At the same moment, Ledru Rollin entered in great agitation, and, having glanced hastily around, as if in search of some one in the assemblage, advanced straight to the journalist and grasped his hand. "By heavens, Armand, I think the hour has arrived!" "Whence do you come?" was the quick question. "From the Boulevards, where I left Flocon, Louis Blanc and M. Dantès, with the people.
Lamartine does not like him; Eugene Sue was his enemy; the same is true in a modified sense of Alexander Dumas; George Sand dislikes him; Arago while living did the same; and Jules Janin the brilliant critic is no friend of the administration. Victor Hugo, Ledru Rollin, Louis Blanc, and a score of other brilliant men are in exile, and of course hate the man who exiled them.
Barrot then ascended the tribune and deposited a general proposition to impeach the Ministry." "And what was done with it?" asked Louis Blanc. "The President raised the sitting without reading it, but announced that the bureaux should have it for examination on Thursday." "Infamous!" cried Ledru Rollin. "It is all as it should be," said M. Dantès, calmly. "And the peers what of them?"
"I doubt it not, I doubt it not, Ledru!" exclaimed Louis Blanc, rejoiced that one of the youngest and least stable of their number appeared free from the apprehensions of one of the most influential and seemingly most reliable. "I accept the omen indicated by your enthusiasm.
"But of what words did this famous libel actually consist?" asked Ledru Rollin. "Louis can tell you better than I," said Flocon. "Why, the words were severe enough, no doubt," replied Louis Blanc, "but Thiers and Mignet had themselves expressed the same ideas a hundred times, though in less powerful and pointed language.
The following list of names of those proposed to constitute the Provisional Government was then read off: Lamartine, Marie, Ledru Rollin, Cremieux, Dupont de l'Eure, Arago, and Garnier Pagés. Some of these names were received with cheers, others with hisses. It was impossible to take any formal vote. The voices of the Deputies were lost in the clamor of the mob.
The names were then engrossed in capitals on a sheet of paper and borne around the Chamber on the bayonet of a National Guard that all might read for themselves. "I have one more word to say," cried Ledru Rollin. "The Provisional Government has immense duties to perform.
"How true was the opinion of M. Dantès respecting the National Guard!" said Marrast. "How true also respecting the workmen!" said Albert. "How true respecting the Ministry!" said Ledru Rollin. "But where is M. Dantès? Why is he not here?" At that moment the private door opened, and M. Dantès, Flocon and Lamartine entered. "The news from the Chambers!" cried Marrast, as they approached.
"It grieves me much that Kossuth has united his name with Ledru Rollin's; and altogether I think Kossuth is so soured by the misconduct of the Western Cabinets as to lose his soundness of judgment and fairness of reasoning.... Through 1854 his tone became more demagogic, less dignified, more defiant to authorities.
Amongst the extreme radicals, Ledru Rollin may be cited, General Thiard, Marie, a barrister of rising talent, and a young man named Billaud, who is coming forward, and considered to be rather a brilliant speaker.
