EVE N of greater importance than the Turkish or the Belgian intelligence , js the latest assurance from the United States , that the success of Franklin Pierce is ascertained . Before another number of our paper is out he will have been elected President ; snd the intelligence of that event will probably arrive not , inuch more than a week later . Ohio , Pennsylvania , Indiana , and Maryland , have elected democratic state officers by enormous majorities ; Gener « 4 ' ^ Olt ' ^^ aiiij ^ lj ing and promise-making tour in tlie west notWiMf *' standing . - ' ' / ' ' It is an appendix to this important fact , ' tbat the conduct of the Spanish Government has had
its anticipated result . The seizure of passengers and mails in the barque Cornelia , and still more the peremptory refusal to admit the mail steamer Crescent City , under command of a Captain in the United States Navy , had raised a flame of indi gnation iu New York ; numbers who before ahstaiued from the movement against Cuba , now united with the national indignation against Spain ; and tin ; general resolution was , tliat Cuba should be seized . The " Turkish question" that has suddenly burst upon astonished Europe is the iirst illustration of the new declaration , " \ j ' Empire , e ' est la
puix : The Biink of Constantinople , a kind ol sub-treasur y department , for getting instead of keeping money , contracts a loan under sanction <> f the Sultan ; the sanction is withdrawn ; the bank '" 'eliucs that it cannot borrow the money ; the Coders of Paris and London are as angry as a lady fair who has accepted advances only to meet 11 N'truetaUon ; the French ambassador who bad "" vised the loan threatens to withdraw , and France IMS the opportunity of feeling insulted if she Pleases . As Protector of the Holy Places the Kinpcror elect can defend the ill-used bank ; and »« win shake Turkey until—she falls into the Protw-linir anns of Russia . t

election of a President to the Chambers implies that the nation will not at once acquiesce in any such demand , nor is King Leopold ' s acquiescence to be presumed . In France herself commerce marches as it is expected to do under the shadow of " order ;" great public works keep the working classes employed , and material prosperity is perfect—for the day . The " little bill , " indeed , is accumulating ; but of course Louis Napoleon expects that some imperial windfall will turn up before the creditor shall W ^ && $ (*• Bat ? b 8 Brv ^ 8 jffi ^ gS ^ Warte * re ^ fervattcm in . tov i 4 ^ eanot ^ p ^ cMPJ | Bp fjjji | # ^ aSe cbnteiif £ o . fe ^ what th ^ have , )^ * ffi ^ TO < untaJn a . cipw ^ ei ^ posseseion . "War "is s $ il ffefe talk . \ '¦ The ' - ' refltijCtipn of the army , which wl delight our Peace-mongers in a , few weeks , i $ a show of peace , a preparative for war . It is to be a reduction of the ineffective forces—a weeding of the army , leaving it in more efficient working condition . England is still the popular object of attack . Louis Napoleon imitates bis uncle with emendations . The Boulogne expedition served as a feint to cloak the attack on Russia ; the modern converse will be to make an expedition against Russia , Thibet , or some other remote spot , the feint for sin attack on England . In general Englishmen stick to " practical " politics very assiduously . At Lough borough , Lord Granby announces to an attentive country that be has no notion what bis brother the Commissioner of Woods and Forests or any other of the Ministers means to do ; at Leominster , Lord IJateuian , — well known from George Cruikshank's epicannounces his absolute confidence in Lord Derby , although in not taking bis stand upon Protection , Lord Derby bad proved wiser than be was ; and at Saffron " WaUlcn , Mr . William Heresford , who denounced the vile nibble ; at Ihaintree , denounces tbeeinigration which conveys " the bone and sinew of the country" to a distance where the farmer cannot use it . Crushed bones for manure , unground bones to utilize the manure- —these are the farmers rights , and Mr . Ueresford objects to their being withdrawn . Hut Mr . Packe is the sturdiest of the Protectionist party , lie does not see why , because potatoes fail in Ireland , Protection should be declared dead , or Protectionists should cry suave ([ id pad . And be is right . The readiness of the Protectionists to run away in defeat is not conviction , but simply cowardice . Defeat does not refute a doctrine : und if the
Protectionists were men of the old English stamp , they would uphold their doctrine in the teeth of defeat , at least for the remainder of a generation . Perhaps they hope to betray Free-trade into an ambush , by running away and living to fight another day ; but an ambush in a panic never does its work . Mr . Beresfordj however , is the enfant terrible of the home government , and there has been a talk of removing him . The Globe announced his translation to Jamaica , as Governor ; and as Jamaica is " only ft cplcmy , " the ^ ta * WjftThot » fead- pn ^ -rfor him-•^ l £ >^ n 4 ' |^ B l * yfc ¦ ¦ . ¦^ 'Irritftted ajb JjjjEre jMMjSftwal of ' Prafeiist ^ f Jrifc ^ theWthitw" ^ connexion With ; iBngliand , tfripbf diP 4 ' . % i ^ texatiou with the United 96 £ pt >' afirP ; $£ ' y &Mfy ' tjjjk 'a tnember of the renegad | ifytp- - tecticmist ^ bvei&itteirt ; a * eftief officet ' - ^ g&l naturally conciliate the Jamaicans . A man of Mr . Beresford ' s discretion would be able to conduct the future negotiations with so much tact' . And when Cuba had been annexed , he could conduct the negotiations for Jamaica from shore to shore ! Certainly he was the man to choose ; so much so , that the choice transcends what we miglit have expected even from Lord Derby ' s Government . Therefore we might have disbelieved the report , if it had not been contradicted by tlie Mommy Herald . Among the original suggestions of the week , one of the most striking comes from Mr . John Bright , who possesses at least one of the qualities of statesmanship rarest in our day—a courageous disposition to treat affairs in a broad and vigorous manner . lie proposes a plan for settling the Church question in Ireland : it is to appropriate the property of the Established Church for a proportionable division amongst the several chief denominations in Ireland—the Episcopalian , Roman Catholic , and Presbyterian . U . iniiy be objected against Mr . Bright's plan , that it does not profit by the experience of the past , . since it endeavours to fix a machinery for that which is fluctuating if not progressive—religious opinion . He proposes to dismantle one establishment , and out ; of the materials to construct three establishments . His plan advances in the direction of a correspondent of our own , and without any very great stretching of his terms , it could be made to include the advantages of that proposition , by vesting Church property in each local body , and leaving the selection of the local minister to the

" The one Idea which History exhibits as evermore developing itaelf into greater distinctness is th (* Idea of Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-sided views ; and by setting aside the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our spiritual nature .
