Europe In . State Of lacipisnt Revs-
luti0a.


The news from Europe shows no great change
In the position OF affairs. but makes apparent tho
faot that the different nations are ell more or less
moved by strong revolutionary spirit. When
this feeling shall have broken out in ell it's
force the present ruling Powers will have to
succumb TO the people, and give way to their
advancement and progress The Poles continue
their struggle against the Czar. spite Of the enor-
nous disparity Of force existing between tho in
surgents and tho powerful sovereign who claims
their allegiance. In Hungary the people are
ready for revolutionary movement. So much
does this appear that the Austrian government
has seen tho necessity Of establishing at once re-
pressve measures. and portions Of the country
arc under martial law. In Italy the people
evince moro decidedly than ever their determl-
nation TO FREQ Venetia and conquer Rome
King Victor Emanuel arms large force. He is
aware that ere long he will have to submit to
the:will Of his subjects in this respect, and for
ward with oil his power their revolutionary
tendencies.


France has for years been the hotbed Of revo-
lutions. Napoleon attained power through the
intrigues aud influence Of the revolutionary
party. Since his accession to the throne he
has abandoned ca much as he dared
tho dangerous doctrines which elevated
him; but his people have not. This
they prove in their elections, wherein the
opposition candidates triumph over those
- strongly supported by the government
This course on the part Of the people proves
that the great revolutionary party is more
powerful even than Napoleon, and that sooner
or later he will have to msve with it or be
crushed, as will all those who oppose it At
any moment this outbreak Of those who yearn
for progress and civilization, for the downfall
Of dynasties and the rule Of tho people, may
take place, and then Napoleon will, more than
likely. 6nd himself forced to assume the cham
pionship Of the masses, and renew the struggle
Of the great Emperor against the ruling Powers
OF Europe. with this difference, that from the
force Of circumstances he will be acting for
the revolutionary party, and not with the sole
view OF personal aggrandizement


England has for years given way to the revo-
lutionary party, and played at conceding to
the wishes of the people on all important occa-
sious But this deceit is fast being discovered
by stolid John Bull, and the day is not far dis
tant when the British government will have to
espouse the cause Of revolution honestly and
heartily. Even now the people are in direct
contradiction with the course pursued by their
rulers. We mean on this Danish war; The
people will force the present government to
aid the Danes, or they will have change
Of Ministers. and thus obtain the accom-
plishment Of their desires. This would
be triumph OF the revolutionary party.
That Englands government was prevented
from too overt sanction Of the Davis rebel
lion-from actual recognition of the traitor
was undoubtedly triumph Of the revolutiona-
ry party. The people were averse 10 such
policy, and the government and aristocracy
were forced to respect this feeling, because
they fear the revolutionsts.


In Germany chronic state OF revelation
exists, and this Danish war will more than like
ly give life and strength to this feeling. The
people throughout the Confederation are averse
to their rulers wish 10 consolidate their power,
and they are being taught by this war what
that power is. We shall not be surprised to
see as result total reconstruction Of Ger
many; and all this will be the result of that re-
volutonary movement which now in its Incl
pient state pervades Europe.
