ciety, ii necessarily dominates over Individuals
GLIDING soveregns the Frankfort Assembly at
once disparaged the press, and convinced men of Its
own blindness to the future when it placed the King
of Prussia at the head OF Germany, and framed a
spic and span new constitution as the best means of
promoting German unity.
As that is conceived at Frankfort, il is danger
Gus dream though the conception be vehemently
applauded by some English writers, and declared to
be am inevitable necessity. German unity, to be
obtained, preserved and strengthened by increasing
the influence of the press, anu of German literature
by procuring free industry free communication and
one tariff for all Germany, gradually bringing the
existing governments, by the progress of opinion,
to act according to rule or under law, is
something worthy to be aimed at, as securing great
national advantages and preserving peace. All pru-
dent and rational statesmen be sensible that, to
obtain this end, concessions must be made on both
sides. The Frankfort theorists must give up their
constitution and their dreams the sovereigns must
guarantee personal security and security 10 proper
ty they must set the land free md az give per-
feet freedom the press, and must al,osh resric-
tons on locomouon They mus substantially con-
cede most of the things the people demand and are
inclined to seize. Such course OF proceeding may
both promote the unity of Germany and the preser-
Walton of its soveregns. The quarres now engen-
dered by the hasty ambition of the dreamers at
Frankfort, and by the adherence of the soveregns,
to their old maxims of government, are ruinous to
the fatherand and disgrace to all It's philosophers
statesmen, and politicians. 1t is a scandal TO them
all that their unity should be nothing but civil war
and anarchy.

TO THE MANY WINGS,

And friends of the present Administr\
who have exhibited an earnest inter3
our behalf, we cannot omit to present
sincere thanks for their unsolicited !
tons. They have enabled us to start
point which is usually reached bypl
journals, after long career of dific
and doubt. The only question witt
now, is not as to our success, but as t
measure of it. This we now feel wi
limited only by our usefulness. 1t wi
our own fault if we fail TO merit the
erous confidence which has been exter
to us, though we may hardly hope to
alize the too partial expectations of
friends.
With deep sense of the responsib
of the editorial vocation, and determi
ever to maintain the independence "
out which no press can secure or desc
the public respect, we shall certainly
in many points to please ourselves,
how then can we hope on all point
satisfy our readers, But our best e
tons never shall be wanting-nor shall
ever fail in fidelity to what we deem
true interests of the American people.
