strength of the Liberal part OF the nation IL found in
the triennial elections In little over two years
now the majority of the rural Senators will have to
be reelected, and probably not one of those who
outvoted the Washington bill Will be returned.
This simply makes Of patience the sole saving virtue
of modern France. The Marshal behaving Loyalty,
the Chamber of Deputies keeping its temper, and
the Ministry remaining in office, there is nothing
necessary say to wait. The Senate will have
lcssened itself, but the Republic will have gained
universal appreciation and credit.
