M. Baroche then spoke as follows:
MONSIEUR LIE PRESIDENT In making appeal to
the French people, by your proclamation OF December
2, you SAID Il will no longer hold power which is
poweriess TO do good, and which chains pme to the
helm, when | behold the vessel driving TO an abyss
Ii you have confidence in me, give me the means
of accomplishing the great mission which hold from
you"
To that loyal appeal, made it's conscience and it's
severe gny, the nation has responded by immense
acclams1ion, by upward O! $50 600 votes. Yes,
Prince, france has confde nee in you-she has Goa
fidence IN your courage, in your elevated good sense,
and your love fof her. And the testimony which she
has just given you otthat fact ia much the more
gioroas that it is accorded alter three years ofa CO.
vernment, the prudence and patriotism OF which it
thus concentrates.
Has the elect of Dec l6, ls4S, shown himself wor-
thy OF the mission which the people had confided 10
him! Has he well comprehend ed the task which de.
volved on him Let that be asked Of the seveo mil
lion OF votes, which have now confirmed the former
mandate. even adding 10 it a more extensive and
more noble m ssop.
Never, in any country has the national will been so
soemny manifested Never did any government OBJ
tain similar assent; never had basis extensive
an origin more iegItimae and more worthy OF the
specl OF nations. (Appfooation) Take possession,
Pnnce, OF tins Government, which Fhas been so gof-
ousy cohtided to Use 10 order to deveope, by
wise institutions the fundamental basis which the peo
pie themselves have consscraed by their votes Re-
establish in France the principle OF authority, which
has been mugh shaken for the last 60 Yeas by our
continual agatlons. Oppose INCREASINGLY those an
arehca passions which attack society to its very touada
tons.
It not only odious theories which you have TO pur
and TO suppress, for they have changed into
and horrible attempts. May France be at length de-
lveed from those men who always ready for murder
and pilage; OF those who in The nueteenth century
horify cvlliZstlon and sppear by awakening the
distressing "reminiscences 10 carry us back period
OF 500 years. [Appaase.
Prince on the I'd December you took for symbol, |
France regeneYdted bY the Revolution of 1883 and
organised by the Emperor, that is say, wise aud
wei regulated liberty, authority strong end respect
ed by 61l. Let your wisdom and patriotism realize
this noble idea Restore to this country, SO rich, so
a OF LIE, and oftuure prosperity The greatest of all
blesaines-order, stability and confidence. Repress
with energy the splrit OF anarchy and revolt You
will thus have saved France preserved the whole Of
Europe re,a an immense danger, and added to your
ma me new and mpershable gloy.
Considerable applause followed This speech. When
ii had subsidized, Louis Napoleon said
Gentlemen-France has responded 10 the loyal ap-
appeal that made 10 her; She has comprehended
that departed from legality Only to to right
More than eco 600 ofvoies have just nbsolved me
by jnstt?ns an act which hsd no ether object than
to save France and Europe, perhaps, from years of
troubles and calamity. lSrong marks OF assent. l.
