Sinossi
Excerpt from Paris in America
In a recent lecture, after commenting on the intense sympa thy which existed twenty or thirty years ago between Ameri cans and Frenchmen, when all seemed inspired with the friend ship of Lafayette and Washington, 111. Laboulaye asked: Why is it that this friendship has cooled? Why is it that the name of American is not so dear to us as it was in those days? It is due to slavery. We had always hoped that something would be done to put an end to an institution which was regarded by the founders of the Constitution as fraught with peril to the country; but, instead of this, the partisans of slavery having oh tained the ascendant, have continually been engaged in eiforts to perpetuate it and extend its limits so that we have ceased to feel the same interest in Americans. He concluded the same lecture with the words: America is the future of civilization America is the future of liberty. When her territory shall be come as populous as that of France, freemen will occupy it, with a system of. Government which will, with irre sistible force, draw all the world to folpow the example. It is for this that I am so interested in American progress; it is for this that I wish to direct your attention toward it. You.
