MOVEMENT 7 0 JVARDS MONARCHY.

The Imperialist prints pages of notices extracted
from other journals written in every shade from sur-
prise to encouragement, and from fear to anger.
One asks, Can American Democi acy be imperializA?
According to the writer it is perfectly lawful to plot
and conspire to overthrow the present form of Go-
vernment openly and avowedly. " Treason is de-
fined in the Constitution of the United States to
consist only in levying war against the United
States, giving its enemies aid and comfort.' It is
the overt act of war alone that exposes the plotter
to arrest and punishment. To advise and proclaim
the overthrow of the Government in speech and
writing—the change of its form—and the creation
of a wholly different system by the mere exertion
of the public will is entirely legitimate; is, indeed,
one of the cardinal rights especially reserved to the
people. In the light of these admitted truths, what
becomes of the new and recently so much vaunted
virtue of loyalty ? Is it wonderful that the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States, in their
original scope and compass, neither created, nor
recognized, nor enforced the merit and duty of
loyalty." Hence the imperialist is quite within the
law, although it would be rank treason in any other
country. The Republic of Pittsburgh would, how-
ever, take the law into its own handS. The freedom
of the press, according to that journal, means the
free power of disseminating any opinion it pleases ;
but when a pestiferous thing like the Imperialist IS
laid ou its table it wonders " that any one is allowed
to argue, much less to publish a paper in the United
States, and in that city claiming to be Democratic,
in favour of Imperialism," and kindly recommends
that its conductors should be immediatelyshot down;
adding the people of New York might as well leta
hyena loose in their streets, to which the Imperialist
replies by asking that if the bad grammar of the ilepub*
lie be tolerated, why should not the "arguing" of the
Imperialist. Another heads its article " A start-
ling Proposition ; a Clap of Thunder in a Clear
Sky." The Sew Fork Leader goes in on the Wu::
tering style about the magic " words," but "letters
would be more correct, T. C.I. 0., had it not ren-
dered into plain English these initials, as Truculent
Confederation of Imperial Organisers. It is clear
that the crown is by no means dis:aateful to the
South, for some of its papers openly avow this feel"
lug. The ability with which the imperialist 15
written is generally acknowledged, and the Nash-
ville Banner denounces those "clever Bohemians
who, selling their principles with their brains, let
themselves out as flunkeys to a shoddy snobocrael
of bondholders,. for whose arrogant ignorance and
imbecility they must cherish secret contempt." The
Grand Rapids Journal said, an officer, who is a
prominent Republican, remarked " that there was
no use in battling against such a movement, and
that he, though an officer under the party in power,
believes that, in General Grant, we behold the last
President, and, perhaps, the first Emperor for the
people." Another says " A furtive glimpse at the
Imperial Senate convinces us that the change from
Republicanism to Imperialism will not involve the
loss or addition of many new features. Dukes
Sumner and Wilson will continue to expound the
law with the same gravity and disregard of conse-
quences that have heretofore characterized their
action. Count Richard Yates will sweep majesti-
cally across the Imperial chamber to chat with
Baron Chandler (barren of any intellect)." 'The
Mobile Tribune prefers Empire to mob rule, " Pre-
fers the rule of the French Emperor, or that of all
other real Emperor in fact, to that of the present
rule that is over us. We prefer the horse of Caligula
to the beast of Massachusetts—even mad autocracyto irresponsible ochlocracy.". Many attribute the
movement to Jesuitical influences, others to some
deep-Lii.l scheme of villany. This the linperialt.5t
_
terms " funny absurdity," that it is with a sense of
humiliation at the necessity, they again state their
motive to be purely political ; that they have 11°
religious object, a State religion being an 0.,;,
.:
World absurdity. " Mob-worship and canals
1 idolatry cop-
science
are the only symptoms of debased
science with which we are at war, and we 113t1s
leave it for the Empire itself to deal with the other
forms of the national disease." Here is a piece of
its information :—" In a recent biography of Fitz,
Greene Halleck the author mentions the fact of
Mr. Halleck and Mr. Richard H. Dana, meeting
on one occasion at the dinner table of the vener-
ableea poet, Bryant, shocked their simple-hearted
host by expressing their strongest wishes for the
establishment of monarchy in the United States.
The number of monarchists who are to be found
among our professional literateurs would rather euro
