Paris has been very much excited for the .ast
TOO weeks and revolutionary outbreak was expected
n.,,,culsrly week ago last Monday. The movement
bovever did not originate with the Republicans bot
with the Rsctonary and Conservative party the de-
re Of which 70 dissolve and disperso the present Ma
,onal Assembly in order tbst through another election
smsjori,y may be ,ecured against the Republic
The Reactonists pretend that the Republic was for'
ciby Imposed upon the country BY the Revolution o.
February; that the nation was taken BY surprise anu
enrapped into adoption and they calculate upon INC
reaction Of public sentiment, especially the ProV'h
ces 10 seconstute the Assembly and give them co"
ple.e power Whether, Il they had succeeded OF s
succeed in this de.gn, they would attempt 70
a Nonaschy with Henry V. or the Empire wa"
leon is not known; but one thing u certain -.

schemes Of despotlsm and oppression
Renor,s no doubt will reach you that great plot Tor
The overthrow Of the Government and public order nad
been got Up by the Republicans This Is not true
have been daily In the very midst OF TIE hepuocans
have attended the most private meetings oil the lead
era and know tina, they do not wish and are not no"
prepared for any movement their only desire has oeen
and 10 10 keep the people quiet and bide their nme IN
the late srts,ons they have eecusly aided In repress
ips tumult and maintaining peace. The Republicans
wish the present Government to be It's own execution
er 10 grow unpopular by s own acts, to discredt IL
self By It's folly impotency and internal dissension
They argue that when the people zee that the false he
publicans the redchonists and conservatives, can do
nothing for them, tina. their policy furnishes no RENE
dy for the mseres they endure, OF which they are full
" assured then the Republicans will be ready to make
another and final struggle for power; and II they
should succeed they propose to apply upon grand
scale what they consider thorough and ehectua RENE
dies for the evils of the country They will abolish the
As ceutime tax the duties upon wine, &C. reduce the
army, cut down the pension list impose taxes upon
property take the Bank of France the Railroads, and
other corporate institutions and invest the State with
their management The measures they propose are as
radical 80 the most subterrsnesn Democrat could de-
sire aud there 10 little doubt that whether wise or rash
Just or unjust the genuine French Republicans will
carry them out far possible whenever they get
In power.
The feeling of the whole Conservative party of France
toward the people, the sborng classes Is precisely
that Of the Southern shareholders in regard to their
slaves The only difference is that the slaves have the
advantage Of the interest the master has in them AS
property and the protection of parisrcha sentiment
in some instances the laborng classes here being ut
tery divorced both In interest and sentiment from the
rich and the employer classes The lsboriDg classes
regarded simply as instruments Tor creating wealth
and no attachment nor tie of obligation exists either
side Fer this reason nothing be done for the i'm
provemen and social welfare of the People till they get

they should have the power If they would know how
TO use II for their good but certain 1t Is II s vain
TO expec, anything from the Government OF the upper
clssses-the Bourgeoisie or the Aristocrscy
The People are now in position they have never
been In before they have learned vast deal since the
Revolution Of February they now have intelligent ana
devoted leaders and when the next Revolution comes
which is az certain az the flight of time, they will is
probable have the wisdom and the discretion TO estao
