q
alone-in some one fcr or another, has grown ont
ofthe aflures of king craft 1t appears, therefore,
unreasonable to suppose that the people Of France
can be coaxed back to the raonerchical idea, even
with the thought that they may gain twenty or
thirty years Of internal peAee by submitting to
kingly thraidom. By the limited and inefficient
taste they have had of reeublicanism, they have
destroyed their appetite for royalty, and will not
return TO system which it has cost so much blood
and SO many lives to eradicate. Ambition intrigue
wealth, power, patronage, family pride, may all,
in their turn, have their influence upon the arms
and legs Of the body polite; but the body itself, will
remain true to the instincts Of liberty and will not
sel its brthrght out Of the slavery Of kings for the
"mess Of pottage" kings can supply. This, at
least, Is the belief we entertain with respect TO
France. Her condition is simply this After sixty
years Of struggles and commotions she is a=ked to
surrender all for which she has suffered, to the
bitian of Louis Napoleon who is instructed TO think
that the glory, safety, and happiness of France de-
pend upon his remaining at the head Of the State.
Is it natural to suppose that any such ignobe sur
render viii take place Is it reasonable to suppose,
when the banished idea of royalty exists in many
as three persons-Louis Napoleon, as the embod-
ment of the empire-FIenry ", a. the impersona-
ton of the old legitimate dynssty-the Count of
Paris, as the shadow of the citizen, limited
monarchy-that tho people of France will make
dice Of the repsbc, to throw for the stakes, with
such persons 1t it rational TO suppose that the
people will surrender their main chance for peace,
happiness, and security, that these individuals and
their friends may come forward with their personal
ambition to keep The nation in a continued ferment
and agitation We think otherwise. The re-
vision Of the constitution, suggested by the friends
Of Louis Napoleon that, by obhteraing its barriers
to his ambition, he may rise to the grandeur Of the
imperial seat, is grand subject for a sparkling
and interesting debate; but the result, we think,
judging, do, from all the circumstances, must
be fatal to the hopes Of the President Of France,
and his friends. Should the fact prove otherwise,
We must account for it on other grounds than those
furnished by political philosophy.
THE TRAVEL. OF THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET
THE MmEAeE.-Since the adjournment of Con-
gress, the Pres dent and Cabinet have been making
themselves quite familiar among the people. 1t is
well. 1t is, perhaps, wise for do suspect tha.,
from and after the meeting Of Congress-which is
to be a President-making Congress fo' the frst six
months that the administration will have awful
hard time of it. The new batch of Galphins will
be rich prize for the fierce democracy" AL,
from the Secretary of the Treasury down to the
Board of Mexican Commissioners rs and all concerned,
we shall have committees of investigation appoin:-
ed to tear the administration to pieces. It ia,
therefore, wise in the President and his cabinet to
make the most of this happy interval, while they
have little or nothing to do, and while yet We are at
peace with " all the world and the rest Of man
kind" and before we get into trouble with the
he foil ia af ha
spring and summer travels Of the President and his
cabinet, the mileage, in round numbers, of each,
and the aggregate mileage of them all together -
