the Prince President -
Messieurs the agistrates-Although re-
ceive your oath with pleasure, yet the obliga-
tion On all constituted bodies TO take il ap-
pears less necessary ON the part of those whose
noble mission is TO make law prevail and be
respected. The more authority rests upon an
incontestable basis. the more ought il to be de-
iended naturally by you. From the day that
.ne dogma OF the sovereignty of the people
mas replaced that of right divine, il may be
SAID that no government has ever been so ls-
climate as mine. In 1904 four millions of

porer ia nay family designated me as heir of
ne empire. In lS4S nearly six millions callea
me 10 The head of the republic. In 1851 nearly
eight millions maintained me there. Thus in

isithfui TO man, but TO principle, to cause,
TO The national will itself.
