detailed under the -legraphc head and we fear
that the worst isyet TO come
Democracy In Europ--EormatI0n OF u Ger
mnn Lea2rc.
On Tuesday eve ing l,st the Germans of this
city, to the numbers of several thousands held a
mass meeting for the purpose ofrecriving the report
of committee appointed at previous meeting to
take measures TO form an association for the for
nation OF a fund for the support OF German re-
public The utmost enthusiasm prevailed during
she proceedings, and The patriotic remarks which
fell from the lips Of the several eloquent speakers
who addressed the meeting, were enthusiastically
responded to. From the happy commencement
that this association has m ,de and from the large
fund that was collected on the first public meeting
since its formation, augur the happiest results,
and have no doubt that the ellarts of the Germans
in this country will tend materially to aid and
comfort their brethren at home, in freeing their
native land from despotism and establishing a re.
public on It's ruins.
This is the first movement towards sympathiz-
ing with. and aiding and assisting, the struggling
masses Of Europe in their Efforts to relieve them
selves from despotism and tyranny, that has been
made in the United States; and we hope that now
that the ice is broken, the good work will be pro-
secuted until the whole United States shall be a
vast league, with more branches in every
city and town, all in connection with the parent
head in New York. This association is, as we
said, the commencement Of the work only; and as
1t progresses, and as the sympatnies Of our people
Of all parties, of ali clmes and of all religious sects
are evoked, hope that the whole Of the people of
Europe who are aspiring TO possess what we enjoy
will be included within its folds. In striking for
freedom and republcanism, the people of Italy, of
Rome, of Germany, and those of every other coun-
try have made themselves our brethren. No dis
tinction should be made between any of them.
Too long the world has been divided by geographi-
cal distinctions and boundaries. The globe on
which we live is the inheritance Of the great family
OF man-the land being set apart by the Great Ar
Chtect OF the universe, to produce fruits for our
support and the ocean, SO appropriately termed
the "highway of nations" as a means of commu-
nicaion between distant countries. IL the world
in which we live were all earth-that is, if there
were oceans and no scas--there would not have
been, for centuries and Centuries any means of
communicating with foreign nations. The natives
of the most distant would be entirely unknown to
ns, and we would be entirely unknown to them
We should be intimately acquainted with only
such al were within immediate neghborhood
This was foreseen by Providence, who, in His
wisdom, provided against the evils and inconve-
niences which the absence of water would occa-
son. Bu apart from all other conside ratons il is
emphatically the duty Of the American people to
recognise no geographical distinctions between
those people in Europe who are following in the
track which we have marked out for them, and
aiming TO achieve what we enjoy, and what ou-
fatbers fought and bled and died for. The people
OF the United States are responsible for all the re-
youtionary movements that have taken place in
Europe for the last half century or more, COM
mencipg with the GIst great drama ia France,
which, though attended with scenes ha; no PHI
lanthropist would desire REPETITION of, and which
oil men must condema was, notwithstanding,
productive of great good to the whole of Europe.
All the subsequent uphravings Of the polite 1, ele-
ments Of Europe can, in like manner be attributed
To eur revolutionary struggle. Can the people of
The United States, therefore, look with unconcern
on wha, is now Transporting IN Europe when, il
they view the matter lis right light they are
moraly responsible for them! If they cannot,
neither can they, with any show of Justice, make
my distinction between one nation and another
between the Hungarlans and the Romans. or be.
tween the Hungsi ans and the Italians. or between
,he Italians and any other people who are striving
for liberty.
Eut, as we said before, the German association
Is only the commencement of the work in the
United States. A league that will embrace the
struggling people of all European pations must be
formed, with branches rcaitered throughout the
whole United States. New York should be its
headquarters; and although our relations with
European powers, and the laws Of nations, do
mot allow the people Of this country to t out ships
al war; or send arses, TO assst the republic ms of
Iuropc in their struggle with despots there is no
law which can prevent them from sending the
'sInews Of war; to them IN such am,unts as we
desire, and to assist ;hem in such other way as
will not conflict with the neutrality policy dster-
mined upon by the executive and his cabinet.
