It is with extreme pleasure that we give insertion
this evening to the communication addressed to
us by M. F. R. TREUUNNAIS, in reference to our
editorial remarks upon the new journal of his friend,
M. Louis BLANC. Distinguished as this letter is
by its tone of gentlemanly and argumentative self-
possession, we at once and frankly waive all remem-
brance of any foregone irritability. At the same
time we cannot but remain of the same opinion, in
regard to the tendency of the social and political
principles propounded in the pages of the New
World. Regarding those principles, not through
the exciting medium of a merely perverse and
petulent opposition, but viewing them through
the calm and transparent atmosphere pervading a
simple question of logic, we cannot but consider them
as subversive of much that we regard as pure, sacred,
and beautiful in existing institutions. Hence we
have raised and must conscientiously continue to raise
our voice against their dissemination. We do so
the more earnestly, because the matter is to us not a
matter of taste, but a matter of conscience. Avow-
ing from the outset our appreciation of the brilliant
intellectual gifts of the author of the History of the
Dix Ans, and of the Organization du Travail,
we nevertheless dissent so entirely from
his deductions, that our sentiments in re-
gard to those deductions can never be expressed
merely in part or with an air of indifference. Ear-
nestness is a homage due to the genius of M. Louis
BLANC, whether that earnestness be from a disciple
or an antagonist. From conviction, we rank our-
selves in the latter category. In pronouncing our
views upon his journal, and upon the principles
which that journal embodies, we have not restricted
ourselves to generalities, but have, on the contrary,
enforced our remarks by quotations. Those quota-
tions we still leave to speak for themselves. They
are neither garbled nor hunted out with any
motive at misrepresentation. The passage, in
particular, having reference to the charac-
teristics of marriage in modern society, we do
here again most emphatically pronounce to
be a grievous distortion of the truth—a distortion in
which the exceptions are declared to constitute the
rule—a distortion in which the units of evil are male
to outnumber the thousands of good—in which the
few are pronounced t" be beyond the many, the
minority to surpass the majority.
When it is asserted, in spite of facts and declare

tions to the contrary, facts revealed in his life, am

declarations contained in his writings, that M. Louis
BLANc has inscribed the sacred names of Order, of
Family, and of Property upon his banner, w e
are compelled to acquiesce in that assertion

only in the language of sarcasm. Looking
back upon the stormy days of May and

June in Paris, we are forced to reply—Yes I M.
Louis BLANC has inscribed the holy symbols of
Order, of Family, and of Property upon his banner—

he has inscribed them on his banner as the sacred

implements and vestments of the priesthood are
draggled through the streets on the shoulders of
some ribald jester, dancing in the midst of the broils
and orgies of an insurrection. The crosier of Order,
and the mitre of Family, and the chasuble of Pro-
perty are employed by him only so far as they tend
to serve his revolutionary purposes, and to impart an
incongruous decoration to the subversive tendency of
his doctrines.

Yet of this we are equally well satisfied, that in
:he fanaticism of his social and political creed, M.
Louts BLANC is sustained by a profound sincerity.

We feel that his enthusiasm for these impracticable

projects is something nobler than the affectation of a
merely speculative demagogue. We are sure that
there is integrity of motive in this fallacious extra-
vagance of argument. We are certain that, antago-
nistic as we are in our opinions, our aim is
altogether identical, namely the extension of

the v liberties of the people, and the puri-
fication of the moral atmosphere respired
by the community, and the better adjustment
of the relations which should subsist between man and

man, between worker and employer, between crafts-
man and proletaire, under the combined influences of
Christianity and Civilization. We are satisfied that,
contrary as are our means, we are nevertheless strug-
gling onwards to a single end—that we do not
diverge in opposite directions from a centre to a cir•
cumference, but that, starting from different parts of a
circumference, we are pushing on towards one com-
mon centre.

Discarding all recollection •of his pre•
vious communication, we congratulate M.
TRETIONNAIS upon the calm yet earnest tone of his
second letter addressed to ourselves. Respecting the
ardour of his friendship, we cannot remain blind to
the insufficiency of his logic. Comprehending the
modesty of his position as one standing upon the
threshold of literary activity, we cannot but use

how indefensibly the disciple lays himself open to the
charge of presumption who undertakes to " edit " th•
productions of a master already renowned, before he
himself has yet acquired any distinguishing reputa-
tion. While reiterating all the remarks con-
tained in our foregoing strictures upon the new
journal of M. LOUIS BLANC, we again express to his
translator, M. TRETIONNAIS, the satisfaction with
which we here publish his second communication,

remembering that what commenced in petulance has
ended in candour of avowal and composure of tem-

lerament.
