This is perfectly in keeping with the tneory
of the wonderful administrative organizatloh
framed by the first Napoleon. The prlnclpie
of his constitution YVES strong executive
aided by the counsel and advice OF the nrs1
statesmen in the country. Napoleon iookeo
upon the Senate as simply an advisory oooy'
but having no right whatever to shape or
shackle his administrative action. he never
undertook to combine in his government
two such discordant elements as q strong
and concentrated executive, and ieglsia'
tive body like the British Parliament, secur-
ing to the people political liberty and
participation in national affairs.
The custom criticized by the Intelll-
gencers correspondent may show that the
"senators and legislators Of France DO not
take seriously their constitutional functions
and the constitution ITSELF but if the cor
respondent .Lads!bornelin mind the famous
sphorism of Sir James Macintosh, 4" Con-
stitutions cannot be made; they must grow,
he would not be surprised that French
y legislators, untitled. by education, habits
temper or self-government for freedom that
Frenchmen, with whom the parliamentary
system is not indigenous, but an exotic, and
therefore destitute of stamina and stability
should fail to exhibit proper sense OF the
mission assigned them theoretically by q
ready made, paper constitution.
The idea of liberty in France is very
different from thatRwhich exists in Great
Britain and in the United States. 1t does
not involve personal freedom; it demands
political equality, but has no objection to an
autocracy. 1t was in conformity with this
idea, as SHOWN Dy an able writer, tnat the
great Napoleon progressed TO compete the
