Kinglake's amiable and virtuous friend, the Emperor of France. The English nation might then possibly have pointed to his portrait in their historical gallery as that of an efficient public servant who had deserved well of his country, and he might have escaped a ludicrous immortality as the Dog Tear-'em, in the recent admirable sketch in "Punch." But, in the words of a political song,
I have no faith in the Emperor of the French. On another occasion the hon. and learned Gentleman said, not, I believe, in this House, 'I am still of opinion that we have nothing but animosity and bad faith to look for from the French Emperor. And he went on to say that still, though he had been laughed at, he adopted the patriotic character of 'Tear-'em, and was still at his post.
He has the kind of pugnacity which prompts a cur or a puppy to attack a Newfoundland or a mastiff. He has not the fidelity and many other good qualities of the canine race. At any rate, he has become a mischievous dog, and a dull dog, and will soon be a "sad dog." We would venture to suggest, that he should at once be raised to the peerage, under the title of Baron Tear-'em.
