n. ouIyIER's SPEECH on THE sENATUs con-
sULTUM-MPORTANT DECLARATION OF THE
GOVERNMENT RESPECTING THE PLEBISCITUM.
PARIS, Wednesday, April 2C-Evening.
In the Senate, to-day debate was continued on the
Sruaias- COnsultum. NJ Olivier wound up the dis
cussion with a long and brilliant speech. Referring
10 the Plebisctum, he said the Government did not
wish to extend the question; they only desired to
submit certain liberal notifications to the people.
They had no intention of submitting the principle on
which the State was founded, and of converting the
hereditary Empire into an elective Empire. But the
revolutionary party, obeying evil passions had
given another complexion to the debate. Ii the
revolutionary party wished to combat the Govern
ment, the Government would accept the challenge.
If the desire was 10 take revolutionary grounds the
Government would follow and outstrip its enemies.
NJ Olivier assured the Senate that whatever might
De- the result Of the struggle the Government would
not place itself on the track of reaction. He con-
tinued: "The Government and the Emperor viii re-
main what they now are-always generous, liberal,
and maCnanimous. 1t is peculiar to the Emperor to
be always advancing, never receding. The Govern
ment, in pursuing its work Of concilation, will
always hold out its hands to honest men. Let them
remember that Democracy and Liberty are not in
compatible with the Empire The triumph of
liberty through Government will be for the
sovereign, glory complete, and for the nations
security without a cloud"
This passage called from the Senators a salvo of
applause which was twice repeated. NJ. Olivier,
concluding said the Emperor still had the exclusive
night to prepare the formula of the Plebsctum. The
debate then closed, and the Senatus Consultum was
adopted by the Senate.
