In 1848 he proclaimed himself a Republican; but after the See also:establishment of the Second See also:Empire he changed his views, and in 1865 was returned to the chamber as the See also:official See also:candidate for his native See also:place. He at once became conspicuous, both for his eloquence and for his uncompromising clericalism, especially in urging the See also:necessity for maintaining the temporal See also:power of the papacy. In 1869 he was again returned, and, devoting himself with exceptional ability to See also:financial questions, was in 187o appointed to See also:report the See also:budget. During and after the See also:war, for which he voted, he retired for a while into private See also:life; but in 1872 he was again elected See also:deputy, this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time as a Legitimist, and took his seat among the extreme Right. He was the soul of the reactionary opposition that led to the fall of See also:Thiers; and in 1873 it was he who, with Lucien Brun, carried to the See also:comte de See also:Chambord the proposals of the See also:chambers. Through some misunderstanding, he reported on his return that the See also:count had accepted all the terms offered, including the retention of the tricolour See also:flag; and the count published a formal denial. Chesnelong now devoted himself to the establishment of See also:Catholic See also:universities and to the formation of Catholic working-men's clubs. In 1876 he was again returned for Orthez, but was unseated, and then beaten by the republican candidate. On the 24th of See also:November, how-ever, he was elected to a seat in the See also:senate, where he continued his vigorous polemic against the progressive attempts of the republican See also:government to secularize the educational See also:system of See also:France until his See also:death in 1894.
