It is said that a foreigner recently travelling in the Scandinavian countries made the observation that Swedes always spoke kindly of the Norwegians, and the Norwegians always spoke ill of the Swedes. The observation doubtless contains a good deal of truth. It is, at least, true that Swedish public opinion, at large, has been distinguished by kindliness both to Norway and its people, and that every honest effort to smooth discussions has had the sympathy of an overwhelming majority of the people of Sweden. Swedes have been very unwilling to listen to the prophets of evil who have pointed to the deficiencies and deformities of Norwegian policy, and prognosticated trouble. It is just on that account that indignation from one end of Sweden to the other is so much the more intense when the veil is so rudely torn aside, and Norwegian politics are shown in their true light, such as they are and--have been. The revolutionary act of Norway has like a flash of lightning illuminated the past background of Norwegian politics, and exhibited to the people of Sweden all the unreasonableness, the craftiness and dishonesty which Sweden has had to put up with from Norway during the past decennials. In this way, the memories of the history of the Union of the latest periods are revived with indignation among the people of Sweden. If the indignation is at times expressed in unnecessarily strong and ill-chosen terms, Norway has in truth no manner of right to complain. ACTS TOUCHING THE SWEDISH-NORWEGIAN CRISIS. 1. Extracts from the Constitution of Norway. [-- -- --] Sec. 1. The Kingdom of Norway is a free, independent, indivisible, and inalinenable realm united with Sweden under one King. [-- -- --] Sec. 5. The King's person is sacred. He must not be blamed nor accused. The responsibility is incumbent on His Council. [-- -- --] Sec.15. [-- --] The Prime Minister reports the matters and is responsible for the documents issued being in accordance with the resolutions adopted. [-- -- --] Sec. 30. All matters dealt with in the Cabinet Council should be recorded. Each number of the Cabinet Council is bound to express, fearlessly, his opinion which the King is obliged to listen to. But it is reserved for the latter to take these resolutions according to His own judgment. If a member of the Cabinet Council should find the Kings' resolution incongruous with the form of government, or the public laws of the country, or else obviously harmful to the realm, it is his duty to make strenuous remonstrance and to have his opinon recorded. He who has not issued a protest in this way, is considered to have agreed with the King and is responsible for it in the way subsequently indicated, and the Odelsthing can proeced against him before the Court of impeachment. Sec. 31. All orders (ezcepting matters of military command) issued by the King himself, should be countersigned by one of the Prime Ministers. [-- -- --]
