Forty-two years ago, when the Vienna Con-
greys met, there was business to occupy the
congress in the spoliation of France aud az
Vordingly, while arrangements were being made
to plumber France of her millions, the members
were very kindly disposed towards the people
OF Europe, and constitutions were promised to
almost all the States of Germany. More than
three years passed, during which these consti-
tutions we're only granted in few rare in
tances, and in Italy and parts Of Germany
great discomfort arose at their being withheld
On this succession Of four more congresse
were held by the sovereigns of Europe-at Car
lsbad (lSl9), Vienna $500, Troppau Qs20).
ard Lay back (1S2I--for the sole and special
purpose Of consolidating the tyrannical govern
ments Of Europe against their various peoples
In 1922 the last congress-that of Verona-was
held. Its OBJECT was to carry out the doctrines
preached at Troppau, loudly asserted at Lay
oa"k, ard recognised by all the European gov
erpments- the doctrine Of armed intervention
and to enable France to send an army int'
Spain for the purpose of setting up the monster
Ferdinand there.
Now, in oil these cases the sOvereigns OF
Russia, Austria, Prussia and France legistated,
10 the most peremptory way, for each other 9
subjects, and for other countries, like Spain, be-
youd their dominions. Again one cannot bat
ask by what right?
In the second place, to look at the question
from the point Of view which people in Eas
land must take, England went to war, she says
to save Turkey from the rapacious grasp Of
hui bred millions of dollars in doing -:
while Spain, Portugal, Prussia, the Pope, tue
King Of Naples, the King of Sweden, and the
King Of Denmark, were taking their ease look
ing on. Why should England be asked, no y
that the war haa tssn fought and its cost in
matters tor the future? Is she to have nothing
for her pains and outlay but a single voice in
party Of non-belligerents?
At Vienna, in 1914, there were represented
at the Congress, Russia, Prussia, Austria,
Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Swe-
den, the Pope, Saxony, the Low Countries Ba-
varia, Switzerland, Genoa, Wirtemburg, "be-
sides host Of smaller princess" and though
one OF two Of these were not allowed to vote,
they all attended at the Congress and had
their influence. Most Of the Germans were in
the pay Of Russia. as they are still; and Aus
tria, by her diplomatic skill, managed, with
the help of Russia to turn the scale always in
her own direction. Are we to have repeti-
ton Of the farce?
THE GREAT ALBANY KANSAS MEETNG-HAs
THE Rev. JOSEPH A. ScovLLE GONE OVER? :
1t will be seen from the proceedings in another
column of this paper, that the subscriptions at
the great Kansas meeting in Albany on Thurs
day night last amounted to $4,940, of which
sum Gerrit Smith gave $4,000, Z. G. Delavan,
chief of the Temperance Alliance, $1,000, and
the State Register and Erening Journal each 500
Gerrit Smith was the old man eloquent " OF
the evening, both in words and cash; but we
have to deal with another feature of the affair.
