Frenchmen srs 10 more fit to exercise the
privileges and freedom of a republican torn of
government than the negroes of this country.
Liberty as they exercise it is the most obnox
ious form of tyranny. Their Injustice and cru
city toward their religious communities are
crimes at which despot would revolt. 1t is
probatls from the way they are now conducting
themselves that imperialism will soou be re-
established in France. and the sooner the better,
unless they learn to appreciate liberty properly
and to behave themselves accordinply.
