| President Mc1Iahon, in a Conversation
Nj h a oarrseass.sasa.ss rual govern
ment of the country is now vested in the min
istry and am firmly convinced that the only
Change which they will introduce into the re-
public will be to carry out the programme
which the late government proved itself inca
pable of doing We are not so impolitic as to
take any steps similar to those taken by the
empire, but ev0 Thing that can be done to
insure proper Afety and necessary liberties
| of all shall be done It is directly against the
| interests of Italy to expel the pope from his
dominions for were he obliged to take refuge
in foreign country. Catholics of all the world
| would unite in carrying shame against Italy. |
/ and public opinion would be excited against
/ the italian government to such an extent that
not only would our interference become com
pulsory. but it might also become the signal
| for European war, from which Italy has lit
tie to hope and everything to fear In ac-
cepting the presidency, did not look into the
future but only to the right and left of me,
where I saw men of every shade of political
| opirion ready to tear each other to Peices, and
lead crowd of ignorant electors to do as
much. The necessity of saving the army, our
only hope for the maintenance OF our country
in the rank to which it belongs, out of this
hideous scramble for power and profit, was the
uppermost thought in my mind when the Of
fer of the presidency was made to me. To
recognize the army and make it the bulwark
of French liberty, ought to be the aim of
every true Frenchman. There is ne reason
why the present regime in its amended con-
stitutionAl form, with military executive who
should reign over the country sTS rule over
the army should not be established in France |
When the words empire and republic are syn
sonymous with dicipline, every citizen a sol
dier and every soldier the servant Of the re-
public, there viii be as little strife and wrang
ling in the country as to who shall be foreign
minister, as there is now as to who shall be !
marshal.
