With lheso circumstances acting a. controlling
agents in the foundation of French character,
and the development of the destiny Of the nation,
It's not wonderful that the people have invariably
! shown themselves deficient in those great prln-
ciples upon which free institutions rely for exis-
teuce aud support. Thus are explained the OK.

execution ofthe noble Marie Antonette, the sac
