i The PHILOSOPHICAL CoNvENTioNs-MoDERE Re-
roRMERs.-The Industrial Congress" is still in
sion, and the one-and-twenty Solomons OF whom it
is composed are busiIy engaged in discussing their
plans for the amelioration OF mankind-the universal
diffusion of wealth--and the solution OF the great
mysterious problem of the age" A long-winded
address, delivered by the President of this wise as
semblage, Mr.. Hart of Illinois, is published in the
Fourier organ OF yesterday. II discusses with un-
fathomabe skill the science Of government-politi-
cal economy-laws-abuses the rich commiserates
the poor-taks in the usual wild strain of the re-
organization of society, and altogether answers the
description given by Bassana of the oraorical eff
forts of Grationa "Gratona speaks an infinite deal
OF nothing more than any man in all Venice; his
reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two
bushels of chaf; you shall seek all day ere
you fnd them, and when they are found, they
are not worth the search" Robert Owen has
also an address in the Tribune, TO the "gen-
tlemen connected with the press OF the United
States," in which he places himself in the same
category with Calico, Columbus Watt, Fulton,
Franklin, and other ilusrious worthless of the past,
who were long and severely opposed by the press,
although they were engaged in prosecuting discove-
ries from which the world now derives incaculable
advantages.
But this is not all. The appendix to the "World's
Convention is still in session at the Police Office
1t has been exceedingly rich in characteristic deve
lopements Of the intelligence, wisdom, common
sense and respectability of the modern reformers-
We give the report Of the proceedings to-day, not
having had room for it In yesterdays Herald BY
the way, take this opportunity of saying, that we
meant no disrespect to Justice Drinker in our re-
e
therefore, entitled to respect But we do not regard
any of the members oi the Worlds Convention"
or " Industrial Congress-, or any OF these ridiculous
and worse than ridiculous assemblages of fanatics,
fools and knaves, as entitled to respect Their rant
ings and rawlings and disorganzing publications and
addresses are calculated to produce mischief, and
only mischief, In society. Already we have seen
the wicked fruits of these detestabe movements OF
revolution and disorganization. twasthe persever
ing efforts of the Tribune, and other Fourier and
volutionary organs, that contributed largely to the
melancholy instructions in the anti-rent districts,
which have resulted in outrage, blood, and the con-
demnation to the gallows and the State Prison of
vera OF the misguided dupes OF our "modern re-
formers"
In fact, the absurdity-folly y-knavery-free and
easy notions Of right and wrong -detestabe views of
marriage and rights OF property of these "reform-
ers' have been painted to the life in Burns "Joly
Beggars" The chorus appears to have been writ
tentor the industrial Congress- and 'sWorlds Con-
vention' -
A fig for those hy law protected
/ Liberty . glorious feast.
Courts for ccWaids We're erected,
Churches built To please the priest.
What is title what is treasure
What is regulations care I?
If We lead q life Of pleasure,
'Tis no matter how where
A 6g, &c.
| With the ready trick and fable,
| Round we wander all the day;
/ And at night, in barn stable,
/ Hug our doxies on the hay.
| Afg, sc.
Does the train attended carriage
Thro' the country lighter rove
Does the sober bed of marriage
/ Witness brighter scenes of love
| fg, &c.
Life is all variorum,
We regard not how il goes
Let them cant about decorum
Who have characters to lose.
A fig, sc.
Here's to budgets, bags, and wallets
Here's to all the wandering train
/ Here's our ragged brats and callets
l One and all cry out, Amen
