PoLEoN, for decisive contest between
those hostile principles and pretensions.
They cannot exist together longer. AS
the same gigantic mind also predicted,
Russia stands against all Europe as the
representative Of Absolutism. Europe is
to be Republican or Cossuck. and the
Czar proclaims his rcadiness, his deter
minalion to begin the struggle. Hun
GARY finds herself at the most advanced
post of the powers at. which the Czar
aims his blows. He singles her out for
his first attack. She finds herself forced
into contest with the great representa-
tive of Absolutism in Europe. in war
made professedly for the destruction of
everything like free principles and Re-
publican liberty. How can she do other
wise than allay herself with the opposing
pary-with that great body of European
powers which, in the Cars opinion, stand
as the champions and representatives of
Revolution, ,....,t ..r ,.-.-r
1t is under the pressure of this neces-
sity that Hungary, deviating from her o.
riginal purpose, has espOused Republi-
can principles. and declared her inten-
tion of adopting principles in conformity
with the democratic tendencies of the
age. That she has most difficult posi-.
tion to maintain, against the force array.

probably her main chance Of success de-
pends upon the contingency that the Yves,

in the quarrel, A general war would
beyond doubt, be general calamity: but

noble, magnanimous position Of the Hun

Plain Talk.

y .
Mrs. Swisshelm. of the Pittsburgh Sat.
urday Visitor, goes for bnrsewhipping
drunkards to reform them, and in an
swer To those who charge her with
want of womanly sympathy quotes the
passage, --"Whom The Lord loveth he
chasteneth; and scourgeth every son whom
he receiyeth.' Of the tipping shops
and their victims she speaks after this
fashion:
"If we were man--if we were a vo-
ter-we wonld vote down the doggeries
AS we are a woman, if we had husband,
father or brother, who was likely to be.
come victim to The serpent Of the still,
we would take their disease in time--in
the first stages-and warn the dram sell
lers within reach, not to encroach on our
hearth; and if they persisted we would
ba'N dorm their groceries with as clear
conscience as we would make fire to
burn June bugs and save our plums.
This will be called iDcendiary doc
trines; but desperate diseases want des.
perate remedies: and when our own hap
piuess, and the life, and soul, and honor
of one dear to us. are at stake. it would
not be well for the man who stood be-
tween us and his salvation. if we had con-
cluded that salvation possible. We would
never advise any other to such remedy;
for the remedy would be imprisonment
for life; but we would consider this a pos
tive blessing compared to loathing The
besotled face of one we had loved. To
us, no object on earth is so loathsome, so
hateful. so abominable, as drunkard.
We could not live near one, for we should
die of a sick stomach. 1t may be very
angelic for pure minded, virtuous wo-
man to love and caress great drunken
beast, but for our share, we have not the
slightest professions to being an angel,
and the coil of an Anaconda would be
quite as pleasant a corsage, as the en-
twining of drunkards's arm. FrUm the
smell they have on the street one would
imagine the angel that staid near them
long would require to be pretty strongly
scented with birthstone. Evil commu-
nications corrupt good manners, and peo-
pie are forbidden to be unequally yokcdl
We can think Of no yoke so unequal as
that which would bind decent woman
to drunkard; and we most Gsmly be.
lieve that so far from its being n duty for
wife to live with a drunken husband
it is violation of the laws of God, and
the dictates of common sense and com.
mon decency. A woman who will per
sist in so living should be shut up in &
Ilunatic asylum. Grant it. that she has
right to dispose of herself as she pleas
es Has she any right to entail misery
and degradation upon a helpless off:
spring. Has she any right to furnish the
State with paupers and criminalsl Ha.
the drunkard any right to hand down his
vices and their consequences TO posteri
