Genoa would msana regency-that is, a
Dictatorship in disguise; and Portugal
and Carsignano are too stiff and at the
same time too comfortable, to stop to pick
up a crown, were it ever SO loyalty and
obsequiously laid at their feet. More
over, all Spanish Princes and Bourbons,
and all foreign Princes are sure to speak
'broken English" The objection to
Montpensier, for instance, that after &c
years. residence in this country, he still
can make no distinction between the
sound of GAIA IA box) and jaca "a Jacket,
but gives both words an utterance which
is neither one nor the other, but cores
ponds to third word of an altogether
different meaning. Let no one make
light of these trifes. / have heard the
King of Denmark, prince in every re-
spect worthy the love of his subjects,
read his speech from the throne, and the
audience murmured around me as if the
King committed high treason, simply
because he gave the Scandinavian words
the slightest possible touch of his native
Teutonic accent.
1t is said that the enemy of mankind
is never at loss to supply mischief for
unemployed hands, but goes to European
societies, Republicanism can find no
better field to play his antics in than an
unoccupied Throne. The mere fact that
it was difficult to propose King, gave
rise to the dangerous suggestion of mo
King" The Republicans were an OBJ
ject of pity and contempt three months
ago; but they have managed to turn the
laugh against their adversaries. The
first experiment of plebicite has just
been made. The result of the elections
of the Municipal councils are not fully
known, yet, while official kilograms sing
the victories of the Monarchical party,
the discussion contends, that 'agreeably
to its own private information" the
Republicans have carried the day in most
of the provinces. We need not
rely on the correctness of Republican
reports, neither should we swear by the
Bulletins of the Government authorities;
indeed, the wiset thing we can do is to
disbelieve both. The sphere of muni-
cipal corporations. is limited to the va
rious localities. There never will be
an opportunity tor practical trial OF
strength between the two hostile parties;
we shall consequently never know
] whether blue or red is the prevailing
color. Municipal bodies will, however,
exercise considerable influence on Par
liamentary elections, and when we have
here the courts (if we ever do have them)
we shall be able to count heads, and to
know right from left. In the meantime,
however, we cannot blind ourselves to
the fact, that Republicism has sprung
up like mushroom in single night !;
that there are now two parties where
there was only one; that one of them,
in some measure, knows what it is
about, and recruits its ranks out of the
rank and file of its adversaries, who
know not what they want.
