Connected with this subject is the pleasant little incident at Stoke upon Trent ; where a few boys are working allotments under the Pbor Law Guardians , so well as \^ : i ^ mtril ^^ 6 n ^^» practicability of reproductive ^ p ifeji ^ ent aridt m ^ dustrial training . Assuredly from ^ tKe parish b ^ l y ^ at Hanley to the Edinburgh Review in the political library of the greak practical association is making such progress « ft& to consplethe Amalgamated for their present reverse .
Louis Bonaparte ' s headlong career of spoliation and violence is arrested for a moment by Mtfte , independence of the magistracy . The sword that strikes at justice bends or breaks . Even the lawless oath-breaker quails before the calm front of the Law . The intoxication of disordered ambition is sobered by the cold austerity of an intrepid tribunal . This declaration of competency to determine the legality of the confiscation de--crees is an example of reviving liberty , that will
shake Hapoleonism to its base . No threats had been spared to prevent the decision ; neither threats nor insults have been spared since by the guardians of Society to the majesty of the Law . But the thunder-bolt has fallen ; and embqldened by authority , opposition has shaken off the panic of December , and beards tyranny to its face . Here , there and " everywhere , hostility breaks out : in the veiy Chamber of Nominees , where the
majority are Legitimists : in the law courts , in the National Guard , in the municipalities , in the provinces , what the commissaries call " disorganization" prevails . Louis Bonaparte talks of falling back upon the working class : but we know hbw they received him the other day . The fact , the damning fact is , the absolute impotence < of the man for good , even were he disposed to do jristice His past acts , ¦ " sit upon his arm , and take away . the use on't . " . - .:
The Empire will be acclaimed , but not accepted , on the 10 th of May . In compliance with Russia , it will be referred once more to the gigantic falsehood of a Plebiscite . There will be the same machinery for getting 7 , 500 , 000 votes now as in December . A tragic fate sits On the brow of the man . His path is hemmed in by those who have betrayed , or who are ready to betray him j Derision or madness may crown hjinl for a ' motherit : but after the praetorian paroxysm , whatnext—a Restoration or a Terror ? , . ; ¦
But the cynical hypocrisy that masks the most flagrant corruption ! The man who enjoys the monopoly of the coulisses is determined tq . have none but moral and virtuous plays , performed at the theatres—the Juif Errant , for < instance , in which Heaven and Hell are literally brought upon the stage , and the curtain falls npori the Judgment Day ! There ' s a moral with a vengeance . And whilst Paris ( that is , the Paris" of authority ) is more corrupt and rotten than Babylon of old , private hate and personal vengeance are making a Tipperary of depopulated provinces . , <
The disputes of labour and capital are conciliated right royally by solitary confinement of the men to whom arbitration had been promised . All Germany , north and south , is in a commercial ferment—the south inclining to Austria , the north siding with Prussia . The issueof the struggle is likely to favour Free-trade , which Piedmont is cordially adopting . ' ' " " Sweet are the uses of adversity" — even to those who are prosperous . At first , the mind , is struck with horror at the sufferings , of the poor missionaries , starved to death in the wilds of Patagonia ; but scarcely has the first pale amazement passed , ere a cordial admiration'restored the pulse to the heart , and you see that it was noi all ^^ fyT fcv misery .
