tm MurOp<.
A singular spectaclDles been presented to
the world since this foul Subollion arst tainted
our glorious republic ~ governments, the
sristocrecies and the press Of Europe have Wed
Ia their malignant efforts against che welfare Of
tho American nation. Openly and unblush-
ingly havc they encouraged tho diabolicai
schemes Of the arch traitors who have con-
trolled the ssceds& States. Bitter comments,
vile misrepresentation, scandalous lies, have
becn circulated throughout the whole Of the
European continent, with tho purpose Of i'm
pressing upon the people, the masses, the gov
erned, that republics were unfeasible; that the
people could not govern themselves; that the
many were to be guided by the few; that free
dom was but name.
But few mOaths ago, when as yet we could
proudly claim that honored, that glorious, that
noble title, .The United States" We were
feared, unwillingly admired, cringingly oourted,
by those same governments, aristocracies and
press which now evincs their enmity with such
virulence, and bespatter US with suoh abuse.
The yearnings Of the nations Of Europe after
our free, our enlightened, our civilized form Of
government were but lily repressed by their
frightened despots, who, with dismay, saw
their downtrodden, unhappy subjects focking
to our hospitable shores BY thousands, by
millions The governments Of Europe stood
aghast with wonder and fear ct our gigantic
strides towards power and influence. and, a.
they foresaw the arrival Of the moment when
the force of our example was to be tho signal
for the downfall Of their dsspotisms, the iron
,of hatred entered deeply into their hearts;
schemes and base intrigues were brought to
bear against that mighty tree oflibsrty which we
we're SO proudly rearing heavenwards. In our
fond imaginings its branches were to spread far
and wide. casting over all the oppressed and
tyranny ridden Of the earth genial shade, that
of an untrammelled, manly independence.
But a. Satan scowled darkly and enviously
upon the happy denisens Of Eden, SO the despots
Of the Old World hated and abhorred the great
American republic.
Accused with an institution bequeathed to
us by England, We had tainted spot upon u.s.
Around this grouped our enemies, and, working
upon the bad passions of evil men, they pro-
duced our present vile rebellion. There was
one, just one, hole in our glorious armor, and
the enemy found it.
Is this an argument against Cur institutions,
like conclusion in that case where an angel fell
from envy and pride. And yet, far and wide,
throughout Europe you see it written, you hear
it asserted, The American republic is a
failure" But if so why dwell so much upon
the fact Why do miserable scribblers, sent
here to spy out tho errors or weaknesses Of the
few and comment thereon, to the exclusion of
stantly repeat the refrain-"a failure, failure?"
Because they fear the reverse because they
know that the ultimate success of the govern
ment of this great republic is as certainly the
downfall Of the rotten despotisms Of Europe.
The people of England, Of France, of Russia
aud Of Austria, are not convinced of the utter
failure Of democratic institutions. They feel
that too great stress is laid upon the asser-
tons to that effect made by their salaried, their
manacled journals, and when our hour of trl-
umph shall arrive tho nations Of Europe will, !,
a. one man, rise in their might, and despotsm
will have seen Its day. But few weeks ago
this was foreshadowsd in England, when the
people voted that "the South had caused their
present suffering and want" Those who called
forth this opinion had hoped for one the rc.
verse of the blunt conclusion come to by the
people; but they were deceived, and no doubt
the lesson struck home. They found that,
spite Of their misrepresentation, the masses
judged our present struggle correctly; and so
have the masses throughout Europe, as time
will surely prove. We can well conceive that
European governments desire the dismember-
ment Of this republic. The very word republic
is a reproach to them, and we do not doubt
that until we have crushed Davis and his
followers, the one man government-the mill
tary despotism Of the South-will continue to
obtain favor in the eyes Of European govern
ments, aristocracies and press.
But our day Of triumph is near at hand. We
will, wo p,ust, we shall conquer a peace, a
glorious peace, a reconstruction Of the Union
as our fathers left il to US; and when our great
efforts are ended we shall look for the be-
ginning Of that uprising, that great popular
demonstration, which European governments
now dread. This must be the inevitable result
of the American rebellion; and when, as now,
the governments, the aristocracies and the
press Of Europe fan the rebellious flames con-
suming SO much of life, Of treasure and OF
happiness on our side of the Atlantic, they are
but maguifying and rendering more intense the
heat of their own funeral pile.
BUCHANAN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
The movement to make cx-President Buchanan
vania IL most ridiculous and imprudent. The
imbecility of Buchanan involved us in this war.
Had he but possessed a. much courage in his
whole body as General Jackson had in one
hair of his head, he would have taken the ad-
vice Of General Scott, and served the South
