      Government Has Its Disadvantages. If Bro...

      He has changed in everything save the one great object of his life , his own aggrandisement . The Republic of 1848 , after it had made him its President , was swept away to make room for the Empire of 1851 . Despotism has given way to Constitutional Government only to be superseded by Despotism . Even England has not been sure of his support or friendship . It must not be forgotten that his warlike words found an echo in the Volunteer movement . Had he not threatened England Briggs , at this very moment , would be neglecting the defence of Lower Tooting , and Upper Clapton would not have secured the gallant Hopkins as a guard ( very nearly ) to the death ! He has played fast and loose with Austria , Italy , and Rome . His friendship is as disastrous to his friends as his enmity to his foes . To us his friendship has meant the disaster of the Crimea , the fiasco of Mexico ; to Italy , national bankruptcy ; to the Pope , loss of peace ; to the Emperor Maximilian , loss of life ! If we regard his career dispassionately , if we separate the gold from the dross , we shall find little to admire , and even less to applaud . His one panacea for the ills of his people has been blood . He quieted the Republicans with blood ! He satisfied the Army with blood ! Every blunder that he has ever made he has striven to wash out with blood ! In fact , so often has he revelled in blood that we are not at all surprised to learn , after reading his history , that in his youth he was a constant visitor at Gore House !

      It is difficult to say what the ending of this man will be . To be a successful huckster one must have youth and energy . A good man may grow old and prosper , for he has fixed principles which age cannot change , or time destroy ; with the charlatan it is quite a different matter . One must have a keen spirit , a sure hand , a young brain , to be successful when one makes honesty a dead letter , fidelity a myth . He has no friends , this Napoleon . He is hated by the people as a traitor , who robbed them of their vision of Republican Liberty ; he is laughed to scorn by the aristocracy , who sneer at his ignoble birth ; he is derided by the Army , who remember his " green face" of fear in front of the enemy I How will it all end ? Ah ! that ' s the rub —how will it all end ? We could almost pity him if we could but forget that he sits upon athroae he has usurped ; rules a people he has betrayed—that he is a Despot , a Traitor , and a Coward ; the very incarnation of refined Rowdyism . —the Apotheosis of Imperial Bluster !
