NEW YORK. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST g. ls45


- Three columns of the Tribune Of Tuesday were
iiled with the letter OF what-what the Tribune
caiis-a Hnmdnitd,idn, from Parls-and what sort
oil being Humanitarian" is, we propose to show
our readers by some extracts -
'ln word we must look to the man and net the ci-
tzen Reality and not religious and moral distractions
the earthly happiness and Improvement of each soul in
stead of referring the greater part of men to hopes of
heavenly happiness and conierrng superfuty Of what
is in store at present a few privileged persons The
word Equality that signal word of the first French Re.
volution, has wide earnest meaning. tmeans not
merely that men should address another man. or
citizen, that rank title orders and lveries should be
done away WITH that all the before the laws
that all tried before the judges punished in
the prisons such equality merely negative SO
long there cultivated and rude men, rich poor
old and young healty and sick perfect abstract equa
ty is just impossible abstract freedom. What we
wish and seek the nearest practicable approximation
to the principle Of freedom and equality the emancpa.
ton of man from the formula desert of religious moral
and political commands and prohibitions the most perfect
possible happiness and welfare Of all without excep-
tion."
Now here are lnfdety of an odous kind, and
moral, social and political revolution combined The
whole extract avows rascally and poisonous set OF
principles, fresh from the original mint OF all snch
principles, and their natural head quarters, the city
of Paris. II is very true, the Tribune said the day
after we gave its editor lashlng for his infidety in
the Tribune, family whispers his dslik. OF some
expressions. when the whole three columns are of
the same odous character, as far as we understand
the mystclsms in them-but why publish three CO.
|umns OF such stuff! why lead it in the most snowy
|
under the editorial head why go to the trouble of
translating it for the German lSchneN Post-why
but to nculcate with the one whig principle of the
Tribune, the general spirit of the 1ri6unes Fourier
ism and Infdelity!
The Albany Ecening Journal, we presume, will
tell u.s., in behalf of its pupil here, "you need not
read the Fourlerism of the Tribune, (even if it
pushes daily upon you, when you have paid for
something else) 1t is first rate whig paper-there
is whlggery enough In 1t, without the Fourierlsm
and Inhdelity."

tive American t0-morrow-Aboton this moment,
and stakeholder the next, to catch vote, carry
vote, may justify It's conscience with such logic, and
then oollshly think 1t is serving the great whig par
ty-but if the Tribune succeed in Its plan Of da

Votaire and Tom Paine will soon be published in
Anne erica by the infidels Of the world in whig sheet
in orderto obtain hearing in the families, and amid
the household gods, Of that part of the community
Satan himself could not have hit on better invention
for sowing the seed of all than has the Tribune in
this mode of disseminating Fourlerlsm and inf
dety among the business and religious classes OF the
community. The Rev. DR.. Potts probably addresses
thousand people one day in week; the Rev Dr.
here, the Devil himself, through the Tribune (ac-
cordng to its own accounD addresses 5000 every
day, and six days in the week This may be all
right, and doubt is in the suddenly but doubtful
ly Catholic converted Editor of the albany Euen-
ing Journal but it will not pass good logic in
this country.
Attention, however, to the Humanitarian" in
the Tribune He goes on to say

harmonious improvement Of the human race by means

and the idle through equal distribution of the products

ETY. which admits all men to equal human no less than
crimes and that spring from vast dsparites OF
condition. whose highest object is the earthly welfare OF
all men, leaving hereafter to the of its time
a This is my confession of faith''
I All this in the very words of the Tribune al
most. The editor, we presume, will delight in all
these Expressions" here
, :" Humanitarian then goes on to describe the
combats Communism and Socialism to have,
and then exclams:-
But it is out of such combats that truth will arise
the battlefield will be covered with the sain but the
survivors will be crowned with victory"
Exactly so Give such madmen, mingled phi
osophers" and nhdels, the rein, and the battlefield
will, indeed, soon be covered with the slain-bu
the survivors will not be crowned with victory.
They will be sconed and secuted by all posterty as
were the leaders OF just such principles in the try
ing and bloody scenes of Paris, Lyons, and other
cities of France.
The writer then goes on to show upafter the man.
ner OF the Tribune, the suferings of the laborng
classes, which do not exist In the country, and to
show how capital Is the antagonist OF labor that is,
how rich are the enemies of the poor Ii would be
waste OF paper to write of the absurdltles of the
writer. His general remedy is that Of the Tribune,
Socialism, Communism, Fouriensm, or some spe-
ces of ism incomprehensible to all but the Anachar-
sis Clootz of the Tribune.
Now the diffusion of such stuff as this, daily, in
the bosom of the Whig party all in the worst vein
of Loco Focoism, and all calculated to array the
poor against the rich, labor against capital, and then
to make man hate man, and the employed his en-
ployer,-may be useful, in the estimation of some, to
the Whig party-but we venture to say no party can
long stand up under 1t. The mere fact that any par
ty has such an organ throws over it general air OF
ridicule, as well as nficts an injury. Railery and
argument combine to assa it, and through it, to as
sail the whole party. The Tribune has already
ceased to be read TO any extent, and to be heard,
in fourteen States OF the Union, and unless it ceases
| to minge Wing principles up with Fourlerlsnl, it
will be read much less before long in the thirteen
other States Notwithstanding the foul accusation
made against us of having feelings OF envy and Ill
will to the Tribune, we here solemnly aver, that
have the best and kindest feelings to all concerned
that paper, and nothing ever gives greater plea
sure than to transfer its sound articles to our
columns, our readers can almost daily but
its horrible mixture of profanity and Socialism, or
| Fourlerlsm, with Wing principles, such rs we give
to-day, we view with Indignation and alright.
Where one Whig is made by it, dozen lniidels are
the product
