3164. FRANCE, Punishment of.—
She
deserves much punishment, and her successes
and reverses will be a wholesome lesson to
the world hereafter; but she has now had
enough, and we may lawfully pray for her
resurrection, and I am confident the day is
not distant. No one who knows that people,
and the elasticity of their character, can believe
they will long remain crouched on the
earth as at present. They will rise by acclamation,
and woe to their riders. What havoc
are we not yet to see!—
To Mrs. Trist.
