RUSSIAN VIEWS OF THE PEACE QUESTION
We publish elsewhere two remarkable articles,
translated from lie Eord the Russian organ at
Brussels, which enters into heightened ex-
PLANTATION of the motives of Russia in COM
mencing the present war, and of those by
which che ia now Influenced in desiring to con-
clude peace. The writer shows that the war
was a necessity imposed upon the Emperor
Nicholas, by the very character and sentiments
of his people, which irresistibly impelled them
to undertake this crusade in favor of their CO.
religionists in the East. He contends that a
passion for conquest is not defect which
can fairly be charged to the Sclavonic race,
and that such was certainly not the motive
that led to the Turkish war. A sense Of duty
and of duty alone, which would have urged
them to the same course in the case OF other
oppressed Christians was the influence by
which both monarch and people were actuated.
The protection of the Eastern Christians being
guaranteed by the action Of the European
Powers, the object which they had at heart IL
attained. Under those circumstances, the En-
peror Alexander evinces sound Judgment and
n wise appreciation Of the real interests OF
his people in Fastening to respond TO the uni
versal feeling of Europe, by putting an end to
unnecessary bloodshed. The government OF
Russia had done sufficient to crafty the gener-
Gus instincts of its people, and i would now
gain more by proving to the world the MUS
tice Of the prejudice which attributed to it de-
signs Of conquest than by persevering in o
struggle injurious to the general interests OF
humanity Such is the reasoning Of the Cars
caicial organ. Its sincerity vii, 9f coarse, he

A CARD AND WALKING CANE.--One of our
Know Nothing exchanges informs us that "near
the close Of the proceedings Of the American
Convention at Philadelphia as Mr.. Bartlett was
standing near the door Of the hall, conversing
with several gentlemen, a very quiet parsonage
approached him, holding in his hand a finely
mounted cane, and said, !" Is this Mr.. Bartlett,
OF kentucky" Mr.. B. replied Yes, am the
person." Then, sir, have the pleasure OF
presenting you this cane it is made of wood
from Constitution Hall, and desire you to
keep it in remembrance Of one who listened
with great pleasure to your speech the other
evening, and here is my card" The card was
engraved J. NJ. Riley, Philadelphia" Conside-
rate Mr.. Riley. Mr.. Bartlett is President OF
the Grand National American Council, and,
after the Gripping exercises Of the Conven-
ton, we presume that he found that cane to be
useful as well as ornamental. Thoughtful Mr.
Riley.
