of Frankfort. We know that only part of the
population oil those States shares with us the
conviction of this necessity. We respect and
honor those feelings of fidelity and allegiance
which bind the inhabitants of those states to
their former prncely houses, and to their inde-
pendent political institutions. But we trust that
actual participation In the progressive develop
ment of the national Union, along with a
lenient treatment TO all justiiable pecularitIes
viii facilitate the unavoida0 transition into
the new and greater community. We request
the two Houses of Parliament TO give the
requisite constitutional assent to the intended
union and place before them the necessary bill
in this respect.

Speeches by Count Bismark.
Count Bismark made the following statements
in the Prussian Chamber of Deputies on the 18th
OF August
ries, the North Germans will have the cnarge of
regulating the national relations of the South
ern Confederation. To carry out this task we
shall have to examine whether the want OF this
organization is felt more strongly by the popu-
latlons of South Germany than by their Govern
ments, as it now happens that we see Prussian
soldiers who pass beyond the line of demarca-
ton exposed to the popular animosity. 1t s for
us next to impart solid foundations to the new
union. 1 believe that IN trying To extend them
too far their solidity would be diminished We
could not, Tor instance, submit a State like
Bavaria TO such conditions as we intend now TO
impose upon certain States of the North. Let
us try first to establish a powerful Prussia, a
powerful crown domain OF the directing State.
The tie OF close union by which we mean to
form Northern Germany will not be 50 strong
as an incorporation.
Nevertheless there are only two or three
modes to prevent allied races constrained by
their Governments turning their arms against
no Of ic incarceration n nj pO
plete fusion OF the populations with Prussia,
and in especial OF the hostile functionaries who
will remain attached to the old Governments.
The Government does not consider that it ought
to surmount these difficulties at single leap,
as is the custom of the Latin peoples, but 1t
viii proceed in the German manner by humor-
ing the institutions suited TO these populations,
ana accustoming them gradually to their new
situation. The second course is the partition of
the rights of sovereignty, that is, the esta.
blshment of a military sovereign ana q civil
sovereign. Compelled by circumstances, we
must endeavor TO apply this system in SaXony.
l had at one time marked preference Tor this
method, but after the Impressions | have re-
ceived from the reorganization of Schles wig
Holstein, / am afraid such a system would be-
come a source OF collisions which might lead to
GOODNESS OF the annexed countries towards
their new masters.
vengeance does not appertain to
us. We must do what is a necessity for the
Prussian State, and must consequently not allow
our. selves to be guided by any dynastic sympathy.
People have already learnt to appreciate us even
IN those very countries. Hanoverians have
already said to me, Preserve our dynasty for us;
but if that is not possible, then try at least
not to parcel out our territory, but take 1T
entire As regards Our allies, they have only
been few in numbers or weak; put duty no less
than prudence, ordains that we should keep our
word, even to the smallest among them. The
less hesitation Prussia shows in sweeping her
enemies from the map, the more is she bound
strictly to keep her word with her friends 1t Is
precisely in Southern Germany that faith in our
political loyalty will have great weight. AS for
the Constitution of the empire OF lS49, IL will
| only be one OF the forms through which the
| problem / have just pointed out will find its
| solution. | admit that IN theory that constitu-
| tion proceeds with more strictness and con-
| sistency than our scheme, the union, because
it makes, so to speak, of the different sovereigns
| the subjects, the vassals of the future Emperor
| of Germany, but these sovereigns will be III ore
disposed to concede rights to an ally, tunc-
| tionary of the union, than to an emperor and
suzerain. l shall have to enter more fully

the bills shall have. to lay before you to-day,
