DOCTRINE OF AssAssmAnox,--We published
yesterday an account Of preliminary meeting
OF number OF European exiles who propose
to honor the memory Of Orsini and Pierri, the
assassins lately executed in Paris, by walking il
procession, with Grape On their arms Tt
meeting was spirited, harmonious, and very
original One speaker considered the act Of
these assassns worthy of Washington aud La,
fayette; and Gan Irish gentleman" recon-
mended the public at large to have likeneSes
of Pierri and Orsini in their houses "next T.
the image of Christ" There was no disguise
about the views of the speakers or the an
dience; they ''went in" for murder purely and
simply, and some of them, no doubt, would be
as good as their word if a fit occasion presented
itself
We find the doctrines of these admirers q
murder and assassination put forth from tine
to time in their newspaper organ, which, it NEED
hardly be said, is the Neao York Tribune That
Journal lays down the new ism-assassination-
in very methodical form in its issue of yester>
day morning. Assassination, it says, whea
practised on 'an imperial villain, eut-throat ana
traitor" "involves No moral turpitude," and de-
serves no censure. On the contrary, 1t merits
applause, as witness the foolish nonsense which
poets have sung about Harmodius and Brutus
Louis Napoleon "would not die as BELTS him II
he died otherwise than by the hand Of an as
sassin" The Tribune writer. as might be ina
gned, does not confine his vindication of assam
sins to those who want to kill Emperors; his
sympathies are larger than this. He calls upea
Allsop to assassinate any one who tries to arrest
bin; and he adds, modestly referring to self and
friends of course, that if Ailsop don't care abous
committing a fresh murder, "others will be
found in plenty who will" 1t will be seen that
our cctemporary's new murder doctrine is .
very complete and pretty affair.
Judging it only practically, we don't think K
will work. II is not necessary to assassinass
Louis Napoleon to carry on the government a
France. When the proper time comes, there
will be the usual revolution, and Louis Naps-
leon will either get killed fighting or will run
away like Louis Philippe and Charles the
Tenth. How near this is and how easily it win
be accomplished when the times are ripe for il
can be easily seen from the cool way in which
the Chalons officers went to the Project to inquire
if the republic had been proclaimed yet before
they turned out to fight for the empire. There
will be no assassination needed when the horn
| sounds; the Tribune and its friends will Cad
their vocation gone.
We only trust that in their disappointment
they will not deem it necessary to transplant
their theories to this soil, and try to inauguratc
assassination as political method here.
The BROADWAY RAuRoAD.-It is attempted
to defend the Broadway Railroad by arguing
that it will not travel the whole distance in
Broadway, but will damage some side streets
as we'll This is no argument in favor of the
bill. If the road only travels single block in
Broadway it will do irreparable injury
| The whole truth of the question is on one
| side; that no railroad is needed in Broad way.

mischief; on the other, that parcel of speos-
