Hungary is the first point of attack. That Ma
} ton is one of the Oldest and bravest among tht
Peoples of modern Europe--long the bulwark o
Christendom against the fiery valor of the Moslen
hordes before Russia or Austria had an existence
when the latter was at best petty principally
and the former the domain of savage tribes less
enlightened and scarcely more formidable than oul
Indians. Defeated and her monarch slain on hel
last great battlefield Hungary called to her throne
the house of Hapsburg, not as conquerors but as
magistrates, sworn to uphold her independence
and administer her laws. She never thought OF
becoming an appendage, much less province. Of
Austria, but ally in the great work of resisting
the tide Of Ottoman aggression, for which either
alone was proved unequal. That end was achieved
From the walls of sorey beleaguered Vienna the
Moslem standards were hurled back in shameful
defeat by the gathered might of Eastern Europe
hurled back never to return. For three centuries
the fortunes of Austria have been profusely nour-
ished by Hungarian blood. At length long obse-
quious Hungary demands of Austria the fulfillment
of the guarantees which induced her to yield her
crown to an Austrian prince. She asks the cor
rection of cerain garng abuses, the restoration of
some portion of the rights which have one by one
been filched away from her people. The Austrian
oligarchy answers with the sword and with the
utter abrogalon and formal denial of rights, to
Hungary as separate nation. Beaten by default
at the bar of History and Humanity, Austria is
doubly discontinued in her ready appeal to arms.
The minions or despotism are at all points chased
from Hungarian soil. All hope of her subjugation
by Austrian force alone is Observation-Disclosures
1t is manifest that Vienna is far more in danger of
capture than Debrecsin.
Here the Autocrat of all the Russias interposes
his colossal strength. In swelling words of bias
phemy, he reviles the Hungarians for daring to
sert their rights and threatens to crush them by
his power. His accusations are lies, and of no
account, but his FIVE hundred thousand trained
veterans--pure lighting machines without an idea
beyond their daily exercise or an aspiration be-
yond nights debauch-men who would shoot
their mothers at the word of command as mechan-
ically as saw cuts timber-these are not to be
lightly spoken Of Above ALL his uncounted mil
lions Of boarded gold are appalling. Give the
Hungarians these, and they will waste away his
armies; but, destitute as they are of money or
credit, we fear they must fall unless asssted-and
their fall drags down the whole German Democra-
cy. Let Hungary succumb, and the last whisper
of resistance to the thirty -odd Royal tyrants and
plunderers will be hushed, and the Fredericks
will promptly proceed to imprison and shoot the
patriots whom in their weakness and terror they
caioled with promises ofliberal constitutions which
they will now repudiate and scoff at.
All eyes turn, therefore, to FRANCE, as the sheet
anchor of the liberties of the world. And nobly
have her gallant people responded to the mute ap-
peal The taunt that she is a Republic without
Republicans falls pointless. In spite of lamenta-
BILE popular ignorance and distraction-in spite of
all the appliances of corrupt and unworthy rulers
her elections show that the popular pulse beats
high with love of Liberty. The returns astound
all parties and electrify all who struggle and hope
for better order of things. Two HUNDRED AND
FORTY Deputies have been returned by the So
cialist Democracy-by the party whose Republi-
canism no man will dispute. They may not be
the ruling but they will be the leading party in the
new Assembly. They may not form Ministry,
but they will seal the doom of that which sent Ou
dinot on his shameful errand to Rome. They
may not command an immediate recognition of
the Right to Labor and Education for all, but their
election sets the seal of doom on all schemes of
violent Reaction, either by the restoration of the
Bourbons or the Constitution of Louis Napoleon
President for life. The effect of this victory of
the Laborers is already powerfully felt in the ac.
ton of the Assembly-it is felt in the inaction of
Oudnot-it will be felt throughout Europe If
Hungary can but stand six months, France will
stand or fall with her. Courage, suffering Ma
tions. the gray dawn is before as !-Trtbune
