THE REVOLUTION IN GERMANY.

The German Democracy seem to have
started wrong in trying TO Germanize every body.
OF course the aristocracy would conquer Hostein
and Schleswig from Denmark and Lombardy from
Italy, and maintain their authority in the Sclavonic
regions. The Democrats wished TO leave the TIA
ans the sclavonans and the scandnavans take Of
themselves but they do have insisted upon this
policy with sucen, unity and vigor for With ma
ona sel6shnes which entirely inconsistent with their
demand for Gemanic freedom and union, they connved
all these aggressons aiding the arstocay slaughter the
Danes in Scheswg the Poles in Posen the Sclavonc Bohe
mans in Prague, and the Italians in Lombardy. Vigorous
and pernacious opposition TO these movements would have
prevented ihem and thus have converted all these races
struggling for their liberty into allies Of the German de-
mocracy instead Of impscsble enemies Of every thing Ger
The arstocracy sagacious enough profit by this
folly They employed the Germans subdue the Poles and
Bohemans afterwards the Bohemans, Croats, and other
sclavonians to ubdue the Germans in Vienna and
employing them 10 subdue the Hungarisns. And while the
asocacy are thus employing Of It's enemies against
other the democrats and anarchists Of Berlin looking on,
not quietly but in disorder omentng that vndctveness Of
the reaconsry party, which may eventually fall upon them
selves and upon Prague, Naples, Messns and Vienna, in

The German people yesrn or our repubicansm and
highly every thing American, and therefore very
uray listen these mschefmakers who totally misrepre
sent every American institution, principle, sentiment, and
practice As an andote to this, wish that Americans,
abroad and home, and especially abroad would strive TO
and Just American influence the progressive
party Of Germany and Italy, far they do without
interference with The German press free, at least in
Frankfort Berlin and other Cities and newspapers abound
The hes, service which heightened Americans abroad could
now render would be the diffusion Of American ideas of lib
ey through the press. They might preach moderation max
ing haste slowly dealing with difficulty at once; patience
under the progress Of reformation submission to the law till
can be improved abstinence from all violence all tyranny
others the accomplishment Of every thing by suffrage
nothing by force. This is American liberty and the Amer
can mode Of conducting and maintaining it. But uniJrtu
naey for the Europeans they do not know this They

in day and American anarchists, whom they sadly mistake
for American philosophers and statesmen, tell them that,
reach the condition Of the United States, they destro,
end every thing We call upon all real Amer
in Europe to oppose these deusons and show the on
right way TO INSTRUMENTATION, reason, and progressr
