remember, which have become part Of the sad story
Of the fine country he Dow holds in bondage If no
other Game from Paris for century, here is q
catalogue full enough Of texts for volumes Of writ
ten condemnation
But dot Louis Napoleon think II possible for him
to expel every Englshman from France Because,
until 10 does do 80, he may rely upon it, the Daily
Ne,rs and the other London daily papers will have
intelligence of all that happens there If our pre-
sent correspondent were expelled tomorrow, we
have another ready on the instant, fill his post
Lot him expel secoad-apd a third will spring up
There are Freedmen, too, s woll as Engishnen,
ready for such emergencies If the President carries

the laws that rule other things. the demand for
men ready to carry on the important mission of the
press will secure supply We shall. therefore, de-
spite police arrangements be able to learn the
truth about what is being done in the capital Of great

speaking what is known 10 be the truth Foreign
governments sh2ll be subjected in its columns to the
same free and Wholesome criticism employed in dis
GUESSING our home affairs The Gins Of the Elysee,
equally with those Of Naples or Of Russia, shall be
denounced as feare5sly and openly they deserve
to be, and tyranny and injustice shall still be called
by their true names-ty ranny and iDjustce-and
nothing less. We wish to say nothing that is false
will never conceal anything that is true. In Eng.
freedom Of the press which Milton claimed. and
which 80 many have since suffered to secure-a
freedom Of the press subject always to the law
That law if we say aught illegal or wrong is ever
ready to do justice TO the really injured; that
pOleOn Bonsparte. 10 1t we owe respect, and by it
we are ready to abide But whilst we enjoy this
wholesome liberty OF the press, the hero Of the coup
d'etat may rely upon this, that though truth may
in Belgium, it will yet DO told fully and aloud by
the press of London His police agent talks Of fass
news" This is the old sham. ssFalse news" was
the plea when Charles II. put down the press that
had grown up under the commonwealth false
news" was the excuse under which James II. Of
England, and Charles x, and Louis Philippe Of
France, commenced their prosecutions Of the press.
But these three kings were all overthrown by the
very victim they selected for their insane wrath
newspapers were too much for them, as each had
leisure to discover in exile. And why? Because
the press in its integrity has become necessity OF
modern observation-disclosures in its integrity it is q
thing the world daily wants. and wanting viii have.
Prevented from freedom Of narration and freedom Of
criticism its integrity is gone and it becomes dead,
gaunt, hollow shsm-like the press at this hour in
Paris And with such soulless corpse modern
civilized people will net long be content. Two Of
hispredeoessors fearful Of truth, waged, for while
successfully, . war Of intolerance with the press.
Louis Napoleon knows their fate.
