The unprovoked aggression of the Em•

has beelt:peisisied in with such disregard
in tMnseqences that, alter the rejection by
the Emperor of Russia of terms which
the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of
thisTrenCh, and the King of Prussia, as

equitable, her Majesty is compelled, by a
sense of what is due to the honor

In both respects her Majesty's just ex
pectations were disappointed.
Demands were made which, in the o.
pinion of the Sultan, extended to the sub
stitution of the Emperor of Russia's an.
thority for his own over a lar4e portion
of his subjects; and those demands 'were
enforced by a threat ; and when her Ma
jesty learned that, on-announcing the ter.
rettritiottof '.illenschi
kolf declared that the refusal of his do
mods would impose upon the Imperial
Government the necessity of seeking a
guaranty by its own power, her. Majesty
thought proper that her fleet should leaie
Malta, aud,•in co-operation with that of
his Majesty the Emperor of the Frenolt,
take up its. station in the neighborhood of,
the Dardsnellei.
So long as the negotiation bore an ami,
cable character, her Majesty
,retrained
froin any dernonstratiOn of force. But
when; in aililinun to the assemblage of
large.military forces on the frontier of Tor
hey, the Ambassador of Russia intimated
that 'serious eunsequettees would ensue
from the refusal of the Sultan to comply
with unwarrantable demsnils, her Majesty
deemed it right, in conjunction with the
Empsror of the French, to give en un
questionable proof of her determination
to atipportille sovereign rights of the Sul
tan.
Cale Rnsiian °moment has main.
twined that the determination of the Em
peror ,to occupy the Principalities was ta.
ken in consequence of the advance of the
fleets of England and France. But the
menace of invasion of the Turkish terri,
tbry was conveyed in . Count Nesselrot's
note to Reschid Paella. of the 19th (gist)
May. and re-stated in hit despatch to Ba.
run Brimow, of the 2001 May, (Ist June)
which announced the determination of the
Emperor of Russia to order his troops to
occupy the •Principaliiies, if the Porte
did not within a week comply with the
demands of Russia.
The tlespatelt to her Majesty's Ambas
sador at Constantinople authorizing him,
in certain specified contingencies, to send
for . the British fleet..was dated the 31st of
May, and the order sent direct: from Eng
land to her Majesty's Admiral to proceed
to the neighborhood 'of the Dardanelles'
was•dated the 2d of June.
The determination to occupy the Prin.
cipalities was, therefore, taken before time
orders for the advanctk of the combined
squadron were given.
The Sultan's Minister was informed
that unless he signed within a week, and
without the change of a word, the note.
propited to the Porte by, Prince Menschi-
WI; on the eve of hie departure from
Constantinople, the Principalities of Pilo!.
(Nein and Wallachia would be occupied
by Ruisien troops. The Sultan :could'
not accede to so iesulting a demand t • but
when the actual occupation of the Prtnek
'whiles took place, the Sultan did not, as
he might have done in the exercise of his
undoubted right, declare war. but addressed
a protest tolths allie s .
Her Majesty, in conjunetion with .the
sovereigns of Austria, France and Prussia,
has made various attempts to meet any
just demands of the Emperor of Russia
without greeting the dignity and inde
pendence of the Sultan ; and had it been
the sole object of Russia to obtain security
for the enjoyMent by the Christian sub
jects tit the POrte of their privileges,and
immunities the would have found it in the
offers thai have been make by the Sultan.
Rut as security. was not offered in the
shape of a special and separate stipulation
With Russia it was rejected. 'Twice has
this offer been made by the Sultan and
recommended by the Four Powers,, once
bye note , originally prepared at Vienna,
and subsequently modified by the Porte;
mice by the proposals of tinsel of negothi
lions, agre4l upon at ConstantinN'ile on
the 31st of December, and approved at
Vienna nn the 13th of January. as offer-
ing to the two parties the means of ar
riving at an understanding in a becoming
and hOnorable manner.
It is thus manifest that a right for Rus
sia tointerfeiti in the ordinary relations of
Turkish subjects to their sovereign. and
not to the happiness of Christian commu
nities in Turkey, was the ohject sought
for by the Russian Government. To
such a demand the Sultan would not sub
mit, and his Highness, in self delence, de
claritlwar upon Russia ; but her majesty,
nevertheless, in conjunction with her al
lies, has riot ceased her endeavors to re
store peace between the contending par-
ties.
The time his, however. now arrived
when the advire and remonstrances of the
Four. Powers having proved wholly inef
lectual. and the military preparations of
Russia becoming daily more extended, it
is but ,too obVious that the. Emperor of
Russia has entered upon _a courie of
policy which, if unchecked, must lead
to the destruction of the Ottoman Ern-
In tl,ia conjuncture her majesty feels
called upon by regard for 'anally.' the in.
tegrity and independence of whose empire
have been recognized as_ essential to the
peace o! Europe, by the sympathies of
her people will, right against wrong, by a
desire to avert from her dominions most
injurious consequences, and to save Eu
rope from the preponderanc'e of a Power
which has violated the faith of treaties,
and defies the opinion of the civilized
world, to take' up arms, in conjunction
with the Emperor olthe French, for the
defence of the Sultan.
Her Majesty is persuaded that in an
acting she' will have the cordial support of
her people ; and that the pretext of zeal
for the Christian religion will be treed in
vain to cover an aggressitm tindtrtalten in
disreganl of its holy - precepts and of its
pure and beneficent spirit. •
. Her Mojesty humbly trusts that her ef.:
forts may be successful, and that, by the
blessing of Providence, peace may be
re.esiablished on safe and solid :founds.

It is not her Majesty's intention to claim

In an explanation made in the loose of

in reference to the above declaration. that
Great Britain crinot and does not forego
the right to search neutral vessels for tali

announcement similar to that of England
respecting the commer..e of neutrals, and

TESTIMONY FROM THE OPPOSI

papera.---especially the Harrisburg Union,
are willing to recognize "any good thing"
in Whig candidates ; and therefore we
quote the following, as a just acknowledg
ment of the substantial worth of our State

"It is but butt to award credit to our
Whig friends for having selected their best
men at this time. Col. Pollock is a pe
p/

c life: • •
Mr. Darsie has had great experience in
our public councils. He is a fluent and
ready i debater, aba of unblemished charac

one of the most efficient canal commission

and Mr. Kennedy. Their intention or vis

quence of there being no immediate steam
communication with Havana, and they in.
tended to proceed by the land route to Sa

even as fur as Nashville.

val." Judge SAITBER responds in the
following handsome letter:
Nonninrowm, Pa., March 22, 1854.
Gentlemen :—Yours of the 15th inst.,
informing me of my nomination as a can
didate for the office of Judge of the Su
premo Court, came to hand to-day.
My grateful acknowledgements are due
to the Convention for thu honor thus con
ferred, as well as to you, gentlemen, for
the kind terms in which you have been
pleased to apprise me of it.
It is well known to you and every mem
ber of. the Convention, that .it was wholly
unsought, and unsolicited. As a sponta
neous mark of confidence and respect, on
the nart of eo respectable, intelligent and
influential a body, it is, therefore, doubly
gratifyihg, and I shall always regard it
with pride, bo the result what it may.
I accept the nomination thus tendered
to me, in the IMMe spirit in which it- was
offered. My own position in regard to
judicial stations is known already to you
and the; public ; and is the same now that
it was when, without my own seeking, I
was nominated, and through the generous
confidence of those to whom I was person
ally a stranger, elected to fill the station I
now occupy. It is, that - While . judicial
honors may bo aspired to , as the fit rewards
of well , directed ambition, the4should not
be sought after or obtained through those
means whit% are generally considered le
gitimate in the pursuit of political prefer
ment. A Judge should not'only keep the
judicial ermine unsullied, but should take
care that his robes are not soiled by. tra
versing uncleanand miry paths on his way
.to the bench.
This being my principle of action, to•
the correctness of which lam suroyou will
subscribe, neither you nor the public will
expect any course of notion on my part
that would be in deroghtion of it ; and I
feel equally assured that .my able and dis
tinguished- ecimpe.timm, as etuinctit for .the
virtues of his private elm:actor•ns for his
legal ability, will hold it sacred and invio
lable.
Accept, gentlemen, in conclusion, the
assurement of the high personal regard
and respect, with which I am your Friend
and obedient Servant,
D. M. SMYSEE.

derneath an oil painting of. Henry Clay,
tastefully draped with the national flag.
Suspended on either side of the Slloon
were two banners, one of bine velvet, bear
ing the following sentiment of the Ken
tucky orator, in gold
"I have wished the good opinion of the
world, but I defy the Most malignant of
my enemies to shoir that I have attempt
ed to gain it by any low or grovelling acts
by any mean or unworthy sacrifice, by the
violation 6f any of the obligations of hon
or, or by a breach of any of the duties
which I owe to my country."
The other was the banner of the Tenth
Ward Democratic Clay Club, haring a re
presentation of Liberty throwing the na

words : "Justice to Harry, the Star of the
Welt," Among the guests was the Hou.
Daniel S. Dickinson, who delivered an dm ,

FREE SPEECH IN VIRCHNIA.—A
few days ago the editor of the Wheeling
(Va.) Gazette, announcing the Nebraska
swindle, concluded his article u follows :
..It will be MI; tram the fOregoing that
we are opposed to any more slave territory.
We are opposed to - Nertliern SUilei inter
fering with Slavery in the States where it
is • but we believe it 'to be their duty to
stand up , manfully and firmly against the
extension of it, while we consider those
who yield the question. for , , the sake of
Southern faveri are corrupt politicians and
unworthy - Of public confidence."
This article excited the wrath of the pro
slaverychivalry, the Gazette was denoun
ced by the other papers in the city, and a
public meeting called to teach the editor
of the Gazette better manners. The call
was responded to by a dense crowd, and a
series of denunciatory resolutions were re
ported and sustained by several speakers.
Mr. Wharton, the editor of the Gazette,
had leave to 'defendhimself, which he did
in an able aud, fearlmmanner, reiterating
and justifying his views to the full extent..
The meeting cheered him at every sentence,
and when he closed,- the-original-resolu
tions were withdrawn, and another passed,
endorsing his views and applauding his in
dependence.

BARN CONSIIMED.,--The ham on
the farm of Devil) Moment:4N, of J., Esq.,
three miles from Emmitaburg, was de
etroyed by fire on Thursday night a week.
Among the property consumed in tho,bern
wore four valuable horses, nine:head of
cattle, wagems, and a large among of farm
ing utensils, lielonging'to Laoo Wilhide,-
the tenant in possession.
Mr. Poliocli hintiicated.
licrAe soon as the nomination of Judge
Pollock was announced, the Locofoco or
gans with their usual audacity and disre
gard of truth charged all manner of , sins
against him, among the rest voting in Con
gress against supplies for the army in
Mexico, and casting other vote's against
the soldiers. Knowing the character of
Mr. Pollock, we treated such reports as
they deserve with silence and never .con
sidered it worth our while to examine r the
record to sea if the statements, had any
show of truth. In the Union county Star '
of Wednesday last, we find the following
clear and incontestiblci evidences of the!
utter falsity, of these charges proferod grat
nitous'ly by' some locofoco papors. The
Editor has gent to the trouble of of oi
amining the record and, with his permis
sion' we publish', the article entire for the
benefit of these men of easy constionces.
Pollock needs no vindication at our
hands ; lie is above tho shrifts of slander
Which ieckless locorodo Editors may direct
against him ; his abilities, patriotism and
virtues are well known , to the' people and
will strike terror to - tho present dynasty at
the October election. Kis course in Con.
gross proset,ts a'record any tuaniwould be
proud of, and all attempts to blacken it
will add to his credit. But road the fol.
lowing and be convinced :
"A FALSEUOOD.NAILEV.--rn looking
over the columns of the Dentorretie Union,
we saw an article counnenting on the titer
its of Judge Pollock, our candidate . for
Governor, in which tho editor of 7 the
Union charges Mr. Pollock with havi ng
voted against the bill to increase the pay
of soldiers, then in service in the Mexican
war. Believing tho statement to be false;
'we determined to examined the records,
and see how far the Union was correct.—
Through the politeness of Hon. Joseph
Casey, wo were furnished with a copy of
the Congressional Globe and appendix, con
taining the proceedings of the 2d Session,,
of-Ebe 29th COngresclbld — illiiiiii - 184.6
and '47. On page 272 and 273, of the
Globe; we find the proceedings of the
House, on the bill to grant Bounty -band
to the‘nrrns, iq which Mr . PolJoek took an
active part, and offered timadditionol Sec
tions to the bill, grunting bounty lands to
the officers and soldiers who 'served in the
war against the Indians. .0a ,motion of
Mr. Phelps, anew bill wad substituted, in
place .of the one .reported by the selewt
committee, the first section of which, is as
follows : -
"1441 enacted; 4-c., That, from and of
ter the first day of May last, and untilnthe
termination, of the war with , Mexico, the
monthly, pay of the,non-commissioned offi
cers, musicians, and privates, of the army
of the United tates, and militia'and vol
unteers in the service of the same, shall be
increased three dollars per month each.
This bilk-was agreed to, by a vote of 171
yeas to 18 nays. Mr. • Pollock voting
with the yeas. Will the Union be honest
enough to correct
On page 130, of the appendix, we find
Mr. Pollock's speech on Bounty Lands
and the Mexican war, from which wo make
the folloWing extracts:
"The
"The bill now under consideration pro
poses au increase of three diillars per Month
to the pay of regulars and volunteers.—
The pay at present received is seven dol
lars per month. This is but a swell. Coin
ponsetion for men who leave home and
comfort behind, and go to endure the toil
and privation of a camp—expose' their
health and fires in a foreign clime, and
encounter the pestilential vapors-and nox-
ious ex halatiotis . eithe swamps and marsh
es of Mexico: a land wlisre pestilence
walketh iu darkness, and 'destruction wast
eth at noonday." • '['he proposed increase,
under - 'these circumstances, will not be
ileenuil extravagance ; at lititne . but few
would be willing to give a month's labor
for that pitiful-sum. I will, therefore,
vote to increase their pay, and give to the
toil-worn soldier, deprived,of the ordinary
tomfor:s'ef life, something that may relieve
his wants, and cheer him in biS onward
course oftluty and of danger."
And again, in concluding his .speech ho
, "I hope, sir, the provisions of the bill now
under consideration, and the ainendments
litiVe proposed may receive the favora
ble action of the House ; and thus some
proof becgiven that republica are not al
ways ungrateful. We owe it GlVtiiiiielves,
and to the private soldiers who fight the
battles of our country 'Fame, the highest
aspiration of the aolclier, tells not the Itto
Ty of his daring. it gathers its rich clus
ters around, and encirelowthe brow of the
victorious General. Not so the private
soldier. 'She has reserved no niche in
her proud temple for him. His name is
found upon the muster roll, and perhaps
in the list of the wounded and the dead.
Ho is thrown carelessly into the grave ;
the earth covers him; and not oven a plain
marble, sculptured with his name, marks
the resting place of the gallant dead.—
Pass this bill, and lot the teetord 'Of our
proceedings be, at once the record of a na
tion's gratitude, and the soldier's fame."
The speech, from-which the above ex
tracts are taken, is the most eloquent
and logical one we have ever read.--
Itiasuch speech as would do honor to
the head and heart of the greatest States
men. We may at, some future time pub
lish it in full. In the meantime if our
locofoco friends have any more false state
ments to make, in regard to Mr. Pollock's
course while_ ii Congress, they can put
them out, as we are prepared : for them.
The attempt to injure Mr. Pollock, by
criticising his acts while in Congress will
be of no avail. His whole course was pa
triotic, manly, A nd honorable. We want
no better proof of the honor, integrity and
patriotism of our candidate, than his acts
while in Congress. Hs was always found,
as the records will prove, defentipg the
interests of his country, and her honest in
dustrious • yeomanry.'
