Moderate party, or Latltudinarians, as they
were generally called. He was master of
pungent humor, and brought his re-
markabe powers of railery and satire to the
support of orthodox religion. HIS writings were
suited to the taste of the New-Jersey Presbyterans
and in 1866 he received an invitation to the pres-
dency of the college. He declined the proposal at
first for domestic reasons but afterward changed his
mind and entered upon the Office in 176S. His ac-
cession called forth general congratulations He
found the college at low estate. He introduced
into its curriculum the Scottish mental philosophy
and sought to inspire taste for elegant literature
1t was not in his power to erect new buildings, and
endow prOfessorships, but he made vigorous appeals
TO the friends of learning to extinguish the college
debt. He produced so favorable an Impression that
the necessary funds were soon collect, L. His ad-
ADMINISTRATION was at once firm and gentle, exercis-
ing rigid justice, but without any show of au-
thorty. The wisdom of his conduct and the
sOlidity of his character gave him great influence
in the highest intellectual circles. James Madison
valued has instruction so much that he spent an
other year at Princeton after graduating to enjoy
q closer intimacy with the president. But the ap-
proach Of the Revolutionary war cast dark
shadow over the prosperity of the college. Dr.
Witherspoon was called to service in the Cont-
mental Congress, and for six years bis connection
the end of the war the college was left in a
state of great impoyerishment, but by the strenu-
Gus efforts Of its friends, it was greatly relieved
from its embarrassed condition before the death of
President WitherspOOn in 1874. AT the interval of
nearly century, the present state of the institution
Is one of unexampled prosperity. Since the acces-
sion Of President McCOsh in 1858. money has flowed
into the treasury like water the of education
has been enlarged and elevated, and the college
placed on level with the highest seats Of learning

beginnings in 1854 to its present fourishing state

its distinguished corps of professors in the various

RESULTS OF THE CONGRESS OF
THE GREAT POWERS.

Lord Beacons6eld is convinced that
the results of the Congress would be
highly gratifying to Europe, and that
this happy result was due to the persis-
tent and devoted efforts of its illustrious
president. The Congress has signed the
treaty and adjourned.
SYNOPSIS OF THE TREATY.
The first twelve articles of the treaty
relate to Bulgaria, which is constituted
an autonomatic tributary principality,
under the suzerainty of the Sultan, with
Christian government and national
militia. The next nine articles relate
to the new province called Eastern Rou-
melia, south of the Balkans, which is
placed under the direct military and po-
litlcal authority of the Sultan, but with
a Christian governor and in the condi-
lions of autonomous administration.
Bulgaria has been divided, but in the
/
interest of Russia, who will gain more
than she will lose by the division. Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina have been virtual
ly yielded to Austria. The independence
of Montenegro, Servia and Roumania
has been recognized. The strip of Bes.
sarabia lost by Russia in 1856, through
the Crimean war, has been restored t.
her. The Dobrudja has been annexed
to Roumania, and the frontiers of Mon
tenegro and Servia have been readjust
ed. The Danube is to be free for al
nations in time of peace.
What has Russia gained by the wa
that cost her so much blood and treas
ure? Much more than might at frs
be supposed. Russia has achieved tn
first steps towards the partitioning Q
Turkey. She has won guarantees fo
her own natural preponderating inhu
ence in Northern Turkey. And he
grand, ostensible object in declaring an
making war upon Turkey has been az
complished-the Liberation of the bull
of the Christian population throughor
European Turkey from Turkish tyrann
and oppression. She is hundred an
fifty years nearer Constantinople and tt
Mediterranean than before, and h;
made her power felt in Europe in wa
; that has enhanced her prestige and con
s PEELED the respect of her bitterest en-
d mics.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1878-07-22


1t seems that England has come in
for share of the spoils that result from
the Russian war, and has won by diplo-
macy what might have cost millions of
treasure and great loss of life in the
field. Her influence in the making of
the great treaty is shown for good, in the
fact that greater liberty is to be given
to all creeds of belief, in the right of
worship. nvorywhoro in tho vaot territory
that has been kept in the ignorance and
intolerance of Mohammedanism. Eng
land, doubtless, has selfish ends in view,
but one thing is sure, and that is, that
every nation or province which she in
fuences or controls is lifted out of the
darkness of ignorance and paganism into
the light. This last victory of hers in
Turkey, is victory for civilization and
Christianity.
