Of this expose the Intelligencer's CORES
pendent says, it is quite enough to account
for the antipathy to it Socialism felt by"
him, and asks
"who does not see upon what utopian impractical
bic theories he would spend the vital energies OF
the State. to what criminal excuses he would soon
andinevitably be led r.
Still, ugly as it is, he contends that this
is not bad enough for true portrait of So
cialism, and gives the following anecdote as
far more illustrative and Hfelike:
q few days since a drunken disciple Of the Po-
lit;ca and social doctrines Of Louis Blanc was stag
geripg along the iaubourg St. Antoine, doing his
best to be upon both sides of the street at the ane
time, and amusing himself the while by shouting
between his hiccups, " ViUe la RepubtiQue Demo-
crotique et Sociaie i' One Of the by standers ap-
preached, and with smile asked him what be an
derstood by the Democratic and Social Republic
"ParbleuI" replied our hero, (hlccuP) II IS the
Republic that will prevent lhlccup) my landlord
from collecting the three quarters rent that owe
him. (Hiccup)'
Now, full as the world is of gulls, we
doubt whether many are so gullible as not
to see that this aneedOte is from the Cartier
Police mint-no matter whether it was
enacted or only fabricated. That Socialist,
beyond doubt, was got up for the occa-
sion, and is one Of numerous family Of
Socialists who have been uttering blasphe-
mics and threatening butcheries throughout
France (per order with the generous intent
of aiding the assassination of Universal Suf-
frage and the passage of Louis NapOleOn's
Dotation. We have no doubt earlier could
tell how much per head these Socialists
cost his Government, if he only would.
