The Kite i'm the Eagles Nest.

| The late steamers tell us that the sOi-dis-
ant President of France has ridden boot
ed and spurred from the Elysee into the
gates of the Tuileries, in imitation of his
mighty uncle, LIE Gra7ad Empeyeur-
This ought to be matter of no surprise
for farce is generally expected after a ira
gedy.
An act of hardihood (mistaken by many
for heroism) has made traitor dictator
The hero of Austerlitz tried this game, after
a hundred victories, and lost the stake Eng
land will never have to take the trouble to
cage this kite, even in Ham, where he once
saved his bacon. This fellows St. Helena
is not far off, and France will send him there,
or the French army is but Pretorian guard,
and the French nation is made up of knaves
and towards.
1t is a great misfortune Napoleon the
Great had not son now for whom even le-
gitimacy could fight It is greater pity
that the Assembly and the people Of France,
allowed its nominal President to perpetrate
so many outrages on the Constitution, and
at last to throttle public Liberty, before he
was dragged to justice. SO said England
when he gagged the Press of Paris-so
said America when his soldiers blotted
out the Republic of Rome-so said all man
kind when he put an end to the Republic of
1913.
They say that Paris is tranquil, and even
in most Of the departments 0rder reigus
Everybody knows brave and powerful
man may be smitten down by an unexpect-
ed blow, leveled by coward in the dark
France was stupefed by this unapprehended
I coup d'etat-and it was unlocked for, be-
cause no Frenchman supposed there was a
man mean enough in all France to do SO
dastardly thing.
1t is great mistake to suppose that the
Constitution of France was too denaOeg0tac
1t was not democratic enough. Suppose
our Constitution gave the President author
ity to cashier and discharge our Generals
from their commands-to arrest our Editors
and suppress their Journals to perform
hundred other acts of tyranny which have
disgraced the Government of this Kite Re
pu6iican! How long would he administer
the State France has either beeen guilty
of insensiblity to the insidious encroach-
ments Of her President on the rights of the
nation, or she waited too supinely for the
| hazards of a fortunate Revolution
She has been the jest of the world ev-
er since Cavaignac surrendered his brave
sword to the coward traitor who meanly ask
ed for it,
But this cannot last long. Any man
may be rich for an hour who has sneaked
into treasury of jewels and sllulked off
with it's deposits. But he will share the
fate Of Esop's rat His bloated body never
can crawl back through the same hole he
went in at.
What will France then now do? Is this
man another Corsican soldier through whose
brain flashes the dream Of progress and en-
pire Who longs for worlds to conquer !
Who can play the part Of the Autocrat
tyrant with such majesty that he will embel-
lish the lowest crimes with the splendor of
genius?
Oh, no Louis Napoleon is a sham IA
mockery "a humbug and in this last
word we have drawn his full length portrait
France will make this discovery very soon,
or she will need the sacrifice it will cost her
to make it.
Providence often awards just retribution
to nations Napoleon died Gagged eagle.
His son was slowly poisoned by the minis
ters of his grandfather, and to end the
chapter, the grandson Of Josephine, is
now Dictator of the French nation, whose
Emperor divorced her to glut his ambi-
ton The Duke Of Reichstadt, (tho King
of Rome,) lived long enough to disgrace
his father-but he was educated base Aus
TRAN.
It is yet to be seen how far this unexpec-
ted move in France will disturb the chess
board of European Revolutionists.
We hope most earnestly that our Govern
ment viii not show any great alacrity in
recognising the Dictatorship of this new
Syracuse Tyrant. Louis Napoleon is the
Heliogabalus of the age. He is the cats
paw, with which the royal monkeys of Eu.
rope are pulling their burning chestnuts out
Of the general confagration which viii
sooner or later consume them all
