revolution against monarchy. It Is an act OF
blasting, damning infamy, which every
frenchman should be made to feel, in one
burst of indignant scorn from the
friends Of human rights throughout the civil
lied world. Ifthe French people do not rise up
against this enormity as they did against tneir
late monarchy, and drive its authors out Of their
country, or visit them with exemplary pun
ishment, they are unworthy of liberty, even
Of nationality, and deserve TO be enslaved
and trodden out of national existence BY the
iron heel of Russian despo,ism. If they tole'
rate this, France and infamy, Frenchman
and villain, will hereafter be SYNONYMOUS
terms among honest men Of all countries
But while the accounts from Europe are
thus gloomy, they still exhibit some shades
of hope. The French republicans had risen
in the city of Rheims, about 10 miles from
Paris, and were ready 10 rise in the latter.
The executive, violating the constitution, and
apparently bent OH crushing republicanism,
had suppressed all the republican newspa.
pers excepting one, and arrested some OF the
leading republicans in the assembly. Ap-
pearances indicate another contest; and ii
such an awful calamity comes, may Heaven
enable the republicans TO drown the last
hopes OF monarchy in the blood of traitors
We would gladly learn that the sword were
still sheathed. But if it must be drawn, lei
it hew down the p!otters against human
rights, even to the last. Better for the fu
tnre is the slaughter of the guilty, than o
the innocen, and if nothing but the BLOOD
of the guilty will save the innocent, let j
flow to the last drop. The accounts from
Southern and Southwestern Germany are en-
couraging. The republicans were in the field
in earnest, preparing for the inevitable con
fict The Hungarians were still victorious
though we have yet received no accounts o
decisive movements But as they have al
most annihilated the power Of Austria, ",
have hope in their power TO stem the barba
rian torrent from Russia. But the mos
cheering news is the victory, though par
tial, of the Romans over the most crimina
the most shameless of their invaders, III
French. The Romans were resolved to 6gh
to the last and we hope that they will hol'
out till relrbution shall visit the present bas
government Of France.
With these accounts before us, we agai
call upon our citizens tor some demonstra
tion in favor of the Romans. And especial
do we call upon the French in the Unite'
States to exhibit, by some public profession
their condemnation of the present perlidiou
and reactionary French executive, in wagin;
an unholy war against the republicanism o
Rome. If the French population of the Uni
ted States, who profess 10 be republicans. ant
who loudly, and we doubt not sincerely, ut
tered public rejoicings for the emancipation
of their country from monarchy, can behol'
this enormous crime against Roman republi
cansm without public expression of disap
probation, they deserve TO be stunned b,
every American with unmitigated scorn.-
But we have better hopes Of them and thei
country. Their duty TO the liberty of thei
Fatherland requires them to raise their voices
loud enough to be heard at home, agains
