Attention, Democrats.
The Democrats of Cass county are re
quested to hold meetings in their respec
tive militia districts, and appoint fire del
egates to represent them in a Convention
to be held at Cassville on th% 1st Tuesday
The State ilmiartapint at Washington
has issued a rirndm In which they embo

the large numb* of persona who are visit

powers of Europe, that these persons must
hare their regular passports from the
French Consul of the United States, if
they sail directly to that country ; and if
they go by the way of England they must
hare their passports supervised at the Le
gation in London; and that all naturalized
citizens must show their papers when ap
plying for passports before they will be

melled with all this? There are breakers
ahead.

Th# Probable Duration of the War.
Much has been said in relation to the
war in Europe, and as to its length, or
time of duration. This matter depends
upon first the ability of the powers con
nected financially—second, physically.
That France can raise any amount of mo
ney, there can be no question, as the fol
lowing extract evidently shows:
“ At Paris the subscription to the
French loan of twenty millions already
exceeds forty millions, including a very
large number of only ten francs of annual
income. All parties connected with the
government were expected to take part in
this new national demonstration.”
That Napoleon has the sympathies of
his people there cannot be a doubt; and
should he upon the field evidence any
thing like the talents that characterized
Napoleon the 1st, or which he has main
tained as a statesman, he will outrank
any of the crowned heads of Europe, and
place himself upon historic page, equal if
not superior to any of the rulers who have
placed themselves upon thrones by usur
pation. He has succeeded more than his
Uncle in erecting a despotism, the grand
expedient of power unlimited, and that
upon the basis of popular suffrage. While
he has been weaving the cords that are to
bind not only his own people, but Europe,
he has made even the strongest powers of
the old world subservient to his purpose.
The Queen of England graced with her
Royal presence the celebration at Cher
bourg, and Austria was diplomatically
represented. Yet these and other powers
were so blinded that at the time they hail
ed the triumph of the French Emperor.
So successful has been his plan that he
has fully popularized the public loans,
and each citizen vies with the other how
much each can, not will, advance to the
public treasury. While the French are
thus acting, the English loan measure is
trammelled with conditions. In the hands
of the English the stock must necessarily
fall into the hands of such capitalists as
the Rothschilds ; and upon the plan of
Napoleon he has and will succeed in
throwing it into the hands of the people.
This very readily accounts for the success
of the French Loan. This monarch inau
gurated this plan at the time of the Cri
mean war, when the entire nation could
have power to subscribe, or in other
words he placed the loan so as the work
ing populace could take stock therein.—
The scheme ia admirable, for while It
brings out the capitalist, it also brings the
popular*, and that forms a political conse
quence, making a force to disaffection and
anarchy.
Aa to the numerical strength of the
parties, unless the entire European Pow
ers are engaged it is on the side of France
and Sardinia. That others will be engag
ed in the conflict, if it lasts for any time,
there cau be no question. The physical
strength will then be on the same side—
for Russia must inevitably take sides with
France. These two powers combined can
command more money and men than any
other powers of Europe.

The Ticino.—Frequent references are
made in our foreign dispatches to the Ti
cino—a small stream which marks the
boundary line between Sardinia and the
Lombardo-Yenetian Provinces, occupied
by Austria. This small stream or river
promises to become as famous in history
as the “ Rubicon,” which Caesar crossed,
when returning from his conquests in
Gaul, he decided upon marching with his
army to Rome, in defiance of the orders
of the Roman Senate.
The Ticino, or Tessin, rises in Switzer
land on the southern declivity of Mount
Sk Gothard, and flows South-Easterly
through the Lake Maggiore. Thence it
runs a southerly direction, forming the
boundary between Lombardy and Sardin
ia until it joins the river Pa, near Pavia.

V. Jenea ■ interested to too Butterfield - of Napoleon is restored,, to the person of
or feelings. Alexander halted his army
in Poland, and his brother Constantine
called upon that people to rally to his stan
dard and assert their nationality. Prussia
armed its whole contingent. Austria put
her armies in Galicia on a war footing.—
British troops were sent to Belgium, and
over a million of soldiery stood ready to
support the claims of the rival sovereigns;
and the danger of mutual and destructive
war among the allies was imminent, when
on the 7th of March the news was brought
to Mettcrnich, at a great ball, of the es
cape of Napoleon from Elba.
Tlie tidings hushed all animosities in
the sentiment of common alarm. The as
sembled sovereignties forthwith drew up
the declaration, that:
“ The powers which signed the treaty
of Paris, re-assembled in Congress at Vi
enna ; informed of the escape of Napoleon
Bonaparte, Ac,, owe it to their own digni
ty and to the interest of nations, to make
a solemn announcement of their sentiments
on the occasion. In breaking the Conven
tion which established him on the Island
of Elba, Bonaparte has destroyed the sole
legal title to which his political existence
is attached. By re appearing in France,
with projects of trouble and overthrow, he
has not less deprived himself of the pro
tection of the laws, and made it evident,
in the face of the universe, that there can
be no longer either peace or truce with
him. The Powers, therefore, declare that
Bonaparte has placed himself out of the
pale of civil and social relations, and that,
as a general enemy and disturber of the
world, he is abandoned to public justice.”
This declaration of outlawry, which of
fered Napoleon up to private assassination,
or to public execution, if captured, was
followed by the prompt settlement of dis
putes, and the unfinished treaties were
concluded.
This settlement of Europe and establish
ment of the balance of power were upon
this basis:
1. Belgium and Holland were united as
the kingdom of the Netherlands.
2. Norway was annexed to Sweden.
3. Hanover, increased by the accession
of a considerable portion of Westphalia
and part of Saxon}-, was given to Eng
land.
4. Lombardy was conceded to Austria.
5. Savoy and the Genoese Requblic, to
the dislike of the latter, were given to Pied
mont, the object being to interpose a bar
rier against France.
6. The Grand Duchy of Warsaw was
given to Russia, as a separate kingdom,
with the express stipulation that it should
not be incorporated with it, but be main
as a separate sovereignty.
7. A territory containing over a million
of inhabitants was taken from Saxony and
given to Prussia, to which power was al
so awarded a part of Poland.
8. The German Confederation was re
constructed under the government of a
Diet, in which Austria and Prussia ware
to have each two votes, and Bavaria, Wur-
temburg and Hanover, each one, the mi
nor powers being mediatised into mere
nullities.
9. England took from Holland the Cape
of Good Hope, Demarara, Essequibo and
Berbice.
Subsequently, the four great powers a-
greed to unite their forces against Napole
on, and not lay down their arms till they
had effected his complete destruction; and
in this the lesser powers joined, present
ing in all an army of nine hundred and
eighty-six thousand men. When the army
triumphantly re-entered Paris, the four
powers again entered into a mutual stipu
lation “to exclude Napoleon and his fami
ly, in perpetuity, from the throne of France.
The “ Holy Alliance,” into which Rus
sia, Austria and Prussia entered, at the
same time, to which England declined to
be a party, but to which the minor sover
eigns of the continent giadlv gave their
adhesion, was a treaty not of nations, but
of kings and emperors, to maintain each
other upon their thrones, against their
subjects, as well as all others.
The vanity of human devices has per
haps never been illustrated so forcibly as
in the fide of this great treaty for the pa
cification of Europe and the balance of its
powers. The parties to it have torn it to
pieces, and cast it from them, as if it had
been the poisoned shirt of Nessus. The
fleets of England and France have dictated
the severance of Belgium and Holland-—

Condition of the Belligerents.
A glance at the belligerents in Europe
may be interesting at the present time.—
France has a population of about thirty-
six millions ; she has an income of three
hundred and thirty-seven millions of dol
lars, and expenditures amounting to three
hundred and thirty-five million five hun
dred thousand dollars, and a consolidated
debt of fourteen hundred and thirty-six
millions dollars, besides a floating debt in
course of reduction. The army consists
of four hundred thousand men of all arms
and ranks. The navy consists of two liun
dred and fifty-two sail vessels of eight
thousand one hundred and sixteen guns,
and two hundred steam vessels of over
four thousand guns, and fifty-six thou
sand six hundred and sixteen sailors and
marines.
Austria consists of twenty different
provinces, which have been .acquired
chiefly through marriage of former sover
eigns, by the Grand Duchy of Austria
proper. These provinces consist of half a
dozen different nationalities, with as many
different languages and religions. The
total population of Austria and her prov
inces is forty millions one hundred and
fifty thousand. Austria is deeply and
hopelessly in debt, and her credit is lower
in the money market of the world, than
any of the great European powers. The
people are weighed down by the most op
pressive taxation.

days arc passed. The excitement through
out the day has been of the most joyous
kind outside of the palace walls. The
streets, thronged with men, women and
children, in holiday attire, every creature
decorated with tri-colored rosettes, and
leaves of the Bay, (emblematic of Hope,)
in their hats and hands, were nearly im
passible by voitures, ^et the best people
here, Italians, English, Americans, &c.,—
were seen driving around, the horses and
servants decorated with ribons and flow

The army is composed of from seven to j r y* n S boquets of ^hite and red camelias.
eight hundred thousand men, when on a

navy consists of one ship of the line, (a

sels, in all one hundred and thirty-five,
carrying eight hundred and fifty-two guns,
and eight thousand seven hundred and

Sardinia, with a population of five mil

has an army of forty-eight thousand men,
a navy of twenty-nine ships carrying four
hundred and thirty-six guns, and her
debt amounts to one hundred and twenty-

territory with the Italian States allied to
her, amounts to forty thousand square
^liles,
and lilies of the valley. Every shop girl
wore a cluster of red and white flowers,
and a rosette in her bosom. Every man’s
cap had a plume of mingled red and green,
or a rosette on the side. Nearly every
house had a flag waving from some win

and green curtains. The windows of the
modistes were filled only with bonnets
composed of these hues—and ribbons, wo
ven of the three stripes, were to be pur
chased in the street, on every side, ready
to make up into badges and banners.—
Everything told of several weeks’ secret

love my wife—t ou know that, George ;
but thinking that I might die before I got

Yours affectionately, John Smith.
