      The Great Man Has Spoken ; France, Throu...

      bitterly and cruelly , is distrust , if not hatred , of the present Emperor . It is well that Paris particularly should realize the state of affairs ; that those whose whole life is one mad pursuit of pleasure , who dance the cancan , and rush to see the drama in deshabille , should know that they are doing all this under the shadow of a volcano ^ the eruption of which is imminent , and in whose fiery streams of lava they will be destroyed , unless they take warning in time . Tyrants have always found in the apathy of satisfied sensuality their greatest support . They drug their victims , who then become their unresisting prey . The careless scoffer , the jaded voluptuary , the feverish debauchee may care little what course political events take , so long as they are left to their enjoyments . But when the mind and heart of a nation are fairly roused , the struggle is never doubtful between tyranny and liberty . The mere slaves of appetite and bondsmen of pleasure have only the choice between reformation and destruction . They are soon trampled under foot . But they hamper the hands of Right , without being any real support to Wrong . It is for them to consider whether the end is worth the cost .
