urestl Ieitand expected from the preceding
OF the latter. But from the former-the heart
sickens even at the thought Of the .ccngrega-
tea wisdom OF the nation assembling at the
seat OIL government, to re. act over the scenes
Oh the last two or three winters. The time
was when the meeting Of the American Con-
gress was expected with beating hearts and
exalting hopes. 1t was in the DAYS of the Re
Public's purity, and patriotism and wisdom.
We offer the annexed translation Of part o,
an able editorial article in a recent number Of
the Paris Journal DIES Debats. II furnishes
the view which the government party took
at ITS date, of the political situation Of France
"Let the electors think well what thew are
about circumstances, although different.
are as serious as they were four months AGO.
Other questions, but questions likewise of
vital Importance, are submitted to their de
clsion. The fate ofFranee is a second time
IN their bands. They are no longer obliged
10 defend a Charter, strengthened by an ex
istence oil sixteen years, against the attacks Of
authority, but TO vivify, to sustain one which
IS still too young TO find IFS chief support in
itself. They have no reason for fearing that
the laws will be violated by power, but they
hare reason to fear that this power will not
possess courage sufficient TO cause these laws
to be executed, 1t is no longer in tho ~vioieace
oil authority, but in its readiness, that danger
Is to be apprehended. Despotism, with its
melancholy suite, has passed the frontier, an
archy, though restrained, is in the midst Of
as. 1t is iaboring, it is watching opportuni-
ties, above all it would rejoice at making Its
way into the chamber. Four months ago the
question was, whether we should have a re-
volution. To day it is, shall we have anoth-
er. The revolution of the month Of July was
brought about by The ~violeRce Of the govern
ment; the second one will be produced by in
~ertness, by fear. We have need, therefore,
as was the case last June, of deputies who
know how to resist and to act at the same
time-to resist the ciamours OF parties, what
ever may be their character, anarchists or
shsolutists it is Of little moment to resist
the minister. If by an unfortunate condescen-
sion he should suffer that asthorlty to expire
in his hands which has been entrusted to linn
for the preservation of order and public
peace;-to act in a way that may consolidate,
may develope our situations with all the re-
QJ'site maturity and prudence
SIT must be acknowledged, that the Imme-
date effect of revolutions, however legitimate
and glorious they may be in their principle, is
tolay bare the springs Of society, and to ex-
hlbit to the whole world how fragile these
are in themselves. Thence the fears Of some,
the audacicus hopes of others. Nothing
seems any longer impossible; no obstacle APP
pears insurmountablc. This is the nature of
the present danger; and this danger it is,
therefore, that must be warded off, by unit
ing IN the Chamber an imposing majority OF
men sincerely attached to the new order Of
things, interested in the maintenance of Or
der, enemies of anarchy AS well as of despo.
co, f..- 49,. 90. f.N.n @oat.A
The ministry, with the best intentions in the
world, and incontestablc talents, have need
of SUPPORT and direction. Henceforward 1t
is for the Chamber to assume a higher hand
in the management Of all affairs. If it be
strong, it viii give courage to the ministers.
But let IT be well kaewn, that II 1T become
weak the ministry will become weak with it.
In a word, tits upon the Chamber hat our
futurity depends future Of order or d'sor-
der, ofElberty or RIGHTEOUSNESS, of CONNER
cial prosperity or general bankruptcy and ru-
IN. The Chamber is in the hands Of the e.
%1ectoral colleges which have been convoked;
1t will be such as they will make it"
"As to the rest, we entertain sangulne
hopes: all the accounts received from the
provinces agree in representing the public
spirit as excellent. The provinces have not
The slightest idea Of placing their trade, their
industry, tue rePest oil their IaiiHies, a. Tue
mercy Of our great projectors Of new consti-
%tutions. They approve The revolution Of Ju-
iy, because this revolution was necessary to
save our liberty, they admire, in conjunction
with all Europe, the heroic courage and dis
intarestedness of the Partisan population, but
they do not understand how a revolution
which commenced with the cry OF "Long
live the Charter" should terminate with that
Of "Long live the Republic!"
The Gazette de France obserces-"Now
that the public offices are nearly all disposed
of, those who have got them cry out, The Re
votution Is finished. Not 20 fast, say the dis
appointed applicants and expectants, the re-
v%olution is merely begun. What does il mean
more than this Ots tot de la que je MY mests;
