Maximilian emperor. As soon as the

French troops were withdrawn, the people

rose, seized Maximilian, trie*' him and sen

And again the republic.

It will be seen from these facts that the

almost universal rille is that a republic

once established endures, unless destroyed

by the force of foreign arms. There are

but seven possible exceptions:—

The old republic of Rome.

The second attempt of Rienzi.

The protectorate of Cromwell. _

The first French republic. 18t'5.

The second French republic. 1851.

In Mexico in the time of Iturbide.

by domestic revolution and did not rise

again:—

The Roman republic.

Rienzi's Tribunate.

Cromwell's protectorate.

is to say. there is but one ease in the

whole range of history where the republic

was well established, was abandoned bl

upon which is founded the dogma: “The

tendency of the republic is toward mon

archy."
