    ^ m Turkish language and for Turkish readers , —r-it must not be supposed from this that the Turks are great adepts in lying and cheating . It must not be supposed because the Chinese make eyes for their junks that they see their way over the \ vaters ; because they made a counterfeit steamer , with funnel and paddles , but without engine or boiler , and then wondered it wouldn't work , that therefore they are strangers to the mendaceous arts of European statecraft . On the contrary , when , during the late war , the portfolios of their diplomatic agents were captured , a degree of sublimated and intensified lying wa 3 revealed , compared with which the deceptions of a TallbViiakp . or a Mexternrcrt himself were but venial fibs . \ Vhen , therefore , we speak of uncivilised races , it must not be supposed that the amiable objects of our discourse are the simple-minded and interesting innocents which credulous ignorance is so apt to suppose them . Ignorance and barbarism always hate civilisation for its very superiority , just as the gorilla wages implacable deadly . war against his superior , man . What civilised man has to do is , to do the best hecan with these semi-barbarous races for promoting the general good of the : world . . "¦ ¦ ¦ .. ¦" ,. ¦ .. ; . . . ' ¦ . . ¦ . . . . . ¦ . "¦ ¦ . . . The state of affairs ; not only in Asia but in Africa , and in parts of that great continent of islands at the Antipodes , shows that the struggle between European civilisation and native barbarism is going * on ? n these quarters more or less actively . There is no doubt of this : It would appear that ? ome of the potentates of Africa are following up the Spanish war by negotiations with European Powers ^ whiGh will gradually ' open up" whatever resources there are in that uncivilised quarter of the globe . But it is inevitable that wherever these , two principles , European civilisation and barbarism , cpme into contact , they lnust come into antagonism ; $ nd it is equally certain that the former must overcome andIfc . ven effacethe / latter ^ ;\ ye do noti hdwe y ^ ri allow that , according tpi the stupid interpretation too often put upon the w ^ ; destruction of the yin&tvidual savages then > s ^ yes . ^; A ^ tribe- ; of ¦ savages in ay be extirpated -in the jsense of being reclaimed hy / : ani& . e ' ven- ^ gVad ^ civilised . j-ace . ^ We ' ktibw t h ^ r ^ of ; which- manifests itself in syiupat % with sayageryas sutch *; ;' , It would - . protect a ' : num'eiFiqE |!

    conclusions thpught out in his closet by that " solitary Scotchman " Ai > AAi Smith , whose teachings the historian of '" Civilization in England " justly considers have been of such transcendent , value to the hunian race . But there is another reform of which Mr . Cobden may be considered as the apostle in theory as vyeil as the author in fact . We allude to breaking down the fatal system of secret diplomacy . And it is remarkable that in his successful negotiation of the , French treaty , Mr . Gobdeis ; has at once given a fatal blow to secret diplomacy , and carried yet a step farther his great scheme of Free T ' rade . Any one who is at all read in the history of Europe " must be aware of the mischievous effects of the secret system , . Nations are kept in the dark on their most important relations , and dragged into wars absolutely without their knowledge . Or they find ; themselves committed to a policy——as England has found itself before to-day- — -which the people detest antf repudiate , entirely through family ; -influence and dynastic ihtrigues brought to bear Upon the minions of a court . Have not cpiirt influence and dynastic connection been at their baneful work to embroil this country with the France of to-day as it did With the France of 1792 ? Have we not narrowly escaped , being entangled in German intrigues for supporting German despotisms ¦ . 'hateful to the people crushed beneath their rule ? But with efficient 'bas'ines ' s T'like ^ practical men such as Mr . Cobden for negotiators ; instead of pompous place- ; hunting fed ^ tiapist . s ^ lmb ' ued ; v « ith : th-e ' -tra '' diti : otts of . ' a nvedisevalregime , we shouid not incur the : risk of . these dangers . Both by precept and example , as a theorist as well as a clever negotiator , Mr . Cobden has wrought ah immense public good bv this practical . protest against secret diplomacy , cohyeyed in one of the most beneficial SXtensions of Free Trade effected ¦ ¦ ' since the abolition of the Corn Laws ; : And in both nieasures the merit of getting the poiiey of K ment , arid that too without being one of its metnbers > Indeed , " the rielation which Mr .
