Treat with the deepest contempt him who denounces, but does not prove.

How long have a protector or a protectorate been talked of?

Who would dare to dethrone the constitutional king?
Who would dare to place the crown on his head?
Who can imagine that the race of Brutus is extinct?
And if there were no Brutus, where is the man who has ten times the ability of Cromwell?
Do you believe that Cromwell himself would have succeeded in a revolution like ours?
There were for him two easy roads to usurpation, which are to-day closed--ignorance and fanaticism.

You think you see a Cromwell in a La Fayette.
