loyal cooperation and support you have given to
institutions You have known how to resist what is the
most dangerous amongst assembled men-the being
red away by esprit de corps and all susceptibility laid
aside you have occupied yourselves with the great nte
rests Of the country, feeling that the epoch Of mpasson
ed and sterile dscoures had passed away and that of
business had arrived.
The application Of a new system always encounters
difficulties; you have had your share Of them. II occu

consequence Of that exceptional state Of things the
accumulation Of business the close Of the session Ne
vertheess the first trial of the constitution completely
Of French origin must have convinced you that pos
sessed the conditions Of strong and free Government
The Government is longer that passive butt against
which the various oppositons directed with impunty
their shafts Il resist their attacks and henceforh
follow system without having either to arbi-
trary rule or to dupciy On the other hand the con-
troll Of the Assembly serious for discussion is Free and
| the voting Of the taxes decisive.

dence in reconciliation and peace Tell your consttu-
ents that in Paris the heart Of France that revolutions
ry centre which scaers the world alternate Qht
conhsgrahon you have seen an immense population labor
ing TO eace the traces Of revolutions and oyously APP
plying themselves TO industry with confidence In the f
ture Those who so recently in their madness were i'm
patient of all restraint you have heard sautnr with ac
clamation the restoration Of eagles the symbols
authority and Of glory.
At that imposing spectacle where religion consecrated
with her benedcton great national festyity Won have
remarked their respectful attitude You have seen that
army proud that has saved its country rise still higher
in the esteem Of men and kneenr in devotion before
the image Of God, presented from the summit Of His
altar
The meaning of this is that there exiss IN France
Government animated with the faith and the love of rood
which reposes ON the people the source Of all power
