sons paper, however criminal il may in itself be con-
sidcrcd But after all, the article from which we
have quoted is not the editorial Of the Libeyator
II 10 merely copy Of one which appeared in jour
nal Of this city, notorious for its advocacy Of
Founierism, socialism, aboltionism, spiritu-
alim, Margaret Fullerism, Maine-lquor-law-ism,
and all the other absurd or demoralixing theories
which have their origin in crascd brains 1t is hard
" necessary to mention the name of the Tribune
MS the paper to which We allude Its commentary
on Preston's case was of such furious stamp that
even Lloyd Garrison despaired Of being able to pen
more violent one. He considered it chef d Gurve
of abOltionism, revolution, and violence, and con-
tented himself by transferring it into his columns
for the delight and ediGcaton of his readers and all
wOolly -heads.
This is one Of the modes in which our phosophic
contemporary establishes his claims to responsibility
and support This is of the proofs that he gives
Of the deep and abiding interest he feels in the well
being, prosperity and perpetuty of this Union. This
is part Of the evidence of his hatred to despotsm,
which no would prove to the world by sacrilegiously
working for the demolition of this great and glorious
republic-freedoms only home on earth BY his
acts he forfets all claim TO the character of philan-
thropis, which, most paradoxcally, he desires TO be
considered For the qualification Of his own paltry
insanity, he is engaged in unceasing attempts TO
kindle the fires of social revolution among us, and
to embroi the people Of this country in an internal
war; which would inevitably result in the disorgani-
xation of this great and glorious Union. Such con
duct should be branded with the disapprobation of
all who feel pride and glory in being citizens Of

who regard these reckless agtators in the light
which their deplorable course merits. Can the
Southern wings, with any regard to their own con-
atitutional rights, fraternze, any pretence, with
such men as Seward and Co., who are encouraging
these avowals and these courses at the North?
CELEBRATION OF FOURRIER's BIRTHDAY.-lt
seems that the admirers Of Fourier, the French
socialist, celebrated his birthday at country place
somewhere down on the Now Jersey shore, where .
number Of these visionaries-men and women-have
associated together, and call it the North American
Phaanx. Several Of these dealogsts went from this
city to join in the celebration. They had dinner
in the afternoon, fancy ball in the evening, dane
ing and enjoyment, and toasts and speeches, and
all such things that mark similar celebrations Some
Of their toasts very significant of their doctrines
and their expectations in the good time coming.
II appears that the condition Of women is not yet
satisfactory to this portion Of society," bat they look
forward to the time when the rights and liberties Of
lovely woman will be acknowledged in the fulness
the coming age.
This North American Phalanx is the last Of the
Fourricritc associations, numbering twenty thirty
which have been attempted in this country during
the last ten years. They have all fallen through
broken up become bankrupt, qusrreled, separated
and come to naught There may be one or one and
a half still in existence somewhere out West but
this North American concern, Of Jersey, is the only
ono that still hangs together in very loose way,
this side Of tho Allegheny mountains. This PhalanS
consists Of tolerably sized farm, stocked with cat.
tie and horses and Fourrierites Of both sexes They
are queer oct Of Missionaries, and look on Fourrol
as the modern Messiah of the present age who was
actually sent on earth by the Divinity to enlighten
the world, teach his dnty, and woman hei
rights, (which she has been deprived since the
creation Of the world. They are curious company
Of enthusiasts and ,isicnaries--half amiable, hall
ontemptible-occupying very much the same posi-.
ton as the enthusiastic admirers Of Tom Paine OF
yotare q any Of those great philosophers OF past
times, hose believers still assemble on the aunvor-
sares Of their birthdays merely 10 crafty ,itde
i,i9 vanity and oddly.
