The 4 ossack


The most prominent event In the hs.f months
history OF Europe which we this morning spread
before the reader. Of The 7rlbaRe IS the entry Ct
the Russians into Trsnsylysnia. OF course the
Cabinet OF 81 Petersburg as well as that OF Vi
enna, make the mos. positive denisls OF any Pur-
pose hostile 70 the peace of Europe and the main
tensnce Of the Treaties OF Ve.na in al their sa
cresness The Gar, we hear, lends has soldiers
20 put down the Magyars and their allies, because
A conspiracy will else break out in bis own domin
ions. and the banner Of revolt appear along the
shores Of the Dniester, and in the rich valleys Of
Podolia: and the Austrian General, hara.ed by
the Hungarians and in danger OF utter destruction
calls for the aid in waiting across the frontier
The Austrian Government disown the act, but
the necessity for il IS not indicative OF the strength
which they have hitherto boasted OF possessing
Il IS plain that the Msgyars and their confederate
tribes. animated by the presence and courage oil
the Poles-those Knight-errants OF European
democracy-are making resistance which pro-
foundly embauasses their enemies and when
promises that the hills and dehles OF Eastern
Hungary shall never be subdued by the myrmi-
dJns Of the dynasty a. Olmuz different sort
of foes are those Tartsrs and Slayons Of the East
70 the Italians that Rsdetsky grinds under his
extortions at Milan. Hungary was willing to be
the ally of Austria; she will never consent 10 be
her slave.
But whether the Austrian General called IN the
Russians because he was ordered to do so or be-
cause he could not help it, the result is the same
Russia is another step nearer ConstantnoPle, and
Absoutsm having flung down the gauntlet to
Liberty invokes the battle confident that the
Democrats impulses in Europe are exhausted,
and that no sufficient champion will dare to enter
the field in their behalf. With what wonderful
patience and astuteness the Northern Bear has
watched for lis prey, and with what certainty he
prepares to seize it No impetuositytas endan-
gered bis success no negligence has risked
the failure of single step. Even when the hour
draws near that has been waited for above

The Revolution shook all civilized Europe, but
Russia vas in no haste to profit by the CONFUSION,
for there the People were up like the Hood that
in a single hour sweeps away the solid seeming
ice that Just boUod the Nevs, and 1t was wiser to
wait till the excitement was spent till Kings and
aristocraces playing anew the original game Of
fraud were once more safe In their seats, and the
movement had come To exercise only spasm0ic
lite with doubtful hopes and desperate resolution
on the part of its supporters.
The crisis has come at last. The Revolution has
no Soothold except in Italy and Hungary. Russo,
