THE EUROPEAN WAR.

At last Europe is palpably on the very eve of
that great war whose approach has been clear to
all seeing ewes ever since the LIST Of January The
Niagara. which arrived st Halifax yesterday, re-
ports that on the Goth ult, Austria addressed to
Piedmont an ultmstum TO whose demands an az
I frmatiyc answer was required by the 9th These
demands are that Piedmont shall Immediately dis
| arm and especially shall dismiss the volunteers
who have been gathering to her standard in cOnsid
cradle numbers from all parts of Italy within the last
/ two months If these conditions are not COM
piled with in the time specified, Austria will at
| once declare war; and this menace is supported by
the movement of force Of $1,000 men upon the
Piedmoptese frontier in addition ii said, 10 those
already collected there. This army is of course in
tended for the immediate invasion of Piedmont
and will proceed to cross the line the instant war
is formally proclaimed.
Thus the responsibility of actually commencing
hos.ilties, and of striking the first blow, is thrown
upon Austria; but the moral responsibility viii rest
M, 80 much on her as on those who have forced
| the necessity upon her The situation, TO borrow
q French phrase, ia not of her making; she has
done nothing which can be construed into provo
cation beyond standing upon her tresties with the
smaller Italian Ststes-tresties older than Louis
Nspoleons Government and made only when they
could not be dispensed with or avoided Besides
she knows, and everybody knows, that LOUIS Ma
poieon has meant war from the first, and that all
his negotiations and proposals Of Congresses have
been merely devices TO gain time and to render her
comparatively incapable of resistance. She has
chosen the holder aud msnler II not the wiser

sEaMEN AND THEIR FRIENDS.

On Monday evening next, the anniversary OF the
American Seamen's Friend Society is to be cec-
brated at Dr. Cheever's Church. As we may not
have another opportunity, We make our speech
now and here.
We believe the Seamen's Friend Society has now
been some thirty or forty years in operation,
during which period it has sustained missionaries
in home aud foreign ports, distributed good many
books and tracts and raised and spent considerable
money We presume that its officers and managers
are worthy men, and that the Society does some
good, and would like to do more.
And yet-for the truth must be spOken-thc
average character of American seamenis now lower
than il was the day this Society was organized,
while their need of wise and powerful friends was
never greater than now. For, of al the abused,
belabored, outraged classes of men on Gods foot
stool the men who sail American vessels,
under American officers, with the American
flag flying over their heads, are the most
mauled, manned, dashed, gashed, cut up and every
way tortured and brutaGzed. The treatment of
negro slaves by white (or black masters and
overseers is indefensbly bad but that of Amer-
can seamen is still worse. Take thousand white
sailors and ten thousand black slaves at random,
and We are confident the amount Of abuse aud tor
ture inflicted on the former exceeds the Kindred
suferings of the latter The especial brutality and
ierocity Of American shp-Iaasters and mates is no.
torious from Cape Horn TO the Baltic. They are
ottener had up for trial on charges Of murder,
slaughter manning. cruelty. &c, than twice their
number in the marine of any other country. A
majority of our veteran .esme9 would rather ship
for voyage under TURK or Agerine than under
an American.
| OF course, there are noble and striking eX-
ceptions but the general case is as above stated
OF course too the sesmen trained under the disci-
pine We have hastily outlined are stolid and alb
lect class so used TO being kicked. and cuhed and
Knocked down, that they have lost all selfrespec.
al sense Of shame, al aspiration TO the good opn-
ion of others. The generous, simple-hearted,
open-hsnded, rollickng Jack Tar Of other days ha'
vanished, and in his stead We have debsuched,
| downcast, sulky rufian, who is thrown on shore
| Ia squsnder his remnant of wages IN the very low
est and vilest qualification Of his deprsyed appe.
tites, and then taken drunk to obviousness aboard
fresh vessel, and shipped for voyage BY . con
tract in making which he has had 40 more conscious
agency than has any bale of goods that goes on the
same vessel From being for brief sesson the
prey Of all manner Of detestable landsharks, be
wakes to be harshly ordered to duty thencefor
ward to be the victim Of despotim and cruelty til

The a. Y. Times is totally mistaken in the con-
trast which it draws between the action OF the
Supreme Court of Ohio in the case Of Bushnell and
that of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin in the
case Of Booth. SO far as matters have yet gone
the Supreme Court of Ohio, instead of pursuing, as
The Time, supposes, course Numerically opposite
to that of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, has
been guided in rejecting the application made to it
for writ of habeas corpus entirely by the prece-
dent established by the Wisconsin Court Booths
case was twice before that Court. The first ap-
pcation to it was immediately after Booth had
been arrested. That application was refused on
the ground that the matter WAS still pending and
undecided in the United States Court, and that
there was no ground at that time to apply to the
State Court on Booths behalf, since it was TO be
supposed that if the proceedings against him were
inconsistent with his rights as citizen of Wiscon-
sin, the United States Court would so decide, and
would accordingly discharge him. 1t was upon
this principle, and upon this precedent, that the
late decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio was
based. There were, indeed, some differences
between the two cases, but none which
touched this principle. Booths case was
civil suit - recover penalty, while
Bushnell's is criminal procedure. Booths
application was made Immediately after his arrest.
Bushnell's not till after the verdict of jury had
been recorded against him; but in both cases no
final Judgment had been rendered. and therefore in
both cases alike the application was premature. Il
was like attempting to carry up case to Court
of Appeals on the ground of defects in the declara
ton or indictment, without waiting for the judy
ment Of the lower Court thereon.
After final judgment had been rendered against
Booth, he made second application to the Wis
cOnsin Supreme Court, and it was upon that appli-
cation that the Judgment was rendered to which
The Times refers. II appears to be the intention
of Bushnell and his counsel after final Judgment is
rendered against him, to make second application
TO the Ohio Supreme Court. In deciding the
former ease the Court carefully avoided any ex-
preston Of opinion upon any of the points which
would be involved in this new application, and 1t
still remains to be whether the Court, having
followed the Wisconsin precedent in the one case,
will not follow il also in the other.

SLAVERY AGITATION.

Who would have expected, after many denun-
Citations launched BY the leaders of the Democratic
party against the agitation of the Slavery question
that at this moment they themselves should be the
greatest agitators of that very question: Yet
such is precisely the fact. The power Of Congress
over. Slayery-the discussion Of which even in
that body it was once attempted to suppress BY
gag-rules, now forms standing subject Of debate
not in Congress merely, but in the official organ
snd other leading Democratic prints; and, though
we have ceased 10 be threatened with the dissolu-
ton of the Union unless this discussion can be
stopped, il evidently goes at the manifest haz-
ard of the dissolution of the Democratic party.
And what renders this discussion more remark.
able is, that il does not grow out of any external
movement forced. as il were upon the disputsnts
against their will, and which their position obiges
them TO meet but that il relates entirely 10 alb
srsct point of Constitutional Interpretation and is
discussed merely as an article Of political faith, With
no reference 10 any practical question waiting for
and demanding an immediate decision.
II may truly be said that, 80 far as the OppOsi'
ton politicians and political newspapers are con
cerned, they were never, Ike the Democrats
volunteers in the discussion Of the Slavery ques
ton. That discussion was brought on without any
agency on their part, and it was only BY absolute
necessity, and the obligation Of meeting present
act which could not be avoided, that they wer,
led, and generally speaking with the greatest hest
tstion md reluctance, TO take part in il The,
had nothing whatever to do with the getting up ant
the presentation TO Congress Of the petitions fol
the abolition of Slavery in the District Of Colum
bia and the Territories which first brought III,
