The present disturbed state of Europe
tnust occasion a ganrtral feeling of how
curity, not only in those countries that
are engaged in the Franco Prussian
war, but in those also which are liable
to be involved at any moment in its
calamities, or which m ust be, more or
less, affected by its consequences. We
may, therefore, congratulate ourselves
on our remoteness from the scone of
conflict, and should seek to profit, as far
as we honorably can, by the jealousies
and rivalries that are convulsing the
European continent.
All that we have to do in the present
state of affairs, is to avoid all foreign
complications and .erdhingling alliance ;'
to extend a cordial welcome and greet
with friendly legislation all emigrants
who inns. seek on our shores a refuge
from turmoil and oppression ; to exer
cise a ,pirit of moderation and fratern•-
