The intelligence from abroad reveals
more clearly the design Of Louis Napoleon
to make himself Emperor Of France. We
have no faith in the sincerity Of the rca-
sons assigned by him-as rendering me-
cessary the overthrow Of the late govern
ment, and the destruction Of the Constitu-
ton. The immense majority by which
his course was sustained. Of itself, shows
that the Red Republicans. whose schemes
he affected to believe had become so i'm
minently dangerous to France. have an
uncomfortable strength, as compared with
the entire population of the country. In
deed we suspect that much Of the folly
INDUCED by shat party IS but the excess
of opposition to the monarchical tenden-
cs,hiherto exhibited by the Government,
and that the most effeciual mode of rid
ding politics and morals Of all the pestilent
isms. with which they are infected. would
have been to have reduced and liberalized
the powers Of the President, instead Of
increasing them. A well ordered free
government affords very little encourage
ment to communism. 1t is only where
great and obvious evils exist. either in the
form of government or society. that men
are driven to the adoption of such absurd
lilies, as are taught by Ledru RoIlin and
George Sands.
Louis Napoleon had it in his powcrro
have become the benefactor of his coun-
try and of his race The dcstinics Of Eu-
rope were in his hands. IF he had used
his influence, to have wise and salutary
amendments made to the constitutional
he had striven to educate the people in
the principles of true repubhcanism. and
having accomplished these ends-if he
had laid aside the robes of office. and re-
sumcd the station ola private citizen, he
might have approached our own immor-
tai Washington, in the services he would
have rendered, and in the fame lie would
have acquired. The existence off well
established and wisely administered Re
public, in France, would sooner or later
have overturned all the despot,c govern
ments on the continent Of Europe. In
stead of pursuing such course, as we
have indicated, one Of his earliest acts, one
for which his memory should be forever
exccratcd. was TO send an army to
Romc,to aid in trampling out the brightest
ircs,cver lighted up inthc Eternal City"
Since then the whole tenor Of his admins
tration has shown him to be the disg used,
but deadly foe offree government. Should
he succeed in satisfying the French peo-
pie with the new regime. he will have set
back mary years the progress of rcpubli-
can principles in Europe. But can it be
possible, that they will submi, to SO high
