1851. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC LOUIS-NAPOLÉON BONAPARTE ADDRESSED TO THE NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY in the Session of 24 January 1851 "Mr President, public opinion, confident in the wisdom of the Assembly and the Government, has not been moved by the latest incidents. Nevertheless, France is beginning to suffer from a disagreement that it deplores... The union of the two powers is essential for the country's rest; but, as the Constitution has made them independent, the only condition for this union is mutual trust... To avoid prolonging a painful dissent, I have agreed... to form a Transitional Ministry, composed of special men, not belonging to any part of the Assembly... Honorable men who accept this patriotic task will have rights to the recognition of the country..." - National print. Poster (59 x 49) Status A.
