of fidelity to tho Nation, to tho Con

was a Republican; and, toeing no

lic on tho oilier sido of tho Atlantic,
ovor which Gcnerul Washington was
presiding with so much eclat and dig

twenty thousand pounds; which small

From tbo picture of ibis house which

now transpiring in that renowned and

rather ' report, is a condensation of

, It would be folly lo approach a ques
tion of this moment with any of those
sentimental fooling which many of
out stalosmcn apply lo foreign poli
tics, and oapcciully to the relations
botweon Franco and. Germany, "..We
may denounce tb Gorman as tyrants

nata and dying face. We should be

Romans who burned Jerusalem, or the
Turk who destroyed the Library of
Alexandria. Nor cun we call a nation
that has shown the activity and finan
cial strength of Franco an, cflomiuato

Eorope by their skill in war, tholr en

We aro not, therefore, surprised to
co, a is so clearly explained in our
letter from Nancy, that there under
lies tho annexation of Alsuee and Lor
raine on the part of Germany profound
principles of statesmanship. Wo bavo
all along known that the annexation
of Mcts wns a strutegic measure, and
that considerations of military pru
doneo led to the reservation of Thiun-
villo and the country bordering on
Luxemburg. We have hoard with in

forror about Alsaeo and Lorruino re
turning lo tho arm of bereaved Gor-
mania, who hss monrnod for them so
long. But a still higher consideration
corns to have actuated Princo Bis-
murek.. Ho has left ontimcnt lo tho
Journals nnd poets. His plans now
show tho unfolding of a scheme lliat.beeu given lo the tradition, Uncuings

the overland rotito to the East an

wo soo that to acquire such a route
independent of Fiance is lo strike a
blow at the commercial supromucy of
that nation more lerrime man mo in-

has incceoilcd in doing this. By tho

Houie of Savoy Germany on. her

be isolated from poliiicul at, woll
oominorcial influonco iu Europe.
We recognize tbo supreme wisdom
of the statesmanship which has at
tained thosb rosults. And yet it is
not withaut pain that we read this
story or the' annexation of Alsnco and
.Lorraine. 'It is not too'ipuch to say
tbat tho civilized world looks on in
grief nnd amazement at the scenes
now ultitig placo'in that unhappy
land. Tho rtid, unrelenting course
of Prussia wus to bo expected... Prus
sia is even moro sov'ero lo hor own
peoplo than to the Alsatian.'' But no
ono expected and corlaii.ly from a
people as feeble and trifling as'the
Fronch are said to bo such an extra
ordinary manifestation of patriotism.
Fields abandoned places of biiHiueos
closed; workshops idle; fumilies turn
ing thoir household goods into money
and swarming over tho frontier ) fa
thers of families leaving borne that
they and their ancestors bav occupied
for centuries; resisting temptations,
blandishment, kindness, offers of aid
and security fleeing from tbe (way
of mighty and triumphant Germany

beaten France.. ' This ia not the first
exodus history records. Mon bavo
loft their homes for tho sake of liberty
of conscience, and crossed tho angry,
pitiless, mid-Winter seus"for freedom
to worship God in their own way.

It is impossible not to be moved by
tho spectacle of this patriotic devotion
to Franco. And there must be some
thing in French rule, that it can tako

of which even now Germun Is only

who loves bis country can hesitate to
honor this love of country, and we aro
not surprised to learn that it has cre

Germany. Prince Bismarck has pross
od on tu tho achievement of high ends
the consummate master of tho policy
of "blood and Iron." We readily con-
ccdo that the political and com me r-
