While We heartily approve and commend the

propagandists, since France has already Jar out
strioped us in the race for Universal Freedom
Uoiversal Ssfrase the immediate Abolition oi
Slavery, the abolition Of tho Death Penalty Tor
treason sedition &c, and the general reduction OF
Salaries and Expenditures, show that France has
little lief. TO learn of u.s. and that little volunteer
committee from our shores could hardly be expsc'
ed to teach her.
As 20 ishtiog. there is certainly no immediate
prospect Of any and no cause Of apprehension az to
the result. 1.-THE workmen OF the three great CAPT

forces of Royalty and Democracy, SO long AZ the

shall arrive. the great want Of the Liberal cause
will be- not Bsyonets but Bread. With good

We earnestly exbort our Crusader and any FIVE
hundred or fifty thousand who may sympathize
with him not to waste their time and means in a
voyage and visit Of what will seem idle parade

and, mastering all their force, strike of II once

head OF navigation ON the Trinity or Brasos in
Texa--and there, under the direction OF their
chosen leaders, erect dwellings, and having
turned all their spare cash into cattle sheep, seed

many thousands Of acres of wheat as possible this
