something was not urged by that party winch the

century Cromwell and the Commonwe alth were
abhorred and booted by the British Nation as the
incarnation Of everything Goddess, hypocntcal and
detestabe: yet more thorough and impartial
scrutiny is inducing reversal Of that Judgment.
For half a century, the world united IN heapng
odium and curses on Robespiere and the French
Jacobins or Terorists but, within the last few
years. even that sentiment has been very consider
ably modified. We believe candid summing up
of the latest researches into the history Of their
brief but terrible rule, would show them IN the
main rather maladrot than wicked-ianatcs not
miscreants-men who misiudged as to means
rather than contemplated ignobe ends Thus
have almost universal judgments been reversed
or modified in other cases-thus will others
doubtless be hereafter The widest errors IN prac
tice generally have some impehectly conceived
truth for their basis, some righteous change for
their object--as we have lately seen in the Dorr
convulsion. 1t behoves, then, those who seek
rather 10 dispe popular errors than to infame them

the late sanguinary Revolt in Paris, and separate
so far as possible the good from the evil the right
from the wrong in the minds of those who foment-
ed and upheld it. In addition therefore, 10 the
