smoke next He was loudly appauded on presenting
Lmself lie said it not out of place TO glance at
the condition of the oppressed people everywhere.
Ii had been hoped that the signal for general revo
luton would be given by Caban invasion, bur now
il appears that the signal is to come from Europe
beginning in Spain. The trial of the Queen mother
there before the Cores would be as tine judgmeat of
a sovereign by the people has ever BEEN the guar
aptee Of the revolution It, sO-called present leaders
are already in dissentioD, and, if the deusion of q
constitutional monarchy be only avoided the reyou
ton and the republic will be safe. The Ango-French
alliance with Turkey Col. Forbes attributed, not to
apy wish TO befriend that country check Russia,
but to keep down the people. Their campaign has
hitherto been conducted on peace princi-
pies. Laughter The Emperor Of Russia
knows that the crowns Of Europe dare not,
Bona fde, go TO war with him, but he dares to
90 10 war with them in all sincerity. Revolutions,
1said COL F are the basis of his hopes, they also
the basis of ours. lApplause They will serve bus
PURPOSE; we will make them serve MS also. In
The spring if the continue, the opportunity Will
arise for the revolution. There will never be such
another; let the people seize it and they viii obtain
tie Universal Republic. [Great applausel -
