THE LAST or FonEl0x krEaSESrIoy.-H was
stated few weeks since by the London tory
journals that Russia had joined France in pro-
posing to EngIand joint mediation in Anne
rican affairs. This assertion ID now formally
deuied by the St. Petersburg Journal, thus con-
firming the opinion that we have all along ex-
pressed, that Russia would take no part In any
unfrierdiy step against this country. The
Queens speech at the closing of Parliament
is also conclusive, SO far as words CO. of the
determination of England to abstain from in
reference with us of any kind.
When the rebellion broke out the European
governments believed-;.nd the wish was pa
rent 10 the conviction-that our republican in
situations had proved a failure. The fact that
we had no standing army and but an insgnid-
cant navy confirmed this belief That they
did not at the outset lend forcible hand to
our downfall was owing merely to tie per-
suason that il was unnecessary. As soon as
they found, however, that we were serious in
our purpose of putting down the rebellion
they began to agitate the question OF q forcib!e
Intervention. Nothing but their fear of each
other and the difficulty Of arriving at harmo-
NOUS action ia our regard prevented them from
carrying il into effect. Now that they have
seen the ease with which we can raise million,
or even t"o millions, of tie best fighting troops
in the world, and the rapidity with which we
have built up formidable navy, they have be-
come thoroughly alarmed, and admit 10 them
selves that republican Institutions are, instead
of a failure, success of the most complete
and startling kind. We shall hear no more
talk of intervention now, for the very good rea-
son, as the London Times tremblingly observes,
that any more threats OF this sort VIII only have
the eject Of putting an additional three hundred
thousaI I'd Northern in the field. But there
is another reason still more potent for this
change of tone, and that is, that our success
here is already setting in motion the rcyolu-
tionary element abroad lie small cloud that
rresagcs the storm has awakened European
anxieties in the pronunciamento OF Garba.di
The democracy Of Europe Rave, in fact, only
been waiting to see how we would maintain
ourselves 10 again set the ear .h II notion under
the feet Of tleir oppressols. They now have as
firm faith in our triumph as we have cur
selves, and they will profit by the renewed
strcngil. which our success will afford them 10
make fresh efforts to shake of the despotism
under which they arc groaniDg 1t is 10 won
der, tlcn, that the European governments,
through their organs. should Eo,s be anxious %
disci.irn all intention Of interference with Us.
Were our memories as short rs ibis change OF
disposition il would DO well for their Interests
GRrgLEY AND GsENETr.-lccr Greeley cd

are equal, if not superior. to white men. We
sap 9se that Greeley speahs Only fcf hinselt,
ard we are very sorry FOR nin,. Tie practical re-
suits Of general ANAL ganlation, and oil lie le-
ccsnition Of tie mental moral, soc.il, and poll
teal equali Of the white and black races would
be no more disastrous, however, tLaa those Of
many Other isms which poor Greeley has for
sacfly advocated This crazy, contemplate
wretch, who now asserts The equality oil white
men and negroes, formerly asserted, with qllte
as much peIsistcncy and lervor, that all men
should have property in common; that all
persons should live in common; that all women
should be common prostitutes. These damn
able doctrines, under the names OF Fourrierite-
ism, phaianxism and ireelovesm, Greeley OPEN
ly professcd and daily advocated in his Tribune.
One by one these abominable paintings of his
lave been siranglei, and now abolitionism-
which is n part Of the same accused brood
only remains. With the others he sought to
break up sl society aud to abolish the ius!ltrl-
ton of the family. With this last he has
attempted to break up the Union ard
to put white men ard black uron
an equality in everything. With the other
isn.s he did much harm, and debaucLed many
Innocent people. With this last he mas involved
us in civil war and sacrificed thousands of
valuable lives Undoubtedly Greeley bo-
li'ionism Will finally be put down, as his other
isms have been; bat at what a terrible cost of
blood and treasure will this BIO accomplished!
When tie white and black races are once ar
rsyed against each other one OF them will be
exterminsted. To shat point Greeley and his
tool, the black parson Garnett, arc fast hasten
ing matters. They are the enemies OF both the
white ard black races alike; their efforts injure
tie negroes as much as they injure the white
people. Sensible persons Of both races hate and
despise them. Greeley may call himself the
equal of negro, but in reality lie is the equal
of something blacher--of Beclzebub himself.
