THE GENITAL DIRECTORY"
In view OF the statements of Governor Brovnlow,
and Its corroboratons borne to us by every mail from
the South, may l not inquire whether Andrew
johnson is in his true place. "i traitors should take
back seat IN the work of restoratOnl" In view of
his Berfidious abandonment OF the Union Of the
South, do not his dePuncatlons of Congress remind
you Of Louis Napoleon's cry that the Congress OF
France had become hOt-bed of plots ana conspira-
clesI And has he, under tho tuition of his new
friends been studying the history of revolutionary
France, that he denounces the joint Committee on
Reconstruction, composed as it is of fifteen of the
puTest statesmen the country, irresponsible
central drectoryH That phrase recalls TO mind the
incidents Of the 18th Brumaire. He should have
known his countrymen better than to have referred
to such On example!

France was IN Genital Directory. The condition
of the country, find IT IN Theirs, reminds us OF
that of the unhappy South. He says, after referring
to the victories OF Mount Tabor and Aboukir, 81 he
greatest perils were not without, but within. The
dIsorganized Government, unruy parties which
would not submit to authority, and which, never
thNless, were not strong enough to possess them
selves of it-a kind Of social dissolution everywhere
and robbery sign of that dissolution infesting the
high roads, especially in provin ces formerly torn by
civil war-such was the state OF the republic"
ANOTHER msToR1cAL PARALLEL
When on the 18th of October, Napoleon, fresh
from the expedition to Syra found his way secretly

whom he arranged that he should be presented TO

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.
The leaders of all the parties of France visited him
in turn "Iwo principal parties" says Thiers "and
q third, subdivision of the two others, offered them
selves to him, ana were disposed to serve him ii he
patriots, the moderates, and lastly the pourris as
they called, the rotten of all times, and OF all

Office holders who having been fierce Republicans,
proclaim themselves ''tne trends OF Andrew john

striving TO make their fortune, who had dshonored
themselves in making It, and who were still bent on
making II at the same price. These followed Barras
and Fouche, the minister of police. Among them
were men of all sOrts-Jacobins, moderates, and
even royalists" The be-forgotten meeting
in 1ront OF the Executive Mansion on the 22d OF
February, confirms, most str1kingy, the fact that
history NOT only repeats ITSELF but does ii with
racy Of detail 1t said that "BOnapaTte felt hor

He, therefore, shrunk from personal contact with
the po1ris and repulsed them until their leaders
became absolutely necessary TO his purposes.
