heroic-for the first time, sound form Of rcpubll-
cap government. Then again, re-appears the arch
enemy of man. with his old schemes Of rebellion
against truth and God, glded over with the most
| specious pretenccs and impostures. Brother is
| arrayed against brother. The streets of Paris run
| with the blood shed in fratrcidal conflict Amid
| demoniac shouts and yels, socialism proclaims
another shor,-lived triumph.
Again in this favored land, the same sort of evil
influence sets itself to work Crafty adapting IL
| self to the good humored and indugent character
of our people, it catches their eye by studied af-
| tectation of eccentrcity of dress and manner 1t
plays the mountebank in the public streets 1t
amuses the boys and "children of larger growth"
by little tricks, quite stale, and beginning to
| be thoroughly understood. Then it rants of a re-
! pubcanism still more republican than any the
| world has yet seen; and social system in which
| the honest man and the rogue-the industrious cl-
| tizen and the loafer-wlll be alike prosperous and
respected. 1t ridicues the Christian religion and
joins its snuflng whine with the obscene ritual of
| communism and atheism. Entering another field,
it fasens itself of the great political par
ties of the country, and minges its spurious polit
cal economy with its pretended advocacy of respec-
table and Christian men. 1t &c mouths the heaven
in its basphemous talk and, after first attempting
to rob mankind of their hopes of heaven 1t arrays
class against cass-the poor against the rich-la-
Dor against the results of labor-man against man
sowing everywhere the seeds of discomfort, dis
union, confusion, anarchy, RIGHTEOUSNESS and So
| clal ruin.
| In all this we the workings of the master
hand; the results of the same restless genius, in
|
| up revolt in heaven-made Eden a desolation-
tempted the Saviour of mankind-pouted France
with wild and bloody anarchy; and now, with its
soiled boots and short and greasy pantaloons-its
long, dirty boards and immense shrt-colars-and
its everlasting whine about the 'tyranny of the
rch," the "atrocious robbery called property"
'phalanxes," "farms" ''associations," "attractive
street-sweeping," and harmonious cobbling,"
impudenty attempts to impose itself upon the sober
good sense and sound intelligence of this commu-
nifty. But we can't grow such things here. Our
| corn and pumpkins do much abound, but social
ism, or satanism, is not thriving plant amongst
We do not dig in ''phaanxes," but in placc,s I; and
the old enemy, disguise himself as he may, cannot
conceal from the horns and the hoofs 1t is pro-
bable that he is already prepared to confess that
socialism, hereabouts, is can obsolete idea," not
worth even pair of dirty boots or short pantaloons
or an old white hat on the back of its head Try
again, cold Clootie."

much truth and veracity the professions of poll

LATE FROM BERMupA.-We received yesterday
the Bermuda oyallGasctte of the Oath ult. The
convict ship Neptune, sailed on Sunday, the ed
ult for the Cape of Good Hope, with 2S9 passen-
gers from the convict hulks at Bermuda, amongst
whom was the patriot John Mitchell. BY the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Gazette, it will be seen
that Mrs. Mitchell and family were not passengers
In the Neptune =
1t is not correct that Mrs Mitchell and family were
passengers to these Islands in the Neptune stated in
some Of the New York papers. We understand that
Mrs NJ had taken, or was about to take passage in a
vessel going direct to the Cape to meet her husband
| there.
The town and vicinity of st. Georges was visit

companied by lightning and thunder. The hail
did some damage to the glass.
| ANNIVERSARY DINsEn.-We have on hand an
interesting report of the Anniversary Dinner in
celebration of the French Revolution, which from
want of space and the press of other important
intelligence, is unavoidably crowded out until to-
| morrow.

Caicos Passage steering south We think it probably
the steamship Crescent City Capt Soddard hence
for Chagres.

During the past year, out of forty-two, five have
| been restored TO their friends and two have been
converted; several have withdrawn and gone back to
the paths of infamy The most interesting case was
that OF German girl, who two years ago left her

means conducted to house which proved to be dsre-
