hif thb ~ the phtAli-
work Of the Empire end Of Louis Philippe Is ac-
tualy at its liie's end. The efforts Of the Rae de
Potisrs can only be compared % those Of drown
ing man, who clutches hold oi the branches Of a
rotten tree. This rotten tree Is journalism. which
panders TO all the corrnptions OF stock jobbing and
the ntrgues Of the last reign. Tie subscription

budget VIII be deyoured bya race Of people With
out either faith or .aw who write or al sides and
n whom the people have no confidence. Wha.
d. say the People despise them, recognizing
IN them the sophists who instead Ci spreading
light, coniound all questions. They reply 70 that
propaganda by contempt, and the proof OF the re-
sity Of this contempt is given when one Of those
writers OF corruption and darkness dares to slow
himself in popular assembly. Pierre Bonaparte,
who has been trying for some days past to mount
the tribune Of one Of these assemblies for the pur-
pose Of defending Property and Family obliged

replied that IN respect to property they only
wished TO destroy the system Of ma orots inst
tated by Napoleon; and IN respect to family. only
that bastard dynasty which arose from the adulte
rous alliance Of a usurplng conqueror with the
relics Of ieusalism.

take account OF the progress Of parties in our
country, the maneuyres Of the Legitimists. There
are, " ithout doubt, at the bottom OF the IDEAS
which are now al work. only Leeitimist and
Social IDEAS. Those are the Legitimists who
have directed behind the curtain, all the oPposi
sition since 80. Those are they who have made

false alliance, and following the same tactics as
formerly the Jscobites in England, o. lead on Il e
restoration Of the Stuars the Legitmisis have de-
clared themselves enemies TO any monopoly which
was not their own-ihe champions Of Liberty, in
opposition to the power which displaced them.
The Republicans had no pecunisry resources the
Legitimists supplied their wants. They sub
cribed to their journals aud took stock Do them.
Thus, the Count de Bourmont was one OF the
stockholders of the Iribune; the greater part OF
the subscribers Of the Charirdri, the Carc0fHr ,
and the National, lived IN ohateaux. In islo, at
the epoch OF the elections the alliance extended
even to NJ. Odillon.Barrot. Thanks TO tins
maueuvre, popularity returned to the Clergy aud
the ancient Arstocracy, to the detriment oi the
shop-keepers of the Juste-ma'eu from which 1t

Nofi0ndl now find that they have snatched the

The most diabolical work OF this party has been
the insinusting of great majority Of its members
into the Communal aud General Committees
We are very near a serious trial Of Federalism,
and, for example, in the High Jury OF Bourges,
directed by NJ. Ravez, President OF the Chamber
OF Deputies under Charles Y the Legitlmist and
Catholic influence dominates.
The fact that the judgment OF this Court has
been rendered on Holy Week, and especially that
it has fallen upon Raspsi has called up in many
minds an analogy between the coniessors OF the
early church and the martyrs OF the new faith.
The People attach to this analogy significance
and interest wholly religious, but this religion
bears much stronger resemblance to that which
made the Crusaders than to that which Prescrihes
the forgiveness OF injuries and the rendering OF
good for evil.
Exclusive OF the Exchange, where speculation
continues its orgies, business is IN the most de-
porable state of stsgnation. The retail trade is
entirely lost and will cast itself into the arms OF
Socialism. See, rather the letter written to the
Peuple and published in to day number Among
the sgners of this letter there is one OF the fur
nshers OF the household OF Louis Napoleon.
