ne-er, easily disheartened in their inexperience,
land harassed in their material interests by the con-
eentFaed wealth and energies ofthe railing classes,
have lost many Of the advantages of their first po-
siHon. In France and Germany the immediate
tendency is retrograde. Lonis Napoleon, as a re-
publican President, rules with an absolute despot-
ism, as complete and as relentless as the worst
attributed to the dynaslywhich was driven out
without an effort OF a defence. The written Con-
stitution, which was hoped to be the safeguard Of
Individual rights, is openly contemned, and tyFan-
nous Assembly defends the Executive, and protects
itself by inhuman persecution Of the minority,
crushing the liberty Of speech and the press, and
exaeting, by the power Of terror, that silence which
is their substitute for peace The national finances
are in horrible disorder, with no means obvious by
which debts can be paid or the affairs of Govern.
ment carried on Bankruptcy threatens a Govern
menf which entrenches itself in power by acts that
have the most odions character Of tyranny--the
tyranny Of majority Of representatives, who have
no respect for the principles of the Government
they control. There is reaction here against lib
erty and law; reaction which will only gather
the materials for more violent outbreak yet, in
which disappointed hopes and embittered resent
ments may take terrible vengeance on those who
have betrayed the cause Of true Tepubleanism.
The Louis Bonaparte administration may be des-
tined to be another act in the mighty series Of ma
tional sufierings by which the French people are
TO be trained intefhe habits and mbued with the
right principles of free popular government.
Germany seems, after numerous detached and
fruitless struggles, to be relapsing into the old
state, and accepting patchwork forms of govern
ment, dictated by the re,assured monarchs, and
containing only so much of the forms Of freedom
as are dictated by the despotc calculation that they
may be set aside or evaded without difficulty
Rome, we are proud to learn, jusiifes the conf
dence Of Americans in her truth and spirit, by re-
flsng to make concession or abate iot Of her
lofty intrepidity in the cause of republication.
She surrendered because resistance was impossible,
but her gallent people will not countenance the
ISLANDERS Of their enemies, by receiving their inva-
ders as friends sharing with them the response.
bilitY Of disposing Of the government France,
which entered Rome by the sword, asserting that
she came to protect the people, is treated by the
people as a conqueror, who must dispose Of the
captive al will The ealumny that the Roman
Republic was a disorderly inaurreotion maintained
by foreigners against the win of the Roman people,
is thus finally disposed Of, and France is forced TO
abandon its position or to treat Rome as military
conquest. The dsgracesof the false republic is
thus made notorious and indelible 10 its triumph,
and the glory of the true republic becomes immor-
tai in its fall.
, Hungary now absorbs the admiration and con.
oentrates the hopes Of all who believe in the posi-
bity Of European regeneration in this age. Her
warriors and statesmen have astonished the world
with the grandeur Of their views, and her people
have warmed all hearts with the heroism Of their
actions, They are fighting fearful battle, with !
courage, against mighty odds, and the
prayers Of 81 Chnstendom are with them. The |
ortunes Of the great struggle are various but des-
'otism wieds brute mass which may prove too |
much for the highest gallantry in the purest cause
Hungary once crushed, the armed hosts of the
oarbarc master of uneounted millions will be ready
to march whithersoever the interests Of despotism
may direct them, and the final struggle will begin
to try whether Europe is to be Republican or Cos
sack. The end noman doubts; but through whas
terrific scenes and sufierings the nations must
struggle, to reach the final triumph Of right and
reason over ignorance and force, no man can fore
see. They who havesa trust in their kind win
look on and wait with hope and faith.
