VICTOR HUGo's sPEECH-FRENCH
AND AMERICAN IDEAS OF LIBERTY.

All the expressions Of despotic govern
ment are most melancholy. They are melan-
choly in their exactions, in their social sever
ances, in their cold-blooded cruelties, and in
their sitting Of noble and lofty impulses But
they are most melancholy in this-that those
brave and generous spirits, within whose hearts
burn the light Of liberty, and who will not be
crushed and ground down, are induced by these
expressions to embrace distempered views OF
liberty. One extreme in this imperfect world,
begets the opposite extreme. Extreme despot
ism begets in the minds Of those who oppose
it--an extreme and licentous sense Of lib
erty. OF France, this is especially true. Her
revolutions have been frantic commissions,
blazing conHagrations that consumed even
those who originated them. They have always,
in their efforts to attain freedom, lost sight Of
moderation and conservatism.
We were aware that the celebrated Victor
Hugo was Republican and poet, but we
had never dreamed, until very lately, that he
was so Red Republican, and so wild poet
We thought that he had a solid substratum Of
common sense. We are sorry to find that we
we're in error.
He recently delivered an address ito the
eriieo of Burupe, the anniversary of the
French revolution" II is full Of poetry, full
Of eloquence, and full Of humanity. But it is
in many places full Of nonsense. He gravely
proposes what some Of our Northern lunatics
propose--that women shall be allowed the
right Of suffrage. He says:
ave should everywhere behold the brain
thinking, the arm-acting and matter-obeying !;
machinery serving the will Of man social ex-
periments on a mighty scale; all the wonderful
Foundations Of progress by progress science
struggling with creation workshops always
open, whose doors poverty had only to push, in
order to become transformed into labor
shoots always open, whose doors ignorance had
only TO push, in order to become transformed
to intelligence, gratuitous and obligatory AGA.

penal responsibilities; il finds woman equal to
Imprisonment, to Clichy TO the bagnio, to the

nal slave, eternal victim, eternal martyr, we
will raise you up!
We will not gravely discuss the subject of
women's rights, even with so intellectual a
man as the great Victor Hugo. II is beneath
his intellect, and to an Anglo-Saxon, beneath
contempt.
1t is by such extravagances as this that
the French lose liberty and become subject to
despotisms. French philosophers are too often
sublimated poets, who expect, in this cold Prac-
teal world, poetic justice. They confound
moral maxims with legal enactments, and
think that what they express in beautiful
phraseology, can be accomplished with the
same ease with which the words are spoken.
They confound words with thngs-ideas with
deeds-visions with realizations What they
want is sound practical sense, and Anglo
Saxon conservatism.
The great Frenchman-for he is great
as an idealist, thus defines freedom:
"Freedom to go and come, freedom to asso-
ciate freedom to possess, freedom to speak and
to write, freedom to think, freedom to love,
freedom to believe-all these liberties would
form panoply around the citizens sheltered by
them and become invioable."
Now, we enjoy all these privileges, fran
chises, and liberties in this country, and yet
women are not allowed to vote. But the
French poet and politician thinks that the
extension of suffrage to women is essential to
liberty.
But there are other points in this address OF
the great Frenchman that challenge severe
criticism. He is evidently more of the Poet
than the statesman. He dreams bright dreams
that he thinks may be realized-dreams to full
FIJI which, all the French Patriots in all the
French Revolutions have bathed France with
blood.
French Philosophers, the most learned OF
all, and French Patriots, the sincerest of all,
have one thing to learn. 1t is that they have
to take human nature as it is. They cannot
mplish impossibilities. They cannot pluck
the moon or the stars from the heavens. They
can no more extract rational freedom from
licentious liberty, than from grinding despot-
ism.
The address of Victor Hugo abounds in
eloquence and poetry. We might quote many
sentiments of that character. Wewill content
ourselves with one He says:
Progress is the very stride of God"
But even here he commits what all his revo-
lutionary predecessors have committed. He
forgets that progress in the best cause has
limit. All human things have a limit. If
Frenchnen would observe this law of limit,
they would accomplish far more for the free
dom of their country, than they ever have
accomplished.
A revolution must be sensible, well consid-
cred and conservative revolution-or it will
end in barren bloodshed, and fixed despotism.

Know-nothingIsm and Slavery.

att is understood that the scarlet degree
binds the Know-nothings who take it to ignore
the slavery question, north and south, and vote
for every candidate put in nomination by the
regular secret machinery. Senator Wilson has
proved that he has taken this red degree.
What a poor soul a citizen Of this free country
must have, to shackle himself with such Jesuit
oathsl How intensely that old party hack
must love office and distinction, who swallows
all his previous declarations, acknowledges
himself political knave, and rivals the clown
of the ring in the agility with which he can
some of the members of the secret order must
despise some Of the political traders whom they
