have need absolute need of each other. United they
will have a good deal to do to conquer disunited they
will inevitably be conquered. And it is not appear
words of union which suffice II sufficient
to give to the necessity Of the concert between
men Of order certain exterior satisfaction and then
to continue under Of this great peace all disse
ons and all wars, great little That the union OF
parties and Of the of order may fruits

But is this union, which is ESQ necessary and which

which does not enter into such conventions and which
despses the fasehood the the falsehood vain.
Whether they come from the empire the restora-
ton, or the monarchy of 1880, let the men Of order
in drawing together not impose ON each other such
fasity; let them mutually give and take themselves
for what they really owe. Their union will be so
much the the 1t is evidently the result
OF their decided determination, without weakness
assimilation. And let not the different elements Of
the party Of order attempt to tie each other down
OF the future. 1t is an immense fault and always pro-
ductive Of fatal consequences to take up such ques
tions too soon, and to attempt to resolve them by a
previous understanding when their solution is not
actual necessity. Necessity, when present and
pressing, does not always suffice to make parties pru-
dent; but it alone has chance of succeeding in so
doing And the more the questions difficult, the
more important is it only to take them up at that
preme hour in which events speak high and command
prudence under the penalty of causing folly to be very
dearly paid And let there be retrospective policy,
for it would have the effect of renewing old struggles
among the men Of order. No anticipated pocy-it
would cause struggles to arise which nothing
ders inevitable and would render impossible reconciia
tons which are now necessary. Good is the

TO say what dominant and constant idea should
