TURKEY STILL ''SIcK."--An article
in Blackwood on the Peace con
tains the following sentence:
Turkey is still the .'sick man, nand
Europe will soon be fighting again
over its dead body"
A correspondent oithe same Maga-
zine, in speaking Of the cause of the
late war with Russia, says:
Il always thought the preservation
OF tine integrity Of the Ottoman empire
hypocracy on the part Of the Allies.
We fought to prevent Russia from
seizing it, that is all. But we shall be
no less wicked than foolish if we shed
one drop,ofbloodto preventthat empire
from falling to pieces about Itself
What has Turkey ever deserved of
Christendom. She sends figs and car
)ets, say our merchants, but figs and
;arpets would grow equally well, per-
laps better, under the shadow of the
ross than in the moonshine Of the
ifoscent. As for the boasted mild
less Of her government, it is nothing
mt inbecility 1t IS the mildness o
broken backed boa -conshictor.-f
utilization ought never to forgive or
1rget the wrongs of Greece, or the
eneral past ofthat power which swept
ke a turbid flood over art, literature,
eience and religion, in Asia and in
urope, and lett nothing but mud
hen it subsided."

The Washington Organ (Know Nothing) of
Wednesday says:
We find in the American Patriot, published
at Boston, an article upon the sAmerican
PLATFORM" from which We cheerfully present
extracts imbodyng the true principles on
which the party should stand. 1t says:
"None but Americans to rule America; the
Union must be preserved; no foreign inter.
ference with American affairs; inviolabllity OF
national treaties; no union of Church and
State; personal morality indispensable to Of

ough reform OF the naturalization laws; CAPT
tation tax to exclude foreign paupers; no np
pointmeni of foreigners on diplomatic posts
just tariff or imported luxuries; in all neces
sares free trade; strict economy in the gov
