December, when by a majority of six millions of
votes, obtained through the ballot, and under the
regime of universal suffrage, the French people volun-
tarily placed their new-born democracy under the
shelter of the most august name in their annals, the
imperial and royal name of NAPOLEON. Consequently,
almost half of the allotted period of the Presidential
power has already elapsed. Two out of the
prescribed.four years' tenor of office have wit-
nessed the direction of the affairs of the
Republic under the guidance of Louis NAPOLEON
and throughout the whole of that momentous period
the heir to the fortunes and the glory of the EM-
PEROR has shown himself not unworthy of the
confidence reposed in his integrity by his
countrymen. His actions from the first mo-
ment of his entrance into the Elysee have been
those of allegiance to the Republican institutions, for
the completion and maintenance of which he was
suddenly called from more than thirty years' exile to
the curule chair of the chief magistracy. He has ex-
pressly avowed again and again, in so many words,
his loyalty to the present form of goverment. Again
and again he has had the most tempting opportuni-
ties afforded him of adventuring upon a coup d'etat,
which might not improbably have encircled his brows
with the imperial diadem. Yet again and again
has he allowed those opportunities to pass by un-
heeded, again and again has he resisted and van-
quished those temptations. With an army devoted
to the reminiscences of glory surrounding the me-
mory of the great EMPEROR, with the rural
population blindly, and even fanatically, de-
voted to his cause, with the prestige ac-
quired for himself during the last two years
as a man of intellect and probity, and with the
authority devolving upon him continually from the
remembrance of his being the elected of two millions
of the population—Louis NAPOLEON might assuredly
long since have set at open defiance all the antagonism
of parties, all the animosity of intriguing adventurers,
and above all and beyond all the personal pride and
arrogance of General CUANGARNIER. None of these
things has the PRESIDENT adventured upon. His
policy has been that of systematic conciliation. He
has extended the hand of friendship to all classes and
to all factions as cordially as he did on the first
moment of his assumption of power, when he de-
scended from the tribune of the National As-
sembly, and, crossing the floor of the Chamber,
proffered the fraternal grasp to that of his rival
General CATAIGNAC. While other statesmen,
statesmen too of resplendent genius and of irre-
proachable integrity, found themselves rapidly de-
prived of popularity after the exercise of an evanescent
dictatorship, Louis NAPOLEON has found his popu-
larity only increasing among the masses, among the
soldiers, and among the peasantry during the two
years which have followed his abrupt and astonishing
elevation. From this at any rate it must be argued
that he has acted judiciously, and that too under the
pressure of the most embarrassing and complicated
difficulties. Hence, moreover, is must be acknowledged,
even by his most prejudiced fled virulent opponents,
that he is a man of good if not splendid abilities, of
sound if not comprehensive judgment, of unimpeach-
able honour, and of indisputable magnanimity. Of
any individual who could thus maintain a position of
such extraordinary peril and delicacy, this at least
must have been said in approbation, but more espe-
cially of one whose entrance upon office was the
subject of almost universal ridicule and caricature.
Against the prestige, the power, and the popularity
of Louis NAPOLEON his enemies are endeavouring
then to raise up the egotism of the arrogant CHAN-
GARNIER. But for the pertinacity with which the
influence of the latter is being continually magnified,
the mere notion would be altogether too ridiculous
to demand from us any serious consideration. As it
Is, however, all lovers of truth, all admirers of honesty,
all opponents of sham and illusion, should avow boldly
their contempt for this pretended omnipotence of a
subaltern in the administration of the French Republic
—one whose continuance in the post of Commander-
in-Chief is solely one of sufferance, and who is conse-
quently incapable of dictating in any manner to a
chieftain of whom he is simply, as it were, one of the
lieutenants.
