THE cause of France (a transie'nt.
interval during the reign of the list of the 4
1 Bourbons except-ed) has been the cause of !

it would seem that although a king, per se,
is the most noxious of all animals in politi

anecdote which came under my own knows

present'subject, that I cannot resist the
temptation of relating it. For a little while
then. we will lay aside the dignitv which lye
longs to our subject and partieularly- to him
to whom it is addressed. A feclernlist, in
the presence of the writer of this esssy, was
not long ago rrpruched by a democrat,

mitted that the greater number osold tories
did support federal men and measure-s, but
that he must be all:-wed to claim the hent.-fit
ofsome exceptions. Among other: of this
politi'cnl genus, he instanced a Dlr. C. ac
