And yet, if the question OF War is 10 be consd-
cred, not from tue view of night, duty aud law
which still, IN my opinion, Is a decisive one-but
from the view Of mere policy, then believe that

word three little letters, very innocent that's all
Laughter and cheers,l But you must consider If
there really is any probability that your declaration
would be not respected, and you really had to go to
war. Aud here most decidedly, most solemnly de-
clrre, that there IS not the slightest probability nay
not even any possibility to 1t. You must net take
the Muscovite Cabinet to be blind fool Oh, no
they not. Morality deny to them but skill not
at all. Oh they are but very skilltul | know 1t
too well. tseRsstion and cheers But precisely
because they are skillfu be sure that, advised oy
England and yourself, the Gar will finally remain
at home, when Hungary will send the Haps5urgs
home. There IS no power IN Europe which has more
vulnerable parts than Russia there is none affected
with more elements OF interior weakness than des.

fear from war, when, besides his neighboring ne
cessaTy enemies, the United States and England,

war. hpplause.I have stated in another place,

planned The lasV4 evolution in France brske out in
February, lS4S. The republican principle Iaised its
head. Die the Gar interfere No. Is he, perhaps
in love with the word Republic He hates it, and
would feel an infinite delight TO sweep away every
erublioan-tosether with you, gentiemen-and ev-
en- the word - Republic from the earth. He knows
very well that III the long run his despotlsm cannot
subsist on the same continent where mlghty Re
public exists, and Still he did not interfere. lie did not

called legitimate Bourbons He didnot interfere In
ls4s for monarchy against the republican principle.
Why He dared not. lie was prudenty AFRAID
tLaughterl He got in fury, and his armies moved
toward South and West but calm nights sleep
brought reelection home, and his armies moved
again back Laughter But he resorted to another
power in which he is more dangerous than In arms
to that power before which also poor Hungary
fell-the power Of secret diplomacy. lie sent mas
culine and feminine dipomaiists to Paris and by
the very means by which heater lS30-succecded
to make out of the Citizen King, a satellite of
the Holy Alliance, he also succeeded to make
out OF the revolution Of ls4s, mock republic.
But the pulsations of the great French heart vi
bIated throughout the continent Every tyrant
uembled. Every throne quaked. Germany cared
not about his petty tyranny. The confederation OF
princes blown asunder like void chaff. The
German nation took its own destiny into its own
hands, ana from st. Pauls Church at Frankfort
threatened to become one. The power Of his father
n.law in Berlin stood not more steady upon It's feet
than drunken fellow. The Emperor OF Austria fed
from his palace after having waved out of his own
window the flag Of freedom, by his own hand, few
eeksbefore And only think gentlemen, in Vienna,

OF POland which he himself ruled, and Of whose
western frontier another Polish Province, POsen,
stood in full revolutionary flames. You can imsg-

all mankind in one head, so as he could cut

However, the French Republic became very in
nocent to him--almost an ally in many respects,
really an ally in some respects, as In unfortunate
