LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUS7 17, 1867.

The affairs of Germany generally engage parti-
cular attention at this time of the year, and although
we b ave now no disturbances to chronicle, it cannot be
said that all is settled in the state of the country, or
that the multifarious arrangements are by any means
completed which are supposed to effect unity, and
make one kingdom or empire out of a score of small
principalities. Not that it follows that this will be
lasting when it is done, for there does not seem to
exist much agreement among the divers interests
and various claims. In pursuance with the wish of
some of the members of the Bavarian Chamber, a
meeting of South German Deputies was held the
other day at Stuttgardt, at which resolutions were
passed more or less significant, but the general
tenour of them seems to inculcate a spirited

feeling. It is stated that it is imperatively neces
sary that the South German States should be re
united with Northern Germany. The fifth resolu
tion is an important one, -which states that the
people must demand their full share of the benefits
of the constitution of the North German Confedera-
tion. It seems, indeed, as if the chief object of
these assertions were to vindicate the rights of the
people, and to point out how and in what manner
general freedom might be obtained. German
citizens, it is said, ought to settle trade and
on matters, and it is evident that the
of South Germany to regulate these in
common with the North is " fully justifiable, and
cannot be refused." The only way, it is declared,
to attain a complete union of the South German
States with North Germany will be to enter the
North German Conftderation, "in spite of the de-
fects and faults of its Constitution, and of the de-
plorable mistakes of the Prussian Govern-
ment." This is plain speaking, at any rate,
and cannot be interpreted in any way that is
favourable and flattering to the Berlin Govern-
ment. The final resolution affirms that the
German people, so soon as they possess the
necessary organs of their will and power, would
take care of their own interests, and " satisfy their
desire for free development, and fulfil their mission
for the civilisation of mankind."
However it may suit the views of some to declare
that all is proceeding exactly as Count BISMARCK
may desire, it looks very much as if those represen-
tatives intended to assert the rights of the commu-
nity, and to make the influence of the people felt, if
possible, in contradistinction to that of the oppres-
sive weight of Prussian dictation. When all is
arranged according to the best of Count BIS-
MARCK'S plans, he may find the task be has
imposed upon himself an impracticable one after
all, and the end may be that an amount of peace
and a degree of liberty little expected or desired
by that statesman may be obtained by the German
States. It is well known that the extraordinary
successes of last year would never have been gained
by Prussia had not there been a strong desire on
the part of many German States to become joined
with Prussia rather than remain as they were.
German princes were fast becoming nonen-
tities ; but we expect that, long before
this, those most anxious for a change have
discovered that they have substituted King Stork
for King Log. At any rate no one at all competent
to judge can dispute the fact that a general dislike
to Prussia is the prevailing sentiment among all the
lesser states and principalities, and such a result is
indeed a deplorable one. If a war bad broken out
this summer between Prussia and France, where
would King WILLIAM have formed willing allies?
Not among those whom he had cajoled, and
then deceived, outwitted, and then trampled
upon. When the inevitable crash comes,
and hostilities, long delayed, at last ensue,
between these two rival Powers the world may
learn a lesson of the value of truth and honesty by
witnessing the evils wrought to Prussia from the
want of those principles of action.
The French Emperor will soon meet the Emperor
of Austria, and who can tell what may be the result
of their conferences. Prussia is now moving heaven
and earth to gain over all interests to herself from
France, but she may not find it so easy to do so as
she imagines. The prestige of the French Govern-
ment far excels that of the authorities at Berlin,
and we would not give much for the
chances of the one against the other. It is curious
enough to notice that when any one begins to sum
up the various events of the last few years, he is
met at every turn by the traces of Prussian cruelty,
and the records of her treachery are innumerable.
Thus Denmark has not been forgotten, nor, indeed,
is it likely that her wrongs will be suffered to pass
into oblivion, for her sacrifice has had many bitter
consequences. The war of last year was mainly
attributable to the effects of the Dane-German
war, and the more momentous struggle that
in all probability is yet impending may be traced
to the same cause. Prolific of misery, and most
fruitful in evil consequences, has indeed been the
whole course of Prussian policy of late years ; and
the worst of it is that the effects will fall not only
upon the people of Prussia, who are in a great
measure innocent of the intention to do harm, but
on many others also. Germany unity is a grand-
sounding timing, but who shall define its exact
meaning ? One thing it does not mean, and that is
attachment to Prussia and reliance on her pro-

It would seem from the news brought by the
Persia, from New York, that the Democratic party
is rapidly gaining ground, having carried the elec-
tions in Kentucky by a majority of 60,000, electing
the Governor, most of the members of the Legisla-
lature, and the member to Congress, Mr. GALTO-
DAT. I❑ other parts of the country the Radical
commanders are resolved to make the most of their
power while they have it. General SICKLES has
ordered the postponement of the North Carolina
Legislature until further notice, and directed
the suspension of trial by jury until the jury
lists are revised. So that the favoured State of
Carolina will be without any sort of popular repre-
sentation, and without trial by jury, two of the
fundamental guarantees of public liberty. The same
thing is going on all through the South. General
POPE has ordered all civil suits against officers for
acts done in pursuance of military orders to be
abandoned ; General SIIERIDAN has removed the
city treasurer of New Orleans and appointed his
successor. It is manifest that great abuses of
power are likely to accrue under such a sys-
tem. It is nothing letter than wholesale des-
potism, from which the sufferers have no appeal
or resource. They have no representatives in the
National Assembly, they have in the case of the
North Carolinians no State Legislature, and in the
other States their local authorities are displaced or
suspended according to every caprice of the military
comtnauders, so that they have no one to apply
to
_for redress against their oppassors, The
