people look with profound indifference upon
any European controversy regarding
dynasty interests merely, and are concerned
in the present struggle between Germany
and France, only SO far as the same III
wolves the great principles of liberty, and
while we remember that the great up
rising of lS4S failed of success,
merely for want of Germanic union that
during our recent national struggle the peO-
pie OF Germany supported our cause with
their sympathy and material aid, while the
armies Of France were endeavOring to sub
vert republic on this continent and estal,-
lish in its stead an imperial throne-we can
not refrain from declaring our sympathy
with the present heroic efforts eff Germany

national unity.
