The Brazilian revolution was ac-
complished in one day, without blood
An Empire was changed into a Re
public. The Emperor, who, for many
years has been distinguished for his
learning, talents, liberality and mi
form justice, has, in bis old age,
while paralyzed, been dePosed and
sent TO Lisbon, whence has distiD-
guished family came. He is the real
author Of the emancipation of slavery
in Brazil, and that, perhaps, is one of
the principal causes Of the coup de
tat. Many think the revolution con
fined to the army and that the people
will restore the Emperor. We doubt
it. Revolutions rarely 60 backwards,
Brasilians, many years ago, forced q
constitutional monarchy instead o.
absolutism. Every step taken since
has been in favor Of political liberty
They ere capable Of selfgovernment
However worthy the venerable Don
Pedro was, We can but congratulate,
