Bot on all these subjects am too much tyro TO
write to you more than few words, accomplished

fruit Of nv own reflections upon the scraps that
have received from others Ia the same manner.

The general impression in the cosntry is. that all

whether they shall tall before insoent Commerce

The soul Of the English you mey take my word
for IT, is decidedly monarchical, nor will they cede
their Queen 10 any other necessity than Economy.
II experience shows us iudsputably that we can
not afford Royalty, we shall, no doubt with regret
lay it down; bat We have every confidence that
Roy atty may be made inexpensive, and that the
outlay Of establishments is the abuse OF our
form OF government, and not only unnecessary, but
hostile 10 its permaRence. Ny own prayer is, that
we may preserve for ages OF ages our Constitution,
and the French their Republic; that both may
adopt Association, and that splendid contrast OF

| cannot conclude this better than with an ex
tract from letter of our friend HUGH DoHERTY,
dated Paris, March g. "The Organization Of Labor,
says he, the great question OF the day, and the
Provisional Government has already established a
permanent Commission TO study and realize practi
cally and experimentay the various questions OF
Industrial Association. All Of usAssociatlonsts are
all exceedingly busy here in organizing and direct
ing the propaganda OF our views. We are on the
best possible terms with the Provisional Govern
ment, and particularly with De Lamartine. The
present ideas of Republic have no resemblance
TO those of 1923 Ours is ssocial and pacific Repub
tic which nobody fears and OF which every class OF
Society has the best hopes. The workmen are
most heroic and devoted more reasonable and in-
tegent than the little middle classes who are afraid
of the stagnation of Commerce. 10 a word all goes
admirably well, and peace with all the world is the
only and universal cry.
p. S. Allow me to hint that the riots in London
aud elsewhere have at present no meaning beyond
pilsge, they are the creation Of thieves and pick
pockets who have artisticay worked up the Revo
luton into an occasion for the wholesale exercise Of
their calling
