The Minister on the other hand had cited the
silence Of the Constitutions of 1914 and 1880
upon the subject, as a virtual denial Of tn
right. To this M. Ledru-Rollin replied that
the right was imprescriptable-not to be
thus lost, and he referred to the fact that after
the adoption Of the charter of 1880 Guizot
himself had declared that the exercise ofthis
right was not only %salutary but was highly plo-
per and desirable. Guizot himself had belong
ed to a society which held such banquets. M.
Ledru- Rollih then proceeded thus:
And now l come to personal matters. | have
been severely assailed; l reply to these at
tacks by telling you that there remains with
us a final right-woe TO you If you violate it!
Woe to you if you invade liberty!-Woe to you
ifyou oppose to US your battallions! For then
without carrying the matter to the shedding OF
blood, we will appeal to the people and coun-
sci them to refuse to be taxed! (Lively and
long agitation.)
M. Herbert, the Minister, replied, and rel
terated the unconstitutionality of the meeting
that no person had the right to hold them;
aud concluded in these words:
That which you do without right, you can
not do without coming in conflict with the law
which forbidsit.

lister stood ready to reply. M. Pallet was at
the tribune. From every side came violent
EXPLANATIONS. Those on the left repeated the
words of Barrott; those OH the centre loudly
and with frenzied excitement called for order!
After much recrimination, the Minister con-
cluded a brief ~retort, leveIled at Barrott, with
the following naughty announcement:
1 shall execute the law upon all who seek to
violate it.
"A roice from the hf.-That is a threat.
