will eventually lead the unfortunate TO repair
their losses, overcome d faculties, and regain

Wehaye repeatedly expressed opinions de-

s.,c never blamed him except condnionally-
On the presumption tina, he is, as he certainly

monarchica and aris,ocratical principles in the
,l.ce Of republican liberty. He observes, him
