ascend the Spanish throne; that one
of the Hohenzollern princes reside
permanently in Paris as q hostage, or
that a heavy amount of money be de-
posted In France to be forfeited If
the pledge is broken; or that the
Rhenish provinces be given over to
French keeping. and held therein un-
til the death of the last prince Oh Ho-
h%enzollern." This is just ponaerous
and clumsy enough to betray a leu
tonic origin. We suppose, however,
that any snch assertion is a good
enough Morgan till after election.
Nevertheless, il is contradictory of
the previous assertion of the Prussian
press and its radical allies in this
country, which was to the effect that
Napoleon declared war solely because

subjects they were. One of these du-
ties obviously is to treat the public
sentiment OF the United States with
respect, and tie AZ stain from

X < When Ameri-
cans are sought thus to be hectored
and dTagooned into ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
it is natural that the Germans. who
indulge in the effort should be re-
minded that they have voluntarily
made themselves Americans. The
traditions. the tastes, the interests,
and the religion of Americans are
not precisely the things which for
eigners claiming American citizenship
can with advantage undertake t..
ridicule and to insult.
1t IS true that all this is the ebu lii
ton OF only a particular sector. of
u German population, and that
neither the most respectable in itself,
nor. as perhaps the event will show,
the most practical even in it's German
sympatbies. But it is a thing to be
diseountenanced, and as such we
recommend it to the judi Sious atten-
ton of the calmer and more intelli-
gent classes of the population which
It misrepresents.
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the Radical wing of the
press everywhere to boot Napoleon and
side with Prussia : and one of prom
iuence is even so 1eliciOUsly frank
Germans should subscribe Literally to
its support by ali means-as to remark
that Napoleon has been for more
than eighteen years the curse of Flu
rope. 1t would be well for those who
boot to remember that events in Eu-
rope have proved three things: First,
that German unity means PrussiaD
agrandizsment; second, that Prussian
Imperialism is more dangerous to the
constitutional cause than Napoleonic
idea, because more rigid; and, thirdly
that the civilization OF France Is, in
point of thought, the freest and most
progressive on the continent. This
hooting at Napoleon by the Radicals
savers strongly of toadyism to the
German element, or of utter historic

Among the most ardent of our
Radical opponents of long. range SYM
patty with Prussia 10 Senator Carl
Schurz. He is ~prancing around the
country, under a pressure of about
half a ton to the square inch, and
projecting hot shot at the Celtic ty-
rant at a rate that throws the needle
gun into utter eclipse. It looks very
much like q waste of ammunition,
though; for p~rodigious bore as SchuTz
unquestionably is, the range is alto
gether too long for execution. Dur

question at Herr SchuTz and other
explosive sympathizers ! the Franco
