replied that they included the associations IN
the departments which the committee had
affiliated.
1t was easy for 80 eminent speaker as Jules
Favre to demolish the arguments Of the prosecu-
ton. To show how the law Of 1884, by which
the accused were tried. had always been under.
stood, he referred to the testimony Of Guizot,
the leading French statesman at that time, who
declared not only that he had formed part of an
organisation, which was complete in itself, with
o treasury aud subscribers, but that he glored
in tho object Of the association. He read an &C.
count of an electoral banquet at the head Of
which were Drouyn de- Lhuys, the present
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbatucci and
Cambacercs, both leading men Of the Napo-
leonic party. So great was the impression pro-
duced by this speech, that NJ. Berger, and his
associate counsel for the defence deemed it
unnecessary to add anything to it. Berger
expressed his hopes that no judge would DO
found In oil France after such defence TO find
tho accused guilty.
In this hope, however, he was mistaken. The
defendants were fined five hundred francs each,
with COSTS The Liberal Opposition, by this In
depreciation of French law, are informed that no
concerted action for opposing the Government
candidates will honceforth DO allowed. The
organization of an Opposition Party Is made
and every electoral district will have
to act for itself alone.
The French press cannot tell us how the peo-
pie of France receive this new affront. They
cannot even speak Of this last violation OF the
law with even that freedom which was allowed
them under the Bourbons, and under Louis
Philippe. Whatever indignation and excite
ment there may exist among the people, it must
cloak itself with secresy. On the surface, eV'
erything appears to be quiet, and Louis Napoleon
may well boast, that hd has succeeded where all
preceding Governments failed-M ourbing the
revolutionary spirit of the most revolutionary
country Of Europe.
But the fire that smolders beneath the ashes
is fire for all that, and will break forth again
in due time. The spirit Of Liberty is not yet
extinct in France. All the leading minds OF
French society are opposed to tho Emperor; so
are the higher schools; so are the populations
of the large towns, and nearly all the working
mon. Imperialist opinions arc not making any
progress; on the contrary, they are yisibly
losing ground in every city. Such despotic acts
as this trial of GARNER Pages and Carnot, are
certainly not calculated to change tho current
of public opinion.

We print on another page letter from
Conservative Georgian advocating system oil
Gradual Emancipation as one Of the bases OF
Peace and Reunion in accordance with Presi-
dent Lincolu's suggestions. We are assured
that such Emancipation would be widely accept
able to the People of the now insurgeni
States who earnestly desire Peace under condi
tons that will afford the fullest securities against
the recurrence OF such a conflict as now
desolates our country. Earnestly desiring such
a Peace, we gladly accord publicity to whatever
NAV seem calculated to hasten it, without in
ssting that it shall accord in all things with our
own convictions. e-Union-Liberty-
Rights for ALI excluding invidious Privileges for
Any--such is our programme Of "reconstruc'
tion," which we shall rejoice TO see realized
piece-meal, if it cannot DO oil at once. Under
standing and believing that our desire
for Peace on terms honorable and benefi.
cent to all concerned arc widely and heartily
refrigerated at the South, We call attention To
our Georgia correspondents letter, which We
regard as a suggestion from the right quarter,
that it is high time that the exchange Of shells
and bullets between the North and the South
were replaced by that of arguments and con-
siderations contemplating their common good.

following neat little speech
''MY FRIENDS After staying ei-hteen
years in this country | have repeatedly
asked myse what was the difference be-
tween the institutions Of the Old World
and those Of America and ha found
the answer in a few words In Europe,
everything is done TO pTeser and mann
tim the prerogatives OF the few; in Amer
inl everything is don to MAKE ii man of
him who has any Of the elements of man
hool in him (Crie~ Of Good, and chcers)
Now, gentlemen, the fate Of these insti-
tu:icns is in your hands On Tuesday
next you will decide whether they are to
be perpetuated fore pr to help Europe
throw off tyranny and reform its iIlbcral
institutions and to bring them up to the
standpoint of our liberal institutions To
do that, believe me, there Is only one way
hold on to those who have defended
those institutions manluliy. re-elect those
who have repealed the Assault Of armed
foes against them, and those who have de-
Tended vour rights in Congress, and you
