says that he would evidently rather preside

THE LEADER OF EUROPE.

If Americans have become thoroughly out
of patience with Louis Napoleon it is because
they believ in constitutional government, a
rule Of law, and freedom of speech and the
press The French Emperor once pretended to
hold these beliefs, and secured his election as
President Of the Republic by taking solemn
oath to be true to the Republic, to freedom
and popular rights. Soon afterwards, by
means of debauched army, he became the
assassin Of liberty, and France during the
last eighteen years has had no Law but the
arbitrary and despotic will Of this enthroned
murderer, Free discussion has been stopped,
newspapers suppressed, and the advocates Of
reform have been driven into exile or cast
into prison. Napoleon has thrown off all
disguise and has become Caesar in theory
as well as practice. His capital has been
gay'-.the headquarters Of gambling, de-
hatchery and every gilded crime. His mis-
tresses and bastard children have shame
lessly been recognized, and he has made of
Paris Sodom. So successful has this great
criminal been that honest men had be-
gun to believe that vice, falsehood and
sensuality were not offensive to earthly or
divine rulers. Paris was never SO gay,
moral laws never SO lax, the sterling virtues
never in such i'll repute. The people were
fa,tered, the army kept pleased, and the
foundations of popular liberty undermined
There seemed to be no end to the successes
Of this new Caesar. He aimed to rule Europe
and America. When the rebellion broke
out in this country it found its best friend in
the sensual despot of France. He gave it
his good will and he sent soldiers to Mexico
to take advantage of our calamities and to
march upon our soil If the occasion offered.
He kept the Pope on his throne in spite of
the wishes of the people Of Italy, and he at
tempted to dictate King for Spain. His
ambition WIS boundle~, and, wherever he
made move it was to demoralize, debauch,
corrupt aud rob the people never to elevate
them and fit them to be sef-respecting citi-
zens. The rule Of Louis Napoleon in France
has been as base and Infamous rs the rule Of
the Slave Power in this country. God de-
eided that; our tyrant should 81 down in
blood, and the people of the whole world
rejoiced. We cannot doubt that the same
fate is to follow the European tyrant. Long
enough has he blocked the path of progress.

Hardly a single negro voted in Galloway

Of the election, but the current of talk be!

voters tina, they had better stay away from
