Elevating another Bonaparte to a "divine seat" could indeed help ease the class tensions throughout France, especially in gaining military approval for the Republican Government, even if such approval is always unreliable at crucial moments.
In fact, the actions of the French Army during the three dynasties have already confirmed this, yet Lamartine still seeks to win them over, despite knowing the military is unreliable.
In some non-critical moments, the military's stance can make the government's foundation more solid.
However, considering Louis Napoleon's actions during the Orléans Dynasty, Lamartine still harbors some distaste for Louis Napoleon deep in his heart.
Elevating a restorationist to the "divine seat" of the Republic is indeed the greatest irony.
