For the part taken by 'La Tribune, then conducted by Marrast, in this revolt, its press was seized and sealed. The same was the fate of 'La Quotidienne, and the same would have been the fate of 'Le National, but for its barricades. Well do I remember the meeting of our friends in this very apartment on the night after General Lamarque's funeral.
"Three impeachments of the Ministry have been proposed," said Lamartine. "By whom by whom?" asked Louis Blanc. "By whom presented?" "One by Odillon Barrot, one by Duvergier d'Hauranne and one by M. de Genoude, Deputy from Toulouse." "And what said Guizot?" asked Marrast. "Nothing. He only laughed when the papers were handed him by old President Sauzet." "Ah!" cried Ledru Rollin.
But for unusual efforts, such would have been the case at the funeral of Dulong, the Deputy who fell in a duel with General Bugeaud, in January of '34." "What were the circumstances?" asked Rollin. "Armand recollects them better than I," replied Louis Blanc. "The circumstances were these, as I remember them," said Marrast.
"And you really wish a sermon from me, old comrades, with patience as the text?" "Aye aye aye!" exclaimed all. "Suppose I add to it this line I find on the paper before me on the table, that our good Marrast had just written as the text for a paragraph which would probably have cost him another fine and imprisonment, had the paragraph been completed and published?" "Read! read!" cried Rollin.
I have called but for a moment to speak with M. Marrast respecting a measure in the Chamber, and have consented to enter only at his solicitation."
It was filled with busy and uneasy groups. M. Armand Marrast was talking aside with M. d'Alton. M. de Girardin stopped me; then MM. d'Houdetot and Lagrenee. MM. Franck-Carre and Vignier joined us. We talked. I said to them: "The Cabinet is gravely culpable. It forgot that in times like ours there are precipices right and left and that it does not do to govern too near to the edge.
The partisans of the new emperor were rewarded with the chief offices of the state; the leading republicans languished in prison or in exile for the crime of doing their duty to their constituents; and Armand Marrast, the most zealous champion of the republic, died of a broken heart from the overthrow of all his efforts and aspirations.
"We differ mainly in this," said Marrast: "Louis Blanc attributes the Republican failures of the past ten years to prematurity and want of preparation in our attempts, and contends that all those reverses may be retrieved by patience and prudence in future, while, to my mind, there is nothing to indicate for the future, from the same causes, different results than those experienced in the past."
"She differs greatly from Madame George Sand in some respects, I fancy," said Marrast; "but, if she at all rivals that wonderful woman in devotedness to the cause of human rights, whether of her own sex or ours, she deserves well of France. In her charities, it is notorious, she has no rival.
Projet de Constitution... precede par un rapport fait au nom de la Commission par le citoyen Armand Marrast. Universal suffrage was practical politics, but the success of the revolution fluttered agreeably all the mansions of Utopia, and social reformers of every type sought to improve the occasion.
