The Express. — 1868-08-05 (London, England)

OUILD. The tollbw• me of the speeches delivered the bnoqn In the Fest-halle, on the Ist of !gust :  Mr. Faeai, of Stuttgart, in proposing a toast to the Fatherland, said : - Germans ! whoever like me has for the first time trodden this German Austrian land must be possessed by this on, sentiment —and is this noble land not to I. German ? This land which bean throughout the impress Of German labour and German culture is not to be German ? My friends, if we had it not we must have it. (Bravo.) And now, after having it for a thousand years, to tear it sway, as some people design, is neither patriotic, nor German, nor logical. It is self-murder. (Applause.) My friends, it is not owing to those who promoted the events of 1866 that we are enabled to celebrate this festival with joy and pleasure, or indeed that this city of Vienna exists at all. It was intended to have a garrison from the Abruzzi here. But you have now a garrison with which I hope you am more satisfied. Men who have German names, but who are not worthy to bear them, have adjured strangers to come and strike this German Austria in the heart. I think we have touched its heart—not " with blood and steel," bat with brotherly love and sincere affection, which shall endure for ever. (Loud applause.) It is impossible In this place not to remember Metternich and his policy. Where is Metternich now ? But, my friends, there is a statesman who has undertaken to sot bounds to the German nation—to prescribe how far its heart shall extend, how far brother shall stand by the side of brother. That man exists, and his pokey weighs upon us with its iron power. But as Austrians and Germans have triumphed over the policy of Metternich, Germans and Austrians by uniting from the Baltic to the Adriatic will triumph over the policy which has brought ruin to (Jemmy, to the people, and to freedom at once. (Much applause.) My friends, let us give a thundering " hoch" to Fatherland which shall be born again to freedom, to unity, and to greatness. Professor Wumauza, of Musbruck, said—According to the tenor of the treaty of Prague Austria no longer belongs to G elmany. The rifles of Bavaria, Swabia, Franconia, the Rhineland, Westphalia, and Saxony stand, according to the letter—verily the letter that kills—no longer on German soil here. Has it then come to this, that the German nation has own to a non-German soil to celebrate a national festival? Has the:German nation sent its children abroad to the foreigner in order to see its children of every stock in unity with one another? (Applause.) No, it cannot be so. There is not one of you who does not believe, feel, and know that he treads the sacred soil of the German motherland, that here he breathes German air, and drinks from German fountains. (Applause.) Let me tell you on behalf of the great majority of my Tyrolese brethren that we place our fortunes with confidence under the tutelary protection of the fundamental laws of the empire. (Great applause.) And numerous as we are here, gentlemen, we are but a mall deputation from the mass who have remained at home, and who sympathise with us. The cock crow of a new era has been heard in our valleys; the dawn of a new Aurora already gilds the summits of our mountains, from which it will illumine the verdant plains that sweep from their base. (Applause.) I drink a toast to the constitution of Austria, the offspring of German thought. (Long and enthusiastic applause.)  (
