The Lecture Season. TRCFESSOR OREENE ON THE LIBERAL CAUSE OF EUROPE, BEPORE THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. A lecture was delivered in Hope Chapel, lact Monday evening, by Profeseor (i. W. Greene, of Brown University, Providence, on the ‘* grounds for confidence in the triumph cf the liveral cauee in Eurepe.”’ The learned professor said ke desired to state to the audience the hopes of the people—the hopes of the freedom of Europe. He said he epoke to them of hope, at a moment when the last hopo appeared to be extinguished; but he epoke with trust, andin unshaken confidence, for he spoke, fa day or an hour, but of tha, everlasting peried im which the transient testimony of @ day was Jost in the great movement of ages— the movement which combined the whole eternal progrees of humanity. Tnere had been darker daye than these, There bad been yeare, and even centuries, in which the human wind seemed to have forgotten its bi: ight, and surrendered i self to apathy and mute it was the work of the will which guided human paecion and human error to pure and noble lands. it wae almoet a truism that nothing was harder to etudy than the hietory of our times. We wero depressed by a&@ mars cf details, and with and coxficting testimony. We were too close to the subdjeot—too much under the influence of paseion—to enable us to form a just conception. The past, also, had its dif: it was all in iteelf complete, and even car- eat deal farther back than we dreamt of: yet if the will but etretched itearms far enough, it could always clasp to us the whole, for the end was there, ag well as the beginning, and we knew whet that end was. We knew who the great men were, and who was merely the man of the momont: what events passed which set @ mark so deepiy on the greatehores oftime. Euttakethe Noman em- feel towards that Coliseum lite those who lived 2 shadow; we had s the fragments scattered wide: we could sce the ried «: could not share. Therefore, let them s:udy contem- porary history. In the history of the past we must seek, in the evente, the principles which prodauxed pecinles of the human mind; it will take ity place y the side of, and become the source of, new pro- gress. This was the law we should endeavor to ap- ply to the hopes ofthe people of Carope. They re- membered how suddenly the French revolution of February came upon them. ‘There was Louis Phi- lippe’s throne, of three days’ glory, vet up in an ex- traordinary manner, and for nearly eighteen years ‘ before fall he had hoard a celebrated lecturer proclaim him to be the wisest prince in Hurope. The learned profes sor then referred to the various means which led to his downfall. Hevolution was a dread- ful thing; it tossed to and fro, as in a tempast, the human passions, which, when once let loose, were more fierce than the wildest war of the ele- ments. But who was it tha made a revolution!— Only three we great event which changed the aspect of socie:y, in which the greatest individual was anything more than the man of the occasion, sustained by the very circumstances which he seemed to control! What would Napoleon have been if he had begun in 1789 Roundheads, but had sided with the Cavalier party, useless to resist the rules of developement which God had planted in every nation. If you azcepted the principle, you must take its consequences—you must not attempt to turn it from its course. The Profeesor proceeded to comment upon the position and social power of the French people at the time of the abdication of Louis Philippe, and his conduct towards them. He alluded to the abuse which had been made of the word “order.”” ‘Order reigns at Warsaw,” were the first words of the ininister of Louie Philippe when announcing the fall of tnat devoted city. Poland, hemmed in as she was by despotic powers, could not but fall. Louis l’hi- Tippe was fully prepared, and coerced his subject: | by military power The founders of his govern- ment were the people; and by what tenure could he have held th: crown except by the will of the nation; and for what purpose, if not to render that nation happier and bo'- ter? At the period of his downfall, the republican party was in a minority, and the sheck came when least expected, and a few musket shots decided the fate of the throne and the king This event made him stand face to face to, and shrink from, the men whom he had betrayed. | Therefore, the revolution of February was the necessary result of the revolution of July. Taere | 2 a usefal d, if used for the benefit of the people; but they were converted to individual ambition, and while they laid the foundation of a throne, they laid the corner stone of arepublic. The l’rofessor glanced ai the rise and progress of the power of the people on the Euro- pean continent, 2nd at the tyramnies which had been exercised by different States. He remarked that a great lesson in history was faith. No man whohad read the history of the past could donbt the future. Ten years were some good part of human life; but. what were they in the life of a State? There was no broken link which connested the great chain of the future to the past. Let them look at lurope at the present moment, and compare her state with that which existed twenty years ago. He could : see nothing to justify the gloomy foreboiings which he heard aroundhim. Republican l’rance hed, in fact, fallen, and the man who might have taken a place among the benefactors of mankind was trying to build up a throne which a prince, during twelve years of glory, had failed to build up. He con- sidered the election of Louis Napoleon was a great error, though a natural one. He examined the ssembly, and recounted the acts they had committed in autago- nism to the interests of the people. The great step was the expedition to Rome, conducted in the name of religion and social order ; then came the agares- sion on the press, and the gralual extinction of its freedom, by fines and imprisonment; and the next blow was the destruction of popular education.
