 Erfrocf from the Rev. Mr. Hiekok's Address Wnr--The opinion that we may n"; im } hibe the spirit of peace, and act It out i0, Ou Eves untA the whole wOrld shall at once agre : iR c0ncssEt, is . most disastrous delnsiOn. ParAiyOes all eferf-yea, it rebokes ever gEerriOn in this cause as dangerous. and b . arTesfing every movement for dellreraDcs ygUlild leave the geil of Sackcloth upon tn nations forever. This opinion may have tak

Tine line between them can h drawn SD palpably that the world shall seI sthat we rTnHy ,txHrt the one With0nt incurriD,

The world oeyer yet felt sueh an influence, nor has its Maker giye0 ns reason fO expect that 1t ever wiIl.

 InJ4ence ofpublic sentiment on War.-Pnh. lie sentiment is thus rapidly gathering up and fOmbi0iOg It's strength. and among other man Of its power, 1t holds kings in cheek, and restraints their migbtisst arasiss within well deGEed limits. Russia seeds forth the legons of her hardy sold,sry, cutting their passage through lhe BalcaD, and spreading theMselse es upon ths plains OfTurkey beyoad- and flushed with vlct"vy, moving on almost ID slght of the ,ren0wHed capital of the eastern world, yet while th,s golden prize is just with in her reach. the public voice of Europe stops her career, aud bri0gs her lrgions back from the warm gales and snft suns Of the south. to their own country of frost and stOrins. Fur key accedes to the Russian ul.imatun, and thus cancels the terms on which alone the in- vasion of her territory had been permitted by neutral powers, and the public sentiment of Europe would not allow one Of the mightiest Ofhcr naonarchs to advance another step with 1 hostile purpose,

 France. too, sends forth her choicest troops, and pours their combined force upon one point-,hs citadel Of Antwerp falls before them; but there the work of blood and slaughter must cease. Like "the titular dig nitaries of the cheas hOard." her generals can move only in their prescribed direction. The public feeling of Europe had marked out the ] narrow hounderies of their procedure. nor dare victorious armias step beyond them. In what age of the world has 1t been known be. (ore. that kings and coDquering armies turned back from ths goal of their ambition, because the public voice dsMaDded itl 1t new era in the history Of war, a0d lets Us know the se- cret ofthat power which can control 1t.
