PERSIA.

The difficulty between Great Britain and
Persia originated in the capture of the City
of Herat by the tforces of the later power.
This, Great Britain contended, was con-
trary to treaty, and insisted that it devolved
upon her, in her character ofprotector, and
so forth, to compel Persia to withdraw from
that advanced post on the road to India.
War was declared and the successes of
the British troops compelled the Persian
government to assent to treaty of peace
dictated by Great Britain. One of the con-
ditions of this treaty was the evacuation of
Herat. The insurrectlon in India has
compelled the withdrawal Of all the British
forces from the Persian territories, and
renders it impossible for the English gov
ernment to enforce the present fultilment of
the terms of the treaty agreed to by Persia.
and the latter power, with the short-sighted
duplicity characteristic of Asiatics refuses
to evacuate Herat, or otherwise comply
with its engagements.
Before the end of the year there will be
all of one hundred thousand British soldiers
concentrated in India, gathered from all
parts of the East That the Sepoys, or the
effeminate population of India, can resist
such force, under either Sir Patrick Craft
or Sir Colin Campbell, would be madness
to expect. The Indian peninsula must be
the theatre of terrible acts of retribution,
leaving no vestige of native rule, and no
prince with money or the semblance of
power to disturb the British sway.
That matter disposed of-native India
crushed and disafmed, how much of the
vast force drawn to the East for that pur-
pose, will it take to make Persia repent of
her misguided faithlessness 1t is always
a ticklish thing for weak power to take
advantage ofthe temporary embarrassments
of strong one. The day of atonement
comes and Is terrible one, when it does
come.

POSITION AND MERIT.

The man of position lives while he lives
the man of merit lives after he dies
England had King when Shakespeare
wrote, whom the old men and the children
honored, while the name of the poor writer
was scarcely known of any. But now, all,
both old and young, who speak the Eng
lish language, are familiar with Shakespeare
and his writings, while the King is forgot
ten. Who was Virginia's Governor when
Patrick Henry was arousing his fellow men
with the sweeping fire of his eloquence
The school-boys all know of Patrick HeAry
and feel their blood tingie as they recite
his impassioned strains, while the memory
of the Governor has perished. In his day
he was better known than the orator."
Position is thing of to-day, while merit
is being of all time; and when joined, as
it should be, with an upright, blameless
life, it becomes u star forever-a never
ending light set in the eternal sky of Truth.
Spirit Of U.e Age.

GOVERNOR WALKER.

The Government has received dispatches
from Gov. Walker, in which he complains
of great injustice having been done him in
regard to "who shall vote in Kansas" In
his despatch of July 20 he says:
"On one point have been grossly mis-
represented. 1t is as to who, in my judg-
ment, should vote upon the ratification Of
the constitution. 1 have been represented
as desiring that every man should vote who
happened to be in the Territory on the day
of that election. This, indeed, would be
desirable if there were copclusive evidence
that all such persons were actual, bona .tfde
settlers; but the only sufficient and usual
proof Of such a fact would be some previous
residence. On this point, which is one of
detail, l have never proposed to make
suggestions to the convention, although,
when asked my opinion by members of
that body, [ have indicated a previous
residence of three or six months, and that
the same qualifications should be adopted
in the constitution in regard not only to
that, but to all future elections; and, in my
judgment, one or other of these terms of
residence will be adopted by the convention,
from whom anticipate cordial co-opera-
ton.
at is somewhat extraordinary that,
whilst this accusation of letting every man
vote who may happen to be in the Territory
on the day ofthe election has been preferred
in the South as indicating desire on my
part to let in abolition vagrants and
interlopers to control the result, the Republi
cans of Kansas have drawn an entirely
different conclusion-viz: that designed in
this manner to bring many thousand
Missourians into the Territory to decide the
contest.
