MEMPHIS APPEAL.
WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1855
PROsPECTs OF COmING WAR.


Russia triumphs all along the line.
The European powers shut their eyes
to the certAinty that when Russia has
subdued the small powers that are in
its way it will begin to threaten the
large ones. To stlve off present diff
Guilty is all they aim at; the future is
left to blind chance. Alexander
must abdicaie because Russia de-
SIRE, and Europe looks on helpless.
Biemarck recommends Alexander to
abdicate, although 1t is thought likely
that such an act will cause civil war
in Bulgaria, and Turkey is preparing
her armies for coming events. The
London press regards Germany and
Austria as pledged to neutrality
whatever Russia may do with Alex
ardsr, yet Austria can hardly
avoid war If the trouble be-
comss more serious, while the
people and srmy officers Of Germany
are indignant at what is going on. AS
usual the people gee dangers the gov
erDments are blind 10. The London
Times Gays significantly that Ger
many and Austria are probably con.
scious of inability to prevent the Rue
sian advance. II this be correct the
peace of E1rope hangs on a thread.
The London Post expects no peace as
long as the wrong wrought by Russia
remains unavepged, while the News
regsrds Bulgaria as already pratt cally
q Russian province, and the Chronicle
pronouuces Bismarck the creator OF
the present situation, which is worse
in the Balkans than ever. The fact is
tha. the advance OF tie democratic
spirit in Europe hes alarmed all the
arbitrary powers, and they are banded
together to put down the advance Of
mind by harsh and stern deeds
OF mere power. But the world
moves onward, and swords
and cannon will fail to
stop the march OF popular sentin en-.
and The demands Of justice. Active
measures are not looked for at pree-
ent, however, SIS winter is approach
ing in the Balkans and spring mus. be
waited for. Russian doings in Bull
garia have the conquest Of Turkey
and the seizure OF Constantinople as
their ultimate object. This Austria
must resist, or her possessions will be
in peril, and England must oppose
Russia obtaining q footing on the
Mediterranean, or her means OF &C
cess to her East India provinces is en-
daugered. The prospect for the fut-
ure is ominous in The extreme.

patriotism and his capacity for wise
legislation. For some months an OPP
position to his return has been devel-
oped, which it seems was tt'opg
enough on Friday last to Sc
curs his defeat at the conven-
ton held at Fran kiln Courthouse. Mr..
Martin voted against the consideri-
ton OF the tariff bill reported by Mr..
NJ rrisou from the Ways and Means
Committee, and without making fur
Their Inquiries, it is more than prob
able that but for that vote, he would
today be the nominee of the putty
for Representative in the Fiftieth Cor
g ess He has during the present Con-
gress been &C i've and vigilant, and no
matter how greatly Others might have
desired to occupy the seat there would
have been no change, in the Aduerti-
~r's judgment, If Mr.. Martin had not
given the unfortunate vote against
considering the bill especially reported
as taft measure" A similar fate
awaits the Democrats who IS listed the
Republicans in defeating teriff reform
The Democracy Of the country have
no patience wi h those Democrats who
voted even against any consideration
OF a measure for the relief OF the
people from the oppressive burdens
OF protective war tariff. The pro-
t(ctsd monopolists who thrive at the
expense OF the unprotected industries
are bowling over the defeat OF Martin.
But the people aye determined 10 rele-
gate TO private life eve.y Demo rat
who favors the taxing OF the farmer
and every other industry for the benz
fit Of rich monopolists. Both par les
are pledged to tariff reform, tariff re-
vision, tariff reduc ion. The Score
ta,ies OF the Treasury, both Republi-
eau and Democratic, during the last
three years have recommended 10
vision and reduction OF the tariff, and
no Democrat who voted against the
co ntideration Of bill having for lie
object the reform prom's d is worthy
of the confidence OF the Democratic
party. The noise OF the protective
d smocrats at Birmingham misled
The noise OF few protection
Democrats here in Memphis is mis-
The people who ask no pro
lection are unwilling TO be taxed t.
protect other industries, and the fate
Of Martin and the Democrats who fol-
low Mr.. Randall will bs the fate OF
every Democrat who f.vors a pro.
tective tariff.
