m >./$ $ • * r i. Jtfiilosopliy of tbo Franco-Prussian War, Franco and Prussia aife connterminong countries, both naturally belligerent and jealous of each other, \Whatever may be the forms of government, both have been military despotisms and in. peace or war military camps. In Prussia all able-bodied citizens from the ages oi 18 t o 40 are en- rolled soldiers and liable to be mobilized at any moment,, and under the imperial government of France has b«en approxi mated to the same condition. Both coun- tries for years have been in a state of seige. The people have, been harrassed with mili- tary regulations and oppressed b y burden- some taxation t o support vaet armies and contribute to the immense accumulations of \wealth in the han&a of shoddy contrac- tors. Both have regarded war between them as inevitable, and have b.een prepar- ing for the struggle for several years past. When the parties considered themselves prepared the Moody drama commenced. • Each is responsible for the war, regard- less of -which toot th e initiative, and which firod the first gun. JL long train of events led to the war and forced the par. ties to the collision. Lite our civil war it must come\ sooner or later. Statesmen have long forseen, that a war between France and Prussia would take place as necessary to solve certain great problems involved in the progress of European civil- ization and politics. Pranee was not ready and the Emperor knew it. He found revolution, seething seething about him and ready t o burst out with resistless foice and to save himself and his dynasty, found it important, im- mediately to hide himself in a glare of military glory. If fortune should favor him, fame might cover him with a popular glory, and firmly establish his throne and enable him t o reign i n peace and transmit his crown to his posterity. But if h e failed events show, that he considered himself safer as a prisoner in Prussia, than an Em- peror in a Parissian Republican mob. His idea seemed t o see patriotism in success, treason in defeat. However inevitable the war may have been, at the same time it is one of the wickedest on record. It had its cause in the pride oi despots and the foolish, lust of fame. Eew wars have been more bloody and distressing. Both parties are suffering about equal calamities; the wealth of each is being exhausted, and it will require the toil and sweat of the laboring masses for many weary years, to restore the wealth destroyed by the ravages and requisitions of the war. \While the Prussian are ravaging France wasting, burning and destroying, thePrus- sian people are suffering equal misery.— The suffering in killed and maimed are greater than the destruction of the Freneh. The Prussian military system has forced into the field-a more needful and valuable class of men, consequently there has been a much greater draft on productive indus- try and it has been so great and exhaust- ing, that many manufacturing establish- ments have been stopped and multitudes of appendant workmen, such as women and children have been thrown out of work and are suffering starvation. Morethnu 30,000 widows, whose husbands have been slain in the war, now the only supporters of 78,000 children, have signed a petition to the government for relief. Others who have husbands and sons in 1'ie army ex- posed to peril and death, are frantically imploring the government for peace. The whole country presents one unbroken scene of mourning and misery. It M the nature of the Germans t o mourn for their losses and of the French to forget theirs, and enjoy with hilarity what thej have left. Sinee the commencement of the war the object has been wholly changed. In the commencement, the King of Prussia, de- clared that the war was against the Empe- ror and not against France. This was to encourage the Liberal party. Wow he as- serts, that it is against the Republic and he acknowledges only the Imperial gov- ernment. The war is now desperate against Republicanism. It is well understood that •the Prussian monarchy is unsafe with France a Republic. The Liberal party in Prussia, has become so strong, that the government is forced to respect its power, should the Prussian monarch meet with a similar disaster, there is every probability, that the people would follow the French example and declare a Republic. The war is essentially between monarchy and de- mocracy, aud the only intervention of European despotism will be m favor of monarchy in France. lllggawH BE-uiaa^yvpffiiiir^ I(yon want to get the yory B2ST and m OTTHEOT NEW Y0EK, GOTO F.
