The French Revolution.

luton. Ii dues not merely substitute a great many
kings for one; it requires that government shall real
y be the servant of ;he people. 1t goes at one step
far beyond any republicanisn which has been pract
cally carried in this country And there is need
that 1t should. Such republlcansm ours, however
it may do for us would do little for France 1t would
do just a. much, and more, for her blouSeS, her
hungry millions of cheated producers, than our re-
public does for the slaves of Southern States.
The truth is that the industrious classes Of France
hungry. They do not for their utmost toll get
enough fairly to keep the wolf from the door. The
question Is, how they and their little shall not
starve. There is souess sort of people, hume
rous perhaps in this as in any country which God
has created, who do not regard this question of any
moment.
They see nothing but danger, calamity and ruin in
the French Revolution. They look into the future
like SO many solemn ravens and croak.
| Poor dniy gizzards! The hunger and hopeless
ness of millions and the starvation of thousands is
very tolerable to them. But o don't endanger pro-
perry! Don't reduce the price of stocks Don't
carry your radicalism into practice. The Chrome
type The only Boston paper which announced the
news of the fall of Louis Philippe GLORIOUS
showed any signs Of confidence enthusiastic SYM
pathy in the manifestations which came to us by the
former arrival We verify believe that there
people in Boston, and pretty great prople in their
estimation, who sympathise much more with the feel
ings of the Emperor Of Austria this occasion than
with those of regenerated France. Why, instead of
haing the glorious of the Caledonia with out
bursting Joy and letting their Joy ooze through their
editorial ink, most of city editors copied their
the wretched. souless, cowardly comments of the
European Times, paper which, for lis part in this
natter deserves rather to be burnt by the hangman
than to be circulated among freemen.
The Problem which cried from the depths Of un-
speakable human agony to the muckworm Louis
Philippe for solution was How shall the masses find
remuneruting employment! All he did to point
a hundred thousand bayonets at the throats of the
sufferers. He was busy marrying off his progeny
and increasing his money.
The same problem has stared the provisional gov
eminent i'll the face and they have faced it like
They have shown their determination to grappe with
it men best can. They are beginning to do some
thing. The light which is in the world on this great
social problem they earnestly give heed TO.
The system of Fourier-Charles Fourier who is
considerably revived and ridicued by conceited ig-
here and everywhere-is the only system with
n soul and idea in 1t, which has never been tried
in this world. Communism was tried and failed long
ago And other dreams have failed. But Fourier
ism which Processes TO be founded on great fnnda-
mental principles of our nature theory has taken
n deep hold in France. 1t has able organ in Paris
in the Democratic Pacifque, organ which has cost
the Guzot ministry trouble and anxiety Of late
than all the violent and radical papers put
together. The great ideas of this paper everywhere
appear SAILS oars, and rudder TO this revolution.
Unconsciousy to most of themselves probably, the
leading minds of the revolution have imbibed its spirit
and tone, and among all the Paris papers this seems
to be the only which has held its straight
forward.
We copy from lis columns the following paragraphs
which extremely significant
ssSocIALIsT MOVEMENT OF THE PREss.-The great
events OF the last ten days have dlssIpated almost
every where the prejudice against social doctrines.
The sentiment of universal brotherhood is the
raying point of all generous hearts and enlightened
intellects. The journals of Paris and the depart
mcnts, without exception, have come upon our track
they have to understand that the present ques-
ton is not political but social one they have
freely unfurled the socialist banner against which
most of them Just fighting, and which the
rest accepted only with reserve.
Hence it would be impossible for us to give to-day
list of the reproductions of the Democratic Pacif-
que. The placard entitled PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
l-REFoRM FOR ALL" has been copied by all the pro-
vncial and foreign presses.
Every day, since the 22d of February, we have
been unable to open any journal without finding in it
some of articles. The light is created; social
doctrines which dlsdaned as UtOplan are now
recognized as of great value. The seed which we
have been for seventeen years sowing, having sui-
cently terminated IN the heart, every where sprouts
above the surface, and every where finds laborers
ready to hasten its growth
The Provisional Government, we have already
seen, has taken very important steps towards carry
where in discussion, the means of solving the
great problem of humanity.
An example of the faith that is put in these doc
trines is found in the following -
"The Northern Railway Company" says the cor
respondent of the Daily News, "has announced It's
purpose of making all individuals of every rank and
class in Its employment, from the president of the
company and the engineer-n-chief, TO the humblest
station man, stoker, and paelayer, virtual partners
IN the enterprise, and partcpators in Its profits Pri-
vate establishments one by one following like
