~ From the workings of two follics-Abso-
lutism and Abolitionsm--there are two great
clouds gathering in Europe and America. Aus
tria, by her dogged policy of absolutism. in in
sisting upon her military dominion ovef Venice,
and her denial of all political rights TO Hungary,
is bringing on another war in Europe, more ter
rible than that which was suspended by the peace
of Villa Franco. The Republican party, who
have got the nominal power of the Federal Gov
ernment of the once United States, are bringing
about the dissolution Of the Union and civil wal
of States, simply because they will not concede
TO the South their constitutional rights in the
