and by their correct and admirable conduct in the
Belgian question. Really the French liberals have
much better protected the small neighboring coun-
try against any annexation appetite OF France than
the prussian Fortscnritt party did their own brethren
in ScneswlQ HOlstein, Frankfort Nassau, Hesse and
Hanover against the rapacious deeds OF Bismarck.
