Germany Is In danger Of being
disgraeed in the eyes Of the world
BY demanding that which she has
no right to claim.
From the n. Y. Tribune, Rad cal.
Let republican France receive
The generous Sgmpathy iagOked By
The disasters she has inherited and
the perils by which she is environ
ed. Hitherto, the Germans, so
wantonly assailed, have had our
best wishes; now, we fervently
trust that their leaders heart may
be inclined to peace on terms
which France can accept without
dishonor, and without being i'm.
patient to etTace its memory in an
other war unto death.
From the Chicago Tribune. Radical
Prussia has thus far had the
moral support Of the world, be
cause she has deserved it. But.
If advantage is to be taken of the
helpless situation Of the French
republic, which has itself com
mitted no offence against Prussia,
to humiliate or Cypress it, the Ia.
bles will be turned, and the sym.
pathies of enlightened nations will
henceforth 0e with the French. y

ism dead, and a government of the
people established, will be regard

out the civilized world and, in
Germany itself, a pc werful reac,

From the New York Times, Radical.
The public opinion which con.
demned as a crime the readiness
OF Napoleon to make the nomina.
ton Of a HOhenzollern to the
throne Of Spain a cause Of war,
would revolt against the craft OF
Kings intent upon sitting the

The Minister Bismarck will
comprehend, though his sovereign
may not, that a war directed
against a Bonaparte cannot be
converted into a war against
a republic, without throwing
away the moral strength OF
the German cause, and repel.

peoples everywhere have watched
its progress.
From the n. Y, Commercial Advertiser
HpIical.
While the sympathies of a large
majority of the American people
have unquestionably been with
Prussia in this war, they wW cease
The Gerry moment That Prussia dis.

public and people.
From tue y. Y. Sun, Raj ca
The sudden change made in her
form of government by France
since the surrender of Sedan,
greatly changes the direction of
public sympathy. So long as the
war was waged on the part of
Germany to defend herself against
an unprovoked, unjusti6able, and
insane attack made by LOUIS Ma.

many. But SOW that Napoleon is
utterly destroyed, while France, no
longer aiming at foreign conquest
contends simply for her own ma.
tional existence, and now that she
has proclaimed herself a republic
and put her destinies in the hands
of new men, whose devotion to
republican principles cannot be
questioned, the whole situation is
transformed. Our sympathies are
again with France, and our pray
ers and good wishes are all for her
complete success. Her chastise.
ment is more than equal to the
fault she has committed, and we
desire ardently that she may be
able to maintain herself and to
beat back the enormous armies
that are marching upon her capital.
