by relying solely upon The patriotism of the people
and the enthusiasm Of the moment, France had cau,ed
her popular Government 10 be acknowledge ed by all
Europe. The right TO form Associations was founded
upon Art. 66 of the Charter. IL was not disputed un.
der the monarchy of Charles x, and a fortiori ought
not to be questioned under that Of 1880. Art &c OF the
