me, when | sought to show you what was
about to happen. Let that recollection
persuade you 10 listen now. The principal |
demand of the government has been con
ceded. My conscience tells me fulfill
duty in resisting impudent passions repre-
senting liberty. The country is interested
in this for you. To break |
peace on a mere question of sus,
ceptibility, you are shedding torrents of
blood for q question of form. If l had the !
honor to govern my country, | should have
wished to give it time for reflection. re-
mark, this war is an imprudence and its &C
cession is i'll chosen, after dispatches upon |
which declaration of war Was made, had
been repeatedly demanded and as often
refused"
Olivier said, al will read two dispatches
but not signatures, for our agents would be
sent away" He then read part OF one
dispatch confirming the refusal of King
William to receive the French am bssssdor,
and two dispatches from French agents
abroad giving the substance of Bismark's
circular The circular itself, Nj. Olivier
did intend to produce. He concluded by
saying, ave go to war with light hearts and
confidence in our army. We will tell
the whole truth. What We could
not endure was the semi otficis
communication to all Europe of the rejection
of our ambassador, all the LnS-e significant
because done in most courteous terms.
Theirs replied TO Olivier its not blunder
that we owe the war Prussia ought TO have
been attended 20 when she desired to unite
the German states, then war would have
been legitimate and we should have been
sustained. The world demands
! legitimate complsinsnts, Prussia also
has committed great fault
fault in negotiating with Spain, yet Prussia
wished peace aud we have war, if We had
still to require RECOMMENDATION Hohenzall
| ern's csndidature should still be with you,
/ but now that we have obtained that we de-
mand something else, you had not only
obtained your result but you had form and
substance both, yet you say Prussia has not
Welded in form, and we have been insulted.
/ Public opinion will turn against us and
the journals of Europe will be against us,
/ if Prussia never would have resumed this
candidature it would have been madness.
