FRENCH REPUBLICANISM NON-PLUSSED g

STUPID JOHN BULL

Our republican neighbours remind us very forcibly
o._g,
the fox in the fable, who had lost his tail, and forthvai
found that, like Mitchell of the Confederation, he "had
a mission" to persuade the rest of his species todispeno
with that graceful appendage. The sovereign people he
got rid of monarchy, aristocracy, law, order, credit, all!
every other circumstance which belongs to the condition
of a well-ordered state of society ; and they cannot max!
out how it is that the people of Great Britain do no
rush to imitate the sublime example. Last Monday, thej
fondly hoped, was to witness the consummation MY
for. The Chartist procession from Kennington Comilla:,
to Westminster was to be " the beginning of the Oa.
The ever-to-be-rendered-memorable tenth of April, Wl'
ever, has passed over ; and there have been neither ber_,
ricadee nor butchers in our streets. John Bull has not
exchanged his ordinary beaver for a ca.ggg,, of liberty, s'
thrown off his homespun coat to attire himself en blousf;
Her Majesty Victoria still wears her crown. Her Maiestr
Lords and Commons proceed about their business of let
gislation much as usual. Buckingham Palace has °cid
been converted into a hospital for decayed artizans ; apt
the Chartist convention of tinkers, tailors, and mobs lase
still in John-street, Tottenham-court Road, instead of
occupying Saint Stephen's Chapel.
All this is as inexplicable to. our worthy neighbours g
the circumstance marvelled at by the Irish gentlemen
the fair, that it was " past six o'clock, and no fight yetis;
and we are soundly taken to task Sy the Parisian preo I_7k
our stupkllty. John Bull, they exclaim, is a dont."'
idiot, a beast. •' The Chartists," the National comPlal
" have, for reasons which a foreigner has neither t
means nor the right to judge, ceded before a displa/7i
force and an imminent violent struggle ;" and Le 111671
de Republican, is positively plaintive in. his lamentatiol
" How unlike," he exclaims, " are the characters as,
dispositions of nations ! How deceitful and sfaithlese4
the mirror of history ! Thus, the light which we ban
glimmering beyond the northern horizon was, after ally
only an aurora borealis, and no real' fire!" year,
true, most worthy republican ; and most glad we —0
at the circumstance that the light in question ic
neither London in conflagration nor the Thames °Li
fire, the latter of which events is not likely soon to or
brought about by the brilliancy of chartist oratory,
even the incendiary arorts of the scum of French Reffil,t"
licanism, whose dirty, moustaches and seedy tor,gerY
us in every purlieu of the metropolis. Most content
John Bull to be abused in the ample, vocabulary of
French objurgation—to be called " beast,,, brute,‘
" ass," or anything else his neighbours
as he is satisfied in his own mind that he has not' teadeit
fool of himself. " Dolt'," as he may be called, John
disposed to wait, before following the magnificent exam') e
of his neighbours, until lie sees that they themselves haft,
got something better by their change than a few baSre,,
trees of liberty, and the privilege of singing ".La'S' 4
seillaise" upon an empty stomach. please—so lolls
