THE UNION.

Danube That is not so Immediately necessary TO our
object which is TO show the development the operation
and progress of political and social principles IN Europe
But relevant to this object. will finish by coup
d9a OF The events in Hungary where Moscovite genius
has been pre- emnent
fussa Is so astute so PRESIDENT and so pant 10 all,
that by her agents of very kind and by her gold she pre-
pares The events for the purpose OF determining the re-
suits. II we affirm that il is she who has for long
time Iabored to neie the Hungarians and to encourage
them IN their efforts 10 econquer Their national rights,
and urged them 10 demand new cons'tuiion-she who
has noushed the enthusiasm of to ifrlse and op
press the other natonates OF Hungary-she who has
melted Austria in her embarla ssment, and alter her
bright moments OF liberality, 10 deceive the Magyars-
who has, unseen helped 10 raise them en- ase-who has
daitered Kossuth and then prepared Gorgey when the
favorable moment should come, 10 counterbalance and
finally destroy him--if we affirm that Russia has even
exercised power among the Rouges and The Bancs IN
France and helped to plot the lamenable days OF June
to paralyze the democracy, and pushed the French inter
venon IN Italy in order TO have the same right 10 inter

network OF her system over the Slavesifw we affirm that
she has acted in to nslga;e the Magyars TO

what the farest deductions from circumstances and the
positive facts OF history justify us in affirming.
Supposng, then, that all this ,rue are tempted to
believe that Russia is formidable and that her pro-
grammes are like the book of destiny. As a military
power she is not Terrible she wants concentration

Russia and Austria have played the parts Of two rival
cour,esans in Europe Which will be victorious! The
youngest Sooner later the older will second the vice
and become the witness OF the detestable acts Of her
young rival.
The other European powers. enlightened, and morally
and materially strong are too noble 10 stoop to the
employed by these two corrupt and corrupling powers
Craiuness and weakness invent articles and snares
which dsdained by free, honest, and vigorous.
These arul powers rest upon hypocrisy and alsehood
and. though they appear colossal, may them fall
TO the establishment OF the world like the house whose
foundations were laid in the sand.
Already has Austria placed herself under the protec

all liberty and progress, is and frghtiul feature in
the history OF nations The first showed itself in The
wars of the great French revolution, when the nobles

In the affairs of Germany and Italy, the genius o
Russia which is the genius OF pure absouusm, is fel
most sensby Austria is but the creature OF her will
Indeed her movements are like the wind rusng in thu
trees whose effects apparent but whose march W,
cannot see-so secret, and yet ehectua, is her infu

Absolu,ism. however, has principle to contend with
