, that is absorbed by despotism.
Russia got hold of the sensible idea
very readily. May be that young Al
exander had in the first moment noble
nclinations: he was Young, aud tie
warm heart Of youth is susceptible to
noble sentiments. II is not common
in history to see such Francis IoSephs
Eof Austria--so Young and vet such Il
Nero as he is. But few wears OF pow
er were sufficient TO extinuuish every
spark of noble sentiment, if there was
one in Alexander's young heart. Up
on the throne of the Romanows is the
man soon absorbed by the Autccrat.
The air of the traditional policies of
St. Petersburg is not that air, where the
plant of regeneration can grow, aud
the sensible idea become soon weapon
of honor, oppression and Russian pre-
ponderance. Russia availed herself Of
the idea of Pauslavism 10 break Tur-

with the idea 10 become the rulers OF
the world, in order that they might not
think of liberty. He knew that mans
breast cannot harbor two passions at
once. lie gave them ambition, and ex-
cluded the spirit of liberty. This am-
bition got hold of all the .clave nations
through Europe. So became Pausla-
yism the source of movement, not oi
nationality, but of the dominion of lam
guages. The word .'iauenage" repIa-
ced every other sentiment, and SO il
became the curse to the development
of liberty.
Only one part of the Scavonic race
saw the matter clear, and withstooi
the current of this Internal Russian
plot. They were the Polish democrats
the only ones who understood that
to fight for liberty is TO fight for nation
atty. Therefore, they fought in our
ranks, and were willing to flock in
thousands of thousands TO aid us in our
struggle; but | could not arm them, so
| could not accept them. We our
selves, we had hundred fold more
hands ready to fight than arms-7and
nobody was in the world TO help us
with arms. There is the same origin
and real nature OF the question of matir-
ematics in Europe. Now, let ne see
: what was the condition of Hungary
under those circumstances. Eight hun
dred and fifty years ago, when the first
King of Hungary. St. Stephens. be-
came christian himself, converted the
Hungarian nation to christianity. Ii
was the Roman Catholic clergy OF Ger
many whom he invited TO assist him in
his pious work. They did, but il was
natural that the pious assistance hap
{ pened also to be accompanied by some
worldly design.
Hungary offered wide field to the
ambition of foreigners. And they per-
suaded the king TO adopt a curious
principle, which he laid down in his
: political testament. That is, that II is
not good when the people of a country
: is but Of one extraction and speaks one
tongue. There was yet adopted an
other rule; that is, TO advise the Ian

diplomatic language of government

, ceedings. So il became, Of course, that

Latin of course. This Is the origin OF
