The Political Preachers.

We glad learn that the result of the last
election has been severe in its effects upon class of New
Enganders and that the political preachers Five

From his far distant home
In the West;
A jinglng purse he showed,
And in the latest mode
He was dressed.

And he talked all the while,
How he took
Such an interest in the late
Election in his State
For old Buck.
He'd always felt the ties
Ofparty-lst it rise
Let it fall
Twas not for the reward
That he had worked so hard,
Not at all.
But Office he could bear,

(And the public show

He had kinky hat
On his head.
His shoes were worn away,
And his pockets seem to say
Nary Red.
And loudly he declared
That for party men he cared
Not a jot
He scorned their dirty tricks;
And as for politics,
Twas a plot.
Folks saw the sudden change,
And thought it wondrous strange,
At the best;
Our friend did not explain,
But took an early train .
For the West.

The Persian yvar--EngIand and Russia.

AS far the world knows, there is at this time
perfect friendship between England and Russia No
hostile notes have for months been nterchanged be-
tween the two governments. The English Minister

don, have nought TO occupy them, hut stereotyped
routine of courty ciyles. All is peace and good
fellowship between these nations, two Years since
engaged in desperate conflict Long may il continued
advance of declaration of war, better prospect
of collision on grand scale, than that which now
threatens these imperial powers.
Let the reader look for moment al the map of
Asia. With tolerable recollection of the history of
the last hundred years, he will be able to trace the
advances of British power North and that of Russian
power South. Their possessions have continued to
approach until now, all that divides them are the
third rate states of Persia and Afghanisan. Persia
IS little more than dependency OF Russia, Afghans.
tan little more than dependency of Great Britain
Tie two have gone to for the possession of Herat
"a border town of some fifty thousand souls, and a
place OF great strategic Importance 1t is not very
clear to whom it rightly belongs, though probably to
the Atghans At any rate, it has been for some years
in their possession, and was at the time of it's late
capture by the Persians
Great Britain has made common cause with the
Atghans; sent fleet into the Persian Gulf and sez.
ed the town of Bushire on its waters which she is
terrifying. Hence it is said her troops are to march
across the country and take possession of Herat-
Not that there Is really any sufficient ground as far
as Persia is concerned for this warke demonstration
of the English. But the fact is Herat in military
point OF vew is the key to their Indian possessions.
1t is not strange then, that they are unwilling that
should be in the hands of the Pesians to be trans
terred by them hereafter 10 Russia. But will the
latter now that it is in the keeping of her vassal,
(Persla) consent to lis recapture either bv the Af-
ghans or the British !? Probably not If not, then,
by the time the English army, which landed upon
the Persian Gulf has invested Herat, it is not un-
likely that the Russian army, now assembled at the
southern point of the Caspian, will be on hand for
its dellverance. And we confess that we shalt not
be greatly surprised if the conflict, long since seen
to be inevitable between Great Britain and Russia
tor the ascendency in Asia, shall commence within
the next twelve monh MS around The walls of Herat

The Dallas-Clarendon Treaty.

On the reported rel ection of the Dallas treaty by
the Senate The London Times of the oath February,
has the following remarks in conclusion of an edi.
orial article:
"The negotiations which the British Government
opened in the of last year, honestly in
tended to put an end TO differences between two na
tlons which common origin and common interests
should naturally unite. The convention with Hondu-
ras was concluded, not at our instigation, but in
consequence of special mission from that Republic
The treaty with the United States was the work of
an American minister who had rot long left his own
country, and must have been acquainted with its
feelings and interests Our received the ap-
probation of the American government and of the
American people. Yet it seems that party in the
Legislature does not hesitate to overthrow all that
has been done, and 10 endanger the present friendly
relations between the two counties. Our hands are
therefore, clean. ..
The direct interest of England in the whole matter
Is very small We care nothing about the Mosquito
Pr0tectorate do not want The Bay Islands and
our whole concern in Honduras is limited TO free
transit across the territory, in the contemplated
| railway should ever be constructed The Americans
have so Ii tie political connexon with any nation but
England, that diplomatic Campaign against US en-
crosses the attention and interest of the whole peo
ple We, the other hand, regard such differences
as OF secondary Importance 10 the of Euro
pean policy. Hence, in all these questions the Amer
lean politicians aim is victory; that OF the English
man is to be dsembarrassed of vexatlous and often
unlnteliglble controversy. In the present case we
very well afford to wait and see what are the pre-
else objections Of The American Senate and what
new demands Mr.. Dallas will have 10 make, after de-
clarng himself satisfied with the settlement which
was made four months ago."
