Napolesn, following the French Revolu'

Let us look . little into the future. The
success OF our war and Of the principles or
which it is based (Which have made It's sue

world which the President solemnly in.

Velopment Of the true democratic idea as il
has never seen.
Self. preservation will tend to combine
governments against us. We must not fiat-
tor ourselves that if We get into var we
shall have only one enemy on our hands.
In the great game Of chess, peace land We
shall have no difficulty in preservingit II
play for. England has preserved peace in
these later years to the loss of her dignity
let us preserve it to the saving OF ours.
We are bound TO show the world that
bullying aud threatening belonged to the
old order ofthings-tothe" plantation man-
ners" Of spurious Democracy-but that
the Government Of the people means peace
people throughout the world.
The object Of this paper is TO prove that
the true method Of making war on Great
Britain Is for us to keep ct peace with her;
that the punishment of our enemies in
Great Britain 10 not TO be found in war; that
the safety and permanent power Of our en-
.emies in England would be secured by war;

England 10 now divided against herself.
The laboring classes have made our war
their own, because they recognize in it the
var Of labor against oppression. The pc.
alton taken against our cause by the mil
nofity which holds power and place in
England, has created . break between
themselves and the majority. who are seek
or existed before. Let No but succeed in
restoring the Union and establishing Free
dom throughout our land, and the demo-
cratic idea on which our Republic 10 foun.
ded stands justified to the world. Then
will the people, the Democrats of England,
claim their rights, and then our enemies,
the aristocracy Of England, will not dare
deny them. But declare war with England,
allow the aristocracy to rally the people to
the defense Of their country. and the cause
of freedom and reform will be put back q
generation. The power Of the aristOcracy
viii be re-established, and Q century will
be lost to the progress of the democratic
idea In Europe.
The Nemesis will over.ake the guilty.

button in the following. facts, which prove
that the true punishment of England is
