The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-03-01

A paragraph in a Prague newspaper an
nounces an inevitable a 'complcte rup-
tlre of diplomatic relations between
Austria and the United Statcs," and
even intinatca that, ''if the geographic
cal position of the two powers were DIFF
fercnt, the rupture would not be conf
ned to the recall Of the Austrian repre-
sentative" by which, we suppose, is
meant, that Austria would take up arms
if the object of her hostility were with
in striking distance. 1t is fortune for
the peace ofthe world, perhaps, that
these excuses lor u prudent abstinence
from offensive operations exist. A war
between Austria and The United States
would, indeed, soon come to be a war
between Freedom and Dcspotism, and
would be likely, in is progress, to in
volye the fate Of every European dynas-
tv. How far mere pride Of country
would lead the subjects of tie horse Of
Hapsburgh to take the part Of their OPP
pressing masters, or how far they would
sympathize with the Great Republic i'll
her contest with the Great Empire, it is
impossible to tell but the experiment
would either oLi;erate every vestige Of
imperial authority, or consolidate and
strengthen it anew. We trust no such
experiment is at and,-but the strife
would be Tor a stake worthy OF the most
heroic sacrifices. Trieste is afar oil, IN.
deed, and the Atlantic and die AIediter-
ranean lie between us and that solitary
Austrian gateway 10 Vienna; but it must
not be forgotten that, in !he infancy of
the Republic, we IN the same seas,
brought the African Turk to bis Knees,
and that, in later days, neither the ''im-
prcgnab.e' forlifcations Of Vera Cruz
nor the 'impas5able passes OF Cerro
Gordo could save a Mexican capital.
