Fourierlsm In Franc e-Its Results.
From all the accounts and evidence that come
to hand, concerning the recent terrible lnsurrec-
ton in France, the inevitable conclusion to
which the impartial thinker must arrive is, that it
owed Its origin to the communists, socialists and
Fourlerites of France, assisted by money, which
was unsparingly distributed among the infatuated
workmen or ouvriers of Paris by the agents ofEng-
land, and other monarchical countries in Europe.
The moment the government of Louis Philippe
was overthrown witnessed the Vaccinations of
Louis Blanc and his associates in Fouriersm, to
achieve something for the workmen and poorer
classes of Paris more than they had ever received
before, and something more than it was in the
power of any government to bestow or to secure
to them. They imagined that the long-looked for
period had arrived, which would witness the real
ization of all their dreamy hopes and anticipatons;
and they were determined that the opportunity so
long coveted, should not be permitted to pass with
out profit. Their demands and their intrigues
caused much uneasness to the provisional govern
ment, the members of which, in the delicate posi-
ton in W. 'ch the country was then placed, found
1t pruden, to adopt temporising policy towards
them, rather than risk the formation and future
establishment of the republic by direct rup-
ture with them. Not satisfied with the es-
Enlistment of national workshops, in which
they were provided with work by the State, they
in short time grew holder and bolder. until final
ly they conceived the plan of invading the Ma
tiona1 A ccemblv and ove rtu that hodv Tho
attempt, however, was frustrated; and at the
houses and on the persons of the parties arrested
were discovered documentary evidence, which
showed, beyond doubt, that the scheme owed Its
inception to Fourierism or socialism or commun-
ism.
Such being the state of things about that time in
Paris and such the disposition of the thousands of
workmen of that capitol, favorable opportunity
for counter revolution presented, which the in
tguers and agents of the Bourbons, and of the 60
vemments of England and other monarchial coun-
tries were not slow to take advantage of. Money
was accordingly distributed broadcast among
these fanatlcal and disconnected people, and the
suit was, as we have seen, an insurrection, which,
in the skill, bravery and talent with which it was
planned and conducted, as well as the quantity of
bloodshed which it caused, is almost without pa
struck-for four long days and nights the fighting
ragged between the workmen and the troops, but in
the end the republic happily triumphed, and order
is once more restored.
From the Developments and discoveries that
made at the restoration of order, there is lit
tie doubt that Fourierism and monarchial intrigue
were the causes of this lamentable affair The un-
fortunate and fanatic workmen were taught by
these designing and skillful leaders, that, as they
were the main instruments in bringing about and
achieving the revolution of February, all the bene-
fits of the change should enure to them, without
considering for moment the improperly which
they were committing, or that any class but them
selves were entitled to any. Hence ensued their
Populations to the National Government their
demonstrations of physical. force, and their noisy
attempts to ntimidae the government. Their de-
mands not being complied with, they presented fit
instruments for carrying out the designs of foreign
agents and emissaries, many of whom were seen
among them during the late sanguinary insurrec-
ton.
Such, in our opinion, are the causes Of this re-
volution. In the main, this terrible catastrophe
sprung from the evil effects ofincendiary doctrines,
lnst into the minds of the resident populace
by the Communists and Fouriertes, and others of
that Xix, VINO nave MADE GdrlS tnelr nedu luarterSs
This is placed almost beyond the shadow of a
doubt, by the banner of red the banner Republigue
Demotratigue ct SOciaie, which was hOisted during
the insurrectlon by the insurgents and on the
other hand, by the discovery of vast sums of mo
ney IN their possession
Here then we have proof positive of the aw-
full consequences to which this dangerous doc
trine of Communism leads, and the recklesness
and daring of all law, ORDER and propriety, which
characteriZes those who preach it. And yet this
Isl the same doctrine which the philosopher of the
Tribune in New York, and his Fourier associates
for years past, with a determination and perseve-
rance worthy a better cause, to inst into tie
minds of the people of this free and happy republic
Were it not for the intelligence of our people,
which put its seal at once on the principle and
crushed the viper and Its incubation, he might,
of blood similar to that which has just taken
place.
lit is source OF joy and gadness to all WELL
wishers of France, and to all the friends of ma
surrechon, stimulated and aided by monarchial
intriguers and monarchial gold, has been so
promptly put down and we hope that if any future
attempt of the same kind should be made by those
fanatical men, that they will meet with the fate
that has been visited on those who acted the re
cent one. The moral sense and the physical
power OF the rest Of the country are, as has been
proved, competent to put these dsorganizers down,
in Paris and throughout France; and 1t Is matter
of doubt whether they will renew their attempt !;
and henceforh we think they will be kept in their
proper place. IT., however, they should again rise
in arms, and endeavor to carry out their principles
at the point OF the bayonet and in violation Of all
law and all right, we hope and we believe they |
will be as successfully put down as they were re-
Gently.
