Germany since the WarorIsee.
rFrOm la Revue des Deux Mondss.J

We have seen the circumstances which,
from 1863 to 1856, prepared the triumph of
the movement towards Unity. Insur-
mountable obstacles seemed to render it
impossible, or at least very distant, and
they have all vanished away. Fdta Uiana
inrenient, said Mr. Won Radowitz, in one
of those eloquent speeches in which he
attempted to sketch plan of the means
by which Germany might be reconstructed.
He would have been much astonished
could he have known the means employed
by his successor to arrive at the end that
he wanted TO reach But would the result
have been different? Sagacious observers
believe that Austria was doomed to sue
cumb under the fatal understanding that
was to take place between Italy and Ger
many on account of their common aspira-
tions towards Unity. If it had not been
for the scruples expressed by the Prince
Regent, the events that took place in 1866
would have occurred in 1859. 1t is not,
therefore, to Fate, alone, that we must at
tribute what happened in Germany in
1866. 1t was impossible that the Germany
Of Luther, Kant, Lessing, and Goethe
should accept the lead of that Empire
which bad, under the crushing authority of
Metternich, stihed, for more than half a
century, all liberal attempts in Europe,
sacrificing everything to ultramontaDe
pressure. 1t is remarkable to observe how
irresistibly the institutions of the old re-
gime are falling everywhere, and how ev-
cry exertion made to support them fails.
He who follows the course Of river is
certain to arrive at the seashore, despite
any delay caused by his inexperience, but
he who tries to go against the current, if
he gets tired, or does not know how to
steer straight, is pushed back or wrecked
upon the rocks.
Let us condense IN few words the two
preceding chapters. The movement of
Germany towards Unity has its source in
the remembrances of the old German En-
pire, and in the common ties of language
manners, and aspirations. 1t has been
prepared by literature, poetry, and the
Universities. That movement has been
supported by Italy on the battle field; fa-
vored by France in the mystery of diplo
matte combinations tolerated by Russia,
and welcomed by England after its success,
and has at last caused the establishment
of the North German Confederation, the
constitution and probable future of which
will be reviewed in the next chapter.

III

The North German Confederation was
established by virtue of the treaty of
Prague. In February, 1867, an assembly,
named by direct universal suffrage, met in
Berlin, and framed a Constitution, the
principles of which are very important to
be known. 1t was finished with wonderful
rapidity, for Mr.. Won Bismarck had said,
in his peculiar, 6gurative style: Germany
must be on horseback on the 18th of Au-
gust" She was in the desired position
much before that date, although the Art
icles were all voted only in the beginning
of April.
The German States north of the Main
now form federation whose bond is as
strong as that of the Cantons of Switzer-
land, or of the United States of America.
As in those Federal Republics, each coun-
try preserves and modifes at its will its
political and civil laws, and is not subject
to the central authority except in matters
of common interest, justifying one supreme
control, namely, the army, customs and in
direct imposts, coinage, banks, weights and
measures, patents and rights of authorship,
commerce, the navy. mails, railways and
telegraphs, penal and commercial rights,
and sanitary measures. Every citizen of
the Confederation enjoys in each and every
State where he goes, all the rights of the
natives of such State. As in the United
States, the legislative power is exercised
by two Assemblies-the Federal Council,
(BundeSyath), representing the different
States, and the Parliament, (ReichSrdth),
representing the whole country. The vote
of these two branches is sufficient for the
creation of a law. The members of the
Federal Council, 43 in number, are ap-
pointed by the Governments of the DIFF
ferent States. Prussia is far from being
represented in proportion to her popula-
ton, for she has but II for 100000 of
inhabitants, while the other States, with
their population of 100000, dispose of an
overwhelming majority of 26 votes.
The conditions of election of members
to the Lower Assembly are well calculated
to frighten all but the most intrepid DEM
ocrat: they are chosen by direct universal
suffrage, and by secret ballot. The Par
lament enjoys the rights which the tradi-
ton of free countries seems to warrant as
necessary to the exercise of its functions.
1t votes the budget annually; can not be
adjourned for more than thirty days, nor
dissolved without new elections taking
place within two months, and every three
years it is integrally renovated. No OBJ
stacle exists to its liberty of action. 1t
possesses an unlimited right of address,
Interpolation, amendment, and even initi-
ative, in regard to legislation. And, lastly,
as an essential condition of truly Consti-

lhc Democracy Of this county present
TO the Goth Judicial Disti't composed
Of the counties Of Clcarfcld, Centre,
and Clinton the name Of lion. G r.
Rarrett for President Judge. The
resignation Of Judge Linn makesit
necessary for the electors Of the Dis
trict to choose a successor at the Oc-
iobcr election. There are now three
candidates in the deld-Judgc Barrett,
of this county, John ii. Orvis, Esq,
of Centre, aud Charles A. Mayer, Esq,
of Clinton. We have no objections
to urge against either Mr. Orvis or
Mr.. Mayer, except that their election
would be an experiment while Judge
Barrett after twelve years experience,
has proved to be one of the best Judg-
es in the State. His executive and
legal ability has underwent the sever
est test at times, and always success
fully. The other candidates may pos
sess qualities equally as good; but
they are untried--"a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush" The Belle
fonte IVdtchmdn last week, presented
the claims of Mr.. Orvis, in an elabo.
rate manner, much of which we con
ccde from personal knowledge; but
the people of this county have beer
served so long by Bcllefonte Judges
that they feel like trying somebody
else. We hope our Beleionte friends
will net insist on a perpetual lease ol
the Judgcship. We will guarantee
that if the voters Of the District hon
or Judge Barrett with an election
he will give them more than tou
days for ,ceek's 'oork, which has beer
a standing rule for neary half a cen
tury with Belleionte Judges, so far as
this county is concerned. Two days o
the six are spent on the road between
Bellefonte and Clearfeld, which be
longed to the tax payers of the eoun
ty. Elect the candidate presented b.
Clearfeld, and we will guarantee si'
days Court in every county for
weeks work, should there be business
to transact. We are satisfied tha
the election of Judge Barrett, woul,
save the tax payers Of this distric
annually thousands of dollars. o
Mr.. Mayer we know nothing person
ally. He has reputation of being
leading number of the Lock Havel
har, and is said to possess the othei
necessary qualities to make a goo
Judge.
