The AMERICAN KEyoLUrIoNARY LEAGUE

ton OF the American Revolutionary League for
Europe" signed by NJ Schmidt, Of Boston.
president; +. Wagner, of Boston, and J. X.
rye g. OF Ia timore, vice presidents; and Mr.
Whllimann, OF Baltimore, MIR. Gloss, Of Rich
m0nd, and others, committee. 1t is the result of
the revolutionary congress held in Philadelphia
from January 29th to February lst, 1882 The
Ledger says
The design of the league il to overthrow
monarchy and establish republican democracy
throughout Europe. For the accomplishment
of this purpose the frs. object ia cooperation
of the democratic elements, and their fusion
into one great party, looking only to radical
revolution in Europe their aim Heretofore
the democratic elements have been disunited,
through national antipathies and warning
against each other They are now to be united,
for the destruction of the common enemy, until
which time the contest for "the spells" which
usually begins with the first revolutionary ef-
fort, is to be postponed. The means to accom-
plish this object is to have agitation in Europe,
as well as America, accumulation of a revou-
tionary fund, and the formation of armed organ
izations in This country ready for the struggle
WDeh IL comes. Military companies are 10 De
formed in every city and county in the Union,
and auxiliary associations, who pay weekly con
tributions to the funds. The whole super
vision of af,irs is to be under the control of
congress of all the associations, aud, during its
recess, by an executive board A political CON-
mittee Of three persons, elected by this con
gress, has unrestricted powers to act in concert
with other nationalities to take the steps necces
sary to accomplish European revolution. This,
in brief, is the organization and object of this
accociation, and the question arises how far
they are consistent with the duties which Amer
lean ctizens owe to their own laws, and the
treaties entered into by the United States with
the nations of Europe. 1t is a great scheme of
intervention in the affairs Of foreign nations, if
not by the government, at least by the people
of the United States. If the organization sue
ceeds to the extent of its wishes, how long
would the government Of the United States be
able to keep from meddling with foreign quar-
rels?
