The Message Of The President OF the United States with
us accompanying reports Of the Secretaries may be view
Cd IN Two different apccS-n relation domestic politics
and in relation TO the bearing which these state papers
probably will have upon European political movements

ranon OF Them might prove very interesting
All Europe is at this moment in OF great excite

up Tor battle are different ia the different countries vet rs
Sny a' uefo may be. they can be claSscd according
their leading characteristics under the two great heads
mose who stand for the principle OF and efficient re-
presentation OF the people, and those who fight for pryi-
eges, or, which amounts the samc-those who consider
mat the people are the primitive aud sole basis of bodies
pohuc and those who consider the people either as no
meht OF inc government at all but merely the ground
upon which the privileged thor fabric of
or as an element only equal other competing parts of 90
vernments; in short those who consider the people The
msTo ptebS contrbUenS, the Hungarian peasant, arr,
called by the Magyar nobility. The contest then t,rns
upon the question, what arc the people what do they
want what belongs 10 them The excitement is or,otr

ann PROOF ana tcs OF liberal Institutions. The influence
which the United States have exercised upon EursDa FIR
considerable time by exhibiting the tranquil example of
prosperous orderly powerful republic founded upon
one simple principle The pS0 has rapidly increased over
since the French revolution OF 1885, influence which
indeed. often Il acknowledged, but which il much more
powerful than acknowledged The eye of Europe is
turned upon the United States. In monentous period
