The less number Of electors struck of the less will
be your complaints do not wish TO draw any dis
tinction between the rich and the poor, but repeat
it is against the people that your law is directed.
1t is said that you wish 10 exclude beggars and
vagsbonds. Interruption Do you forget that
BENJAMIN Consistent said that every one had rights,
even the beggars These rights, admit, should
lot be exaggerated; bat they must not b. denied.
! think the Only motive for the urgency is t. pre-
vent tie people from rejecting, and from meditating
on the measure. Laughter on the Right Ii the
people had voted as a certain portion OF this As

considered admirable. Appreciation on the Lett
Yes, the people mediate and they have right to
DO so. Interruption / do not wish that the peo-
pie should think thar 1t is sought to sake from tiem

Tor Of civil war rs you have. There is another mo-
tive which | do not take under my safeguard and
which may have been expressed without thought
laughter and marks of surprise. Ithas been said
that you wish to do on the banks Of the Seine what
you have done on the banks Of the Tlber. Inter
ruption 1t is said that you wish BY striking at the
best supports OF the Republic, TO strike the Repub-
lie itself. Appreciation on the Lett That is what
is said. Ii your law is good, why not submit il TO
tie three readings The Minister only brings f,r-
ward in support OF the urgency the agitation which
he has himself caused ! conclude. All, ali In
1852 you will be at the end OF your career.
A NOICE-And you also. Laughter
NJ. Michel de Bourges)-You will have less
moral conservation and the executive power will
have less also. IN 1882 the people will have to re-
new al the powers and then, II the people wish
TO force the gates of the ElectoralColegc, where
will be your moral force [Bravos on the Left
A VoIcE-Thst is an appeal to instruction.
NJ MICHEL de Bourges) Neither you nor any
one in the world will have the right to take one
iota from the Constitution. The people are the
I, judges
OS THE RIoHT-Aganst the law.
NJ. NEsIN-You manage the affairs of the Re-
public very prettily.
III. MIcHEL de Bourges) -Citizens-No one
| ever knows where he may go to. On the eve OF
the 24th February you did not know that you were
proceeding to a revolution. repeat, that in 1852
tue Government i'll not have moral force sufficient
! TO prevent million OF electors from voting.
A VoICE-and the obedience to the law.
NJ MICHEL lde Bourges You will have mate
rial force, am aware, but you will give US civil
war, aud you will plunge society into an abyss of
misfortune. If the people, badly Inspired, resist
your law, it will be civil war that will be the Judge

hear, from some voices on the Mountain.
Gen. LEBREroN-The candidateship of brave
citizen has been attacked from this tribune and
protes. against it, The barbados of June have
| left twofOld remembrance-an odlous one as re
CARDS those who raised them, and glorious one
! for those who overthrow them. Hear.
| NJ LETRASc-1 demand permission 70 speak.
| The PREsIDENT-The tribune is 10 NJ. de Beau
mont.
| NJ. G. DE BEAUMoyr-Whatever nay be the re-.
suit of the proposition submitted to you, whether it
| be adopted rejected, or modified every one must
consider il as certain that the measure is OF ma
ture to cause great emotion in the country, which
! it will be wrong 20 prolong more than is absolutely
necessary. For my part, and speak also in tho
| name of my friends am resolved not 10 make

that the bill does So but consider it inopportune
| and i'll advised. Alb, ah :! ! shall therefore vote
for taking the question Of urgency into considera.

phantom. Laughter. And since have made
| use Of the word monster in speaking Of the law.
sm bound 10 say that in looking az it more closely
| it s inoiiensive and even innocent. Laughter and
| uurrnurs ! shall vote for taking the urgency in
to consideration because it is bad to keep any pre-
tense for agitation hanging suspended over the head

| NJ LEFRASc-M. de Beaumont has spoken in

! have as well as the hon. gentleman, sought - en-
| tighten ourselves.

| " LEyRAsc-ln my opinion sho urgency ought
| to be rejected.
| Os rHE RrGHr-You said you agreed with NJ
| Gustsve de Beaumont
! V.LEFRAsc declared this, he was opposed
| 70 the demand for urgency. As the bill did not yio
| late the Constitution, there could not be any pre-
text for agitation. He thought the best plan would
be 10 send the bill to the Council Of State Before
he descended frOm the tribune he desired % pro-
| test in the strongest manner against certain ex.
pressions of NJ Michel de BOurges. Ii part OF
the people should one day desire tof1rce the doors
| Of tho electoral colleges, be M V. Lefranc) would
defend tho doors, ard the real people would be
With him. Hear, heaI.l did not, said the hon.
gentleman in conclusion, vote for the previous
question, % / desire TO see fall examination Of
| the question But vote row with me for such en-
\ examination, oppose the urgency send the bill to
the Council OF State, and we shall act wisely. [D
