LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.

YESTERDAY the remains of the ex•Rieg of the
num were deposited in the cemetery. of the
little tillage chapel of Wey bridge, not definitively, no
doabt. Yoe what government could permanently
throw any obstacle in the way of their beteg conveyed
to the last rest nosing pine of the ORLRAN• family at
Therm f The foresight of the deceased prince was in
nothing mon manifest than in this choice of a pro-
vincial sepulchre, "past from the pretensions and die-
turbances of a metropolitan mausoleum.
Our opinion of Louis Pattiree's character was
given at once upon learning his death, and in • few
words. Nor are we leaped to add to them. The
influence and importance of person eves though
they occupy • throne are greatly exaggerated by the
public, and by those' who write for it. One would
think that all the pest was the result of individual
effort, and that whatever has been wrong or disagree-
able in it can only be mended by some individual
taking upon himself as king, or ss statesman, to
act the part of under-providence.
A common cry le, the country wants a man.
France can only be saved by a man. Germany
ORS only be regenerated by a CROMWELL or a BORA-
LUTZ. But as individual eminence and guidance
have been No very much lessened in the common
walks of life and its professions, so it appears to have
been in stresmanship and princedom. We have
men indeed that we call great, and to whom
we erect statues. But we fcar they were only se-
wed-rate men in themselves, great by cirmunsttnen,
stoat by leading, representing, andseising public opi-
ne:is, more than by creating or dominating it. All that
has been done in England of truly great, for many
years, has been done by associations of minds and
power, and not by individual effort. We do think,
therefore, in direct opposition both, doctrine of Celt.
ISLE, that the days of hero-eminence are over, and the
religion of hero-worship superannuated; and the
greatest proof of this hes in the fact that even those
few who haves craving for the old idolatry an no
lonise find idols.
Indeed the only clues" given to personal idolatry
are the upper end the lower classes, the cmirtiers and
the mob. For each of these classes feels the impossi-
bility of having its interests furthered or its humours
indelged nave by :a master. Their instinct, there-
fore, is to elevate a master over themselves and every
one else, but a master of their own sympathies.
And we are afraid they are quite right; that
is, in their own especial interests. But there is
another class that always makes • mistake when
it falls down before • man; and that is the
middle class, the business, the active-minded and
banded, small propertied patios of mankind.
They form a despicable minority in young and
=developed countries. But in highly civilised and
wealthy countries they form the majority, and
more. The true and evident principle for
theta to observe is a very plain one—self-
govetament ; and it is exceedingly little matter under
what form they establish and secure this, provided
it is this they insist on and obtain. Such was, car
tainly the object of the French middle class in 1830,
and 'notedly they made a very fair and promising
choice of • man to secure it to them. Bat it proved
an =satisfactory and unfortunate one, for Lotus
Futures, after he asoended the throne, admitted no
principle of government but his own Belt He bad no
idea of constitutional government but as a deception,
so idea of a npraentative assembly left to itself, or
even left to fairly represent the people. And in this his
residence in England was pernicious to him. For
the English system taught him that corruption was
an celestial part of constitutional government, and
that there was so governing save by nominee mem-
bers and patronege. This system, which in England
bad its counterpoise in the independence and
lend influence of tam both of talent and
of property, when applied in France, converted
its chamber into a mere senate, led by
functionaries, those functionaries feeding on the sye-
tem they supported. The whole machinery of legis-
lation and government became thus extraneous to the
nation, not a part of it, king, pews, and deputies
resting upon a kind of external scaffolding affixed to
the social edifice which it dominated, but which it did
not belong to. A trifling shock, an accident, the
breaking of • beam, flung all down, and left the
country denuded.
Louts Palmer" was the erector of this frail
scaffold, to have lived and worked upon which for
eighteen years constituted hie glory. His silliness
was to suppose that his throne steed em a national
basis. Thereon, indeed, he might have placed it.
But he was far too cunning and too clever to attempt
any such thing. And for this kind of cleverness and
cunning fools worshipped him.
We cannot but think it equal folly to regret him.
Even his fall his not auffitiently awakened or in-
structed the population who have survived and suc-
ceeded him. For they teems's' beat on merely reoreeting
Loris PlinarrE'l3 old scaffolding: they condemn the
man indeed, but they cannot bring themselves to
follow any other system than his, which was to trick
the people and never trust them. The present
National Assembly of Fran and its President, far
from seeking to exclude the remains of Loon
PHILIpPR from royal sepulchre and his name from
ado: respect, should, on the contrary, pay all
to the one and all tribute to the other. For
what they are doing is but rehearsing the policy
which Louts Ponarez himself played and followed
with for more talent, consistency, and dignity. The
ex-Hing, indeed, needs so autobiography to defend
him. The imbecility shown and the scandal perpe-
tuated since he fell must have been to him ample re-
nage, could he have enjoyed such a sentiment, and
ample rehabilitation of his character, if a sovereign
could be rendered great and wise by the pettiness
and folly of hie encessnors.
