We had approached TO within three hundred yards

from the facility with which the batteries might de-

from the probability of the steamer falling and

" of the War in Afghanstan."
Now, TO illustrate the real relations OF Palmers
ton with Russia, against which he pretended to
have set up the Afghan war; one instance may sut-
fee for the present. The Russian agent Nicevitch.
who came TO Cabool in 1857, was the bearer of a
letter from the Gar to Dost Mohammed. Sir Alex
ander Burnes obtained copy of the letter, and
sent il TO Lord Auckland, the Governor-General Of
India In his own dispatches, and various docu-
ments inclOsed by him, this circumstance is re-
ferred TO over and again. But the copy of the
Cars letter was expuDged altogether from the
papers presented by Palmerston in 1889, and in
every dispatch in which it is referred TO- such a.
terstious were made as were necessary to suppress
the circumstance Of the connection Of the . Empe-
"ror of Russia" with the mission to Cabool This
forgery was committed in order to suppress the
evidence Of the Autocrat's connection with Vico-
witch, whom, on bis return 10 st. Petersburg, it
suited Nicholas to formerly dissyow. For instance,
at page - Of the Blue Book will be found the
translation of q letter to Dost Mohammed, which
reads now as follows, the brackets showing the
words originally suppressed by Palmerston:
"The ambassador on the part OF the Russia Tor
Emperor came from Moscow to TeheIan, and has
beer appointed TO wait the Sncas at Csndshar and
thence 10 proceed TO the presence OF the Amer. He
is the bearer Of confidential messages from the En-
peror ard of the letters from the Russian Enbsssdor
at Teheran. The Russian Embasssdor recommends
this man to be most trusfy individual and to possess
full authority to make any negotstons, lon the part OF
the Emperor and himself !, ETC., etc.
These. and similar forgerles committed by Pal
merton in order to protect the honor OF the Car,
are not the only curiosity exhibited BY the AN
chan papers," The invasion Of Aiighanistan was
justified by Palmerston on the ground that Sir
Alexander Burnes had advised il as proper means
for battling Russian ntrigues 10 Central ASIA Now

procure a substitute. Suppose such an
individual after having incurred this
penalty, had gone to foreign country
and become naturalizod there and then
returned to Pennsylvania. is il possible
to imagine that for this reason the arm
of the State authorities would be para
lyged, ano that they could not exact the
penalty? state these examples to show
more clearly both the extent and the
limitation Of rightful Hanoverian juris-
dicton in such cases. IL is impossible
to ioresee all the varying circumstances
which may attend cases as they may
arise but it is believed that the princi
pies laid down may generally be suffi-
ciont to guide your conduct.
1t is to be deeply regretted chat tho
German governments evince so much
tenacity on this subject. II would be
better, far better, for them, considering
the comparatively small number Of their
native subjects who return to their do
minions after being natmalized in this
country, not to attempt to exact military
service from them They will prove to
be most reluctant soldiers. II they vi
olate any law of their native country
during their visit, they are, of course,
amenable like other American citizens.
1t would be cad misfortune if, for the
sake of an advantage SO trihing to such
governments, they should involve them
selves in serious difficulties with coun-
try so DESTROYS as we are of maintaining
with them the most friendly relations,
1t is fortunate that serious difficulties Of
this kind arc mainly confined to the Ger
man States and especially that the
laws of Great Britain do not authorize
any compulsory military service what

WRITING FOR THE Press. - There is no
class of people more frequently sneercd
at than editors. 1t is the easiest thing
in the world to charge them with being
mercenary; to say that such and such an
article was paid for; that anybody can
have anything praised or abused in a
paper, if he will pay for it; and, says a
wiseacre, every now and then, ''If had
newspaper here, wouldn't / pitch into
this or that, and wouldn't show the
people what an independent paper is ?"
Well, my friend and pitcher, why not
establish a paper, and 'pitch into every
thing and every body? Nobody can
object to your doing so. The papers that
are in the habit Of pitching into every
thing are the most easily edited in the
world It is only well-practiced and
matured editors that possess that wisdom
and true independence which consists in
refusing to "pitch in" that manliness
which can withstand public clamor,
that can scoru personalities, aud that can
treat public questions with the dignity
and sobernoss that can alone secure re-
spect for the press.

THE TRICKS OF THE OPPOSITION. Tho
Boston Post thus alludes to ono of tho
stratagems of our noisy opponents:
Like the pickpoeket who joins the pur-
suing crowd and shouts Justify 'stop
thief" this shameless faction is now en-
gagged in the vain attempt to saddle off
their own corruption upon Mr.. Buchan-
ans Administration But they evident
ly find the labor herculean and just now
there appears to be lull in their empty
and baselcss charges of extravaganza.
1t will not prove "a good enough Nor.
gan" in the next presidential campaign
even for Thurlow Weed They will
do much better to stick to the inevitable
Niger" in some shape or other--a sub
jcct moro congenial to their peculiar tastes
and preferences. While the Abmihistra-
ton, with crippled means, for which il
is in no wise responsible, has been stopping
treasury leaks reducing expenditures
wherever it is possible, and thus mana
cling TO transact well and faithfully the
public business, in spite Of forty or fifty
per cent, reduction in tho revenue, what
has the black republican opposition, which
pratcs so loudly about democratic OK

Ef7- The Opposition trouble them
selves a great deal about what they call

but the following groan from the New

their own stomach:
:" If the dictatorial course which is
now absurdly pursued by certain presses
and politicians assuming to speak author
itatively for large interest Of the Oppo-
sition. should be continued, against the
dictates of good policy aud justice, they
may as well conclude at once that no
union or harmony can be expected, and
AZ a necessary consequence, that defeat
may be anticipated in 1860"
