" Inhabitants of the Department of the NORTH, While the populations of the south of France greeted the presence of LOUIS-NAPOLEON with the national cry of : Long live the Emperor!

Inhabitants of the department of the North, the present Hour is solemn; It is the hour at the same time of the recollection and the action; you are going to decide on your future...
