I WERE it not for the absorbing inter
est in our own affairs, we could not but
follow with earnest attention the course
of the great contest between King and
people, between despotism and consti-
tutional liberty, III Prussia. Such a
contest anywhere must always have a
profound interest for free people like
us. But when we remember how COM
handing place the writers and think
ers of that powerful kingdom have held
for the last half century among the
great scholars of the world, how many
of her sons are now upon our soil, and
how important is her political position
in Europe, we cannot afford to shut our
eyes to the struggle which is going on
between an illiberal, narrow-minded
sovereign and patient and 1ong-suffer-
ing people. We have from time to
time described the steps by which the
monarch was striving to break down
all the barriers which the constitution
of the land has set up for the defence of
tho subjects, and the methods by
which the latter have striven TO de-
fend themselves. The King, or per-
haps we should rather say, his
Prime Minister, Bismarck, has endeav-
ored to substitute a standing army for
the militia. He has attempted to Off
Ger the army almost wholly with the
sons of the mobiles, to mako it sympa-
thize with the court party. When the
lower House refused to vote the militia
ry supplies, the King dissolved the
body. Several times has he tried this
experiment, but always to find new
House elected, with larger Liberal
majority than its predecessor had. Be
ing thus continually thwarted, his pa
thence has become exhausted, and he
has resorted to the extreme measure of
suppressing the House for the remain
der of its session. He turns them out
of doors, and slams the door behind
them. How long the people will bear
this kind of treatment we cannot say.
They have thus far contented them
selves with clecting to the Chamber
men who will not surrender to the
wishes of Bismarck. But it would
seem that if he persists in his policy,
sooner or later scenes of violence must
ensue. He is man of great ability
andfof powerful will. He is terrible
foe, forthe people to encounter.

Hon. N. p. BANKS concluded his re-
cent speech as follows: "Whatever of
power we have in the field, orwhatever
of power we have in the workshops,
the true power ofthe American Govern
nfent and of the American people is in
ideas, and the lesson which the old
world has to learn, and the importance
of which we ourselves are to learn to
appreciate, is that, in the economy OF
this world, ideas are better than blood,
and brains better than blows.''

Artists TO steinway & sons.

NEW YORK, December, 1854.
The Pianofortes, Grand, Square and Up
right manufactured by Messrs. SteinWay q
Sons, have established for themselves so
worldwide a reputation that it Is hardly pos
stble for us TO add anything TO their iust fame.
Having thoroughly tested and tried these
instruments personally for years, both in pub
lie and private, It becomes our pleasant duty
to express our candid opinion regarding their
unqueStioned superiority over any other
Piano known to us.
Among the chief points Of their uniform
excellence are: GTentef possfbSe depth, rich
