It is impartial. to conceive a more natural, more

the sum race end the same regions to gem?
together, to put in tommon their 'sympathise, their
Fienes4oiretteith, and their goverameat, and
not for the purpose cif and geed
owship, for the avoidance of waro e develop-
ment of industry, and the furtheranee of every anal
tidmand social einem, to all of which a small and
eatery political state is decidedly inimical.
n the infancy of nations, races were united. The
prianple which came to split and separate them, and
leash them the barbarous habit of war between
people of the same race, was feudalism, with that
absurd and degrading law which considered land
end man as the be editary property of a dynasty of
princes. This Claims principle, the making mutual
strangers and enemies of men nurtured in the same
habits and taught to lisp the same tongue,
wee successfully combated and removed by
sovereigns. Those of England, of France, of
Spain, gradually destroyed the dissolvent powers of
a pnecely aristocracy, and thus laid the foundation
for the greatness, happiness, and development of
their respective nations. The German sovereigns alone
were unable to fulfil this, their greatest duty; and the
soil of central Europe was divided amongst princes
who warred against each other, and agreed merely in
robbing Germans of freedom, peace, commerce, pro-
gear, and indeed of every national blessing.
In this selfish and rival state, the monarchs of
Germany wen not only the tyrants, the stupid op-
pressors, of their race, but proved utterly unable to
defend their own thrones. Prussia and Austria bit
the duet before the puissance of NAPOLEON—and
why P bemuse they were not Germany, and had but
mercenary and household troops instead of a national
army to support them. The French defeated
and enslaved the Prussians and the Austrians!,
and, moderate prudence ght have continued
long to do so. But an act of folly having rendered the
French Emperor vulnerable, the subdued kings seized
the opportunity to call no longer upon Prussians and
Auetrieria, but upon Germane, to vadicatetheir freedom.
The Germans rose as cne man, and fought as such;
and all the cobweb arts of military skill and ma-
neater, were swept away at once by the
great national impulse of the German arm.
In the hour of victory and gratitude the German so.
vereigns promised their people that they should form
a free alai united Germany: They broke these promisee
hethwith,returning to their dynastic, selfish, pwaion4
and tyrannie ways. And we can emree blues
them, for they knew no better, acd could not have
worked out German unity had they been sincere.
But the German mind has been matured
sines then. It has outgrown the swaddling-
clothes of mere princedom. And whilst the populace
et the Premien and Austrian capitals defeated their
sovereigns and their guards, the German people
assembled by their representatives at Freakfort. At
first it was but the form of election. But so national,
so much in the demand and necessity of the times,
was the Vor-Parliament, as the Edinburgh Review,
observes, that the Frankfort Assembly may be con-
sidered lees the result of revolution than the spon-
taneous production of the social and political womb
of Germany.
From first to last the conduct of this Assembly, and
of that which succeeded it—indeed they form but one
in character and act—has been most admirable.
Never did conservative mints display more anxiety
to preserve order, to respect existing institutions,
to consult the rights or claims of princes. Their first
step was to place an Austrian Arch-Duke at the
bead of their administration, thus giving a great
guarantee to reigning houses. Instead of pitting
Prussia against Austria, or protestant against catholic,
the continued aim of the Assembly has been to recon-
cile conflicting interests, overcome by mild determina-
tion inveterate prejudice, and bring all classes and all
regions into the sacred cirrie of a fatherland.
What they demanded of Austria was, however, im-
possible on the part of the Austrian dynasty. A close
and complete union between Austria and Germany
were unfair to both. Were Austria admitted to the
confederation with all her Slavonian and foreign
population, the German element would be swamped;
whilst, were Austria to unite merely in the name of
one or two provinces, her dynasty would be impli-
cated in policies and tendencies opposed to her late-
ranted spirit. What has happened must necessarily
have happened—the mutual divorce of filenames
mid Germans. And the necessary consequence was
the elevation of another family to be the imperial
hence of a new and a regenerated empire.
There are people who look upon all that has been
done and voted at Frankfort as revolution, as Wooer
tion, as extravagant, aiimpracticable. On the contrary,
lee look upon what has been dune at Frankfort as
from the first inevitable, as the rigid result of daunt-
stace,sasomethingthatcouldbynomeansbethwarted,
prevented, or turned aside. We see a sequence of acts
of whioh each link is strong as fatalism, drawing
the next link after it. We see a nation ex •
its will, and executing its purpose, with mild an
slow but unswerving determination. Th. old Croat,
and catholic, and leaden em;.ire of the superannuated
Austrian dies off from Germany, and a dynasty iden-
tified already with religious liberty, intel-
lectual development, commercial and polices' union,
tags its plaoe. We an in no fear from
