articles fun OF highnown ideas. Its argument has
been that because no government has ever been
oDeyed with so little opposition as that OF General
Grant, the country was threatened, through Its
own acquiescence with q third election OF the
same President and the burial of American
liberties under the throne Of an Emperor. This
argument especially directed against the I'M
movable grasp upon the high public functions by
corrupt oligarchy, has been taken up with much
zeal by the journals above-mentioned-one OF which
rs inspired by the legltimists, while the other il
owned by the Bonapartists-in order to make cap-
tai against republican institutions in general and
against the French Republic in particular. The
following are the comments by the Gaulots:--

America, very curious event9 The empire

we must warn our countrymen against premature
conclusions. The empire is not yet ''made" in the
United States. and republican institutions have
yet here some roots. We do not pretend to deny
that there Is certain number of monarchists on
this side Of the Atlantic We believe even, as has
been stated in the HERALD In the article in ques-
ton, ''that there are more than twenty citizens
ready to o1fer the crown TO General Grant" But
before those twenty citizens will have made prose-
lytes enough to present to the world the example
