When the salutations were over and the party, all but Marrast, who restlessly paced the room, were seated, Louis Blanc looked around on his friends with a sad smile, and continued: "Marrast is right, Messieurs. I was, indeed, preaching patience.
Such is a hasty limning of the personal outlines of the first journalist in Paris, the chief editor of the chief organ of the democracy in Europe, Armand Marrast, of "Le National."
If we were to be ruled by a king, what cared we whether that king were Henry V. or Louis Philippe? How would the sacrifice of Carrel, Marrast, Cavaignac, or of any of those twelve brave men have been repaid, or made up?
Thus was the Revolution of the Three Days won by the people to be seized and enjoyed by the Bourgeoisie. The next revolution will be won by the people, too, but the people will enjoy it!" "And how progresses our principles, Louis, among the people?" asked Marrast, who had listened attentively to every word that had been uttered. "Never so gloriously as now, Armand, never!
"You are right, M. Dantès," replied Marrast, "in supposing us engaged in a private conference, and upon matters of deep import, though conferences in this office can never be so private or so important as not to derive benefit from the presence and counsel of the Deputy from Marseilles."
"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.
'Le National' and 'La Tribune, regarding these repeated challenges as a menace to the Republicans, hurled defiance at the Legitimists, and demanded twelve distinct rencontres in behalf of as many names of our friends posted at their offices, among which those of Armand Carrel, Godefroi Cavaignac and Armand Marrast were conspicuous.
"And the Marshal Duke of Islay where is he?" quietly asked Marrast, with a significant shrug and smile. At this mention of his bitter foe, a frown lowered on the fine face of Lamoricière, as he briefly and sternly replied: "With the King, Monsieur General Bugeaud is with the King. But they mistake, Monsieur. Eugène Cavaignac is the man for this emergency.
To his military notions, nothing could be accomplished without soldiers, and for the people to carry a revolution against soldiers seemed to him absurd." "Armand Carrel would have been, nevertheless, a good revolutionist, Louis," said Marrast; "but he was a bad conspirator. He had no faith in the people, no confidence in the efforts of undisciplined and unarmed masses."
"Decidedly the most remarkable man in the French Chamber of Deputies," replied Marrast. "In powers of natural eloquence I never saw his rival." "Nor is that all," added Louis Blanc. "Unlike most men noted as mere orators, he is a sound logician, as well as a polished rhetorician. As a political economist he has few equals.
