why should England plunge into the ca1ntiea OF war
to Keep that Austria safe One answer - given 20
this question which brings me to the last chapter of
my remarks. 1t s said that the integrity OF the Aus
TRAN Empire is necessary TO the maintenance OF the
balance Of power. Oh this word specser as 1t is, that
cannot stand the light Of commonsense, this word Is
terrible Moloch, to which right, justice political mo-

Ike that of the old Syans, creates the diseases whch

remark Of practical character. Artificial States.

upon il. Hear hear. Against what kind OF prepon-
derance is the Austrian Empire meant to constitute
barrier Evidently either against Russia or against
France. Well, a. TO Russia. There ure in the Aus
tran Empire seventeen millions Of people belonging 10
the Sayonic race; all Of them discontented, because
not orly oppressed politically bnt also deprived of ma
tODal existence. Now, imsgne Russia desiring TO
strike an ambitious blow anywhere. VII Austrla be

gle moment Of the past Why Russia need only to

" your Iationalityhere ] am to belp you and they
will rise and where will Austria be This is the rea-
son why Austria did not dare draw her sword ia the
late CImean war. Is that barrier Why, il is
high road inviting ambition to an easy march.
ICheerl Now reverse the picture. Let those sew
enteen millions be iyercd from the Austrian
yoke, and they would be what Slavonic Poland was
ill quartered with the concurrence Of Austria.
Again, as to France. On the 18th November last
spoke at Glasgow the following words: la any war
" in which France VIII stand the side and Aus
"tra the other, France has but to advance to tire
"frontiers Of any Of the nationaltes oppressed by
Austria and say Here am TO help you, rise aud
"'thiow off the yoke Of Austria and they will hail
"the invitation with enthusiasm" You are jus, on
the of seeing this anticipation realized il Italy.
As the French advance you nsy IN them new Deu-
Gallons raising up armed foe TO Austria from every
stone. And you may the anticipation by-and-by
realized in other quarters too. L. Austria held not
Italy in her grasp, would Italian question be posi-.
bic No, Austria is not barrier; her very existence
is the sword OF Damoces suspended over the settled
condition Of Europe; il is the cavern from which the
European volcano is fed. f. Hear hear, AID cheers
Let Austria vanish into tie gull Of eternal perton
which'is yawniDg for her lcheersl, aud We may yet
hear perhaps of local revolutions but they will remain
mere domestic affairs European wars OF ambition
will become forever impossible, and you will not
see any longer the htesyest Of Europe drained
by the keeping up of large standing armies,
because the independence of every nation viii
find guarantee in the independence Of all lCheers
