NORTH GERMANY.

At the beginning of next month the provinces
recently annexed to Prussia, viz., Hanover, Nas-
sau, Electoral Hesse, and Schleswig Holstein,
which have hitherto been subjected to an excep-
tional regime, will commence participation in the
constitutional life of the other provinces of the
kingdom, and before the end of the month they will
elect eighty deputies to the Berlin Chamber.
The King of Prussia has been visiting the Grand
Duke of Hesse at Darmstadt, and has since left
for Baden. In a few days he will proceed to
Maim', at Lake Constance, where he will have an
interview with the King of Bavaria. Next month
he will visit the Principalities of Hohenzollern,
where he will meet with the King of Wurtemburg,
thus visiting in succession the sovereigns of the
Southern German states.

The address presented on Wednesday to the
Reichstag at Berlin by the party of national
liberals congratulates the King on the success of
his national policy.
...

The union of northern Germany increases our obliga-
tions towards the entire nation. The work will not be
completed until its members, still separated, shall be
united to us by one single constitution. The re-establish-
ment of the Zollverein draws us nearer to the end, so
ardently desired. Confiding in the patriotism of the
Germans who are beyond the Main. in the irresistible
force of the sentiments of national solidarity, and in the
good understanding upon the relations of moral and
material interests, we look forward securely to the future.
We do not fear that other nations, already enjoying
unity, wish to deny to us our right to national
union. The experience of the past has taught
them to respect the same right for all, and to seek for the
real welfare of a nation in the prosperity of others. The
German nation desires only to regulate freely and inde-
pendently its own concerns, and it is determined to carry
out this indisputable right under all circumstances.
Economy, the equitable readjustment of burdens, the
common law, and economical and industrial freedom, must
be the basis of the edifice raised under the sum; ttenden..e
of the house of Hohenzollern.
