The brilliant success Of the Prussians has be-
come the general topic Of conversation the rapid
movement of their armies, the plans Of their gen
erals, and especially the results obtained inspire
some with fear and others with JOY. We are
obliged to say that only few view with distrust
the preponderating position assumed by Prussia
in Germany; and the great mass differs from nose
who think that powerful Prussia, supported by
mighty army and feet, must be dangerous neigh

those who see in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of Prussia
danger for Russia: .but, We again repeat, that
opinion belongs only to few. while the greater
number Of the people frankly sympathize with the
late victories OF our neighbor. The torrents OF
blood have not flown uselessly. The union of
Germany must be effected, and the efforts of the
German people crowned with success. Its history
shows ne how invinebiy it tends to its unihcaton,
and we firmly believe that there would be folly IN
attempting % srFest an event which belongs to
the natural order of things. Prussia Will certainly
become most powerful; but we need not fear her.
