ROYAL MARRIAGES.

~ 10 udu enough, and
productive of great evils. But the very
worst prostitution of the marriage relation,
done' as i IS, under legal and religious sane.
ton, is the making o! State matches. The
sending of some innocent child abroad. as
vile or husband, into foreign royal or ducai
family. IS sending Pandora, and sooner or
later the mischief becomes apparent. These
State marriages complicate and embarrass
European politics to an almost unconquera-
ble degree. We felt a sort Of sorrow for the
daughter OF Victoria in her Prussian match,
And 1t IS unquestionable that nothing but
the remarkable good sense of Prince Albert.
and the affection with which the British
Queen is regarded. have prevented the
Queens continental alliance from being a
source OF great confusion. Even with these
qualifying circumstances, the domestic re-
latons Of Victoria have embarrassed the
British Cabinet. And the difficulty i like.
y TO be rather increased than diminished.
especially in regard Of war in Europe.
The late French marriage is well understood
to be political union. The Bonapartes
have not been happy in this sort Of thing.
The second marriage Of he Nepoleon was
the great error Of his life: and we have VET
to see what the present Emperor can make
OF matrimonial brokerage. For the first Em-
peror not only failed in his own, but was
disappointed in nearly all that he projected
for his family.
II seems tous republicans triflinr matter
to be studying court almanacs but without
this intrinsically small knowledge we can
know really but little of the springs which
cause eccentric movements in European
cabinets and conferences. Here and there
IS family which appears to be shelyed, like
the old French dynasty, for instance. Ii
would seem Of little consequence what the
French legitimists may do or think. Yet.
with their ineradicable pride and their in
yeterate adherence TO tradition, favored by
the prepossessi0n in their behalf which il
general IN courts and among old European
families, the day may come when even the
dcspised Bourbons may lift their crests and
burnish their faded bearings. Nobody but
Louis Napoleon could have restored the
empire Of paryenues in the face of the pro.
tests oi dishouured Legitimacy.
Again, we say, we may thank our stars
that we have on this continent none of these
difficulties. We have anomalies and per-
plexttIes; but the very worst Of these is moths
ing compared TO the European dilemmas.
