Boyd, &c, Kesppean Prospecta—fhe Coming Conflict between Russia ana une Usited Scaws, It would be not a little curious if the Russian and American squadrons, cruising within a few days sail of each other in the Pacific, should actually come into collision and disturb the friendly relations now existing between the United States and the Muscovite empire. The event has already been anticipated by writers whose character gives a certain weight to their opinions; and though for our part we have suf- ficient confidence iu the pradence of Russia and the discretion of Commodore Perry to look upon it ae exceeding'y improbable, it is by no means a contingency which can be regarded as beyond the pale of possibility. Should such an occur- rence take place, and Russia exhibit towards this country a demeanor as haughty aod as overbearing as she has displayed in her negoti- ations with Turkey and ber allies. there can be little reason’ for doubting that tve world would witness an explosion anda conflict compared to which the present European difficulties are mere children’s squabbles, One has only to examine from the point of view of an entirely disinterested observer the absolute and relative condition of the various States which collectively constitute the civili- zed world. to see how vast would be the io- terests involved and how great the principle at stake in such a contest. The world contains tut two solid powers at the present moment, embodiments of directly antagonistic and hostile dogmas These are Russia and the United States. The former is a sound, substantial permanent despotism. It contains within it few or none of the distracting elements which mevace the other powers of Europe. Its prin- ciples are clearly understood by all parties, falvb‘ully carried out by +ha poling oligarchy, and patiently endured by the masses. ‘The mate rial resources of the Kingdon are vast, aua susceptible of such enormous expansion tbat it could sustain itself in an isolated position with- out perceptible hardship. A fierce religiou, spirit binds together tbe various tribes whic! constitute its subj: cts; a strong feeling of at- tachment to their institutions and loyalty to their sovereign seems to preclude the possi- bility ofan internal disruption among the peo- ple. Nocancer gnaws the core of the Musco- viteswav Norevolutionary tendencies threaten its permanence. Even Poland is tranquil; and the fervor of patriotism buras not more ardeutly on tbe banks of the Hudson or the Potomac than in the plains of Novogoroo or on the shores of the Baltic. This edifies, eo colidly founded and co proudly rearing its head to heaven, rests entirely on one great prineiple—the annihila- tien ot popular liberty and the concentration of power in the bands of a few. The United States, on the other band, rest on adiametrically opposite principle. Here the few are nothing. Miuoritiesare crushed—all power belongs to the masses. Reared under such an envobling principle as this. every man among us feels himself a part of the State. and en- dows it with bis individual courage and energy. Hence the towering strength possessed by our country. If we fight, we do so not for hire or even for the tinsel prize of militury glory : we contend as principals, and for a prize in which we shall each claim a substantial share. Every man of us is as closely interested in the well- being and progress of the country as a partner isin the firm to which he belongs. To point out the vast power which this system gives to the collective body called the State would be waste or time ; we bave only to look around us to see the evidences of our growing wight aud coming preponderance in the world’s affairs. These two States—Russia and the United States—stand alone in this respect. Look where you will no where else can you find re- liable symptoms of increasing strength and solid stability. Great Britain is tottering under the hideous burthen of a pampered aristocracy and a bloated church ; all the wisdom of her statesmen, all the moderation of her middle classes. cannot avail to prevent an explosion aud a fearful catastrophe some day. France is merely going through a fresh cryealis. When, f ever, ebe is destined to assume a solid status, ander a stable government, the most able philo- sopher can only conjecture. Germany is a vol- cano heaving and casting up, from time to time, vast masses of lava, which sparkle, glitter and glow. only to disappear in smoke. Austria and Spain have reached the last step in the lad- der of degradation; the ene groans beneath a debt that is ruining State and people to- gether—the other is in every way beneath contempt. Of ail the great nations whose history fil's cur libraries and whose dominions cover the map the two we bave mentioned are the only ones wh ch possess withia them the elements of durability. Nor js this the only poiat of resem- blance between them. Both are seeking expan sion on every side, to the terror and eoufasion of the rest of the world. Russia covets Tur od invades the Danubian provinces, We Cuba and Mexico. Doth are eagerly Ing th ments of the Pacific. We end Perry to Japan, and the juadre is clore upon bis beels, Both have an eye to wate ne de Russian s reaped from a chang C R an bas already an en- cy at Nankin, and if our admiuistration d id at this moment bed patch tlary to Taeping. pli iw an vis country wil have been realized, Turkey will have pass g NOE STEN NN A IE EERIE Mexico will be ours. A single glance at the condition of those whose interest it is to prevent these events will show how utterly powerless they are to effect anything. Great Britain dare not interpose to save Turkey, and poor Spain w'! certainly not struggle hard to preserve ‘uba But these expansions cannot Jong continue without a collicion between the two conquerors. We may acquire Cuba and Mexico, and Russia muy seize Turkey without sensibly. interfering witb each other; but the next step will bring us face to face. Russia would not resign the control of the Pacific without a struggle. and we could not stand by complacently while Eu- rope was being parcelled out into Russian pro- vinces, Our own interests as well as the dic- tates of humanity and the inherent hatred of despotism which nature has implanted in every American breast would preclude the adoption of so pusillanimous @ course. This, then, is the great event which looms in the next twenty or twenty-five years. Specu- lations on such stupendous themes are too fre- quently falsified by unexpected events and unlooked-for combinations. But so far as we can now read the future. it seems as though Europe was destined to enjoy peace for the next few years. A popular movement will probably afford Russia the opportunity she seeks. Suc- cess will enlarge ber ambition, and Europe. not Turkey. will then be the prize she will covet. Detenceless Europe will fall into her grasp ifwe refrain from intervention. But of this there is little chance. Sooner or later the final battle between rhe rival principles which we represent must be fought. The battle-field bad better be on the plains of France or the coasts of Great Britain than in our own land. Relying op the moral soundness of our cause. we should unflinchingly prepare to meet the bartarfus hordes of the North and rescue Eu- rope trom despotism. Once it was ravaged from Constantinople to Cadiz by these same men, who swiftly obliterated every trace of civili- zation and learning from the soil they overran. But there was no America then. England and France may return thanks to Heaven that there isan America. strong, courageous and free, at the present time, Santa Anne’s Opinion of the United States— His Cumtoy Fail. It is well to know what one’s neighbors think of one. The value set upon their opinions will of couree depend upon their means of forming them and the honesty of their intentions; but even where both these requisites are wanting they are still worth ascertaining as a matter of curiosity. We thus took care to put our read- ers in possession of the views expressed by Senta Anna, on various occasions. with respect to this country and our government. Many will recollect the very friendly sentiments ut- tered by the Dictator on the departure of our late Minister from Mexico. and the warn con- gratulations which passed between the Mexican Ambassador to Washington and our authorities theré. On the former occasion, Santa Anna begged Mr. Conkling to “ Manifest to his gov- ernment the sentiments with which he had been received by the goverument of Mexico, and the wishes which ever animate it (Mexico) to bind more etasely the friendly relations of both coun- tries, and especially the vows which it offers up for the prosperity of his Excellency and that of the American penple.” The Dictator farther took occasion to compliment Mr. Conkling, styling him “one of the most respectable citi- zeus of the freest republic in the world.” There were many in this country, we dare say. who were rejoiced to hear ot Mexico “ ofiering up vows” tor our prosperity, and her ruler recog- nizing this as the freest republic in the world. Not a few, possibly. among the number felt as~ tonished and aggrieved at the contrast hotween the am‘eable tone of the Dicta+er and the severe Janpuage in whictt nis acts have been reviewed hy a portion of the American press. To that portion the New York Heratp be- longed. Ever since the return of Santa Anna we have commented upon the illegal and ty- rapvical measures by which he has grasped the sceptre in terms of becoming censure; we never suffered the honeyed language of diplo- macy to blind us tothe truth. Whea his Ambas- sador strung flowery compliments together, and served them up to the Cabinet at Washington, we took cecasion to point out the inconsisteucy between his language and his master’s acts; and have constantly striven to prevent the American people from being deluded into the belief that Santa Anna’s old hatred of this country and our institutions was in any mea sure mitigated or cured. He has himself, through his organ, spared us the trouble of placing the true interpretation on his flattery to Mr. Conkling. We need not here reproduce the article from the Universal which we published last week. No one can have read that performance without being struck with the violent feeling of animo- sity to the United States which pervades every rentence. Mr. Cushing and his Newark speech are but a peg on which Santa Anna has hung bitter denunciations of the “modern Rome.” thirsting for ‘ usurpa- tions.” « entering upon acareer of rapine,” &c.. &c. Itis not here our purpose to touch upon the personal attack upon Mr. Cushing. That the official organ of the Mexican government should gravely attribute the speech of a lead- ing member of our Cabinet to the influence of wine is certainly a deplorable symptom of the state of manners and refinement at the Mexi- can court; and that the same writer should al- lude to this and other equally disreputable statements as “jocose ideas” affords a fair cri- terion of the measure of good taste and good sense possessed by Mexican publicists. But these are trifles. The main drift and aim of the article was to nurture the Mexican people in a hatred of everything American. Mr. Cushing's philosophical speculations on the future of the United States and Mexico are construed into-a desire for usurpations; and the readers of the Universal are delicately admonished that the laxity of moral principle which this desire im plies is the natural consequence of our systems of education and government. This country is represented as distracted by lawless factions. ‘The chief offices of State are said to be gained only by the most debasing agenc and it i+ asserted that to retain the popular favor our ~tateemen must unhesitatingly sacrifice th proval of their own conscience and the civ world. That Santa Anna should find it advisable and to resort geu ree to such ods o swaying public opision is by no means extra To a his all are good; nor should we feel wainary. man in rise or annoyance if, simu eously ch the Dic jen, the Un ¢ Lowery and touching ator bax just cnade to Mr. Gad al tuiminated @ fresh volley of scurrilo | abuse of the United States. attempt to etem the torrent though a straw be It is policy to the only implement at band. and quit» natural to redouble one’s zeal and energy as the inevi- table hour of ruin approaches. Santa Anna’s career is drawing to a close. Never popular in the Northern States, Zicate- cas, Chihuahua and Cohabuila, are now ouly retained by the presence of a large body of troops from breaking out in open rebellion against him. At the first spark of insurrection a body of insurgents would rise in these provin- ces against which he would need even more than his courage and skill to make head. The south was his stronghold; but here he is only able to retain his present footing by the usual recources of usurpers—dungeons and murders. Assassinations, we are told, are becoming quite frequent. Men are arrested, carried off, and put out of the way. with as little ceremony as used to be the practice under the old Com- mittee of Public Safety at Paris. Public re- sentment at tyrannical exactions is thus re- strained; and could the people at large be persuaded that political liberty is incompatible with the well-being and morality of the citizens, and that the experiment of the United States is a failure, Santa Anna’s despotism would be patiently endured for a little while longer. It is, however, a difficult lesson even for a Mexican to learn, Georgia Politicse—@csition of Gov Cobb, Past apd Present—Lively Campaign, The stump speakers in Georgia, on both sides, are laboring with extraordinary activity among the people. Their zeal and energy can only be compared with the energy and zeal of the min- isters at a Methodist camp meeting. The entire commorwealth of Georgia, including the swamps ofthe seaboard the pine barrens, the uplands and the mountains. is under the high pressure excitement. of poiitics scarcely attain- able in more northerly latitudes without the steam power of a Presidential election. The two parties in the field are the Union party, whose candidate for Governor is Charles J. Jenkins, and the “reunited democracy,” whore candidate is Herschel V. Johnson. The former was a leader of the Union party of 1851, which, compounded of whigs and democrats, carried Howell Cobb into the Governor’s chair by a sweeping majority of some eighteen thou- sand ; the latter in that campaign was a cham- pion of the secession party. which was formed mostly of democrats. there being but a few whigs thrown in, here and there, to fill up the chinks. In requital for the election of Cobb, (dem.,) as Governor. the compound Union party Legislature of 1851 elected Hon. Robert Toombs, , (Union whig,) to the U. S. Senate for the fall term of six years. But in 1852 there was a reorganization of political parties in Georgia. The secessionists having been put down, and the compromise measures having been everywhere established, the Union coali- tion of Georgia fell to pieces, for its work for the time was done. Then came the question, what was to become of the democrats of the coalition. foremost among whom was Gen. Cobb? Where were they to go? The secessionists, claiming to be the rea] democracy, repudiated them. So they got up a separate list of Union democratic delegates to Baltimore; but there the secessionists—being declared the legitimate representatives of the democratic party of Georgia—the Unionists, were compelled to surrender. which they did at once. Gov. Cobb, bowever. was not so flexible. He occupied a very questionable position dur- ing the Presidential campaign, but came over to his late enemies with a good stiff letter of a SIPCCTe papitelatinn aftan the promulgation of Gen. Pierce’s inaugural. He was not. there- fore, even an eleventh hour convert, for he came in at about a quarter past one o’clock the next morning. The result is that this reorganization has placed Governor Cobh in direct antagonism to his political allies of 1851, and in cordisl co- operation witb his enemies of that campaign. He is now required to stump it against Jenkins -—tbe builder of the platform upon which Mr. Cobb became Governor Cobb; and he is re- quired to advocate before the people for his successor ove of the birterest aud ablest oppo- nents, two years ago ot his own election. Aad Governor Cobb is required to do this, notwith- standimfg the fact that Mr. Jenkins occupies the very same platform which both he aod Mr. Jen- kins occupied in 1851—the very same. Cui tono! Let us see. The Georgia democracy are reunited, based upon the admitted ascendency of the secession- iste, They have a secessionist as their guber- natorial c udidate ; but, mark you, they stand upon the Bultimore platform—they swear by the inaugural—and, as they have good sub- stantial reasons to be. are decidedly well pleased with the administration, all excep ing Governor Cobb, whose position contiaues to be a perplexing individual exception of cousider- able hardrbip and anxiety. Buthe is in the ring, back again among the democracy, and, whatever the issue of the impending election, he will at length buve made good a claim upon the authorities at Washington, The Mar etta (Ga.) Advocate. in describing a democratic mase meeting at Kingston, (a settle- ment in th: same neighborhood we presume.) says that— There was on the speakers’ platform an array of talent equal to any we have ever sees upon any simi Jar occasion. The speskiug could not well haze seen surpmesed, covering as it did tae whole groaud, ex- bi Atipg Ube positions of the two candidates and the two parties, and their respective claims avon the people of Georvia. Toe speakers were Joba W. A. Underwo.d, Gen. Hugh A Heralson, Hon, Herachel V Johnson, Gy. Cobo, Gov M'Dovald, Hou. 4 24a- ‘om H. ¢ pell, and Hon. M. J. Wellborn, Phe oc- casioval showers of rain which tell during the speak ing did not ioterrupt the continued atteutiva of the as-embly. It would be out of the question for us w sitempt to give even an outlive of the arguments of the reversal epeakers. Here it will be seen that poverty and politics make strange bedfellows. This Gov. M’Donald, ifwe mistake not was the secession opponent of Gov. Cobb for the governorship of Georgia of 1851. We do not often find such diverse mate- rials mingling together upon the stump with such enthusicsm that “the occasional showers of rain which fell during the speaking did not interrupt the continued attention of the assem- bly.” Such appears to be the temper of the canvass throughout the State. But the enthasiasm is not confined to Gov. Cobb and bis secessionist allics. The Union party are quite as lively, if not a little more so. and bave the advantage of tgbting upon the offensive, from the unbroken consistency of their position now with their po- sition of full two years ago, Certain rumors, aleo, ay pear ave renched Washington that Jenkins possibly prove to be more than a mateh for Johnson, and we shall not ty in the least deyres surprised if Johasoa is swamped by Jenkins, Party reorganuizativas way be ordered; but where they couiliet with he consistency of principles a good many ————F Whe Law oucts.

We are afraid, too, that the split recently de- creed by the redivided democracy at Syracuse will operate to the prejudice of the reorganized democracy of Georgia. In its turn, the Geor- gia election of October will bave a powerful influence upon ours of November. Should Mr. Johnson be elected in Georgia, that result will react to the advantage of the soft shells in New York. and vice versa, In a word, the last chance to the administration for the practical enforcement of democratic harmony hinges upon the Georgia election.

More Drrtomatic Papers ANENT THE IsLAND or Cvna—From a collection of official docu- ments recent)y published by order of the British parliament. we select for publication in our columns to-day several interesting papers in reference to recent diplomacy as to the island of Cuba. They principally consist of corres- pondence between the British Minister at Wash- ington and his government, and a perusal of the whole will manifest the high degree of in- terest which the Cuban question has excited among European powers Though we cannot qualify those letters as eminently important, they are, vevertheless, interesting, and par- ticularly so because they complete the chapter of diplomatic correspondence on this head which we have published from time to time during the last year or two. This brings down the question to the late letter from Secretary Marcy in reply to that of Lord John Russell. wherein his Lordship criticises Mr. Everett's celebrated answer to the Ministers of France and England on the proposed tripartite treaty.

The softs. from old Tammany. will probably order a similar demonstration. when we may expect the “hue and cry” on both sides to be taken up in the rural districts. Nothing however, can be done by either faction till the whigs shall have indicated their inten- tions at Syracuse, in pursuance of their State Convention, called for the 5th October. In the meantime. a stiff document is expected from Secretary Marcy on the Koszta case, which. it is hoped, (among the soft shells,) will work so magnificently among our adopted citizens as to kill off the hard shell ticket before the election. Hard shells, hurry up the cakes, and look out for Koszta. Time is precious. Total......-...0. 6 0 ‘Whites 6; biacks end colored 12-total 18.
