Louis Napoleon ana an Aneri-
can Parallel.


The indianapolis Journui, the Radical or
gan of Indiana has an article headed the
Modern Janus" which is intended to be
severe upon Louis Napoleon. One Of its
counts against him is as follows:
"Tho second item shows the imperial author
OF the LIE gJutius Ctrsdr to bc really tyrannical
and unprincipled. II proves him n coward "
well as II knavc. IL reads thus
"a SENSITIVE MONARCH.
"The New York Times, of June lG, was sup
pressed by the French postal authorities by
order Of the Emperor, and not one Of its sub
scribcrs In France could get "A copy OF either The
daily or sem-weclsly issue To see what was the
matter. On reference to our file of the Times we
the most nervous ofgovcinmcnts would think
worth notice II Is suggested by the suppression
the two sous subscription for Mrs: Lincoln IN
France, and after com mpassiOnatng Napoleon II |
for the i'll success of his Lye of CUs0r, and the
unpleasant affair with Prince jerome, remarks
1--WE doubt very much whether there Is an
other government in the world which would
consider itself endangered by the collection of
II penny subscription to widow living near the
extremity of civilization. There could hardly
be a better commentary on the futility of the
efforts which have been made during the last
fifteen years to found Napoleonic dynasty in
France, than the fact that It still trcmblcs be-
fore the collection ofa few hundred sous for the
family of AN Illinois rail-spittcr.'"
Louis Napoleon is ''tyrannical, unprinci-
pied, coward and knavc," because he
has suppressed one number of foreign pa
per in his country that attacked his govern
ment. This language comes with bcauti-
ful grace from journal which was the es-
pecial admirer of the Administration of
Lincoln, which suppressed and destroyed
more newspapers than all the monarches Of
Europe have suppressed in hafa century .
The Journal is quick to denounce abroad
what it sustains at home. If the suppress
sion of one paper makes man a coward
and knave,' what are we to think of the
Republican demigod who suppressed hun
dred? 3t.
We say that no paper which has been 81
lent, or has approved the destruction Of the
freedom of the American press, has any
right to denounce its suppression in Europe.
American papers are almost every week
suppressed for less cause even than the
New York Times was in France Read the
following dispatch from North Carolina:
"Major General Rugcr, commanding the De-
partmcnt of North Carolina, by an order dated
| the 2lst instant, has suspended the publication
ofthe Daily Union Banner, published At salisbury
ments
"rhere are several newspapers, which have
recently appeared in different parts of the state
of the same stamp, which will doubtless be sup
pressed by General Ruger as they are publishing
disloyal sentiments of the most dangerous
"The Fayetteville Daiy Nc,cs is one of this
| number. 1t says that the people Of this state
willstultify and degrade themselves by adopting
the constitutional amendment aboishing sla.
! very, and that the new state Convention must
leave slavery where they found it, as it existed
before the war"
The Fayetteville Ne,cs is to besuppresseG
, for simply opposing, in legitimate way,
proposed amendment to the Federal Consti
tuition, which every citizen has as mucl
right to oppose as approve. As matter o
fact, nearly one-half of the people of the
North, and nearly all the people of the
South oppose it, and they constitute two
States. For acting with this majority the
paper is to be suppressed. -Cm Enquiyor
