Germany render necessary strong and energetic union

by its consideration and conscientious esteem OF the
rights Of others, and in It's regard for that which

for right and law which characterize the state affairs in
Prussia must also rule her relations with Germany and
her German confederaes. Germany will render TO her
self greater service at present by endeavorng to further
the interests Of Germany in such way that prac
teal results will ensue by increase of the forces Of Ger
