The above shows an increase, during the last
year, of Sl0 l02 SD in the imports of free goods,
but falling off of $5l, 253, 1907 in dutiable mer-
chandise, and S3,24G,350 in specie. The course
of the import trade for the last three years is
worthy of especial notice. The year ending
June 80, 1853, shows an inceease over the pre-
vious year of S55,O33,3O5, and the year 1854
showed an increase over 1853 of S37 ,S0l sos (;

Thus we see that the Diet at Frankfort is
nothing more nor less than a great Juggernaut
in the hands of the Princes and Mobiles of Ger
many, for the purpose of crushing out the lib
critics of the people. Its action in reference to
the mobiles of Wurtemberg is a long stride in
the reactionary movement, which seeks to brush
away all traces of the revolution of I848. This
movement will continue until the people, exas-
perated at the wrongs thus inflicted upon them,
will embrace the first opportunity to precipitate
a crisis and raise revolution.
