depriying it of all force and all initiative. They
lay hold of a word borrowed by me from the
Emperor Napoleon l., and confound instability
with progress. The Emperor, in declaring the
necessity for the progressive improvement of
human Institutions, meant that the only lasting
changes were those which are the work of time,
brought about by the improvement of public
manners. Those Improvements flow from the
moderation OF passions, and not from unreason-
able notifications Of our fundamental laws.
What advantage would there be in resuming
on one day that which we had rejected the day
before 7 The Constitution Of 1852. submitted
to the acceptance of the people, has under
taken to found Il system reasonable and wisely
based upon a st equilibrium of the different
powers of the State. 1t keeps at an equal dis
lance from two extreme situations. With one
Chamber holding within itself the fate of Min
listers, the Executive is without authority and
without spirit. Again, it is without control if
the elective Chamber Is not independent and in
possession of legitimate prerogatives. Our con
stitutional forms, which have a certain analogy
with those of the United States, are not deftc-
tive simply because they differ frem these of
England. Each people should have institutions
which are cOntOrmablO to It's genius and to its
traditions. 1t IS true that every Government
has It's defects but, in glancing over the past.
| am rejoiced, at the end of ii years, TO find
France respected abroad and tranquil at home,
without political c%aptiyes in her prisons, with
out eXiles beyond her frontiers. The nation
has during eighty years sufficiently discussed
theories of Government. Is it not now more
useful to seek practical means for improving
the moral and material condition of the people
Let Us, then, employ ourselves in spreading
abroad sound economical doctrines, the love Of
good and religious principles. Let us seek to
resolve by the freedom of transactions the diff
fcult problem OF the just distribution of produc-
tive forces, and let us endeayour to improve
the conditions of labour in our fields and in our
Workshops. When all Frenchmen now invested
with political rights shall have been enlightened
by education they will discern the truth without
difficulty, and will not allow them selves to be
seduced by deceptive theories; when all those
who live by their daily toll shall be convinced
Of the increasing benefits which are procured
by assidu0us labour, they will be the firm sup
porters of a society which insures their we'll
being and their dignity finally, when all shall
have received from their childhood those princi-
plies of faith and morality which elevate man in
his own eyes, they will know that above all
human intelligence, above the efforts of science
and of reason, there exists Il Supreme Will
which regulates the destinies Of individuals, as
it does those of nations.

Rev. DR.. James T. Johnston, former pastor
OF St. Paul's Episcopal Church, in this place,
preached in that church, yesterday, one Of the
most eloquent and impressive sermons, that it
has been our pleasure to hear for long time,
and hard must have been the heart and caIlous
the soul that was not touched and sottened by
bis impressive appeal. What recollections
must have crowded upon the memory OF the
speaker, as he stood there, in his old accuston-
ed place. and spoke to so many Of his old
flock, and yet how his heart must have sadden-
ed when he reflected, that there were SO many
absent-so many that have gone to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns to that
Paradise so beautifully depicted: as prepared for
the people Of God.
Mr.. Johnston has come back 10 his home to
spend the remainder Of his days among those
by whom he is so loved and esteemed and may
the hand of time deal gently with him, and
spare him for loog life Of happiness and pros
perity and continued usefulness in the cause OF
Christ
