Nothing in human history exceeds the turpitude ofths

ayes" or NO. accordingly as the voter was for or
against him. At the voting places the police were
stationed distributing les tickets but were forbidden
to distribute No tickets Notwithstanding this. Paris
gave, according to the official statement Of bis crea-
lures, 10000 votes against him,-Paris, which knew
him best and had the best opportunities of judging
whether Society required 10 be saved What the
provinces voted We have no means of knowing bat we
do know that it rumored in ." the best informed

that a majority of some seven millions two hundred
thousand votes would be required by the Government
and so seven million two hundred thousand votes were
given in his favor reported As in Paris so through

As for the real condition of France, The Courier ard
Enquirer knows nothing. 1t-simple sOul-takes the
Imperial Budget, which may be all lies as there ia
nobody to contradict TIE army has not been re-
duced the navy has been increased the bureau ;racy

is an employe of the Government What economy
can there be under such system Waere is the
boasted wisdom of such policy

its expenses of the French Government had exceeded
the income by four thousand million francs. The last
year Of Guzots administration the military expenses
were four hundred and twenty-five millions, while
those for education were less than eighteen millions
OF course in of the Departments ninety per cent
of the inhabitants could neither read write And

soldier and civilian army, that causes such expenses
Where the elimination of Algeria that has cost fifteen

CATION of the duties of entry at city gatesl Where
are the liberties of thought and speech that stimulate
the genius of nation and make it keep pace with the
age Where arc the evidences of increasing pOpula-
ton and wealth We cannot see them. We see more
trade than Immediately after lSi5, but not greater
comparatively than in 1851 We perceive nation
utterly stifed, manacled and enslaved and we leave
it to The Courier and Enquirer to praise such results,
gained through deceit, lies ngratitude perjury and
massacre.
