pawed in that way. There is something etas to be done.
Great improvements must be made. Theories mast be put
in practice, and no more trust be plena in those lying pre-
mises by which the popular masses have been worked. We
do not desire to work upon sentiment' of envy or hatred, but
to enlighten and improve, and furnish to the masses the
mean. of animating all the virtues that they possess—love of
work and love of family—we desire not to make use of their
views in our own interests to excite their virtues. And do
not think that you alone have the monopoly of copular ora-

—we want security. But is this security possible us a society
on the morrow of so much perturbation, and where all has
been shaken, and where no foundation is laid. Was it pos-
sible (continued M. Burnt), when passions and attempts at
violence were allowed to have frc, vent—when by allowing
hatred and contempt to be spread upon authority and govern-
