II, however, this game of conspiracy against the

that the state Of Europe should he restored to it's

work, should be effaced. The different sovere gns

One would scarcely believe in the execution of
such design; but il may be executed. as | have
already explained IL Is now openly advocated by
the moaarchist press of France, and secretly APP
proved here by them. The AssenbLfc Nafionate
Of Paris is the most reckless of disguise. That is
The same print which commenced the war on uni

Of France and the United States; or Switzerland,

modern history of Switzerland, and of her consti-
tutioD'; and also Of the questions on which she
will be assailed 1t is here that public opinion in
America should take its final and imperative
stand. Here il can be useful, do good, prevent
ircalculable wrong, preserve Switzerland from
being made the slaughter-house of republican
ism in Europe; and the destroyers of its men,
women and children, from staining its green
valleys with rivers OF human blood. hold myself
bound to show not only the immortality, but the il
Legality, Of the projected invasion and would dis
D Itch the proof once il il were not too long for
the end Of letter.
Taking it for granted for the moment that the
outrage will be atte mptsd, l hope that public
opinion in America will not shrink from the most
extreme measures on the part Of Switzerland-a
people Of only three millions, or as large as the
State of New York, in all probability, surrounded
and menaced by million of bay onets, the hands
OF The viles ruffians that directed weapons at
the bearhs, affairs, and hearts ofinnocent men, their
wives ana he pless offspring.
The great reliance Ut Switzerland will be in her
sell, and next in the United States, with whom she
has made treaty OF amty and commerce. But
n soon she is nearly threatened, she should adj
dress her proclamation to the civilized world. She
should state, that she nights not only the fight Of
nationality, but OF humanity; and she should call
for the sympathy and assistance of all who pre-
tend To believe IN truth and justice, threatened by
brute force IN arms. She should state her case,
ana expose the crime OF her enemies towards her,
and towards the principles she defends. She
should make common cause with Piedmont, and
address the people Of Europe 10 make united
effort against their oppressors. She should appeal
20 the President and Senate-io Congress and the
poole at the United States She should ask them
fer volunteers, and for arms and money, aud nv
niuons of war She should grant letters of marque
aud rtprisal 10 citizens OF the United States en-
nS,S against Russia aud Austria, who will pro-
b. hly BE- the ostensible assailants.
As Switzerland contains many men Of fortune,
Glhough her popnlons territory ~ generally poor,
she can command large sums OF ready money at
such an extremity. She should instantly collect
such treasure, and appropriate II, according 10 the
