Among the conflicting interests which con.

variety OF principles and precedents which
arc set forth in defence Of the opposing po:
sitions, no ono is more conspicuous thsn the
principle of nationality; or the right that
each people has to union in one natton with
a separate aud Independent existence. Ac-
cordinE TO this principle Italy belongs to the
Italians. Poland to tile Poles, and every Ger

In feeling md action with the liberal or
democratic party Of Europe, is more likely
to control the latter, than to be controlled
by It. It may perhaps be stated that to-day
the stYongeet aspiration Of the people Of Eu:
ropc, is not for free democratic institutions,
but for those institutions with nationality;
and Of the two aspirations, the latter is the
most actiTe and dominant. This is 6lowa

party has 6cen induced under the cry that

States are to be changed and reconstructed on
the basis of nationality, then France must
necessarily extend her borders. The popula-

Southern Rhine, occupying several Prussian

The French language and are French people:

Of which France Is the feed'bed and Tor the

governments. There are two Sapoleonic
ideas, either OF which must sooner Or later
lead to war, and there will be no permanent
peace in Europe until these ideas have trl~

One Is the idea that true sovereignty is the
Sovereignty Of the people, and the other is
that of separate and independent nationality.
