ties. On suppressing the revolutions of 1S4S,
they at once again set about their old work,
being subsequently greatly encouraged to push
it, by the facility with which the people Oh
France suffered themselves to LAPSE under
despotic government, as well as by the freely
EXPRESSED .ympathies of the aristocracy Of
ENGLAND, who read in the swift progress Of
constitutional liberty at home, the speedy
downfall of special and class privilege there.
All the world know with what IMMUNITY and
success they have carried out the doctrines
of the treaties of Laybach and Verona
in the small matters of the little German
States, Italy, Piedmont, &c, subsequently, ;
cutting. carving. and debating, among those
unable to resist them. without a why or a
wherefore France has not been in a situa-
ton until very recently to look after them
and between the vital Importance of peace to
their business interests, and the ceaSeless
PRAYERS of their alistocracy, the English gov
eminent have managed to 4aintain their late
policy of on-interference against the macai
nations of the despots, almost unquestioned at
home Emboldened by this apparent immu-
nifty in wrong doing, Russia and Austria re-
Gently essayed to partition Turkey between
themselves, as Russia and Prussia served Po-
land France and England, half reused by
the danger to their immediate material inter-
ests involved in the success of these machina-
tions. checked them for the Instant when Aus
tria threw herself on the preteXt that she was
acting only az an umpire, while Russia, re-
linauished half the bone which was in her
jaws and retires growing as it were, with the
other half They do not abandon their pur-
pose, however and again resort to the plan
of national robbery by small steps, in this
march against law, right, and reason, initiated
in the partition of Poland, as before remarked.
In the mean time. the United States have be-
come one of the great nations the world, with
commercial rights and interests scattered eve
rywhere; with their people, too, travelling the
world over, sowing, necessarily: theiride of
Government far and wide, by personal con-
tact, as well as through the means of a free
press. They see that ere they can finally sue
coed in their schemes on Europe and Asia,
they must first bring this Government practi-
cally to acknowledge that its citizens have no
personal rights, or rights of property CT de-
feasible public interests, where such may con-
ter-plots. The seizure of kosta, not yet full
citizen of the United States, was planned in
order to get up n case in which we might seem
to be only panttaify involved: it not being
prudent to "try on the game upon us) where
the liberty of an undoubted American citizen
was involved. These are facts so plain to all
who watch the current of European events
that all who will may clearly perceive them.
Let the three despotic Powers only be able to
say that America dares not dispute their au-
thOrity to work out thcirpurposes everywhere,
and under any circumstances threatening in
jury to the United States, and they are at once
to have England and France in their thumb
screws. In our case they will surely be mis-
taken Not an inch will they be permitted to
encrOach upon American rights, or we greatly
mistake the American people. And if their
ambiguous efforts for lie suppression of con.
stitutional government everywhere soon be-
come thoroughly appreciated by the English
people, Manchester and tho .sWest End
will no longer be able to sustain the Eng
lish Government in sleeping over the dan
gers to civil liberty involved in their mod.
ern Laybach and Verona movements. The
virtual protest of the three Despots (through
their Ministers) recently essayed here, is but
L card played in their game as described
above. 1t can brighten no one, and only goes
to fix their bad purposes upon them, and, to
warn the world that the time for the collision
OF the principles of free and despotic Govern
ments rapidly approaches.
