time when the political education Of the people
shall have made sufficient progress to establish the
principle Of popular sovereignty under republican
form of government. Their organization must Of ne'
cessi.y, be imperfect Ions ~ existing iessia-

otioe of Slavery and the restoration of the Union
From the restoration of the great American Repub.
lie the Republicans of Europe expect the most power
full and lasting influence upon the progress of liberal
principles in Europe. They are Of opinion that a
closer union between believers in popular sovereignty
and republican institutions could not fail greatly to
promote tho advance Of tbe common cause in tho Old
World. They are sufficiently acquainted with the
fundamental principle of our foreign policy not to
peo any armed nererence but they satisfied that
the peaceabe alliance Of American and European Re-
publicans for the elucidaon and diffusion Of repub
can principles may exercise powerful and-n tho
course Of time-an irresistible influence upon tho po
