rTho Pence In Europe.

Peace having been formally proclaimed between
Russia and her late antagonists the English Journals
are busily engaged in the discussion of the character
of that peace and how far it and its provisions &C
cord with the wishes and expectations of the British
people. Much as peace desired by the mercan-
tile community there is an evident under current Of
excitement and dissatisfaCton-a belief that the hon
or of the British has not been vndcated nor her
influence properly asserted-that she has been drawn
into a peace by Louis Napoleon when her own con-
captions of interest and honor opposed TO it, and
in favour OF fuller and more vigorous prosecution
of the war. The peace rejocings were not of a
popular character-they were simply official. From
the London ines to the most humble provincial
sheet the tone of expression is querulous-there is
noting hearty about it, if except lis dsrust of
"Our Allies" who, say the English. having accom-
plished their own ends, care for nought else, and
show an undue desire for peace and an unreasonable
rejoicing at its attainment. The London Advertiser
speaks out very plainly. 1t says that enough has
transpired to justify us in Chavactersing the peace
which has just been concluded, as one which will
bring discredit on the English character which il
affords no guarantee for the future independence Of
Turkey or the general tranquility of Europe. The
treaty is abortion. The Advertiser anticipates
renewal of the contest five years hence when England
will have to stand in state of antagonism agans
all the desrotisms of the continent The Londol
Herald is about as bitter; even Manchester i
sulkey. Nobody is satisfied, and let governments d
or say as they may, the entente ordiaze between tn
English and French people has received much NOR
violent shock than it did by the affair of the SPANS
marriages under Louis Philippe, for that was bu
affair of dynasties and reigning families. In tn
present case the nation-John Bull, individuality
feels himself jockeyed by his ally and betrayed b
his government. The alliance was, at best, an vi
natural one, which kept together by the pressu
of the war, butIwhich cannot, in any cordially, SUI

MEssRs FULTON & PACE see from recent COM
municatons to the Journal that discussion has ART
sen in regard to the propriety of nomination by the
Democratic party for the Office of Sheriff This dis
cussion involves question OF vital importance TO the
success of the Democratic party in this County, and
one which eninentIy claims the calm, careful con-
sideraton of all who value it's welfare and the sue
cess of its principles It is a question OF party Or
ganizaon and consequently of party success. Shall
we have full, complete organization or partial
one Shall we by timely preconcerted action. unite

of Sheriff and thus secure for him the whole vote OF
the party, or shall we have the field open 10 the
whole crowd of aspirants, and thus run the RISK OF

precated, the election of Know Nothing Snerln
This is the true question at issue, without sranng

two opinions on so plain point. 1t seems to me
that if there was time when the instrumental

manded by the exigencies of the occasion. II IS now
AS YOU Justly observe in your editorial OF the 10th
inst " the office of Sheriff is sought after with more
avdity than any in the gift of the people OF this Sec

There are already two Democrats in the field, and
have heard of several other prominent asplrants
and unless the conflicting claims Of these asplrans are
adjusted by a party nomination, we may safely as
sume that there will be two or more Lcmocratlc can.

One of the most pleasing incidents connected with
the visit of the Democratic delegates to Raleigh was
the military display on Thursday. by the Oak C''y

Cadets, under Captain Lovejoy. These fine comPa-
MES turned out as citizen soldiery TO pay compl'

their high respect for and appreciation of Gov Bragg

Mr. EDITOR The Herald of Saturday charges

surprised at this as were not before aware that

Military training is by no means the only requi-
site to make the able general--else, where would be

siding on the wharf, with painted sgn-board dis.

But it is equally preposterous to say that, because
