These views are sound and practical The result
OF any belligerent action on the part of Mexico,
would be the conversion OF the United States INTO
one vast camp for the conquest of Mexico, Calfor-
MA, and the whole southern portion OF the CONT
nent. The event would be hailed with JOY by thou
sands and thousands of the youth and energy OF the
land; and armies OF ten, twenty, thirty thousand
men, could be assembled 10 flash the sword OF VIC
tory TO the remotest boundaries OF Mexico Inen,
indeed, would speedily be realized, the prophetic
announcement OF the poet about revelng IN the halls
OF the Montezumas In such a case, the interposi
tion OF England would be but feather No
thing could prevent the people of the United States
from accomplishing the deliverance OF the mlsera-
bic and sem-barbarian masses IN Mexico, and the
subugaon of that territory to the free institu
lions OF this republic.

The exposition of the doctrines purposes and pro-
ects Of the Fouriere and philosophic movement
Jed by the Tribune and its co-organs throughout the
country, which we felt called upon to make the 9TH
day, has, sorry to say, excited the philo-
sophers who control It's columns to some very
bad words-suoh as "cant" "vllany," and other
expressions very naughty indeed, when coming
from the lips of such distinguished retormers and
philosophers. All this, however, is only what we
had reason to expect looking back on that interest.
ing portion of history which records the atrocities
and violence OF the French revolution.
In that dark era which ushered in the French re-
volution we find the philosophers getting into vio
lent passion whenever the tendency OF their prin-
ciples and teachings to revolution and bloodshed
was pointed out. Just with the philosophers of
the Tribune When we faithfully point out the ruin
GUS tendency of their doctrines and views, and
show how they aim at the destruction of all that is
pure and lovely and of good report in the present
state of society, they fly at once into rage-fume
and buster and abuse-caling us williams" and
all that is bad. more tyrannical, canting twad-
ding, ridiculous set of men, with the worst Of
tempers, than the called philosophers of this or
any other age never existed; and every fresh exh-
bion OF their temper, only proves the general fact
But the philosophers of the Tribune do not only get
angry, because we happened to expose the PERM.
cious and evil tendencies Of their teachings, thew
also rdcule Christianity, and think that has fallen
into the hands of a sad championship, because
common sense happens to take hold of it in opposi
ton to the spurious philosophy of the day. All these
ill-naured exhibitions of bad temper, will not pre-
vent us from continuing the developments, which
we were the first to begin in relation to the infdel
philosophers of the present day, whose first organ
was the Tribune, and who have now variety of
sub-organs throughout the country. We undertook,
some two or three years ago, the work of exposing
| the character and tendencies OF this movement,
and the intelligent presses, of both political parties,
throughout the country, are beginning TO re-echo
| our words of admontion and alarm We are thus
encouraged to hope, ha, the time is not far distant
when the great mass of this intelligent community
will be thoroughly awakened to the dangerous cha
| racter OF movement, which assails the whole sys-
| TEN OF religion morals, and government under
which we now exist in peace, prosperity and
order
For years, the Tribune, and Its associate organs
throughout the country, have been ringing the
changes on the degradation of the laborng classes,
thus sowing the seeds Of discomfort and convulslon
| throughout the land, endeavorng to excite
the poor against the rich, by false representations
of the Injustice of the latter, and chaacterlzng the
merchant the capitalist, and all in easy circum-
| stances, as the plunderers OF the poor We have
not the slightest doubt that vast amount OF the
crime-ncendarsm buralaries, robberles and i'm
moralites of the age, have been produced by these
constant endeavors 10 excite certain classes OF the
community against others. 1t was by precisely SINH
lar attempts al exciting class against class, that the
bloody and violent commissions which marked the
progress OF the French revolution produced.
| In France, indeed, there actual OF an
| tagonsm between the few and the many But in
this country there is the slightest foundation for
| discomfort amongst the masses Of the people. No
class need here despondno class can here find just
cause of murmurng against the social system. Here
industry reaps its full reward. There is no excuse
for poverty in any man who is able to earn his
bread. 1t is the greatest deuson in the world, in
| any journal, set Of men, to attempt TO
convince any reasonable mind, that there exists any
serious amount OF desttution in land like this,
blessed with soil of inexhaustibe fertility, an
1nequaed climate, and population small
n comparison to the extent Of territory. IF
there are poor and destitute in the large
cities, they have been made So in most cases,
| by their own folly, Incidence, vice. In
