sumbering feuds of all Europe enveloping in flame
and internal revolution ancient Germany Hungary
and Poland Christian and Moslem alliance pre.
sented new and strange spectacle. But recourse
to the vengeful passions of all the revolutionary
fury OF the continent is to sweep all Europe with
the tempest OF war. This merciless alternative
brings to our memories your old alliance with the
merclless savage whose war was the universal mas
sacre OF sexes in all conditions and ages when by
your own strength you had failed to overthrow
these colonies Such allies you humanely armed
against your :" brethren in America" from whom
you now ask sympathy and the aid of sentiment in
your present alliance, scarcely less unnatural and
unhoy than that with savages against the struggles
of these American colonies
But should the allies attempt to reconstruct these
thrones without recourse to revolution with the as
sent Of Austria, Prussia, and the other German
States, it would then become necessary to restore
Italy and Greece. What living diplomatists could
thread the labyrinth of difficulties in the final ad
justment Of metes and bounds? The mind of n
NIatternich would be lost in such a maze! | again
repeat that the equibrio of Europe is an abstrac-
ton OF diplomacy, an utter impossiblity. The
sword alone can reconstruct Europe, and war alone
can aflix new boundaries. That sword reluctantly
unsheathed by Russia, will not be returned to its
scabbard until lslamism is smtten through and
the skies OF old Asia, where man was created and
redeemed, shines again with the light that first ir-
radiated Judea with the promise of Bethlehem
Even then it will hang over all Europe as the
SWORD OF Damocles above his throne suspended by
q hair
These few only of the difficulties in the wav
OF permanent peace to Europe. Those who dream
OF peace while eighty thrones yet stand, whose con-
tIcung interests may at any moment disturb the
peace OF 300,000000 of the race will find in the
reazations Of their illusions continued wars There
Will be no repose to Europe until one federal power
controls the entire continent. The consolidation
/ N n
lstmg monarchies and thrones is inevitable. God is
working out this great result which will be the be-
! ginning Of peace to mankind. The example of the
United States Of America has filled the world with
this sentiment, and the progress of these States in
every element Of national greatness and prosperity
IS the guarantee to Europe that all her clashing
thrones by consolidation into one federal head re-
tanning constitutional sovereignty through represen-
tation, may be harmonized and the peace of the
world secured Napoleon | and Peter of Russia
saw it with a cearness of vision almost prophetic
he former thirty years ago gave fifty years as the
minimum of time that would see all Europe repub-
lican or Cossack. Repubcanism has had but brief
and ephemeral existence.
But are you sure that Poland would consent to
reassume throne whose monarch would hold his
ohce by the uncertain tenure of the good will of
France and England! Would Poland consent to
limits Of empire defined by those thronesl Would
Poland take a constitution draughtcd to suit the
taste and ambition of other powers Would she
not hold every breath Of her national existence by
the favor and consent of monarchs whose thrones
arc now trembling in the struggle of war! There
is strangencss in this newborn love of France and
England for the unfortunate Poles. Their appeals
to those thrones in the hour of their trial-"when
freedom shrieked and bade the world farewelln-
were unheard You then consented to the parti-
ton that shared her out to other thrones and saw
Poland ezpunged from the family of nations. The
m If lip 1.-Two 10, Il
ants are too proud and brave race to accept from
you now the name and nationality they have the
spirit to win with the sword should it be their in
erest to reassert their rights to nationality and to
resume place in the family of nations But the
idea of the restitution of Poland by the allies is
the thnnest chimera of the startled diplomacy of
your alliance. Russia alone can reconstruct that
empire This is as well known to Poles as to you
Or |. She IS the only power that can guaranty
constitution, and execute such guarantee. But the
Poles, a race, have coalesced with the Slavo-R Rus
SIAN and their homogeneity makes them contented
and happy.
Many Of these reasons apply with equal force to
your contemplated reconstruction of Hungary and
Germany. The Magyars prOscriptiye and ancient
hatred of the Turk is undyng. It's not less strong
now than it was three centuries ago, when the val
or Of the Magyars stayed the tide of Moslom con-
quest, that threatened the subverson of every
throne, and the extinction of Christianity in Eu-
rope. In the nature OF things the Magyar and the
Turk are irreconcilable enemies. The Magyar has
no love for the Auscoyte; but in his imperishable
hatred Of the Moslem, his sympathies are with Rus
sia Any alliance that restores Islamisnl, whose
overthrow has cost Hungary, in the wars Of the
Cross 100000 of lives cannot have favor with the
fiery spirit Of the Magyar race. Besides, all Ger
many has its eyes open to the exhibit of the present
war has made Of your real weakness The Mag
var has seen that you cannot raise in your own do
minions $4,000 men to your aurels and the
little that is left of your veteran regiments that
have wasted before the impetuous valor and the
bettsrdisciplined defenders of the faith and so of
Russia. What assurance have the Magyars that
you aid them in men or money, when your
army is literally non-existent and the continuance
of this war involves your treasury in rretrevable
bankruptcy! France can promise but little more,
The throne of Napoleon is known to every Magyar
to be sustained by bayonets alone. 1t is not fixed
in the hearts of the people Revolution is as sure
follow the disasters of this war as the laws of
Nature are fixed and certain. All Hungary knows
this. What guarantee, then, can France offer the
Magyars that they rely upon, for material Of
war any other aid, should they rise against
Austria
The Cossack empire by slow acquisition in pow
er, has become colossal, and now bestrdes two
thirds of that continent numbering 100000 900 of
souls. She is strong in every element that makes
power enduring, commanding every resource in
war, and controlling every branch of trade and
commerce that gives prosperity and growth in
peace. In name she is an absolute monarchy-in
fact the government approaches nearer the repre-
sentative will of the masses than any other in Eu
rope. In war she is terrible but slow and just
