petty tvrant bold, and the assurance 10 nave
to meet Russia either directly or in his sat
elites, makes every oppressed nation de-
pressed in spirit, and desponding in hope to
resist oppression successfully, because it has
TO calculate not only the forces of its own op-
pressor, but also in addition, the forces of
Russia, ready to support every despot who
cannot succeed to beat down the spirit Of
freedom in his own country by his own force
This certainty of Russian aid is decisive
in the scale of events-but not as if the Car
were very powerful for himself, but because
he is powerful as -guard-as support
We have fought the Emperor of Austria we
have beaten him, crushed him to the earth,
till he flew to the fsot of the Car, mendoza
ting his aid. Our victories were, of course,
not gained without sacrifice on our part
You know that on the battlefield it is not
only the vanquished who have TO mourn
over loss. You know that your brave Du-
quesne Greys lost in one action more than
half their men. Now, if aftera victory gain
ed at such price, when the enemy is de-
feated, but the victor himself also weakened, ,
fatigued and exhausted, Russia steps in with
fresh force, well provided with every means
of war; that circumstance of course must
turn the scale, though that force be not alb
solutely formidable in itself. Herein lies
the reason why Russia is dreaded so much
1t is not powerful in itself 1t cannot send
more than $50, 900 men across the frontier,
and never had more than 100000 men as
sembled on one battle field. But with this
force it is formidable as rear-guard, falling
fresh and with full weight upon nation,
when it is exhausted by its very victories.
Z You have conquered Mexico with hand
full ofyour brave men,-and a glorious deed
it was. But suppose that after; you had de-
feated your own enemy, your regiments, ex
hausted by victory, would have to meet, at
the very evening of hard battle-day, a
new, fresh host of only 100000 well disci-
plined, well provided men; what would have
been the fate of your gallant army which
entered the city of Montezuma !? ...a
That is the condition of the European con-
tinent. That is the key of Russian prepon-
derance. Now be pleased to consider the
practical development of consequences -
Russia, in violation of the law of nations,
interfered in such manner in Hungary,
when we were exhausted by our very vcto-
rles, and had no time and no means to re-
pair our losses. And Russia has sent in
support of its fresh army, the still more dam
gerous power of its diplomacy which |
will ask the liber;y to say something here
after. Well, by this interference we were
trodden down and Austria was restored
not to its independent pcsition---thdt is lost
forever-but to a positionof tyrant at home,
obedient to the wink of his master abroad.
What WAS the consequence? Relying upon
the precedent established by Russia, the
King of Naples, the feet of the Queen of
Spain, and, above all, degraded France in
terfered in Rome, and the glorious Republi-
can struggle of Rome, worthy of the bright
est days of the Eternal City's history, was
crushed, The Emperor of Austria, and the
King Of Prussia, both ambitious re-
lying on Russian aid--were both quarrelling
about who should rule over Germany
Some German papers raised cry about
the horror of battle of brothers, where's
it would have been but a quarrel of ambitious
tyrants, out of which Germany might have
issued free nation, delivered from both.
Well, before they drew the sword, of course
they went to the Gear for permission and
advice. The Gear told them at Warsaw--m
forbid you to quarrel; and | order you to-
unite for the reconstruction Of the German
of 1915, without the slightest
addition of whatever Constitutional element.
You, both Austria and and Prussia, are or
lered to send yonr armies to Hesse Cassel,
% interfere with its domestic concerns, and
rush down by your bsyonets, the lawful res
stance of the people, against the the praise
worthy undertaking of the Grand Duke, to |
ear to pieces the sworn Constitution of the [
and. And, as to Schleswig Holstcin, which
Jared to claimits national right Of independ-
,nce, the German Confcdracy having dared
o countenance, the rebellion, shall, for pun
shment, now have to do the contrary, and
viii have torequest Austria to send an army
against Schleswing Holstein, because want
he whole of Denmark, with. all its appur- !
enances, conserved in its integrity, as sa- |
rapy for my servant and nephew, who has
o inherit the Danish domininions. SO or
Tered the Car. and so it was done, And |
ifter it was done, the Gear again, orde ed
be withdrawal Of the pageantry ofthe Con-
titution, which the Emperor ofAustria had
promised in the hour of need, to the Aus |
rian Empire, Well, it was Withdrawn The
Gar of course, does not like the word q Con
titution" in his satrapies, even ifit be not
Intended ever TO become a reality. And !
yhen every popular movement was crushed, !
very shadow of freedom Withdrawn, the /
caffolds of Hungary and Italy saturated |
With blood, the prisons filled with martyrs
he exiles driven from every asylum in the
European Continent, and Germany reduced
o a condition worse than when the Unholy /
Alliance was at the full tide, then the Car
vrote Autograph letter to Louis Napoleon,
he perjured President of France, and or
Iered him to strike the death blow to the I
french Republic, assuring him of his I'M
,erial grace and benevolent support And
louis Napoleon, observation-disclosures which
ent his Uncle to st. Helena, struck the blow.
That is the condition of Europe now. And
very oppression, sacrilege isevidently
o be traced to the common source of evil, to
hat overwhelming preponderance ofRussia,
imposed upon Europe, by its interference in
hungary. llA tEa lfga8s #9
