The Mission OF Kossuth and the osu1pauoh

NAPOLEON. a Just survey OF the necessary el-
fects of the colossal vlllainy OF the french
manner would seem to give TO that mission
now and greater significance. Unless 1t be true
,ha, old Europe Is to be utterly abandoned OF
Cod and Man. to be given over to the lusts of
tho flesh and the devil, and TO be hopelessly
abandoned as the lawful prey OF tyrants and
usurpers, without any prospect OF redemption or
salvation this GROWING act OF despotic out
race would seem, OF all things, to be that which
will most certainly and speedily bring on the
xreat struggle against the abomlnable tyranny
of the half-dozen dynasties who blasphemousy
claim to rule and grind the two hundred mil
hons of that Continent by the grace OF God.
France seems to be, she well may be, con-
founded by the audacity Of the act which has put
her under the dominion OF the barbarian power Oh
military despotism in a single night; which mas
prostrated. by single blow, an entire ana
laboriously constructed fabric OF CONSTITUTIONAL
Government, demolished her temples OF JUSTICE
torn her laws into fragments and trampled them
under foot, silenced the press, and suppressed
the freedom of speech, thrown down every
guard that protects the rights, liberties and
lives of her citizens, and leaves naked and ex-
po.ed her thirty millions Of people, claiming TO
he the foremost nation of modern civilization, to
the entire control and keeping of branless'
penniless, vagabond rou6, pardoned cuiprit, a
hawk in an eagles nest, an ass in lions skin,
who. if he does not die OF the fonest disease
known TO man, it will probably be owing to the
scientfc skill of the eminent men OF the nauoh
upon whom he is practiclng his criminal leger-
domain, his sublimely impudent usurpa'cns.
When she shall have recovered from this sur
mise, and emerged from the state OF overwhelm-
ing astonishment to which the stupendous crime
of her self.constituted ruler naturally gives rise,
what must follow What must she behold IN
Louis Napoleon What but tyrant monkey
aiming to mimic the worst tricks OF his great
namesake What bu, pirate, who getting on
board a richly freighted ship under false pre-
lenses. cornnpts the crew, heads nutny,
throws the lawful owners into the sea, plumbers
the treasure, and amid swageer and riot, and
blood, and debauchery, begins the consumption
and destruction of all that remains And how
long, under this view Of her condition can she
be patient Will this monster crime be permit
ted to 20 unavenged for one short year Small
he not meet pirates fate VIII not the yard
arm claim its victim Can the assassin wait
As things now stand the continent OF Europe
is Cossack, if we except few small and quiet
spots from which the world seldom hears politl'
cay The people have not been so completely
under the heel of tyrants since the time OF Ma
poleom. Every advantage, every right, and
every privilege wrested from those tyrants 10y
the people during the entire life of whole gen.
Grafton, and that mainly time of profound
peace, has been recovered, and nothing is to-day
gained for freedom there but the increased con
hdence OF the people in their power, and the IN
flexible determination to use it. Two hostile
armies drawn up in battle array, were never
more completely and palpably pitted against
each other than are the People OF Europe to-uay
against the Kings. The forces are marshaled,
the battalions are mustered, the drums are
beating and the banners wave. There can be
no armistice and no laying down OF arms Till a
bloody battle has been fought. The Kings will
have it so. They have possession of the arms
and the ammunition, the tortresseS and the
treasury of the nations Their motto is, that
the few should n,@ and must rule the many
They are in position to be able to use hundreds
TO control thousands, by armmg the few and dis
amine the many. And this is their hope. The
people are the sheep and they are the wolves
So they believe nd will act.
II is a PLAIN case. Justice, Liberty, Truth,
the Right, national and personal independence,
all free Governments and all free men every
where, Heaven and God, are on the one side :
falsehood, oppression, tyranny, all the powers
of darkness, on earth and in hell, led on by the
Despots who rule, are on the other The con
fict is seen to be inevitable on all hands. The
world is filled with It's signs The Spnl OF the
Ase herads it, The day dawnS which shall
witness it, The fact that the masses OF the
people seem to be bound hand and foot is nothing.
II is better that volatile, restless, impatient
France should be among the nations that are
under the yoke. France Is, of all countries, the
easiest and mos, effective ground on which to
light the flames OF revolution With France
content OF measurably SO, the other less mercu-
nal nations would find more difficulty IN rousing
10 arms But France canno, be bound for any
length of time by any tyranny, least of all a
tyranny that derives all It's vitality from the
mere name OF a man who has lain in his grave
for thirty years-a tyranny which Is encircled 10y
no halo of military glory, and possesses no pres
tige of civil renown, but rests upon PLAIN, pal
pable, vulgar, barbarian, brute force.
France being enslaved, the cause Of the Con
tinent is simph6ed and consolidated. There are
no rival aims. Each nation stands upon the
same footing and moves toward the same result.
The yrants having their feet upon the neck o.
the people, the people will aim a, putting their
feet upon the neck OF the tyrants And how
easily this may be done and how quickly 1t may
he done, we may CONJECTURE but we canno, know.
