American" or the
american Ceh" A paper bearing the title
of the Dutch Scotchman would, of necessity,
excite smile of dersion-yet we find some
unthinking Americans who see no improprie.
ty in such double-headed names, until the
question is asked whether or not they would
be willing, if they were in ireland, TO be called
American Irishmen.

FILLMORE IN New YoRK.-1'hc Albany
Statesmen tells us that almost universally is
il the fact that wherever the Americans were
overborue in the late elections in New York,
it was effected by the "united torces of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans" 1t adds the follow.
ing cheering news:

ent MS the uncloudcd sun at noon. day. that the
American Party will carry the Empire State
next fall. There is no earthly power that can
prevent its having larg plurality, If not Il
clear majority in the State. To nobody is
this, apparent as to the Republicans and
Democrats. While to them it is n fact dis
hcartening and chilling, to Americans it is
full of hope and well calculated 10 inspire
confidence and renewed energy for the good

perpetrated the farce of "repudiating Fill
