From the Tribune
Austria and Hungary, seventeen years ago.
were the arena of bloody civil feud which
was settled by the Intervention of Russia on
side OF Austria. The Hungarians were crusbed
some of their leaders hanged, others eXlled and
Austrian absolutism established by the might
CT the Muscovite sword. Yet the Emperor has
found the passive resistance of Hungary to her
complete absorption into Austria lnvincble.
He could not overcome 1T; he could not make
his Parliament work in spite of it; for. since
Hungary refused TO send deputies, it was plain
10 all that, though there were German and
Sclayic elements, there was no Parliament of
the whole Empire. After eXhausting every de-
vice to avoid doing so, Franz Joseph virtually
gives IL up, and agrees to deal with Hungary on
the basis of her historic Constitution, arbitra-
Illy abolished in 1S49.
In the Hungarian lower House, recently,
Elyos, one oil Deak's prominent supporters,
said:-
"The best guarantee for the welfare and the rights
of al lies in the liberty for all" He added 1--we
want not an exclusive freedom, and see very well
that security OF rights ls also security for our
rights" And he asked the Germanic. .Austrlans -
liberty and justice by us at the same time prepar-
ing the way tor your" And he contlpued:-iIn q
country connected together Austria IS, beng
composed OF many peoples, no one people State
can be uDjustly dealt with, without Gt last invov-
ing ALL"
We commend these weighty words to all who,
from whatever quarter, resist a settlement of our
remaining differences on the basis of universal
amnesty and impartial suffrage.

SUGGESTIVE.

There are some half dozen papers, says
the Chattanooga Union, printed and pub
lished at as many different points i'll the
South, whose course upon all matters of pub
lie interest is characterized by great bitter
ness, and, il seems to US, a remarkable want
of sound policy and good sense. These pa
pers are. constantly being quoted by extreme
papers in other portions of thu country, and
referred TO as true opponents of the feelings
and sentiments of the people where they are
published; a conclusion which may be ar
rived at without doing great violence to the
rules Of reason, as it is not hard TO believe
that a Journal is, to some extent at least, re-
Hecting the public sentiment by which it is
surrounded. 1t is in this way that the ex-
IRENE prints-we may say the Radical pa.
pers Of the South-are being made to do
good deal of harm to the cause and the peo-
pie for whom they are presumed to be labor
ing. 1t does seem to us that a different
course-one less bitter and less defiant
more policy and less zeal-would be pro-
ductive of much better results, and enable
us much sooner to attain the end we trust
all have in view-the early restoration of
political equality and rights under the Con-
stitution, and full share in the blessings of
social and civil order.
We write this paragraph without reference
to any one particular journal, and only be-
cause we know much harm is being done,
and much embarrassment created in this
way, indicated, without any corresponding
amount of good. 1t is only putting weapons
in the hands of madmen with which to in
iura M
