We go for a German republic because for G rmapy
tfs republic is vital question, which alone pre-
serve it frem ruin If Germanyis to exist longer and

the earth she must he united and strong wiGhin
without, her political nd economical position req uring
it abse utely Even tho princes cannot but &C
ledge this They, too, talk Of union. They want union
themselves against the people againft freedom
and against free speech. They want to persoa'o us
once more that the French our natural enemies
they want to help them to destroy the French
ubic, then to ttsruaize our own slavery with the aid
cf the Emperor of Russia and The sristocracy of
land. These princes thought Of another MON
net content to break the Germap Empire ier
they also tore Poland into peces thereby pulling

people need union against despotism wtha their FROM
tiers es welt as without and such union they never

father TO he vassals of the Russian Emperor than to
be servants of their people and citizens OF free Ger
many. The moudered German empire can save u no
more, people and princes iecDg it D!n ythe
former because they do not want to nourisb, beside
their thirty princes of old sixth one

| The republic is a vital question for Germany ard
not for Germany alone but for all nations of Western
Europe. The time is coming now, when lie must be
decided whether Europe shall become republican or
| Cossacf. Already the Asiatc hordes stand our
frontiers waiting with lustful esgerness for the
ment when their Mighty autocrat let's them loose, to
satify their passions with the productions of our
Ia;ure and civilization. Our princes expect them
smiling keep the frontiers upguardsd against their
invasion, and bow and cringe before the great
lords Of England tender their hands to the Gar
for opposing dam to the democracy overh swing in
Germany, in which they danger to their exist
ence, because they know that Germany is the heart
Of Europe and that the fate of Germany decisive for
all pation ms Of Europe. The question Is now. whether
European civilization shall perish. making room for
rude despotism or whether it shall enter into new
the face Of the earth. If Germany does not becoms
! free now, the savages, rushing in. would make all
Europe one desolate wilderness leaving to mankind
hopes but on the oher side Of the On the

Then the French will hand in hand with war,
to overthrow the whole old empire of injustice the

the al-beloved all amented Ireland will be longer

Citizens Of America the feelings of the republicans

their counry-ther hearts beat for a continent, and
for ali mankind like yours. We address you frankly
and in full confidence, because we know that you
great enough to understand u.s. You the first
Of new mankind no more separated by national pre-
JUDGES In your country, the sons of the different
nations Of Europe first associated under the banner Of
liberty, as citizens Of a world. You will not think
us visonaries, because trust that the banner of
liberty waving on the palaces Of kings in Europe, too
the nations will associate peaceaby and find
reason to hate to bear i'll will to each other You

aud win surely assist when the question is to
generation Of the old world by the principles of the
new We know very well that you cannot help
the first principle of your foreign politics. but the aid
we want single individuals can afford us, without
dapgerng tie hole We declare it freely and openly
We want money that nerpus without which the
best cause cannot succeed Though, therefore, heart
money mopgers call beggars not ashamed
to beg for the deiyerance of the world and know
very well that the great mass Of your people do not
didain us for that. Our enemies have inexhaustible

The German republic must come, and will come.
Our task is but to level the path and sh orten it, As

Of right Il propagating the principles Of pure de-
mccacy by the way Of free press free speech and
to introduce them into practice by the way of peace

we will be far from usirg any other means to achieve

and thicker; already the soldiers, influenced by the
spirit Of liberty are beginning to desert to the repub
