That very intelligent and distinguished Der
sonage. the Emperor Joseph the Second, wss
anon the first TO discern this necessary conse.
ouence Of the American Revolution on the senti.
ments and opinions Of the people Of Europe. In
letter to lis Minister in the Netherlands in
1857 he observes that " il is remarkable that
France, by the assistance which she afforded to
the Americans. gave birth to reflections on
freedom" This TACT, which the segscity Of that
mon arch perceived at so early day, is now
known and admitted by intelligent Powers all
over the world. True indeed, 1t is, that the
prevalence on the other continent Of sentiments
favorable to Republican Liberty, is the result Of
the re action of America upon Europe and the
source and center Of this reaction has doubtless
been and now IT, in these United States.
The position thus belonging to the United States
is fact as inseparable from their history their
constitutional organization, and their character,
Is the opposite position of the Powers composing
the European Alliance is from the history and
examination Of the Governments Of those Pow
ers. The soveregns who form that alliance have
not unfrequently felt it their right to interfere with
the political movements Of foreign States and
Lave, in their manifestos and declarations, de-
bounced the popular ideas Of the age, in terms so
comprehensive as of necessity to include the
United States and their forms OF government
IL is well known that one Of the leading princi
pies announced by the allied SOvereigns after the
restoration Of the BOurbons, is, that all popular
or constitutional rights are holden no otherwise
than es grants and indulgences from crowned
heads
Useful and necessary changes in legislation
and administration" says the Laybach Circular
of May, 1871, fought only to emanate from the
free will and intelligent conviction OF those whom
God has rendered responsible for power; all that
deviates from this line necessarily leads to dis
order, connections, and evils far more insutferabe
than those which they pretend to remedy And

TO have declared, IN an address to the Hungarian
Diet in 1920, that the whole world had become
foolish, and, leaving their ancient laws was in
search of imaginary constitutions These deca-
rations amount to nothing less than denial OF
the lawfulness Of the origin Of the Government
of the United States since it is certain that that
Government was established in consequence of
change which did not proceed from thrones, or
the permission of crowned heads. But the Gov
eminent of the United States heard these denun-
Citations of its fundamental principles without re-
monstrance, or the disturbance of its equsnimity.
This was thirty years ago.
The power Of this Republic, at the present mo-
ment, is spread over region, one Of the richest
and most fertile the globe, and Of IN extent IN
comparison with which the possessions OF the
House of Hapsburg are but patch on the earths
surface. Its population, already twenty-five NIL

by those who profess adherence TO the principles OF
absolute Governments If they entertain an ardent affection
for those popular forms OF political organization which
