The single 'sacrifice' required of him was the renunciation of temporal power as sovereign of the Roman State, and acquiescence in a Civil Government formed by the People. This sacrifice,' if such it be called, we believe he would cheerfully have made, but for the evil counsels of men interested in restoring the old system, which the Romans had found oppressive and intolerable. No one, who attentively reads these passages, can question that both writers are willing, and solicitous to combine Religious Order with Political Freedom, if they could see the way open. Each is reverent each liberal. Here then is most prominently presented, and in its fairest form, the PROBLEM OF THE AGE: "How organize a Christian Commonwealth?? If, as Bishop Hughes is reported to have said, in his sermon, the collection of Peter's Pence could be considered simply and 3. "As to 'genuine Liberty, there always have been, and long solely, as "a religious offering" from the children of the Church will be radically opposite notions. The Autocrat doubtless to their Bishop, no Christian, in the least deserving the glorithinks his subjects enjoy 'genuine Liberty'-that is, as much ❘ous name, that symbolizes universal Charity, would hesitate to liberty as is good for them. Guizot and Metternich 'go in' for the same sort. The boy who likes his pet squirrel procures it a larger cage, and considers that 'genuine Liberty. Very likely, this extension of the 'area of Freedom' will awaken in the pet novel or long-suppressed aspirations for groves and woods and a more spontaneous life-perhaps nerve him to gnaw his cage and escape. Ungrateful, treacherous little villain! says the indignant owner; 'is not this a pretty return for my kindness in increasing your Liberty?? "What we understand by 'genuine Liberty, with reference to human beings, is the right of choosing their own rulers, forming and modifying their civil institutions, and making their own laws. This is what the Roman People now demand. This is what Pope Pius utterly refuses them. On this issue an appeal has been taken to the sword, and Christian blood has flowed in torrents in asserting and resisting the Pope's right to govern the Roman States as an absolute monarch, not by the choice of the people, but by God-given Right. Of course, the Pope's claim will be enforced-has been enforced ere this-by the French, Austrian, Spanish and Neapolitan Armies operating against Rome; but we think the interests of the Papacy, as well as the cause of Human Liberty, will be seriously prejudiced by this triumph. We, surely, do not think so well of Pope Pius, now that he is in the interest of the banded despots, as we did when his influence plainly was and his sympathies seemed to be on the side of Liberty-when he was clearly hated and feared by those who are now sending gold to his treasury and armies to fight in his cause. If any one can make a change of principle on our part out of this, he must enjoy a very peculiar faculty of detecting inconsistencies. That Pius incurred exile and banishment for the cause of Liberty is the most amazing assertion we have met with for months. 4. "We should be very glad to hear that the 'offerings' to the Pope from this country are to be presented in the name of Freedom, as well as of Religion,' if we did not fear that the radical differences above hinted at as to what constitutes 'Freedom' would render the assurance a practical nullity. Most surely, if the Catholics of America were to accompany their offering by a pointed and manly expression of their devotion to the great principles of Republican Liberty, they would do a noble act, which we would thank them for as long as we lived, Let them but say in substanee to their Spiritual Head-'We revere you as a Pope, and will gladly contribute to sustain the dig. nity and efficiency of your holy office, but we are at the same time Republicans, sincerely desirous that all men should taste the blessings of Freedom we now enjoy. We have found, by happy experience, that Religion needs no aid from or alliance with the State, but does far better without it. We entreat you, therefore, to renounce all claim to govern any but such as vol untarily submit to your sway-all other authority than that of Chief Bishop and consecrated Head of the Catholic Church. Let the world see that the Kingdom of God is not carnal but spiritual, and that you rule only by the might of Truth and not of say, "Give, give, and God bless the giver." But it is notorious to the civilized world, and evident to Heaven as to man, that this Bishop also claims to be an earthly ruler, and is now enforcing his assumed right to sovereignty by the cannon and bayonets of foreign despots. Every true follower of the Prince of Peace, then speaks, but as conscience, enlightened by the Spirit of Christ, dictates, in saying, "Let your arm wither from the socket, sooner than contribute a copper in any way to encourage, further, or aid one engaged in such an inhuman project." No anatomy however skilful can separate the spiritual paternity of the Catholic Bishop from the temporal soldiership of the Roman Monarch. Pius IX, -the Shepherd of the Faithful.-is Pius IX., the Exterminator of the Rebels. The same spirit in the same body is responsible to God and man for his words and deeds, alike of devoutness and diplomacy. Every dollar which feeds the body and comforts the spirit, of this One Man, manifestly helps onward to accomplishment his complex ends. How should we rejoice to hear Roman Catholics offering today such a petition as this: "Oh give to our Father, our Head, our Exemplar, the power to die, in hunger and want, in exile or by violence, sooner than yield his sanction to murder. Keep his white robes of holiness unspotted by the blood of his children. Let the Love of the Crucified fill him with that spirit of mercy which forever prays, 'Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.?" Surely, if Pope Pius believes himself to be-as who can doubt that he sincerely does-the Vicegerent of Christ upon earth, he may well trust that Christ will maintain his own. One text of the New Testament should stand out in letters of light before him, making dim the glitter of muskets, and the fiery blaze of artillery. It is this: "put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword shall perish by the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve leigons of angels ! ” Shall we then adopt the other extreme, "that Religion needs no aid from or alliance with the state?" "That the kingdom of God is not carnal but spiritual?" &c. By no means. The divorce of the Church from the State divorces, of course, the State from the Church; and Politics unsanctified by religion, always has become and will become a game of over-reaching, tyranny, demagoguism, selfish utilitarianism and worldly craft. How then secure the independent dependence of Church and State -using purposely a paradox for the end of emphatically expressing the thought of union reconciled with freedom? That question we will try hereafter to answer. We have received a Tract, entitled "The Right to Labor," from our friend William McDiarmid, of Cincinnati. It is dedicated to the Industrial Congress assembled in Cincinnati, and is printed at a cheap rate for general distribution. The Legislature of New Hampshire has resolved NOT to abol ish capital punishment. Bayonets.

REVOLUTION--REACTION--REORGANIZATION. phecy. The Ideal of Humanity germinates in each man and all NUMBER ONE. BUT little more than a year ago, the SOCIALISTS of Europe occupied a commanding ground as Mediators between Ultra Radicals and Ultra Conservatives. They justified both parties while criticising both; and interpreted righteously their purposes, while exposing the insufficiency of their measures. By the mere moral might of Positive Principles, Peaceful Methods, and Ends of Universal Good, they hold the balance of power. They were dreaded but respected; their sayings and doings were earnestly noted, even when bitterly opposed. Instinctively rulers and people felt, that they spoke the word for the hour. They had but firmly to await the time for action, and triumph was sure. How sublime was that position! But impatience for immediate influence and instant resultsthe visible necessity for a transitional policy--the urgent claims and crying wrongs of the people--dissensions among themselves ---a desire to swell their apparent numbers, and above all, the wiles of tyrants and their tools tempted them to quit their vantage-ground, and to receive into their ranks the Revolutionists. We have no wish to retrace the sad history of the last twelve months, from the bloody days of June 1848, to the feeble and futile manifestation of June 1849; we have no time to waste in lamentations; no heart to reproach the generous and heroic for errors which sprang from their very fullness of sympathy, courage and spirit. But loyalty to God and the Race demands the uncompromising assertion that of all mistakes, which have made the past year tragic and tantalizing--the gravest is an acceptance by Socialists of the Revolutionary Spirit from Red Republicans. men, in each nation and all nations. And the Revolutionist with sackcloth robe, and matted beard, shrill voice, and startling gestures, pouring reproach on guilty nations, but roughly heralds a benignant future, coming in kingly glory, and se. renest sweetness, to rule a docile world. It is freshening oxygen in the blood that produces inflammation in obstructed organs --and the very inflammation is nature's healing effort; it is fullness of hope that engenders the extravagance of revolutionists in ages made stagnant by oppression, and the very vehemence of indignation bespeaks the vigor of the human life which prompts it. So much for Revolution in its principle. What now is the significance of the Revolution of this Age? The question is readily answered, for regarding a question of such world-wide announcement it is impossible to err. All but the wilfully blind and palsied know,--that the spontaneous uprising of the PEOPLE, which has stamped the year eighteen hundred and forty-eight with a signature of hope which will brighten forever, means no less than this: "in European Christian Civilization, the time has fully come, when its Spirit and idea of Brotherhood are to be transformed into Deed. Fraternity is manifestly the banner of the age. Now rush to consummation the aspirations, the professions, of eighteen centuries; and irresistible cravings stir the heart of a whole generation for an incarnate Gospel of Love, for an embodied Sermon on the Mount. Industry, Property, Commerce, Finance, Legislation, Manners, all come to the judgment-bar at the uncompromising summons:- "Christianity is a Divine Reality or an enthusiastic dream; if a Reality then is it practicable, practicable now and here: let us do it or do away with it. All forms of caste and serfage, all exclusive privileges, all legalized and consecrated abuses grow pale and tremble before the searching gaze of this Spirit of the Son of Man, animating the masses of Christendom. The common sense of the People has recognized, once and forever, the monstrous absurdity of calling that a Christian state of society, where the many skulk in rags while the few flaunt in purple, where the drones are bloated in luxury while the drudges principles of Liberty and Order. It will not allow either to be pine in want, where mendicant friars are intermixed with merchant princes, and alms houses stand side by side with palaces. Is it said,--that in such a stormy period, the lukewarm, weak and vacillating only can keep the ground of moderation? We answer; the course which divine Providence adopts, and so sanctions, must be dignified, effective, wise. In each age, the highest courage is to do the special work and bear the special trial allotted to it. Now manifestly, the work which Providence to-day is attempting, is to reconcile and harmonize the two great crushed. Neither Revolution nor Reaction can conquer, which ever may alternately prevail for the time. The brave, the saga- In their sufferings and hopes, their conscious wrongs yet wilcious, the expedient course then is, first, patience; and second, lingness to forgive, their longing for brotherly kindness and inpatience; and evermore FATIENCE, for any one who truly de- extinguishable faith in a Universal Father, the squalid, hag serves the name of Socialist ;-the patience not of tame passivity, but of active justice. The ground already lost by violence can be regained only by peace. If between Workmen and Capitalists, zealous and hostile, exasperated and timid, alike, the Socialists had stood unflinchingly forth, robed in white, bearing the palm-branch, calmly commanding co-operation in the name of God, the world might have sneered at first at the visionary enthusiasts; but soon it would have wondered, then listened, then obeyed. And though there is not the remotest chance, that a word on this side of the water can affect the mind of a single leader in the European movement, yet from the urgency of conscience, and the dictate, we confidently trust, of the Spirit of the Age, we are compelled to cry, "Peace, oh Socialists, Peace only and always, Peace Perpetual and Universal--this is your only true principle, your only true policy." Let us enter into the heart of the two great movements of Revolution and Reaction; so shall we learn rightly to estimate the far grander movement of Reorganization, which is the special end of Socialism. And first of REVOLUTION. The justification of revolution is found in the divinely appointed necessity for growth as the method whereby man's destiny must be fulfilled. A revolution is the crisis following an gard, bowed down multitudes know that the New Commandment, which shone out so gloriously through Christ's whole character and conduct, is God's Truth. Such is the heart of the Revolution of this age. Its demand is for an instant and total collective repentance,---and this it demands on the ground of long violated humanity. Tremble before this immense claim for a disinterestedness unlimited as his, who was one with God and Man in a life of love, we well may, for it enjoins real sacrifices, such as few are yet capable of; but deny it we can not without voluntary madness. The central principle in our age is, then, Practical Christianity; but this, though it requires prompt and efficient measures, is nowise inconsistent with peaceful ones. It is surrounded, however, with other tendencies, which, for the very reason that they are more superficial are more restless, rash and violent. For convenience' sake they may be classified as the Political and the Selfish principles of revolution. A word on each, in turn. Feudalism dies hard, so strong originally was its constitution, so sustained is its life by proud associations and grateful memories of the past. Drivelling and imbecile, the once magnanimous ruler of European Civilization still clutches his bauble of a scepter, and though shivering on the borders of the grave yet likes in childishness to play with the spangles and tassels of evolution checked. According to contraction will be expansion, a once splendid robe of sovereignty. No wonder is it, that the In its pure essence the Spirit of Revolution is the Spirit of Pro- energetic spirit of present politics pines under its tedious service round the sick man's bed, and longs for a free play of limbs in the open air beneath the sun. So long has this hope of Constitutional, Representative Government, of Popular Administration, Free Speech, Free Association, Practical Ameliorations, in trade, taxation, travel, intercourse, been tantalizing the hopeful hearts of all Europe! Is it surprising that the heir should seat himself upon the throne, and plant the crown upon his brow, and utter the word of beneficent command, even before his sire has breathed his last? When we consider how the great The clustered hope from the pages of nature, wherein Providence has in- thoughts of Republican Statesmen, in all ages and lands, have their embracing headlands, -all tell one tale of reconciled oppobeen spread abroad for the last century, the patience of Chris- sites, of concord triumphant over discord.

Only by an utter overturn and sweeping away of rotten and crumbling abuses can they gain room, they think, for new temples of justice. But Political Revolutionists, even, might restrain their efforts turns to him void. No good is lost, here or forever. WOMAN; HER POSITION AND DUTIES. I BEGIN by asserting, what to me is an axiom, that Woman must be either a slave and prostitute or free and chaste. There is no middle ground. Repress no longer the full action of women's powers; favor the free development of their intellect; present a truly noble within legitimate limits, were they not hurried on by the un-end for their activity, and all fears for the weakness of their principled madness of mere Self-seekers. In all communities based. as those of civilized Europe have thus far been-upon isolated interests and competitive labor, adventurers are bred as inevitably as vermin are in filth. They multiply indefinitely in this gambling generation. Day by day too settle down, the heedless and shiftless and wicked from weakness, the bankrupt in character and credit, the detected criminals of every grade, into a vast common sewer of licentiousness. And day by day in holes of debauchery, and dens of drunkenness, and dark catacombs of ignorance, which underlie the stateliest structures of a selfish world, are littered broods of creatures, who though human in shape are brutal in spirit, whose food is vengeance, whose training craft. Times so wretched and unstable as ours are specially prolific in such monsters. When the earthquake of revolution rouses these from their lair, and sends them forth into unwonted sunshine, in mere savage mirth and infernal frolic, they deface and destroy what they knew not how to prize, and a blind instinct of retribution prompts them to level all above ground as the cause of their own subterranean degradation. These unlicked cubs of evil are apt instruments for despotic demagogues, who work upon their sluggish fancies with coarse pictures of sensual good, stir up their angry blood with the sting of remembered wrongs, drug them with draughts of lawless power, and then unmuzzle them to pillage and murder, at least to prostrate, all who from refinement and virtue are entitled to honors which empty pretenders crave in vain. Presiding over this pandemonium are, finally, the ambitious, who soured by disappointment, conscious of imprisoned energies which have never found vent, proud in their self confidence, and eager for fortune or fame, revel in hopes of their own preferment amidst the toppling ruins of established authority. In the grand promises of our age, these disturbers find a stimulus for their extravagance. hearts, or the delusions of their imaginations, may be laid aside. You wish to knit more closely the bonds of family, oh men! yet you sunder them by the maxim, "Man for the forum and workshop, woman for the domestic hearth." Separated from husbands and sons, fathers and brothers, what remains for women but to console themselves, in actual isolation and servitude, by dreaming of a celestial country, where they shall have true rights of citizenship, and be no more pressed down by inequalities and privileges denied. Vainly you endeavor to establish civil equality now; Society rests on the family; so long as the family is founded in inequality, society will retrace its old devious paths, and sink back again into what is called "the natural order of things." From the beginning of the world there have been slaves and masters, the oppressed and tyrants, the privileged by sex, race, birth, caste, fortune; these will continue. just so long as you refuse to fulfil the plain duties of fraternity towards those whom God has given you as sisters and companions. Do you ask, what will be the mission of woman beyond the limits of the family? What, indeed! She will come to aid you -in re-establishing order in the wretchedly mismanaged establishment which is called the State, -in substituting just distribution of the products of toil for the habitual privation beneath which the broken down laborer now groans and suffers. A mother of a family, worthy the name, loves by preference the weak and suffering among her children, but with anxious solicitude she seeks to protect all equally from hunger and cold, and strives to awaken in all their hearts a sentiment of mutual sympathy. Will she not do for the great family of society, what she now does for the small household, so soon as the narrow circle of domestic affections is enlarged and raised to the level of high humanitary. interests. It is as Christians, as Citizens, as Mothers, that women should reclaim the position which belongs to them, in the Church, in the State, in the Family. As Christians, because they are like men, children of God, Well may the reverent and gentle, the cultured and elegant, the quiet and happy, to whom loving homes have taught the worth of well ordered society, stand aghast before the uncapped volcano of Revolution;-with its lightning flashing through and Christ himself has summoned them to be his apostles. bleak clouds of ashes, and its lava pouring forth in fiery floods As Citizens, because they too are a part of the people, entitled to whelm vineyards and cottages, churches and cities. But when to the rights of liberty and equality, enjoyed by other citizens. hearts are sick, and heads faint with horror, it is well to learn Especially as Mothers, whose sacred functions are so often considered as incompatible with the duties of citizenship, should and sign all warrants for the payment of money out of the women reclaim their right to watch over and guide their children not only in the acts of civil life, but throughout the whole range of political duties.

To govern, it is thought, is to repress, more or less skilfully, more or less brutally, according to time and circumstances, the desires of men. Therefore have women been considered incapable of governing. But here is found the very reason, why they should insist upon their right to aid all men of heart and intelligence in transferring this Politics of violence and oppression, which has produced and must produce bitter hatred, and which is the source of all social suffering and misery, The exhaustless desire to love and to be beloved, which God has planted in the heart of woman, is the powerful and fruitful germ of that matured love, which should always inspire her, and guide her to the fulfilment of the sacred function entrusted to her, of being a mother to the whole human family. When women shall comprehend that they owe obedience only to God; that all men are their brethren; that all women are their sisters; and that they are called to be mothers not only of their own children, but also of the children of their sisters, and especially mothers to all who are hungry and cold in mourning and sorrow, orphaned and outcast; -when women shall comprehend this sublime humanitary maternity which should bind them all in one by the tie of solidacity, then will the Race really enter on the path of progress.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS TO THE WEEK ENDING JULY 7, The most important item in the IRISH intelligence is the execution of the sentence against JOHN MARTIN AND KEVIN O'DOHERTY, the respective editors of the Irish Felon and Tribune. They were condemned to transportation for ten years. On Saturday, the 16th ult. they were taken from prison and carried to Kingston, where a steamer was waiting for them. They were then carried to Cork, and put on board the Mount Stewart Elphinstone, the vessel which was to bear them to their place of destination. This vessel is small, ill-ventilated, and destitute of the accommodations which even common humanity would demand for the most degraded criminals. On the morning of their departure, they were roused up at 5 o'clock and permitted to bid farewell to Mr. O'Brien and. Mr. McManus, who came into the prison-hall to take leave of their fellow sufferers. The convict ship remains at Cork until it can receive its full com ART. 4.

The account of their proceedings in the affair of the 13th, shows the infatuation of the Government. Their assault on the press is an evidence of the degree of their attachment to liberty. Most of the leading democratic journals are suppressed.-Some of them by violence The office of the Democrati Pacifique the well parting kick with its rose scented heels. It says, 'we who know America, know that as to manners, politics and sociability it is one of the most detestable countries in the world--a country made up of selfishness and falsehood, of corruption and barbarism, without intelligence, courage or genius? " A disturbance took place at Lyons on the 15th inst. but without any important results. known, able, and peaceful advocate of Social Re-organization, Its death is only a question of time. Not satisfied with finding was broken open by an armed force, its presses were broken, us in the plight of the sick lion of the fable, La Mode gives us a its lamps, tables and fixtures were destroyed, and its types thrown into confusion. Eight persons employed in the office were arrested and immured in a dungeon of the Tuileries. Nine other daily papers ceased to appear after the 13th; four have resumed their operations; while the other six are suppressed by the Government, so long as Paris continues in a state of seige. The damage in one of the establishments alone amounted to over forty thousand dollars. The conduct of the Government, claiming to be Republican, presents a significant contrast to that pursued by the Provisional Government at the time of the Revolution. The latter defended the press to the utmost of their power. Soldiers were stationed to protect the Royalist papers. Ledru Rollin himself whom the English journals represent as a monster of violence and blood, harangued the mob who were proceeding to a destructive attack on Girardin's paper, and pursuaded them to disperse. The Asssembly has authorized the commencement of prosecutions against several of its democratic members, among them, Ledru Rollin, the seargents Boichat and Rattier, and Victor Considerant, the eminent and admirable apostle of Association. The Legitimists are anxious to have the whole Mountain party arrested. The Government make use of the occasion to take hold of all the agitators and as many of its enemies as it can find a pretence for seizing. The chiefs of the artillery legion have been arrested, and the legion disarmed and dissolved. In several cases every body at a suspected house has been arrested. All foreigners who have been connected with revolutionary movements in other countries have been sent to prison for safe keeping. Among them, are M. Tausenau who took an active part in the Revolution of last year, and M. Euenbeck who was guilty of the same offence; and the three envoys of the insurgents of Baden and the Palatanate to the French Government. These latter had been at Paris about a week, seeking for an audience with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. They must now demand a hearing from the dungeons of the Conciergerie. The members of the German Democratic Association of course share the fate of their brethren who are imprisoned by the Republic for their devotion to freedom. The number of prisoners is uncertain, probably not under one hundred nor over three hundred. Not the least curious among the fantastic tricks of the Government is an indictment against M. CABET, the celebrated communist leader and the founder of the Icarian colony, at Nauvoo, Illinois. He has been ordered for trial before the Police for obtaining property on false pretences, "on the faith of a false enterprise and a chimerical credit." This singular phraseology means that he took money from his fellow-men in aid of the Icarian establishment. It is enough that CABET is regarded as a dangerous man by the Government. Though he is accused of a fictitious crime, he will not escape uncondemned, merely because he is an advocate of social reform, and was a popular candidate at the last election. "President Bonaparte is thin and pale. He is certainly not lying on a bed of roses. He lately visited the 'Exposition of Products, the hospitals and the 'Exposition of Paintings,' and was on Tuesday morning at the funeral of Gen. Bugeaud. He generally wears the uniform of the National Guard. He is not yet reconciled with his cousin Napoleon." At ROME, Gen. Oudinot was advancing in his preparations for taking the city by assault. On the 12th ult. he dispatched a message to the President of the Roman National Assembly, making a last demand for the surrender of the city, and offering twelve hours for consideration. He received the following reply from the Triumvirs: "GENERAL:-We have the honor to transmit to you the answer of the Assembly, extraordinarily convoked, to your communication, dated the 12th inst. We never betray our engagements. In the execution of the orders of the Assembly and of the Roman people we have undertaken the engagements to defend the standard of the republic, the honor of the country and the sanctity of the capital of the civilized world. We will do so.” MAZZINI, SAFFI. } Triumvirs. Another arrival can hardly fail to bring us the tidings of the fall of Rome. "The Austrians attacked Ancona on all sides on the 9th, at 4 P. M. but without result. On the 10th the Austri ans received from Ferrara six pieces of heavy artillery and six mortars, so that another attack was expected on the 11th or 12th. On the 5th the Austrians attacked Brondolo, and Chioggio by sea and by land, but without result." A sanguinary battle is said to have been fought on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, between the Hungarians and the combined forces of the Austrians and Russians, in which the latter suffered a signal defeat. The loss on their part is stated at twentythree thousand killed, and eight thousand killed on the side of the Magyars. The Austrian journals are not allowed to mention this intelligence, but it is confirmed by private advices from Vienna. HIBERNIAN FLOQUENCE.-Alas! many a poor fellow who would be happy as a pedagogue, becomes by sheer vanity, a miserable man as a barrister. I have been told of a young man converting the saying of" not throwing stones in a glass-house," into "not projecting missiles in a frail habitation." And even by barristers of some eminence will slips be made. In a recent trial, an eloquent counsellor exclaimed, with regard to the difendant, "until that viper put his foot amongst them!" Another barrister said of an individual, "he took the bull by the horns, and charged him with perjury!" In an assize court, a lawyer thus spoke to a jury; "I smell a rat, I see it brewing in the storm, and with your assistance, gentlemen of the jury, I shall nip it in the bud!" Another has said. " Knocking the hydra-head of faction arap over the knuckles!" Aneminent brow-beating barrister has described the way of life of one or more individuals, "Living from hand to mouth, like birds in the air!" A mule has been made to have trousers, when a lawyer said of an individual, "He put the key in his pocket in a most mule-ish manner!" And we all have heard of Sergeant Gold's speaking of the "dark oblivion of a brow;" and of his having been twitted as speaking nonsense to the jury, and of his replying "that it The stringency of the govermental measures against the Democratic Socialist press, is equalled only by its cringing leniency towards the journals of monarchy. The legitimate papers speak freely of the restoration of Henry V, and are by no means mealy-mouthed in their abuse of the Republic. One of them says "a moderate Republic is a tamed tigress." Quoting Gen. Cavaignac's words in debate, "I will serve the Republic and I will never serve anything else, it advises the General not to be so prodigal in declarations, as he may be serving a king at this time the next year." Our own country comes in for a share of severe criticism. The magazine La Mode which numbers counts and counteses among its contributors, says that "Socialism has acted like a gangreen on American society, has propagated things with the speed of lightning, and will devour everything. It is all over with the Model Republic. was good enough for them."-Dolman's Mag. |
