But the point establish here as my conviction
is still disputed ameng those meR who are con.
sdeYed as the foremost sontinels Of progress and
Liberty. ID forms even the very point OF separa-
ton betweea two great fractions Of slfe rcvolu-
zionist party, for there is fraction Of that party
that makes the economical revolution just spoken
OF to depend on a previous realization Of what
they call political liberty.
Icommencs then by giving you an account OF
the quarrel which arose some months since, be-
Sveen Mazzni and some Of the principal Socialist
chiefs, and which has led them &c a complete rup.
tire 1t is the great internal war which divides
and tears the party of the revo.uton-t - the
final separation of Revolutionary liberalism and
Revolutionary Socialism.
Rer0iuti0a end rero'ufi0Aish are common
terms but Liberalism and Nationaism on one
hand, and Socialism and Cosmopolitan on the
other, are distinctive appellations which are nov
leading, and which sooner or later must naturally
have led, to antagonism between A'azzini, with
perhaps Kossuth on one side, and the French So
calists on the other.

of A. Bianch Qate Editor Of the J0~rEei de

philosophers and statesmen of Socialism, CADET,
Landolphs, Jules Leroux, ex-representatiyes OF

being exiles.
The Socialist manifesto consists Of Maz1inis
attack, the answer provoked by that attack, and
a correspondence with the Nation well fitted to
confirm what said to you respecting tho deep mis-
understanding dividing the two rival camps where
the revolution is doomed to deyour its most ener-
getic children, and to waste its forces either in
useless struggles or in idle discussions, or even in
personal diat1bes still useless and more per-
nicious.
In fact, Mazzini has thought proper to take the
initiative and to hurl against the Socialists quite
vehement accusation. There are no less than ten
heads in u which can be resumed thus: " Instead
of fayorag revolutionary action, the Socialists
have pernexed it by discussing their particular
systems :" they have eneryated it by pointing out
to the revolution an aim, happiness on earth,
and tho organization of labor as a means. He re-
proaches them with having said: Gan that France
owe. to Europe is the solution Of the problem Of
| the organization of labor
The Socialists, thus accused, could not dispense
with replying. They answered accordingly, re-
pelling the distinction between the Socialists and
Reyolutonists falsely imputed to them by MAJ
zini. for they Say they believe themselves to be
| Reyolutionists par excellence, because they aim
not only at a simple displacng OF power, but even
AZ the transformation of society itself.
| I'VE accuse Mr.. Mazzni,' they say again, " Of
pointing out the problem Of material interest, as
the only object which Socialists care for, whilst
it is certain, and is proved by all their writings
that their main object is to widen the horizon o.
thought, to elevate the level of human dignity, to
make accessible TO all the springs Of intellect
whilst it is certain and is proved by all their wri-
tings. that ifthey seek with powerful and in
dcmitab,e zeal, the suppression Of misery, it is
above all, because misery keeps man in ignorance
drives him to vice, inctss him to envy and hatred
foIbds him the most noble )ys OF love, and tend:
70 degrade and blemish his immortal soul"
at is not at all, as Mr.. Mazzin seems 10 be-
lieye. because it was said France ores + m
rome only the solution Of the problem Of The or
gani:oiioa ofiabor, that France hiss had to suite
the shame of the 2nd ofDecember. For that sham
she is indebted rather to an abominabe series {
calumnies against socialism, calumnes which Nh
Mazzin now repeats and which have spread ter
ror abroad in the public mind; she il Indebted 70
il to that word teton, which the socialists nav,
always been careful to connect with the encour
aging IDEAS of scientific progress and social organ
iLation. and which Mr.. Mazzini, on the contrary
would always render vague, unexplained, indefn
ite, significant of war, nothing but war, anno1n;
ing revolution for the sake Of revolution, and Ieay
ing all the rest to chance"
