If, as the telegraph announces, Crete
has yielded, She has not relin1uishcd her
purpose. The unhappicst sign is that
the meeting here to express sympathy for
the struggling Cretans las excited Il GER
tain Kind OF censure. Here Is an island,
five thousand miles away, peopled by
Greeks and ruled by Turks 1t has never
ceased, and no Greek population 50
ruled ever did cease. to protest against
tine tyranny that Expresses it. The
country is not only de>potically governed
by aliens IN race, but aliens in religious
faith. Now the differences of religion
are fierce and tiGal. The Greeks may be
OF Il very poor kind of Christian, in our
judgmcmt-ihey may be very ignorant,
lndulent, knavish, semi barbarous-but
1t Is in Just such a people, where religion
degencrltes into superstition, that fierce
differences become ficrcer and religious
quarrels more bitter. What Il Turkish
government, following a conquest Of ''in-
tidels, Is, we all know. How much Sc
curity, how much justice, how much en-
ioyment Of common rights is possible I'M
der it, needs not to be argued. The
Turkish rule Of a conquered people is
merely Il heel and sword point and
they are not bound TO submit a single
moment beyond that when hope and Dies
par together rouse their arm to strike
back for freedom.
The Cretan struggle is fight for lib
erty; 1t Is a claim for Justice, and those
only Will sneer at it who are fit to be
slaves, That it is not a hopeless fight is
shown by the fact that Turkey has striven
in vain for three years to regain the is
land, and that Europe is now meeting to
decide what shall be done. And :hen
somebody asks, what business is it of
ours Liberty is every wher. every
mans business. If he is passing through
the street and sees one man assaultine
another-it Is not his quarrel, probably
he may pass quietly by upon the other
side. Ii assassins attack Mr. Rogers at
his own door, let Rogers and the rutians

Election of L. 5. Senators.

Tuesday of this week several Of the
state legislatures elected United States
senators Massachusetts reelected Mr..
Sumner. and Michigan Mr.. Chandler.
Maine chose Mr. Hamlin: New York.
Gov. Fenton Pennsylvania, John Scott
Missouri. Carl Scurz and in Delaware
James A. Bayard was elected to the re-
mainder of the late Senator Riddles
term. which he i now filling by appoint
ment. and lis son, Thomas +. Bayard,
was elected for the next term OF SIN
year, from March /, 1863. The Wis
consin legislature nominated Matt ii.
Carpenter for senator on the sixth ballot,
but the Nebraska legislature still fails 10
nominate Mr. Upton, the present III
cumbent, polls the highest vote, and
Gov Baker the next highest In lndi-
ana there was u bolt of few republic
can, from Mr.. Cumback, enough 10
make linn fail of an election, Mr.. Hem
bricks receiving the full democratic vote.
There has been 4 GOOD deal Of feeling
respecting the contests in New York and
Maine. In the latter state there were
two prominent republican candidates be
fore the legislature, Mr.. lIamlin and Mr..
lot NJ Morrill, In the caucu, Mr..
IIamlin received - votes and Mr.. Nor
rill 74-whcn the latter Withdrew from
the field. This result was Il dSappoimt
mcnt to Il large party, as may be inferred
from the caucus vote.
In New York the contest was more
acrimonious than in Maine. Nearly ev
cry body anticipated the denomination OF
2lr. Morgan. Some, however, who
were inside the RIM predicted ten days
ago that the man who used the most
money would win 3; and it i generally
believed that Mr. Frnon's nomination
was brought about 10y the funds of the
Lrie railroad. 1t i, SAID publicly that
tie Erie paid 100000 or more last
spring for Gov. Frntoms Signature 10

iuation tor the Senate i part of TIL,

publican saw; NO man, out of Penn

United State, Senate under such Grave
suspicion of having used corrupt and dis
honorable influences for his political pro-
'rotion, indeed with such positive charges
