It was held in execration; there was immi
nent danger, if not absolute certainty; that
the attempt to organize a Republic would
have been the signal for a new civil war.—
The (Milli of it Republic, too, was hateful to
all the neighbors of France; to the Confi•d
eracy of Emperors and Kings, which had
twice re placed the Bourbons, upon the
throne, and who might be propitiated under
the disappointment and mortification of the
result, by the retention of the name of King,
and the substitution of the semblance of a
Bourbon air the reality.

the persen of Louis Phillippe, of Orleans.
LaNyette himself was compelled to com
promiee with his principles, purely and sim
ply republican, and to accept him, first as
Lieutenant General of the Kin , dotn. and
then as hereditary King. There was, per
haps; in this determination, besides the mu . -
lives which operated upon others, a consid

the Chief Magistracy could be delegated on..

only have been for a short term of years..—

country, in which the position which he
would have occupied might have involved '

cast, who upon his demise, could be his sue
cessor? and what must be the position occu
pied by him? If, at that moment, he ha
hut spoken the word, he might have closed
his career with a Crown npon his head, and
with a withering blast upon h:s name to the
end of time.
With the Duke of Orleans himself, he
used no concealment or disguise. When
the Crown was offi.red to that Prince, and
he looked to Lafayette for consultation,"you
know (said he) that I am of the American
Arlan:9l, and partial to the Constitution of the
United States." So, ifieems, was Louis
Phillippe. "I think with you," said he.—
"It is impossible to pass two years in the U.
States, without being convinced that their
Government is the best in the world. But
do you think it suited to our present circum
stances and condition'?" No, replied Lafav
ette. They require a Monarchy surround•
ed by popular institutions. So thouoht,
Louis Phillippe; and he accepted the Cram!
under the conditions upon which it was ten
dered to him.
Lariyette retained the command of th-
National Guard an long as it was essential
to the settlement of the new order ofthings,
on the basin ()fouler and of freedom; so lon,'
as it was ess'•ntial to control the stormy an
excited pa ions of the Parisian People; so
low, as was necessary to save the Ministers
id the twilty but fallen Monarch from the
rash and revengeful resentments of their
conquerors. When this was accomplt.hed,
and the People had been preserved from the
calamity of shedding in peace the blond of
war, he once more resigned his command,
retired in privacy to La Grange, and re
sutnad his post of Deputy in the Legislative
Assembly, which he confirmed to hold till
the close of life.
His stntion there was still at the head of
the phalanx, supporters of liberal principles
and of constitutional freedom. In Spain, in
Portik!al. in Italy, and *Oiler all, in Rlland,
the elut.e of liberty has linen struggling against

In his last illness, the standing which he held

eighteenth and nineteenth centuries of the Chri..

qualities. so little alloyed with those which belong
to that earthly vesture of decay to which the im.

Pronounce him one of the first men of his age,
and you have yet not done hiin justice. Try him
by that teat which he sought in vain to stimulate
the vulgar and selfish spirit of Napoleon; class
him among the men who, to compare and neat

that higher and happier condition, the object of

Lafayette discovered no new principle of poli
tics or of moral.. He invented nothing in science.
He disclosed no new phenomenon in the laws of
nature. Born and educated in the highest order
of feudal Nobility, under the (mist eh-elute Mon.

the Patriarch was not long enough for the devel.
opoinent of his whole political system. Its fin,rl
accomplishment is in the womb of time.
The anticipation of this event lathe more cer
lain, from the consideration that all the principles
for which Larnyette contended were practical.—
He never indulired himself 111 wild and IlleCifel
speculations. the principle of hereditary power
was, in his opinion, the bane of all republican lib
tirty in Europe thimble to extinguish it in the
Revolution of 1830, so far as concerned the Chief'
Magistracy of the ,Nation, Lafiyette had the otitis.
feetien of seeing it abolished with reference to the
Peerage. An hereditary Crown, ntript of the
support which it may derive from an hereditary
Peerage, however compatible with Asiatic despo
tism, is an anomaly in the history of the Christian
world, and in th.. theory of free Government.—
There is no areument producible against the ex
istence of an hereditai y Peerage, but applies with
aggravated weight egainet the transmission, trran
sire to son, of an hereditary Crown. The preju
dices and passion. of the People of France rejec
ted the principle of inherited power, in every sta
lion of public trust, excepting the first and highest
of their] ell; but there they clung to it, as did the
Israelites of old to the savory deities of Egypt.
This is not the time or the place fur a disquisi
tion upon the comparative merits, us a system of
government. of a hepublic, and a Monarchy sur

ultimate result can only bring them to the point
where we have stood from the day of the Declare
tion of Independence—to the point where Lsiiiy
ette would have brought them, and to which he
looked as a consummation devoutly to be wished.
Then, too, and then only, will be the time when
the character of Lafityette will be appreciated at
its true value throughout the civilized world.—
W hen the principle ot hereditary dominion shall
be extinguished in all the institutions of France;
when Government shall no longer be considered

THP: SCHOOL LAW—How rT WORKS.—
We copy the following from the Gettysburg
Compiler of Tuesday last. "It speaks vo
lumes" in favor of a t,•cneral system of edit.
cation: and that the present school law "eau
he made satisfactory to a majority of cittsens
of the State.and to bear equally on all classes
of the community, without oppressing any,"
we have not a doubt.—Harrisburg Chron.
"Schools have now been taught in this
borou l l , h for about three weeks, under the
provisions of the new law—and we believe
he number of children attendinw is at least
one fourth greater than it would have been
under the old system. So far, therefore as
general education is concerned, the new
.ystem would appear to be an improvement,
and should be sustained—provided the law
can be made satisfictory to a majority of
the citizens of the State, and to bear equally
on all classes of the community, without op
pressing any."
