THE ADDRESS.
We accept the present war between Prussia and
France as the Old struggle between Germanism and
the Latin races-between the peaceful democratic
development and growth Of German civilization
and the dying CctoRomanism which attempts 10
fight its last battle for existence.
The American citizen can never turn his sympa-
thes TO the Caesar of Romanism, who during our
civil war laid In wait, bandt-llkc, to stap this
Union in the hour Of Its greatest danger. We see IN

sellalse' prostitution or tho memories of the
French revolution. We represent here the progress
sive principles inherent to the German races We
