France and Spain have some distance
to travel before they attain the object Of
all who love freedom. Spain, with her
invading monarch, her subdivision Of re-
publicans, her despotic and dishonest rule
in Cuba, has scarcely begun her journey.
France is further advanced, but has yet
much to learn. Germany has more ele-
ments of republican freedom than any
nation of modern Europe. Proud and
grateful towards the author of her great
military reunion, Germany has crushed
out the State rights of the principaities
end 'Gerolsteins. They have been all
nationalized under an Emperor. We
should not at any time be surprised
when the pride and gratitude Of foreign
conquest and recovery of territory shall
have been appeased-to see another
phase of German history. We should
not be astonished to see the mother
of SO many republican States else
where, whose citizens make such ex-
cellent freemen here, proclaim an elective
nationality. An executive for "a fixed |
term, representative House and Senate, |

have much to discard, and great deal to
