realization Of this project, the cooperation Of that

King when offering TO him the imperial crown was
lent and readily accepted. Austria, however by
firm and threatening opposition, frustrated the
Prusfah scheme, and since that time (lS5O), the

The fundamental position in the platform OF this

certainty that every square foot of Austrian terri

must become the prey Of Russia while, oil she

every piece detached from her territory, is gain

separate Republican party does not exist in
Germany at the present time, not even in secret.
As matters stand now, the German governments
might fairly allow free discussion on the question Of
Repubicanism, as am sure that he who would
now recommend that system to the German nation
for adoption. would not have more chance Of max

of the Republican party of 1S4s are to be looked
for among the three parties enumerated, and the
feeling is absolutely predominant that the first ne
cessity to the German nation is an organization of
the whole German system powerful enough to pre-
clude any danger from Outside.
