Tf the Goneral will take the office, it is possiblo there will be a general desire among the people of all parties to see him elected, nssurances that Itnssin did not intend to tonch it. As to tho Peraian Gulf, Russia Iind no interests thero, and of course no in. tentions, and with equal force a disclaimer wns mado ns to Constautinople, which she liad not dreamed of acquiring; and Gonr- seniagorr closed his letter with tho declarn- tion: Tnesia has remalned trne to her programme in alming nolely at impeoving the condition of the sorvice, but wonld concoive and ennct such leginlntion as is necessary to give perma. nency toa acientific and virtnous civil servico; certainly, no ona can doubt that President Harra wonld cast all his influenco in favorof such leginlation, Yet tho Nation is dis. posed to grnmble and cronk becauso Preai- dont Hayea is doing tho Leat ho ean, and to blame him becanse his opportunities aro not fimi need scoms ta bo an appreciation of better Mring in material convenlences and comforts, They live beyond the progtabla Nimit of Rimpliecity.

In dotail, ita nssertions nre atill mora unjnst. We aro told that, bocanse a bad ap- pointment liko QGrorax Buriea's was n “mistako " (which waa recalled as soon ng iteconld be), the peoplo of this country will believe that ail the good appointments, though they bo in a ratio of 1,000 to 1 bad appointment, will regard them os ‘‘mis. takes " nlso. This is a novel theory, and could only be verified it tho people of tho United States were all a9 unjnst and narrow- minded an its inventor; happily, they are not, and 199 good afipointments will not be regarded 08 *‘ mintakes"—that is, mado withont purpose, or accidentally—becanse ono bad nppointment intervenes batwoeen them nnd the next 999 good ones. Nor will tho people of the Usited States permit the Nation to be tho judge of the fitnoss of Presidont ITavzs’ appolutments, if its com. meats on thése nlrendy made embody its standand. If the appointment of a man like Fnzpzaicx Dovarass is to be condomned na having besn made *'for a purely politioal end,” then the Nation's standard is trans. cendontal, nnd sublunary politica cannot be regulated nccordingly, Frenerick Douvarass is n man of charncter, intelligence, and educa. tion, and commands the respect of the whole country; as to’ **special fitness,” ho has more of it than a good many who have pre- ceded him, and a general fitness that cannot bo donied; as to political ndvantage, there was as little of it to bo gained by solocting Freosnick Dovcrass ns any person who could have boen named for the place. So the reflection upon Mr. Monniwy's appoint- ment is gratuitous, and shows n disposition not to bo ploased with anything. Ho has been s prominent public man, whose charac. tor has been unimpeached during a long sorvice, nnd if President Havzs' prodecessor thonght him worthy to bo made Secratary of the Tronsury (in which position Mr, Monnirt waa certninly suporior to many other of Gnaxt's Cabinet nppointmonts), there is a justifieation for his appointment to the Col- lectorship at Portland; indecd, there is no rensonnble room to doubt that Mr. Monnmt will make o good officer in bLis prosent posi- tion, and there was not the slightest impro- prioty in soleoting him. Of course we will have to fight for the nominntion of n good man na successor to Presidont Haves; that is o fight that will always havo to bo mado, and wo can concelvo thie, she will fall back on the resointions of the Constantinople Conference, and contend for snch fguarantecs an will insure tho efficacy of the reforma, asking the Powers to take np the throad whore it wns hroken bytha diesointion of the Conference. This ought to have been sufficiont tosatisfy n jenlonsy as inaonsato even s the English, but following upon this the Cznar arrives at Tlolesti and the Governmont calis ont 250,. 000 moro troops, and straightway all En. glond is in a furor again, But what is there in the presonco of the Czar in Roumania so daugerous to England? Some allowancos may bo made for national pride. Vox Mort- & took his Emporor to the field of battla ‘moro than once, bocanse it inspired the Germnan troops. Will not the knowl. edgo that the Czar is prosent in person in- Apire tha Russian troops with still greater detormination and conrage in mnking the dangerons passage of the Danube? If the Government Jins called ont another quarter of amillion of men, will it not make tho war sharper, quicker, and more decisivo? Already tho Turkish campaign in Asia is vir- tually lost. Is it not a wise policy, then, that concentrates an overwhelming force in Eu. Topo Ao s to end the war in a short cam. paign? Thero is one point in tho Russian declaration that has undoubtedly holped to arouse anow the war feeling in Eu: ropn, and that s Gonrtsomaxorr'a declarntion that ** Russin thinks o im- portant n maritime passage ns the Dar- dnnelles must alwnys be regulnted by inter national ngreoment, and not by ono Power alone. Sho disclaima any intention of nc- quiring Constantinople, though at the samo time sllo could not consent to its possossion by any other Christian Power.,” This is a telling blow at English protension. En- gland has always considercd berself na tho arbitor of tha destinies of Constantinople, and this declaration is tantamount to a noti- fication that the other Europenn Powers liave some intorest in the final disposition of that city as well as England, and thatno permanont ocenpation of it can be made by any Power without tho consent of Europe. While, thereforo, it isn disclaimer on the past of Russia, it is nt tha same timo & warn- ingto England {o koop honds of. What England will now do remains to be seen.

People of this kind aro unfortunately enconntersd in all walks of life, nud the Now York Nation oc. castonally affords a strikingly disagreeablo ilinstration of their tendencles in political affaira.

Edneation is the starting.point. Theso peo- plo will have no ambition to improve, no disposition to work, no taste for social life, no attachment to conntry without it. Glve them n system of genoral oducation,—place them 7n an equal footing with the thrifty, intolligont, reading, prosperousfarmera of tho Northwest, and seotional hatred, and raco projundicos, and narrow viows, will spoedily give way to a pride in national strength, unity, harmony, and resonrces that will rendor the progress of this country sim. ply illimitable.

Whon tho Russian Government announced that it would act alone in scouring Bclavio reforms if the other Towors did not co-operate, the old jealousy blazed out so furiously that the Czar sont his personal promise to the English Government that uo English Intoreata would be endan. gered. For a timo all was quiot agaig, but then followed the Protocol ond th¥ War Manifcsto, and again was English joalousy aroused becouse tlors was no definite declaration a8 to English intorosts in oither of theso documents. It is not clearly spparent why they should bave boen spocifiod. There are other nations—Italy, Gormany, sud Austrin—that have direot in.-| terosta in this strugglo as woll as England, but none of thom have taken exceptions to tho fact that Russin mede no allusions to Dunublan commerce, acquisition of terri. tory, tho founding of indopendont Bclavonio principalities, or the organizing of a great Pan-Bclavonic Empire. In a declaration of war it is not customary for a great nation to specify what it is not going to do, but whot it {s going to do, and this specification waa made by Russia in most olear and emphatio form, namely, that sho intended to secare the reforms demanded of Turkey, with guarantecs for their execution. As the Russian army advanced into Rouma- nin, aud the army of the latter Power co-op- erated with the former, the English jealousy became 8o intense that a do- termined effort was wado to establish an alliance with Austris, which was undoubtedly checked by the skillful hand of- Bissancx, For a time matters were quiet sgain ; bLut when the Russian forces were encamped along the north bank of the Danube, aud preparations to cross becamo visible, then tho old jealousy began to fume and rage, and took the form of absoluto de- wand. Lord Dzusy made an officlal inter- rogation of Russia whether she intended to interfere with English intercsts after her armies had crossed the Danube. With ad. mirsble patience and coolness Prince Gorr- scuaxory asked what those futcrests were, The reply was made that they included the Buez Canal and Egypt, Constantinople and tho Porsian Gulf, Prince Gontscuaxorr, as ho had dono over and over before, replicd that Hussin had oo intentisn of interfering with any of them, Bo far ns the Snez Canal was concerued, ho gave the wost poaitive o duty?
