politics. but the future of the masses of the
continent, is not so satisfactory, and cannot
be so definitely predicted. The people are
strongly attached to the idea of a republic,
but do not possess sufficient amount Of in
idea. With most of them, I fear, the idea
of liberty is nothing more or less than
thorough and unbrided license; the gross
Ignorance in which they are enveloped, will
for a long time to come, prevent successful
attempt to establish government on the
plan of our own. But they have still re
medy, by an occasional revolution: their rul
ers will be terrified into concession, and dread
of consequences will prevent tyrants, even
though they may have been elected by the
people, from in future attempting to initiate
the role of Louis Napoleon, who to crafty
his love for power has sacrificed the liberties
of his people. Years ago he was a sworn
friend and supporter of Republican principles
and when he took the oath of the Carbonari,
he we'll knew that the penalty of a violation
of that oath, was death; he has been tried
and sentenced by men who know no such
word as fail. One attempt to execute has
failed--does that secure him! No, the pun
shment of Orsin and his comrades gives
the society the additional incentive Of re-
venge; his death is only question of few
months; the men and the opportunity will
be found, if it costs them hundred lives;
they are determined to kill him, and kill him
they will. His death seems to have been
the understood signal Of general rising in
Europe and the evolutionary movement
will probably awai. that event. All the 9TH
ers have commenced in France and it is in
that country we may loo k for the next one;
and if, when it does come, the political and
intellectual advancement of the masses is
promoted thereby, the blood shed in the
cause will not have been wasted

OMIkRON.
Bsayn The editor of the Press in his last

Bsgn The editor of the Press in his last
weeks issue endeavored to explain the pres
ent position he is trying to assume in politics
by saying that he found castaway plank
from the Democratic platform, while he was
drifting around, which he seized upon to
keep from going to the bottom-that it suits
him, and he expects TO ride to shore upon it.
The article was nautically ima. .ination, but
very deficient in the essential quality of truth.
The editor nor any one else, has found a plank
discarded by the Democracy from their
platform of 1856. They adhere as tenacious
ly to the principles enunciated in the Cncin-
natl resolutions now as then and, expect to
override with them the spirit of sectional fanat
icism wherever it may dare to show its head.
The plank, the editor so fondly imagines in
his drowning struggles, that he has clutched,
is but blade Of straw floating npon the po-
li;ical waters, which will not stay his descent
to the cave'nous depths where lie tie ghast-
ly forms of the political dead and damned
that have gone before him.
