SocIALIsM.-A reactionary journal describes the
measures adopted by the Communists in France to
propagate their opinions. The agents who circu-
late through Lyons generally conceal their mis-
sion, under the disguise of dealers in matches, &C.
These men are usually gifted with voice slike STEM
tor, and as soon their peculiar cry is heard the
disciples collect to purchase the peculiar literature
which is so dear to them. Not a few of the regular
vendors of newspapers conceal the Socialist jour
nails among the sheaves of publications, the sale of
which is their regular business.

sake of the Offices. Many are not unwil-

they say that General TAYLOR is carrying
out the Democratic doctrine of removals
from office, on the true Jeffersonian sys-
tem-and that if he is equally faithful to
the true Democracy in other respects, they
may have no good reason to find fault
with his Administration.
