Mazzini andLonis Rlano.

While Kossuth is seeking to inspire
America with an effective sympathy for Hungary,
Joseph Mazzini has taken the field, to do the same
thing in England, for Italy. He has been speaking
in London, Manchester and other places against the
Austrian and Papal Governments, and has read 10
London exposition Of his views and hopes OF Ital
ian liberty Mazzins doctrines, like those OF Kos
suth in favor Of non.interventon to be obtained
by the moral power Of England, who might warn
Russia and France the against interfering with
Hungary the other against crushing freedom in TIA
ly. BY such aid England would secure the religious
and commercial liberty of his country.
In the course Of his remarks, Mazzini spoke very
slightingly Of France, in the following terms:
The cold, negative, destroying work Of skepticim
was completing under French influence, ffourishing
with French influence, some twenty four years ago,
when 6rst felt that life was battle and march
1t has left behind, still weighing like an incubus
the heart OF the nation, gigantic corpse, apns life.

eye away.
To this and various reflections upon the Socialism
Of France, Louis Blanc responds In long letter to
I've Leoder in which he declares that faith in Lib
erty is more vivid and constant in France than any
where ese which point he illustrates at length from
the history Of the last revolutions. The following
passage will be found interesting
Since the name OF Louis Philippe falls under my
pen, must eeds recall the true causes of his disas-
Iops end. That Prince was gifted with tncontesta-
bic qualities his domestic virtues were Of nature
TO command respect he was not wanting In en-
lightened perceptions he was humane liberty IN
der his reign had not, after all, received mortal
wounds and the bourgeolse was indebted TO him for
the yepose il so dearly priced. How was it, then,
that in 1875, not a man rose up to defend him
Whence comes it that he was ovefthrown in few
minutes, with gesture and shout 1t is that he
had consumed eight years in struggling against all
that there was Of cbivalrous, against all that in the
highest acceptaton Of the word, may be called re-
ligiOus, in the genius Of France. He was not be.
lever In the religion OF humanity he a ske ptc.
That was his crime in the eyes OF France and that
is why his power fell, SO to speak. without having
been overthrow, almost like rotten fruit dropping
loose from branch without breath OF wind to stir
the leaves. No tits not true that the cold mega
nonsl, destructive work of skepticsm has been com.
psted under French influence, under the influence
of country which. within space OF half century
has engineered that band Of lofty minds gained al
once, or soon won over to the religion which NJ
Mazzini wo,ihps.
Louis Blanc concludes by promising another letter
especially devoted to answering the Socialist objee
tons Of Mazzin and declaring that the vote OF De-
cember proves nothing at all.
