¦ ¦ —^ - — ^^ INQUIRY INTO THE WAR WITH RUSSIA . [ From An Inquiry into the War with Russia . By an English Landowner . Hamilton and Adams , Patomostorrow . ] "No peremptory rulo can bo wojl laid down for tho guidance of nations tiny moro thnn for tho conduct of individuals respecting intorforonco with tho concerns of others . It 1 h conceivable that a nation may bo ho suporoininont in power , bo justly confident in ita own judicial qualifications .
so unencumbered by nearer and more press ^ f" * . ^ ' ?™ be warranted in curbing the excesses of foreign despots , allayin " democraticdisorders , . and Protectin ^ weakcomniu nities from the brutal oppression of the strong- Again , in -the case of individuals , interference between ™ e ° PP ™* £ and the oppressed may bean act of manly £ uty . Wtentimes , however , when the brave yet tender heart swells ^ with sympathV and righteous indignation , reason andJW * w » holdback the ready right-awn , and compel us W abide in patience until the ways of Providence ^ jushfed to men . A special charge entrusted to our care may ^ comrnand our undivided attention , and wholly disable us for . undertaking any other duty . Prior claims may press upon tt ^^ f . " * ana forbid our incurring new liabilities ere the > former be discharged . So in the case of a nation laden withgrave responsibilities , having lonfc-standing evils to redress , and many deficiencies to supply , it would be amixture of Tiiockery and presumption to postpone these pressing duties ' . and to stretch forth an officious hand id auy > f distant sufferers , whilst at her very doors and in her inflRJsfc chambers pestilence and want , ignorance and crime , daily contribute their miserable victims to the hospital and the workhouse , the gaol and the graveyard . ,.,.., ' * It may . however , bo maintained that . the present war is undertaken not for the purpose of defending an oppressed community , but simply to prevent an already powerful nation from acquiring an increase of strength dangerous to the whole family of nations on the continent . In short we are at war for the sake of preserving the e balanc of power , " that beautiful discovery of kings and statesmen which has proved so fertile a source of crime , misery , and bloodshed to all the races of Europe . We will , now-ever , take the liberty to doubt whether the people of Great Britain would have cordially entered into this orthodox view of the subject . In fact , the gravest of our statesmen . think it desirable at times to spice their harangues . with a seasoning of indignation against the barbarity of Russian aggression , and raise their eloquence to a tepid heat by a dash of sympathy with the gallantry of the ill-used Turks . But on the other hand , when our statesmen desire , as sometimes happens , to be precise and business-like instead of vague and declamatory , they carefully inform us that this is no war in aid of oppressed nationalities ; we are solemnly assured that we take / the part of Turkey , not because Russia iscruel , vicious , and gluttonous , but because she is likely to prove too powerful for our own safety ; not because honour and humanity call us forward , but because self-interest impels tis from behind . This is the statesman ' s view of the whole matter . We go to war for the sake of that important personage , number one . Away , then , with the sentimental slang about oppressed nationalities—the grandiloquent announcement that we are engaged in resisting and subduing the spirit of Cossack aggression ; away with the vain expectation that now at length the pure air of freedom will flow unchecked and unpolluted through the length and breadth of Europe . It is a mistake , we are fighting not fora principle , but for our own ends ; not for the sake of humanity , but for the sake of self . It is doubtful whether this version of the matter , stfttfeed as it now is of the cloak flung over it by political juggia * v . will satisfy right-thinking and humane men . But it is our intention _ to join issue on this very point , and inquire whether it is conducive to the true interests of England to make war upon Russia in defence of Turkey ?"
