and accomplished law Of Sd Of May,
whereby three millions OF electors were dis
ffanchised--ihe other cont ingent and med
italed-,he overthrow Of the Republic. All
the agitation, the apprehension, The uncer;
lainty and the consequent derangemen, Of
industry, through the lasr year, have grown
oul Of these misdeeds, done and purposed,
OF The aristocratic party. In the sacred
name Of order they have fomenied discord
and anarchy; invoking peace, they have
stirred Up haired and bitterness. Whatever
the social Democracy y might have done. and
they been in the ascendentof under sup.
fposabie circumstances, the fact is ttpt tlieirs
has been actually the cause of order, Of con-
serva,ism, Of tranquility and the constitution.
Had they proved recreant TO their faith and
trust, France would ere This have been
plunged into convulsions through the mutual
jealousies and hosiilities Of the factions who
vaun. themselves collectively the parry Of
order; they have been withheld from cutting
each Others ihroa,s by the calm, determined,
wuichful, intrepid attitude of.he calumina,ed
Democracy.
The law Of the 3lst May still stands on
the sia,n.e book, and apprehend is destined
10 remain, though many who are better in
formed are sanguine that it will be repealed
before the next Presidential eleclion;) but
the Republic will endure and its constitution
cannot be overlhrown. All the Bourbonisls,
Or,eanis,s and Bonaparlists in the Assembly
combined are inefficient to change the con-
s,itulion legally; and If a bare majority suf-
feed for that purpose (insiead Of three
fourths,) they could not Today command a
working majority for any practical measure
Of revision. Il is easy 10 club their votes
and vaguely declare some change necessary
--bu. ,ohat changel A Bourbon Res.ora-
donl An Orleans middle.class royai,yi--
A ANapoleonic Empire? For no one Of these
can majority even Of this reac.ionist AS.
sembly be oblained. What, then, is their
Chance win Inc peoplel o
As to The signing ofPelisions for Revision
that is easily understood. The Project, the
Mayor, etc., Of locality readily procure
the signatures Of all the Government en-
ployes and hangers-on, who constitute an
immense army in France; the great manu-
facturers circulate the petitions among their
workmen, and most of them sign, not choos-
ing 10 risk their masters .displeasure, for a
mere name or less to an unmeaning paper.
But the plouers know perfectly well that
The people are not for revision in their sense
of the word; il they did NOT fear this, they
would restore Universal Suffrage. BY
cinging with desperate tenaci,y 10 the Res.
l,rictive law Of May 3lsi, they virtually con-
fess that their hopes Of success involve the
continued exclusion ofthree millions Of adul,
, Frenchmen from The Registry Of Voters
When they pra.e, therefore, Of the peoples
. desire for Revision, the Republican rotor
is ready and conclusive-"Repeal the law
of Nav 3lst, and we can then tell what the
people really desire. But so long as yor
maintain that law, you confess that you dare
no, abide the verdic, OF the whole people,
You appeal 10 jury which you have packed
J -one whose right 10 try this question VIZ
r utterly deny. Restore Universal Suffrage
d and we can then tell what the people reall J
0 do wish and demand; bur until you do This
3 we shall resist every attempt 10 change ih'
i, Constitution even by so much as hair
a Who can doub, thai this is right
. Therefore, Representatives Of tho Peo

e uIar side, and every hours endurance add

d Such is France in 1851; and being sue
