BENJAMIN Constant died Of grief, the NOR
| row of the triumph NJ. Perier and Gen.
( Lamarque expired in opposite ranks, after
having exhausted their life IN contest
without result; NJ. Luflte had lost his I'M
nense fortune: NJ. Lafayette his pc, 'ularlty;
all The regulations of France are obscured,
all the Illusions destroyed, all the hopes
which the youth of that epoch entertained
are blasted, all the positions taken are false.
Those great pictures of the republic de-
Tending its territory against all Europe, and
of La Vendee defending its faith against
that republic which had conquered all Eu-
rope, are nsulted in the language of the
passions. The epithets 5rigdnd and terror
isl cover all that is grand and exalted in
sentiments whose only fault is their nppllca-
ton Il is evident TINT this state of things
indicates profound malady. For society
like that of France to find repose, all that
constitutes its glory must he honored. The
genius of NJ. de Chateauhriand, the brilliant
talents of Berger, the eloquence of NJ. de
Fitz-James, the fidelity of NJ. de Melville,
the military fame of the Duke of Beluno,
the chlvalious heroism of the La Rochela-
quelins, the name of Montmorency, should
all fnd their place in France. All those
whom ideas Of liberty or OF glory have
drawn into desperate contests, should have
found in the establishment of order some
aliment for their patriotism and their cour-
age. A strong remedy Is necessary to So
cicty. An assembly of the whole fnmly OF
France can alone terminate these convul-
sions, which, if prolonged, will ruin the I'm
est country in the world. France asks for
repose; it is time that it should he granted
10 her."

al Integrity, or in favor os all union of the

received by him. He declares that he is
ready to come into the Union, and even,

ment, as essential to the prosperity of the
country.

quil AMI engaged in perfecting such in
situations RS have secured to the United
States their welfare at home and their eie-
waited character abroad.
The county which formerly constituted
