The rulers of Sd Europe have created revo-
lutions almost without number by trampng on
privileges and pledges to which they had SOL
EMMY bound themselves to adhere. The Eu-
ropean revolutions of 1848 were started by the

privileges guaranteed to their people. The re-
cent attempt in Spain to get up revolution
if it can be so styled-was set on foot, not by
the Spanish people, but by parties holding Of
| fee under the government, or else connected
with the throne. Monarchs and their tools,
those paid myrmidons, who aid them in schemes
OF absoiutlsm, are the real reyolulionists. The
people who oppose them are defenders of their
own rights, and if the people triumph, as we
pray God they ever may, why may they not
treat as traitors to the country those who at

eminent A free, republican press should scout
the idea of initiating the sophistry of the mon
archlal organs, who reason from the absurd
dogma that the king can do no wrong. that the
public officers are always in the right, and that
all the wrong and responsibility of popular out
breaks sests with and on the people who resist
the iniquitous measures of their rulers. Even
where wItten constitutions do not exist, there
is moral compact between the ruler and the
ruler being morally bound to rule in
justice and for the common welfare, and the
ruled only bound to obey while justice and judy
ment are righteously administered But if the
ruler turns to oppression, he is revolutonst, ;
and the ruled are absolved from their obliga-
ion to render allegiance. The most guilty re- !
'olutloniSts in Europe are the monarchs, petty
princes, dukes and autocrats, who have con- I
plred time and again, and are continually plot t
ing and conspiring against the rights the vel
are and the peace and happiness of those whom -
