The Star spanglea Banner raised In Earope
(rrOm the London Leader, Sept. la.l
One course would be certain TO secure victory for
the peoples Of Europe against the crowned coaspi
racy of Austria and her allies; We indicated that
course last week; but let US now poiat out iss ad
vantages rather more specifically.

not aiding that inhuman conquest We have coun-
seled the peoples of Europe to seek leader in the
natural head Of the democracy Of the world-ths
1t would be quite possible to place at the head
of revolutionary forces, an American general bear
ing the star spangled banner of the Union; it would
be quite possible, in due course to engage even the
service, and to dictate from Washington the terms
fer the capitalization of Vienna and st. Petersburg
Foremost among the political advantages Of such
q plan would be its tendency to override the jea
louses and reciprocal distrusts which might still be

though Germany is becoming almost entirely do
public men; in Italy there are constitutionaIists
and republicans, federalists and Unitarians;
in France there is no absolute majority, tn ,ugh
one might be created by the mere fact of pro
claiming crusade against absolltisn on grounds
sufficiently broad. The first great objects to secure
are, the national independence of each nation and
the freedom Of each people leaving internal and
ulerior questions to be settled by each people whom
troll: We have no fear that the Democratic party
of Europe will be unable to subdus the jealousies
and unite in action against the common enemy;
but no one can be blind to the fact that each Sec
ton Of that party might be indisposed to accept the
lead Of any other section, lest it should appear,
ipso facto, to give up its own defensive principle.
Such mistrust would not apply to an American

take the lead 10 the struggle for national inde-
pendence and popular freedom, without preju lying
the external question of any one nation We bs-
lieye that the mere hoisting of the star-spangled
banner on the field Of Europe would call forth the
vast body of the peoples of Europe rising of the
peoples from the Rhine to the Danube, from the
Baltic to the Mediterranean, against organized
tyranny.
Even to the United States the political advan-
tages would be considerable. The unem ployed en-
ergies, which are beginning to raise troublesome
questions at home, would fnd glorious AM bene.
fetal vent in that dist mt field Action Of that
kind might hep the republicans to gain time, and
with time power. for the deliberate settlement OF
that social question which presses upon them most
dangerously. II would enable them to force back,
to European ground, that class Of disputes which
English abolitionists, aided by manOeuvring Eng-
lish diplomatists, now make them discuss so in
conveniently on American ground alone. Besides,
is not European intervention-the Intervention
of Europe an governments-betweent the Americans
and the Spaniards, at last become imminent in
Cuba
The working 1T of certain political problems on
the continent would be Of vast service to tho Eng
lish people, and not less to the English colonies
One of the first advantages would be, that Englan
ed from the present nightmare Of doubt and apathy;
and it weuld not long suffer its government to alb
stain from taking its proper place by the side of
the republic with France at the head Of the anti
despotic movement
But the CONNER ,ial and economical advantages
of the great movement would not be less striking
than the political Upon these, for the present,
We must necessarily touch briefly I; but We beseech
the reader to think out the considerations which
We Indicate. For the Americans. we need not
enlarge upon the pickings which are to be enjoyed
in the conquered treasures and the captared
palaces Of imperial luxury but We mean far more
solid and general advantages. For example. the
shipping Of the United States, which now seek an
unpeasont and hazardous employment in the slave
trade, might find more congenial and not less
profitable employment in the crusade against des-
potism. In that respect the United State, might
perform the functions Of Venice during the cru
sades against the less barbarous Sara sens. Eng
sh ca ptal would find abundant employment In
supplying the newly freed industries Of Europe
with the means Of developing internal resources.
Indeed, this emancipation Of Europe would realize
the true complement of free trad at pres mt fee

frs. step towards &c xtendpg the alliances Of COM

trade Of Europe to the colonies Canning talked of
I" calling new world into existence" when he re-
cognized the South American states but this cru.
sade would call the old world into existence for the
new.
Need We dwell on the social adv vantages Of the
movement Every state engaged would feel them
Naples, Rome, Milan, and Baden can sell what are
the hideous cruelties-the expressions Of fautasti-
cal taxation, the inquist orial tyranny of an official
priesthood, the imprisonments, the foggings of
men and women, the subsection Of women and chill
dren to the brutates Of licentious alien soldiery,
and not less licentious native gendaruerie-cruel-
ties now daily inflicted by the Holy Alliance
