From La Patrie-monarohicai paperl
It is the destiny OF nations to have az certain
moments q fatal resemblance to one another
Even those who diner in race. language and GUS
toms meet at given time on the same road lead
ing to the same end. This truth, which has been
amply proved by the philosophy Of history, has at
present new application. One has but to look to
the United States to be convinced Of 1t. There we
have surely the model Republic To listen to the
men belonging TO the French opposition the
American Republic is the model of all nations 1t
has but one end-liberty. Morality there is
purer than In any other part OF the world. The air
which one breathes there is-tO employ the
usual phrase OF those gentemen-'an air
impregnated with grandeur" The institutions
there are up to the height OF the men who created
them It is not In that privileged country that are
to be met monstrOus abuses OF power, Migrant
breaches OF law-tyrannical engines which in all
times have dishonored European monarchies.
Thus say the French republicans, not only the
violent radicals but also the moderate Left Centre
To believe them, the United States OF America had
suppressed permanent armies forced taxes-n
fact, all these Old-fashioned institutions OF the
world gone by. The free American Republic was
marching at the head OF progress.
BE 1t so. But let US be permitted to cast
glance at the nation which they are boasting
are indicating to the French nation the way of
salvation IN the republican form of government.
at this time 1T Is well to look little at the America
Of 1873, which IS only the phantom of the America
OF yore. The day Is not distant when Caesar will
rule on the other side OF the Atlantic. Let not the
republicans think this an exaggeration. glance
at the American journals will prove 1t. Open the
NEW YORK HERALD OF July 25 1873, and you will
read these lines EFT Is such men who have rem
dered possible CGsarism in Rome and who have
lowered the standard OF our morality. The ques-
ton that ought to engross our attention is, Shall
we have the C9sarism OF the Repubjic2 That Is
what interests US and our Children"
That article or the NEW YORK HERALD Is one OF
the most remarkable that has ever been published
and has terrible significance and 1t Is not the so
lated opinion Of single journal. The constant
and alabsorbing topic OF American journals, then,
Grant has already been elected twice President of
the United States. He VIII be elected third time.
Let not, however, this be considered as the result
OF universal suffrage, tor the party which has put
General Grant In power has the means to name its
own OvertureS.
The republican party Of the United States has
understood that decentralization Is always OPP
posed to the triumph OF Casarlsm, which it wants
to inaugurate. Hence at the present time it
is practising Capitalization on large scale.
The South Is treated as conquered country, so
much so that the NEW YORK HERALD, which Is,
however, anti-SOuthern in Its opinions, says with
regard TO that vanquished section, whence the re-
can lay hold on:-"IIet us be sure that In saving
the Union we have not added q Poland or an Ire
land to our States"
The United States have already their Poland
Very shortly they will be Russia.
Such are the events that are passing in free
curity OF citizens The government, as the last
sort, decides everything, the public affairs as well
| as the private. To make itself obeyed 1t has the
| bay0nets OF soldiers.
