The Mag ma brings us detailed &C.
counts of the assemblnge OF Paris Of
Representatives from every part of
Christendom, whose object is to per
suade all the nations Of the earth that
reference of all the difficulties TO arbi.
tration is better than an appeal TO force.
Prominent among the orators who
have been addressing the meeting,
few days before the steamer left, was
Victor Hugo, the well known au,hor.--
We quote few extracts:
"a day shall come " hen sou will no
longer make wars--a day shall come
when you will no longer arm men one
agains, the other. You will still have
many disputes to settle, interests to con.
,cnl for, difficulties to resolve; but do
you know whom you will select instead
Of cavalry and infantry, of cannon, of
falcones, lances, pixies, swordsl You
will select, instead of all this destructive
array, small box Of wood, which you
will term ballot box, and from which
will issue-whal?--An Asscmbly--an
assembly in which you shall all live
an assembly which shall be, as il were,
the soul Of ALA supreme and popular
council, which shall decide, Judge, re.
solve cverylhing-which shall make the
sword fall from every hand, and excite
the love Of justice in every heart-w hich
shall IL say to each, Here terminates
your right, there commences your duty.
Lay down your arms Great applause)
And in that day you will all have one
common thought, common interests,
common destiny; you will embrace each
other, and recognize each other as
children Of the same blood, and of the
same race; that day you shall no longer
be hostile tribes, you will no longer be
merely Burgundy, Normany, Brittany.
Province-you will be France! Bravo
you will no longer make appeals to war
YOU will do SO 10 civilization.
"A day will come when from your
hands also the arms they have grasped
shall fall! A day will come when war
shall appear as impossible, and will be
as impossible between Paris and Lon.
don, between st. Pciersburgh and Der.
lin, between Vienna and Turin, as it is
now between R)ucn and Armiens, be-
tween Boston and Philadelphia. ZAP
plausc.) A day will come when you
Francc-you, Russia-you, llaly-you.
England--you, Germany-all Of you,
nations of the continent, shall, without
losing your distinctive qualities aud glo,
rious individuality, be blended into a
superior unity, and shall constitute an
European fraternity, just as Normandy,
Brittany, Burgundy, Lorraine, Alsace
have been blended into France. A day
will come when the only battle field
shall be the market open to the com
mcrce and the mind open to new ideas.
A day will come when bullets and shells
shall be replaced by votes, by universal
suffi age of nations, by the venerable
arbitration Of sovereign Senate,
which shall be to Europe what the
Parliament is 10 England, and what
the Diet is to Germany, what the As,
sembly is to France. A day will come
when cannon shall be exhibited in
public museums just as an instrument of
torture is now, daughter and applausc)
and people shall be aslonished how such
athng could have been. A day will
come when those two immense groups,
the Urited States of America and the
United States of Europe, shall be seen
placed in presence of each other, ex,
tending the hand of fellowship across
the ocean, exchanging their produce,
their commerce, their industry, tn cir
arts, their genius, clearing the earth +,
peopeing the deserts, melioraling ere.
alton under the eyes of the creator, and
uniting for The good Of all, these two ir-
resislable and infinite powers--the fra
terni,y of men and the powers Of God.
Nor is il necessary that 400 years shall
pass away for that day to come. We
live 10 rapid period, in a. most impel-
uous current of events and ideas which
have ever borne away humanity; and al
the period in which we live a year suf.
fees TO do the work Of a century. But
