we may say that peoples aud kings have
10th comet 6 do honor to tie efforts OF
labor and crown themib their presence
with ideas Of coneiIIsfion and peace.
Indeed, in these great assemblies, which
appear to have no other object tkan-ma-
.terial Interests, a moral sentiment al
ways disengages itself from the .coEnps-
tition Of intelligence, q sentiment OF
concord and CIVILIZATION, and the ma
lions 10 thus drawing near earR 70 know
and-esteem each other. Hstreds Arelex-
-inguished, and the truth becomes more
evident that the Prosperity of eaeh
country eCutrih0tes to the prosperity rf
all. The exhibition of1s6T may Justly be
termed universals for itlunites the BE
mentsO of ali the riches of the globe~sde
9yside With the latest Imprevements in
modern art appear the products Of the
-remOtest ages, 90 that they represent at
n and the same time the genius OF all
ages aud nations. 1t Is UNIVERSAL Tor In
addition 20 the mRrvels which luxury
brings for the few, 1t displays also that
demanded by their necessities for the
many. The interests of the laboring
classes never Aroused more lively sOlicf
tude. Their moral and material wants,
education, conditions of life IS a cheap
rate Of living, by the most productive
combination Of association! have been
the objects Of patient inquiries and serious
study. Thus all improvements march
forward, II science by farming matter
to account liberstes labor, the eultiva-
ton Of the mind by subduing vices pre-
walls over the vulgar passions and hber-
sees humanity. Let us congratulate
ourselves, gentlemen, upon having re-
ceived among US the majority Ofthe sove-
reigns and princes OF Europe, and 50
May other distinguished VISITORS Let
Us be probd6f having Shown that France,
as she is great, is prosperous and free.
One must be destitute Of all patriotic
faith who doubts her greatness, and
must close his eyes to the evidence who
denies her prosperity. He must misun-
derstsnd vi institutions, tolerate sven
% license, NOT 70 behold 10 them liberty.
Foreigners have been able 70 s~pp-eeiate
this. France, formerly ~disquieted and
casting out her uneasiness beyond her
fr8utisrs is labaHOBsaud calm. Always
fertile in generous ideas, she is turning
her genius 10 the most diverse marYels,
never allowing herself to be enervated
by material enjoyment. Attentive
minds will have OWNED that, notwith-
standing the development Of its wealth,
Notwithstanding the eRticements to-
wards prosperity, the fibre Of the nation
is always ready TO vibrate as soon as a
question Of honor Of the country
sFises,; but b i s-noble susceptibility
could not be subject for alarm, for repOse
would let those who lived a short time
among US, q home just opinions Of
the country. l feel persuaded that the
sentiments Of esteem and sympathy we
entertain toward foreign nations, and
our sincere desire to live at peace with
thena, will be ~recipr0csted. thGnk the
imperial commissioners, members Of the
jury and the different committees for
their intelligent zeal in the accomplish
meut Of their tasks. f-.D
Hope the exhibition of 1857 will mark
& new era Of harmony and progress,
assured that Providence .blesses the
efforts Of all who, like US, desire to- DO
good. I believe in the definitive tri-
umph Of the great principles Of morality
and justice, which, while satisfying all
legitimate desires, are alone able to con-
sOlidate thrones, elevate nations, and
ennOble humanity.
