LAMARTINE ON REPUBLIcs.-Ths ConssiZley

civil war cannot occur; that France having tzken
possession Of herself, viii not surrender TO any

against the same enterprise by any other, for tsy

hundred moderate Republicans, believing that the
current Of Democracy Is irresistible, and wishing
only to give salutary temperance and course.
Beyond them sit the Left-about one hundred and
eighty-nearer to the Mountain. They desire and
profess Democracy; they stop short Of Socialism.
