AND GARDENER'S JOURNAL. 



io;t 



sent t" the election of lh«- Duke to the execu- 

 tive office, according to the forma of monarchy, 

 but he put bis own hand boldly and effectively 

 to the work. He was honest and he was in 

 earnest. He alone could repress the rising re- 

 publican spirit of the nation, and make it give 

 place to another order of things Ha lent his 

 influence to this effect fearlessly, and there 

 cannot be a doubt, that to him more than any 

 other man, perhaps more than all other men. 

 the King of the French owes it that he is now 

 \vearing"his crown in peace and quietness — 

 Of this, Philip and his family are too well a- 

 ware and too generous, not to take pride in 

 making the acknowledgment. 



When, however, in this way, and by so much 

 sacrifi ce, order had been restored, and the pro 

 visional Government, in one branch after an 

 other of the public administration of affairs, 

 was living way to a more settled and constitu 

 tional order of things, it was quite natural that 

 the friends of rational liberty should hold opm 

 ions on the details, widely differing from these 

 of thorough monarchists and absolutists. Be- 

 cause they were willing to submit, for the sake 

 of strength, that the executive office should be 

 hereditary, (always retaining the rightof elec- 

 tion in cases of exigency) it did not tollow thai 

 vhey should be satisfied with hereditary legis- 

 lation also. They thought it quite possible, 

 that republican institutions should exist with 

 a King as the executive chief of the state, but 

 they saw it was quite ridiculous to talk of a 

 government of the people, while hereditary 

 legislation existed. The Chamber of Peers of 

 course became obnoxious to this parly. The 

 doctrine of political equality, rightly under 

 stood, and which they desired to catry out in 

 the details of the Government as far as it was 

 practical, was a mere jest in the face of a body 

 of men who claimed to legislate for the people 

 by right of birth That Buch views were and 

 still are entertained by a powerful parly in 

 France, there can be no doubt That such sen- 

 timents should be held by one who had long 

 since renounced bis own hereditary title, and 

 with it his right to make laws for the people, 

 should not excite surprise in any mind. It is 

 certainly esteemed no secret here, that such 

 were and arc the opinions of Lafayette. 



There was, then, another important branch 

 of the Government, of which the General and 

 his son were both members, the Chamber of 

 Deputies, the existence of which, in its present 

 form, was thought by many to be incompatible 

 with the new condition of the state. The 

 members were elected under the old regime, 

 and although the Ministers of that dynasty 

 were shamefully beaten at the polls, yet in so 

 large a body, it was certain that there were 

 included not a few devoted Carlists. Besides, 

 the Chamber had come together, in aid merely 

 of the provisional Government, its co-operation 

 being required principally, if not meroly, in the 

 election of a chief. This work being accom- 

 plished, it was thought by many that its func- 

 tions onght to cease, as did the functions of 

 the few noble patriots who. sat for a few days 

 .n authority, at the H >tel de Ville. Of this 

 opinion was Gen. Lafayette, and the noble Du 

 Pont (de Leure). A majority of the Chambers, 

 liowever, resolved on holding on; and they 

 still continue their session, though amidst the 

 increasing clamours of a powerful party.— 

 There is certainly some plausibility in the rea~ 

 son which they principally urge ; which is the 

 necessity, before they dissolve themsolves, of 

 passing a law for the regulation of a new elec 

 lion, in the want of whir a, they say, the elec 

 lion must be held under the odious law of 

 Charles X To this it o, of course, answered 

 tbat no 6uch consequence would follow, be» 

 Cause the King, while every thing is yet new, 

 fa the proper authority from which 6Boald em- 

 anate an ordinance, conformably to the liberal 

 principles of the people, far the first popular 

 election nnder his government : leaving, of 

 Course, the details of a permanent law of elec 

 Irorjs to be fixed by the new Deputies, who will 



come from the people clothed with that and 

 other authority. 



In what I have now related, you will see the 

 cause of the temporary excitement and jeal 

 ousy which existed against Lafayette. This 

 was carried so far, that he was charged with 

 being at the head of a republican conspiracy. 

 The truth is, the General had become too pop- 

 ular with the people, and the envious resolved 

 to bring him down from his elevation. For 

 the good of his country, for the love of liberty, 

 and to preserve order, he made the voluntary 

 sacrifice of all his military power. In reeign- 

 nig the office of Commander-in chief of the 

 National Guards of the realm, it is well known 

 ihat he only anticipated, by a short period, 

 j vvhat it was his intention soon to do. In re!u- 

 ing to retain the command of the guards of 

 1 Paris, nt their and the King's entreaty, there 

 cannot be a doubt that he acted with his char- 

 acteristic prudence and wisdom, both foi him- 

 self and his country. The Minister of Justice, 

 the excellent Du Pont, followed hiin into re- 

 tirement. 



While there is, at present, every indication 

 that the Government of Louis Philipe will be 

 stable, at least foi a considerable period, it is 

 more than probable that emne important chan- 

 ges must occur. The Char ber of Deputies 

 must b« dissolved, before many weeks; and a 

 powerful effort will be made, as soon as things 

 can be arranged for the purpose, for the abo- 

 lition of hereditary legislation, by the perpet- 

 ual dissolution of the Chamber of Peers.
