ameliorations will result from the appeasement of
passions, and not from intemperate changes in
our fundamental laws. Of what advantage, in.
deed, can it be to recommence to-morrow that
which was rejected yesterday ?
The Constitution of 1852, submitted to the ac,
ceptance of the people, has undertaken to found a
national system, wisely based upon the just balance
between the different powers and the State. It stands
at an equal distance between two extreme positions,
with an Elective Chamber controlling the Ministers,
the executive power is without authority, and with-
out the feeling of sequence. It is without control
if the elective chamber is not independent and in
possession of legitimate prerogatives. Our consti-
tutional forms, which have a certain analogy with
those of the United States, are not defective be.
cause they differ from those of England. Every
people must have institutions suitable to its genius
and its traditions.

Certainly every Government has its defects, but
in reviewing the past, I congratulate myself at the
end of 14 years upon seeing France respected
abroad, tranquil at home, having no political
offenders in her prisons, and no exiles beyond her
frontiers. has not the nation sufficiently discussed
during the last 80 years the theories of Govern-
ment? Is it not now more useful to seek practical
means of improving the moral and material
fate of the people ? Let us occupy our-
selves in spreading everywhere, together
with enlightenment, healthy economical doctrines,
the love of good and religious principles. Let us
endeavour to solve by liberty in business affairs the
difficult problem of the just partition of reproduc-
tive forces, and let us endeavour to ameliorate the
conditions of labour in the field as well as in the
workshop. When all Frenchmen now invested
with political rights shall have been enlightened by
education they will discern the truth without
trouble, and will not allow themselves to be seduced
by deceitful theories. When all those who
live from hand to mouth shall see the
benefits arising from assiduous labour increase,
they will be the firm supporters of a society.
'which guarantees their welfare and their dig-
nity. Lastly, when all shall have received
from infancy those principles of faith and of
morality -which elevate man in his own eyes, they
will know that above human intelligence, above the
efforts of science and,rea,son, there exists a Su-
preme Will, which rules the destinies of individuals
as well as the destinies of nations.
