A seeond meeting of those opposed to tbe re election of
lfr. Weed to the Mayoralty of this city wu bold yesterday
aflwrneon In Trent of the Merchant* 1 Exchango. The air
na biungly cold, and that bad its effect, it may
well be supposed, on the numerical strength of
be meeting. Then there was much dieappoint
tamt at the tact lizzie that was got off at
the same place and with the sanio object last Haturday ;
Mkl that, too, most have had its effect in diminishing the
attendance. Whether there were any other causes at work
tending towards ilia (tame ond cannot now be verified, but
certain it is that tho demonstration of yesterday afternoon
was, tn point of numbers, not to be compared to that of
iMt Saturday. Still there was a large assemblage pre
sent when the meeting wan called to order.
Mr Cooley, tho American nominee for the Mayoralty,
was rlocU I President of the meeting, and was saluted
wah three cheers.
HU. COOLKY'B 8PEECH.
Ho wid:? Fellow CltiU'ius? I feel deeply penetrated by
lhes?> m' attestations of your kind regard. I ain aware,
bewever , that this applause flows from the noble sentiments
that pn vaoe this vast assemblage in favor of a united
i Mint tor city reform rather thmi from auy spring in tbe
human bosom that my feeble abilities are capable of vi
brating. (Applause.) I thank you for the distinguished
bonor that you have conferred upon mo in Relucting me to
preside over your deliberating on an occasion of so much
p iMic interest, fraught as It is with the animating hope
?at Um> day or our deliverance from the odious thraldom
iposed upon us by a corrupt and unprincijialled public,
deer is at hand. (Crle? of "Hood.")
Here there was a slight disturbance in the crowd. Some
nrron hissed, and called for three cheers for Fernando
.'ood, and was therefore unceremoniously expelled from
e utrect and hauled off to the most convenient station
we.
When the excitement produced by this little incident
iwd si.bt-Hw' , Mr. Cooley was encouraged to go on.
Mr Ooolky went on. He said ? We are assembled to con
sltler, to somo extent, the ileploi able condition of our mu
nicipal affairs. 1' we examine all tho departments of tliu
??y government, what iio we find ? We be bold a dan
gorous band of !nconi|>eU iit, irresponsible, unscrupulous*

(Fxclamatious of assent. ) These despicable creatures,
with a vast multitude of thieves, burglars, pickpockets
and asi-asfcins are eupi>osod to be led on and eueouraged
to perpetrate the most diabolical deeds by a treacherous,
cowardly and most unmiUgated demagogue, him

RECORDER PM1TH R SPEECH.
Mr. Recorder frwiTH next took the Bland. He did not
apj-car before them, he said, for the pur pone of fully dis
cowing the merits of the question, nor was that the object
of this immense assemblage. This was one of those occa
sions which, for the credit of the fjrriiH of government
uni.er which they lived, and for the credit of the people,
h- rejoiced to fuv were rare. It was not often that people
had to take inch measure*; bat the gross corruptions of
the chief mapistratc of this city had caused the people
Uh.s to assemble together for the purpose of driving him,
as a r, ingratc. a traitor and a robber, from tho position
which he disgracoii. That < hi?M' inaKi-trttto had b?*>n
Charged as a robber, as a forger, a* a thief, and as a
scoundrel. Tbeee thing* were d^Kraceful to the citizens
of New York; and the only reason why It happened wa*
that Lhey could not believe, when thosn charges
wrre first made, that a man whose character
whs thus bad would have dared to ask
h s fellow citizens to elevate him to a place of rcaponsi
b Irty and trust. They had quietly stayed t$ home from
lb* polls, too. for the reaeoa that liiry Mt tbey would
rot be permitted to exercise their rights as Citizens. (Criew
of "Hint's so") That, however, would not be the case
agala. They had nnw. thank God, a law and a police
tliHt were not under the ceutrol of that ruffian. (A voice:
"Mully for jou.") They might go to the polls at the next
elet tioti without fear of having their heads broken and
of being kn<? k>-d down and trampled upon by the hired
iiiWhii- and biilllo* who form the guard >?( Fernando
Rood. <"Hurrah.") He no stated, that his fellow cili
? ns might not be discouraged in coming forward to the
rescue of their city from tlie grasp of that man and hi*
minions. It was not along ago that he (Reorder
fmith) had issued a process against that bold
end bad man (Fernando Wood) to b'ing him
to answer for the crimes that he had commuted, when
this man was rurroundvd by a police force, to whom he
?eve direction* not tv permit him to be taken from what
re denominated his citadel, and the officers sent to execute
the pf(seee, came back through the streets staggering,
b'ecdirg. and many of them in au utterly helpiose coo
dittoi, from the violence exercised by the men whom
Wood had a In tit him specially for that purpose There
was not another city In Ui?' Union or on the civilised globe
that would hare permitted inch a man m that to nave
r-mained for another moment In Um occupation of his
office. (Cries of "No.") He (Recorder Smith) had bocn
ai-hamcd. for the credit of the people of this ctty, that
they had not risen m matt* for the purpose of putting
dr-wn that man who dared thus trample on their rights
This was not merely the declamation of a politician.
It was the first time Uiat he had ever addressed other
than a democratic assemblage on a political subject, for he
(Mr. Smith) was a democrat, but u?t sufficiently a demo
crat to forget hia duties to Um public so far aa to sustain a
msn whom he considered ?n thoroughly corrupt as Ker
linndo Wood Fernando Wood, be assured them, was not
th<* nominee ot the democrats of the city of New York
(Voice? No; no ) He would say, for Uie credit of that
party, that if the resectable portion of it had the ques
tori [lilt to them to 'lay , whether they would support
Wood, it would b?- found that he would not receive one
out of every ten of their votes He was merely toe nomi
nee of a clique, and he got his nomination through
the means of hie bull tee, la preventing any de
posit of votes for the nominating committees that
were not In favor of Fernando Wood. Tbe
i1' mocrattc party was libelled when R was said
that Fernando #o<?l was Its choky, for he was only Uie
choice of a set of thie\ es and ruffians It would out do
for those who were here to-day to say to themselves that
there was no use in ow?wliig this man, since the demo
cratic pa- ty bad triumphed In the last electMin by 16,000
votes in this rttjr, or because this man had such a gra-p
and hold on the people of this city. That w as not the
way to beat htm They had now the chance of beating
htm, as care would be taken thin time thai be should net
cheat again: and If necessary tho ballots should be
counted with a revolver at the head of each canvasser
The people of this ctty were at laat awake to the infamy of
this man The people denounced him and disowned him,
and he was now osly supported by that clique which he
hs-1 got about h'tn, and to which he lied by pro
mieUig them place and power In conciliated,
Mr Fmith aald that the democratic party was
wtth Uie peopV In thi? movement, particularly aa Uiey
have a d> mo ral for their standard hearer, and he called
for three r beers for that candidate and his succees
The cheers were given, and Mr Pmith retired front tbe
stand, which was neat occupied by Mr. Joe tluxie.

Mr. Hoxie commenced by quoting Xhakspere, ofhe
work goes bravely on." Wnat, he asked, at that late
hour ot the day. and on such an Inclement day, caused
this assi mblage of freemenf He did not know whether
he was rxpe<ted to address that portion of the meeting
that was down at I'earl street or that other portion which
was up at Nassau street (laughter,) He wished he had
a votes that would enable him to make himself beard at
cither extremity. If be could rpsafc loud enough to
be heard by every freeman of the cl'.y of New
York he would ask him, as be esteemed ths character
of the city . tbe reputation of it* Inhabitants, her peace,
her safety and her prraiperity , to unite with this mooting
and make one noble efftirt, worthy sue h a great city, to
redeem it from an administratis which he would not
atu-mpt to characterize. He did not mean lo aay any thing
about tbe preeent incumbent of tbe Mayoralty. He meant
to leave him in the worst company on the face of the
earth, he meant to leave him with himself (laughter
and applause.) If his past reputation, bin mercantile
1 rant a< lions- (laughter) ? or hia public life commended
him to their approbation, be desired them to go and vote
lor him He for one should not He was sp-aking here
under the Ave mitiatse rule, and that was long eaoiigh,
for the ctty was not to be redeemed from the degradation
into which W had fallen, bjr long speeches Home
thing else had got to be dune What was wanted
was not talking but working If the candidate se
lected as the popular candidate had belonged to the
political party to wjitch he (Mr Hotte) belonged . he would
not. perhape, have been present to day to speak for him
But now his voice, his arm, hie heart, were all in favor of
a man who had been always a consistent, determined and
Irnnest democrat (Applause ) He had known Daniel F
TVmann fbr some twenty-five year*, and It would be hard
to And any one who lives In the city of New York and
who loves her honor and glory, who did not know lien
also If he was asked who I>aniel F Tlemann was. be
would tell them that he was a aort of 1'idcr Owper man
and that was Uie reason why hecmAded in him and love4
Inm. that was the r>Muion why he wanted him for the
Major of this great city, and why he was determined he
should be Mayor, If anything that he could do could effect
that object There was another test which he would be
willing to apply m Mr Ttemann lie was a mnn whom he
(Mr II ) would he glad to have for the executor
of his estate, if be hnd erne? (laughter)? and for the
guardian of his children He should feel happy In
?lying If he knew that a man of his (Mr F 's) integrity
and of his tinimiwached and MflipeaehaMr character
would have the cnarge of those dearer to him th ?n Itfls.
when be hinuclf wiled away, fiucb a mm wae Daniel I
F. Tiemann. Tb? other man they probably knew ?nm?
tbing about. (A voice: "Wo know all about him.") If
not it was not bin (Mr. H.'h) province to enlighten them,
If there ever was a time when every freeman of the city
of New York who regarded its reputation was oallod upon
to exert every power he possessed to rodeein it from tho
depredation into which it had fallen, that time had now
arrtved. The audience before him was sufficient to make
him believe, oh he did. that the time had arrived for unit
ed und determined action. ? He thanked tho committee tor
bavin* predentin! a mun on whom all the honest and intol
ligent {>eop!e of (he city could unite, und he thanked Mr.
Cooley for the noble and disinterested conduct which he
bad displayed In withdrawing bid name from the canvass.
He reminded them, in conclusion , of tho Importance of
electing honest Aldermen and Hchool Inspectors, and urged
upon ilii-iii not only to be at the polls themselves, but to
try ami influence their bookkeeper*, clerks, porters and
carmen to vote for the people's candidate for Mayor.
WR. MOKTOOMKRV'fl SPKKCH.
Col. Mo!rmo?tRY, being loudly oallo<1 for, then took tho
stand and wait greeted with applause, and cries of "Put
on your hat.-' He said? I would rather not; I am not
ashamed of my gray hairs; though they are the compttu
Wins of old age, they are not always the proofs of it. (A
voice ? What is your name?) My name is Montgomery
sir, him) I am not asbimed of it I used to be called Ge
Ittral Montgomery , and It caused ine some annoyance
Wtieu I was In Pt.-uiMylvuuia, for my Irish fellow citizen#
thought bceausc my name wan Montgomery that I was
the original General- Montgomery who died fighting so
bravely at Quebec for bis adopted country. (Cheers and
langbter.) When I assured them that I was not, then
they thought I most b? his son, at least There were
beta upon it. Committees were appointed to waitnpon mo
and ask me, and I told them that those who hud bet that I
was not bis son won the wager. I hud seven reasons for
knowing that I was not, and the first was that General
Montgomery had dl<-d long ago lighting in his country's
cause, and though he was married be never had a child or
baby. Shall I give you tlie other si* reasons? ("No; that's
enough," and cheers.) This is u bad place to spuak, and
as we are to meet at the Academy of Music on Tuesday
evening, I wiH reserve much of what 1 have to say for that
occasion. My friend Hoxic said that he was limited to flvo
minutes; but 1 would like to know by what regulator ho
sew his watch ; for 1 think ho addressed you for seven
minutes and a half, so I am limited to two and a half. I
will tell you at the Academy what right I have to gp?ak
on this question. It may be said that 1 do not live in New
York; but I resided among you for fourteen years; I mar
rM a wife here, and I feel as if I was born In the city. I
never made a political speech before, and if I hud been
asked to speak here for any political party I would not
have come. The candidate you have nominated Is not tho
candidate of a party, and 1 rejoice to find all part'es united
on a man who is worthy of the ofHre ol' Mayor of this city.
I don't know the present incumbent personally ? 1 don't
know Mr. Ttemann either ? but 1 never found any one who
knew him to say that he was not an honest man; and I
am sure that not u man could be found, with common

Mr W. II. Anthon then arose and said . ? fellow citizen*,
at an immense assemblage of the electors of the city of New
York, held at this place on the 14th day of November ? an
assemblage which convened together H|>ontancously, I may
almost say , for the purpose of expressing their approval
of measures calculated to reform the administration of
our municipal alTairs, and to hurl from power that
corrupt and ambitious demagogue, Fernando Wood ?
(loud cheers)? u committee was appointed for tho
purpose of reporting to an adjourned meeting to be
held at this place at some time to be fixed, the name
of a suitable person to be voted for by the electors of
the city of New York, as the Mayor of this great Me
tropolis. That Committee have carefully |>erformed the
duties so highly res|M>nslble, and so highly honora
ble, confided to their cl argo, and the result of their de
liberations 1 shall now give you, If such be your pleasure.

an extended address u|K>n this great and overwhelmingly
important subject has been prepared, which will not l*?
read to you this afternoon, because there are several emi

dress w ill, however, be in doe time printed, will be print

of the committee is as follows: ?
The commitce appointed at the mass meeting of citizens
held at the Merchants Kxcbange. on the Ht"! last. , to eon
fer with ether committees representing various political
organizations, and rrjtort the name of a suitable candidate
for the mayoralty, have performed th? duly assigned to
them with careful deliberation, and a profound sense of
their responsibility to the community. They announce
tbat they have accepted the is sue which the citizens of
New York have been dared to meet, between the continu
ance of tbe present corrupt administration of the affairs of
the city , and a thorough ami radical reform ot crying
abuses . by presenting for the sufl rages of their fellow
citizens, for Mayor, tie name of Daniel K. Ttemann, (ve
hement and prolonged cheering,) a man whose long life of
Industry, integrity and public usefulness in our midst, is
a guaranty that, so far as an honest executive officer can
restore the prostrate character of this oppressed city to
tta former high reputation, his election, as the people's
candidate, w ill accomplish an object so duar to every In
habitant of this great metropolis.

was Ktill besieging the capital, which in held by Baez with
a force of about 000 men, but being without any adequate
naval fore* he cannot make it a clone blockade. Nearly
or quite all the respectable inhabitant* had either left the
city or been driven away by Baes, and the majority of
those who remain are opposed to his rule; but being with
out arm* and in the presence of a superior force , they can
do nothing.
All the rent of the republic rerognises the rule of the
provisional government established at Santiago do l<w
Caballcros, and It in generally supposed that l*rofii<lont

The captain of the American schooner Oharle* Hill,
which was seized by Baez some time since, for haviux run
into a Dominican schooner of war, and damaged her to the
extent oL about $100 in value, has been sentenced to im

The position of our Consul at St. Domingo, Jonathan El
liott, ksq., is most annoying to himaell and family, and un
pleasant to every one of the foreign romdentu. In CO? S
quenccof tbo old atTair between him and the Spanish Consul
tieneral, Senor Segovia, originating in tiie wholesale natu
ral I Eation by the latter of natives of all classe* ami colors as
Spanish subjects, Haez, who sided warmly with Seuor Se
govia, was persecuting the Consul and American citizens
generally, in the most outrageous inanuer He was al
most daily Insulted, and frequently at night mobs would
collect around his house and annoy tbo family, shouting,
halloing and calling him opprobrious epithet-;.
On one of the>>c occasions tlie French Admiral, who was
in port. hearing of Uie matter, west on shorn, and finding
the true state if aflairs, prccecded at onco to
the residence of President Baez, fronting on the harbor,
and demanded an interview. He then told the President
what was heing enacted around the house of the Ameri
can Consul, and requ<*ted that these thiugs should bo
stopped Baez pretended not to believe them. and dually
said that he Iwd nothing to do with tliem If they were so
The Admiral told him llrmly that they mud be stopped
by the government, or he would land a force of martin's
and take upon himself to stop them. The President el ill
persisting in his denial, the Admiral ; it once stepped out
upon the balcony of the. palace, and making a signal with
his handkerchief, several boat", tilled with marine*, at
once put off from both the French and Kngllsh slii|H of
war in tbe harbor. On seeing this Ilaez at once gave

the American Consulate were stopped from that time.
It Is to be hoped Uiat the Cyano Kloop ol war. now on

Fiom tlie time of her departure till li*r arrival off our
ccaM.thc Niagara encountered a series of severe Kales
and during the last tlx or seven days of the voyage they
blew from the northwest. In addition to uniavorubl
vrc. tl.er Bhc had to contend uguiu: t the old ilifOculty ? tli-j
defective manner In which the ironwork of the rigglnj
wan done. It may be remembered that thin wai one o
the principal causes of tho long passag * which she mad
on her trip to England last April, and that by the givin
way of a portion of the rigging three men nearly lost their
live*. It wait found nrceiwary, on her way h';re, to bo
care tho top and topgallant masts by strong hawsers,
und had not these precautions been tak?*ti it is
believed she woul i have lost several of her s|>ars. Under
these circumstances it w not to be wondered at if, on her
pMssagetoKngat.il and on her r ??turn , she should not
have realized the expec tat ions that have beeu formed re
garding licr sailing qualities. However, one day's tin,
with a fair though uot a strong li r^'re, will show what
she is capable of accomplishing in the sailing line. From
I ? o'clock of tl.o Nth instant to twelve of the following
iiny she ran by observation tbreo hundred aud twenty
three miles, and rave abundant evidence that, with the
wind from the right quarter, sho could throw off nineteen
slid twenty miles. Hut while the iron jvirt ol'tne rigging
was to defective the machinery worked admirably, pro
pelling lier rigid In the teeth of the gale at the rate of six
miles an hour, and accomplishing all that the most san
guine could expect.
As we stated on a former occasion, the arrangements
for the reception of the cable ou the return of tae shipti
England in xl year have not been disturbed. The circle* la
the hold, and on the orlop and main decks remain as they
were, and the cable, sheavos over the bow and stem are
still in their old position. Nothing has been removed ex
eept the cable Itself, and that, we are a -'ir-'d, notwith
stiuduig the re|Kirts to (tie contrary , is in a-> perfect a
condition as wln u it came out of tn?? factory. The oili
corn' wardroom has not even botu altered, and .hose who
visit the vessel may have come Idea, from tin r mditlou
ot this part ol it, ofeoms of the pleasures "f cable laying.
Everything, *1 fact, in and about the ship, remains un
changed; and what li better (ban all, the officers return
in us good if not better health and spirits as when tiiey
went ou the expedition. It is settled , we understand,
that Uiey are to go out next year, and the great practical
experience which all, Irom the captain to the humblest
m nnian on hoard, have gained in cable lav ina will prove
invaluable on the second attempt.
Before the Niagara left Plymouth orders were r> veil
by the naval commander ot that |iort from the Admiralty
at London to |iay ell aud put the Agamemnon out of com
mission as soon as her cable is discharged. 11 work wtrch
will lake much longer than that of removing the cable
from the Niagara 111 consequence of it- greater length,
the whole twelve hundred aud tifty miles having re
maiiied untouched from tin- day it wa, coih d ou board
from the factory at Greenwich. It is reported that when
the Agamemnon goes out on the expedd.on next year,
she will be placed under the command of a po-t raptain.
though it is not yet known who is to receive the up|uimt
m-.nl It is extremely doubtful whether this act of the
Uritlsh government, In superseding her commander, Mr.
Nodilall, a gentleman whose coni|H't< ii< y lor the task h is
never been questioned, will work well for the Atlantic.
Telegraph Com|>any or the success of the enterprise. The
experience wIih h Mr. Noddall- and Ins officer* have had
in the work is invaluable to the company , mid it is U? be
hoped that no change wilt be made m the commands of
the English, as noue will be made in that of tin' American
shins The Importance of this |ionit cannot be too stroug
ly urged upon both governments.
The machinery for the work of laying the cable next
summer has been contracted for, and wil. imt aoinewhoro
about thirty thousand dollars It in to lie thoroughly
tested before the sailing of the expedition, so that any de
fects it may have can be remedied In time. With proper
machinery . auch as can ba made between ibis and next
Spring, and three thousond miles of cable to perform the
work with, no doubts whatever need be entertaiiic I of its
anccesa. Hut to accomplish it succi-sstully, it is e: nentr.il
that the sam*> slops, the same commanders an I the same
< flteers should lie appoiutcd.
An incideut of much interest to the officers of t lie Via
gara occurred some time before their departure from
Plymouth. They received an ationytnou letter informing
them that in one corner o( the old ctiurch yard ot Ply
mouth lay Uie remains of Li?ut Wm ll-nry Allen, the
commander of the I'mted States hr>g of w >r \rgn? at tlie |
time of her capture in the English Channel during the war
of 1H12, and who received a tutal wo, m l duritc the hard
fought contest, which ended in her falling into the h ind <
of the enemy. This letter stan d that the intcriptuin on
the toml>?tone was ?lrn<wt effaced, and thai Uie olil era of
the Niagara would have nm opportunity of renewing It at
any time they might desire. It is almost n.s-ll. * to state
that they lost no time in doing tliis, and the visiter to the |
old Plymouth churchyard will hereafter have w> . t ?til- n 1? y j

Our European llleo contain the following additional rt
ports relative to the effect of the American financial ? i lnl?

The Glasgow Mail nays . ? We understand that the steam
ship Glasgow, which Hailed from tho Brunuoiaw for New
York loiH week, had not one eighth of the axtial cargo af
uercLaudt.se. t-uch hu? been the effect of the monetary
panic in America It it< only a pity that tho diminish^!
rate of export* hod not commenced Home few monUn* ago
It la stated that the monetary prewmre In Vwnna in very
severe, and that tn about a fortnight no ksi t\< in one Kun

The Merman States are on the point of coming to norac
general arrangement to protect tho Interest* of the an
ineroun emigrant* from German ports to tho United Htaten,
by Hp|K*intiug emigrant inspectors on the Kngllab plan.
Advices received by telegraph from Pt. Poternborg,
state that no want of money m felt there, and that eager
ness- in manifested to pay op ui advance on tho share* of
the Russian railways. ?
Tlie ministerial crisis in Belgium docs not appear to
have advanced much toward* a notation. There umihh to
be no doubt that M. Ilenrl de Brourkere did accept the
mission to compose a new Cabinet, and the following
n.imrg were at one moment in circulation as to Uh*o?
which would be found on hie Hot. ? I Jedtn, Interior, 1"V
?lar, Justice; Quollin, Finance, Renard, War, and M da
llroijckcre himself taking the administration ?f the depart
Hieut of Foreign Affuir*. Tlie intention woe, it appears,
to furDi a ministry merely for buidnee*, to carry ou aftkirn
until the elections iu June, 1868. Nnce then, If. do
Hrouekere having a -ertained from several nonferencen
with members of the lett that such a position wonld be
untenable for any ministry, found himself obliged to in
f.irm the King that the projected arrangement could not
be carried out, and that he feared it would be inipoesible
for him U> compose a Cabinet.
A U tter from Naples, of the 30th of October, states that
the l'rlncea* pouu Maria, sister of the King and wife ot
I on Svliufctiun of Spain, bud become so 111 that tho last
sacrament* had been administered to her, but that II. K.
II. .Jtei wards became a little belter, though the greatest
disquietude continued to be felt respecting her.
An milling ceremony took place lately at Hehostopol,
tie- mortal remains of Ueuteuant Colonel* Fonfrede and
.lolly Det-hiiyes having been exhumed and embarked on
board the American vessel Susan .line, u> be brought to
France for re interment. All the Ku.ssuin garrison *un
uuder arms, and paid due military honors.
Tlie niiignifleent piece of ordnance sent as a present by
the citir>'iis of Bos too to the i>eople of Piedmont, for tho
fortifications of Alexandria, wuh placed on the I'uuuu
Keale of that town on the iJKlh ult.

to liis Stales, the Ivrttlidc Hu*>r. publishes an article oo
the int? rvi?w of Stuttgard, in which i* Uie following |>u*
mi ge rclutlve to the Holy Alliance ?
The grand defect ot the Holy Alliance is that it wa* not
i ? d mi any pealUv* n n. That AHlHMt, mspiuior iw
brilliant prigiamme, ilid not make war on Belgium for
having ?< j?ari?t?d herself from Holland, did not attack tho
revolution of July, and still !?** that of Kubruary. Tito
re. ent meeting oi the Emperor of Ku**ia and the Emperor
of the Frmcb proves in the most air tking manner that tho
Holy Allien) c, which had taken on iU>clf to prescribe pali*
to history, was an tllu>-ory Hlea which lilwl no practical
l>as Is. Notwithstanding the piou* terms in which tho
tieiity was drawn out, the Holy Alliance oommiUnd tho
lau'l of w ih lung to turn aside ihe decrees of I'rovMenco
It has left to posterity the conviction th.it sovereign* and
nations do not require special alliances iu order to live in
p< iice and friendship and proceed together in the paUi of
civilisation.
