they have progressed as much as any other nation
In political knowledge. They have had the exam
pie Of the United States continually before them
and they have had the means of acquiring know
ledge within their reach, in the form of newspapers
m greater abundance than they had ever before;
and the happy result of all this is before u.s.
The age, too, in which we live, is different
essentially, from that in which the first reyou-
ton occurred. 1t is an age of knowledge
and of practical reform. This is evidenced by the
manner in which the National Guards and other
troops acted on the recent trying occasion. They
were aware that the country demanded republic
can form of government and that all the privileges
which are necessary for mans happiness could be
attained under that form of government; but to
have the republic quiet they as well as the rest of
the moral community, were aware that the rabble
must be put down, whenever the public peace or
the stability of the republic was threatened.
We are of opinion that there can be no doubt
now of the stability of the French republic 1t is
we think, firmly and lastingly established The
great axiom that the moral sense of the commu-
nifty is the strongest has been successfully proven
and we will not hear of repetition of such
conflicts as that which has Just taken place. 1t
will convince, too, the monarchists in Europe of
the strength of France, and the futty of intriguing
or fomenting instructions for her destruction
The progress of repubcanlsm in Europe, hence
forth, is onward. Nothing can impede its triumph
ant course; and, one after another, the monar-
ches of the Continent will fall, as surely and as
certainly as that the canaWe of Paris have been re-
Gently successfully put down by the well disposed
people of that capital.
