THE EUROPEAN SFRUGGlE,-lo tuoSc utSUOSCu
to question the relative advantages of n free and
arbitrary government, the Franto-Austrian war
in Europe may not be uninstructve. While the
troubles which have afflicted or own country
during the past half century have been limited,
scarcely causing rulle in the smooth surface of
its affairs, Europe with her nicely poised balance
of power. her finely organized political system
and incompatible police regulations, has emerged
from one exhausting crisis to plunge into another
more formidable. Without going into the merits
of the present war with reference to the Euro
pcan States, it may not be out Of place to ques-
tiou its probable effect on our own country Sep
aratod, politically, from all affinity with the
conteudng powers, we may justly expect to
command the confidence of all, upon an Nvowcd
policy of non-mtcrvcntion in foreign affairs.
We must become the producers and carriers, in
measure for the nations at variance aud will be
called upon to supply the demand which the
suspension of lobor in Europe will create In
addition to this, the tens of thousands who will
seek our shores for peaceful settlement will in
crease our national wealth in the accession OF 4
class Of people, superior perhaps to any iniuy of
foreigners who ever sought an asylum in free
America Men Of standing and worth at homc
with the increase of intelligence which now cX-
lists cannot but be discusted with the increasing
demand of human sacrifice for the r0pacous Jaws
of arbitrary power, who, in default of means Of
resistance will be compelled to cmigratc.
The hloodlcss struggles Of our own country
are in strong contrast with the scenes transpirng
in the old world, and give assurance that popular
government may be practicable. Thirty three
sovereign republics, cemcntrd in holy sister
hood moving in thcir respective orbits with silent
majesty is scene to he ioylully contemplated.
To the statesman and philonthropist the moralst
aud man, the political questions of the world
drawn in characters of blood, cannot fail to i'm
part severe lessons of instructions and a comp0r-
isoN with our own peaceful pursuits must inspire
feelings of pride in the breast Of every American.

piece of paper. They wcrc voted by Jack viii
son, 0s honest man as lives, who had his own
vote and that Of II proxy, and therefore thought
IL proper for him to vote his two votes without
tearing them apart. Another gentleman, with
three votes, stated that he put in ballots against
Daingerield through mistake. For these reasons
Daingcrneld'a friends demanded new ballot
which the Chairman refused TO grant. From his
decision an appeal was taken, and lost by one
vote.
