work of trying to destroy our Government ? I hardly think this, to be the
cause, though perhaps that fact may
have some inflaenee among the French
sympathisers, Can it be ‘because of
the religious sentiment of the belligerants? France you know is Catholic ;
Prussia Protestant. I hardly . think
that this is the cause,for I find men not
Catholics who sympathise with France.
How will this question effect the poli
tics of our State ?
A few days ago I heard a very important (?) personage of the: Irish persaa-. sion say, “If the Democratic party don’t
stand up for Louis ‘Napoleon ‘and: the .
one-will never vote with that party
again ;” and shortly aftei ward, having
related the foregoing to a party of Germans, they answered, “If the Demo‘eratic party. do.stand.up for, and take
sides-with France, against Germany, it
may coulit us ont.” This. is placing
the Democratic party. between two extremes. .It matters not which hora, of
the dilemma they attempt to blow they
must be losers. If they blowfor Louis
Napoleon, they will lose their “back:
-bone—the Irish: It they blow for King
William they will lose their stomachs—
the Germans: Whliata pity!
But why, lask again; do the leaders
of the Democratic party side with the
French 7.. What! they, don’t? 1 tell
you they do, Read the following from)
the: Chicago Times, one: .of the most
radical Democratic papers published in
America. I tell’ you thatevery Demoerat in the land subscribes to the same
sentitients a etpreased by the. Chicago
Times, though they have not the independence to say so.
