And if the 'constitution' which is coming is not model, it may wear itself into shape by being worked calmly.

Not that I like the pinching meanwhile.
Not that stringencies upon the Press please _me_--no, nor arrests and imprisonments.

I like these things, God knows, as little as the loudest curser of you all, but I don't think it necessary and lawful to exaggerate and over-colour, nor to paint the cheeks of sorrows into horrors, nor to talk, like the 'Quarterly Review' (betwixt excuses for the King of Naples), of two thousand four hundred persons being cut to mincemeat in the streets of Paris, nor to call boldness hypocrisy (because hypocrisy is the worse word), and the appeal to the sovereignty of the people usurpation, and universal suffrage the pricking of bayonets.

Above all, I would avoid insulting the whole French nation, who have judged their own position and acted accordingly.
