Mr. DSOLITTLE. Mr. President, I think that in giving our attention to these industrial Exhibitions, and giving them our encouragement, we are not making obeisance to kings. It is making our obeisance to the freedom of industry the world over, which today coin mands the obeisance of kings themselves. This Exhibition which is now to be seen in Europe a repetition, perhaps on a grander scale. of an Exhibition which has alreadya peared in GreatBritain this grand fair of the nations, has been borrowed from America; it is an American institution. We have them in all our counties. We have them in all our States. We have our national fairs, where the industry of all the States is exhibited. This grand fair of the nations, 1st taking place in England, now being offered to exhibition in France, is but borrowing an institution from the great Republic of the world; and it is making obei sance to that great principle, freedom of industry, freedom of invention, which makes the great Republic what it is this day, standin as it does in the vanguard of the nations, and leading the industries and the freedom of the world. I do not therefore think there is any thing antirepublican, anything inconsistent with the American Republic in its being represented atone of these grand fairs of the nations. It is said that but little space has been allotte to us in the building which is to be erected in Paris for the Exhibition. It is true that in comparison with the space allotted to neigh boring nations, ours is small; but it must be remembered that we are on the other side of the Atlantic ocean from France, 3,000 miles away, and that the number of nrticles that we can put on exhibition cannot compare with those that can be sent by rail one, two, or 300 miles from the neigh boring States. Butz sir, there is space enough allotted to us in this grand exhibition of tie inventions, the improvements, and the industries of the nations, to enable us to demonstrate to the nations of the world that we are not only foremost in free institutions and in the freedom of industry, but that in the freedom of our in ventions we have excelled them all. We can set up the telegraph; we can show the steam engine; we can a so show there the great discoveries in medicine and anaesthetics one of the greatest of modern discoveries, by which, in sur ical operations, all pain is suspended; one o the greatest blessings that science has vouchsafed to suiferin humanity, which alone of itself takes from tie terrors of the battle field one half its suffering, to know that limbs may be amputated without a moment’s pain, that not a nerve will feel the incision, while under the influence of this agent, which Amer ican enius has discovered and brought to light. Bu. sir, I cannot dwell upon these things, and do not intend to take up the time of the Senate in dwelling upon them. I cannot, however, elose without making some reference to remarks that have been made by gentlemen here in relation to the Emperor of rance and his polic toward Mexico and the U.S. at be it from me to undertake to justify or apologize for the policy adopted by France toward exico. Far be it from me to look upon the conduct of France toward the Pogerument of the U.S. in a friendly 1 Mr. President, I have no doubt that the emperor of France has been most woefully disappointed in one of the dreams of his ambition the dream of his wildest ambition of conquest and of empirein thisNew World adream which he inherited from the slaveholding aristocracy of the South, who, in their mad ambition, would have embraced all Mexico and all the countries around the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea, in the idea that they would thus hold within their embrace all the cotton growing lands, the sugar growing lands, the coffee growing lands, and the price growing lands of that great portion of the world. That Napoleon, in the ream of his ambition. expected to advance his interests in that direction I have no doubt; but, sir, that dream has failed. What was that dream based upon? It was based upon the idea that the Republic of the U.S. was overthrown; that the union of these States was broken; that the States which constituted this great Republic were dissevered, belligerent, and that they were dissevered forever, and could not be united; and because he believed that, he took the occasion as his opportunity to seize upon Mexico to establish his power in the New World, and I doubt not with the dream of extending the empire of the Latin race and resisting the extension of the Anglo Saxon toward the south. But. sir, that dream has utterly failed. The union of these States is not broken, thanks to the snperintending providence of Almighty God, 1st of all, who inspired the hearts of our people and their patriotism to stand fast by the Government of the U.S and its institutions; and next do we owe it to our brave and skillful officers, and the men under their command, that we saved the union of these States. Our Union is unbroken. Our flag waves over every foot of the Republic, not a star obscured nor a stripe erased. Every State is still within this Union, and the great Republic composed of the U.S.A. stan s before the werld this day in the full panoply of its power both on the land and on the sea. Napoleon has been awakened from his dream by another consideration. By the armies which we have raised, by the power which we have exhibited, he has awakened from his dream of ambition and has learned that when the Amer ican people will it he cannot hold Mexico if he would. Having awakened to these 2 facts, that the republic still lives, the Union still unbroken, and) the military power of the U.S. such that no Power on the face of the earth can contend with us on this continent, he now avails himself of the eventualities which are arising in Europe, and which he has foreseen, to give those assurances, which are received by this Government, that his troops will certainly be withdrawn from Mexico. I know that, in connection with those assurances, it was given out that the troops of Austria were to be forwarded to Mexico to take the place of the French legions as they should be With drawn. It has been published In the newspapers in Europe and republished in this country, that the American Government, by a positive to test to the Austrian Government, has out orized its minister to demand his passports in case a single soldier should be sent from Aus tria into Mexico; and it is said by the press that the Austrian Government, surrounded as it is by those terrible dangers which threaten the very existence of the Austrian empire, under these circumstances has yielded to our demand, and not a soldier is to be sent to Mexico to take the place of the French; and from all hands, we hear it coming from the city of Mexico, coming from Paris, that the orders are already given for the concentration and the removal of the French troops from Mexico.
