Ed. WAVE: AS soon as the happily con-
ceived embryo Of the TIDAL WAVE came to
light did not entertain the least doubt OF
its promising perfection, strength and wis
dom; but when I perceived the dear little
fellow running after the fantastic scmbre of
that gigantic figure. Victor Hugo, deter
mined TO beg Of your usual kindness to allow
me TO make few passing remarks upon the
characteristic display of that enormous glib,
Victor Hugo as he made his appearance
at the CRATES Of g Hasteville House on the
22d November, 1868, and reproduced by the
TIDAL WAX on the 18th January, 1869.
q Will Spain,r shouts Victor Hugo; (which
at one blow has just overthrown and Invested
itself Of all the opprobnous relics Of the past,
Of fsnaticism absoluiion, the scafiold and
divine right, keep the most odious feature OF
that whole past, Slavery etc, etc.
Now, either Victor Hugo is incapable Of
knowing what he says and writes and then
1 SuOulu od9 4ncAtCc SuFu &c tPsoM' Wv
Tor Hugo, you cannot remain proud unless
you remain FREE" or Victor Hugo is n l a
frantic man (Which doubt), and then, again,
either | must excuse him as foolish igno-
rant creature, unable to Distinguish truth
from falsehOod, morality from immortality,
honesty from dishonesty, etc, or must con
slider Victor Hugo as a malicious man, and
endeavoring, as the devil and the leaders OF
that excommuncsted society, to which he
evidently belongs, do, to break the marriage
ties, get hold Of mothers and daughters, and
Gil up private dwellings. asylums, prisons,
cities and Kingdoms with illesltimste of
spring, show women, infanticldes, vagabonds,
robbers, murderers, and finally strangle the
last faithful Christian with the bowels OF the
last priest, etc. !
Indeed, what does Victor Hugo mean by
congratulatng the noble lSpaniards for hay
ing just overthrow and Invested themselves
OF the opprobrious relics of the past-of ia
naticism, absolution, the scalioid " etc.
Well as to dbsotuticn, the sInless Victor
Hugo need not to be afraid ii may rest upon
his frantic head as long as he exhibits him
self with such fantastic figure at the CRATES
Of Vaudeville House Jesus Christ impaired
ASSOCIATIONS, the Apostles impaired associations
aud the Roman Catholic priests do, shall and
will impart associations until the consumma
ton OF the world, in spite Of the gigantic
Victor Hugo and his associates.
AS to fanaticisIn, the scalfuId," etc,
would the sound minded Victor Hugo or any
Of bis condisciples please To meet the humble
undersigned in any public assembly and show
him historically, sta istically, truly and hon
estly where there are more prostitutes, IN
fanticides, illegitimate children, robbers,
murderers rascals and fanatics, assylums
and prisons, in England or in spain, in
France or in Spain, in Germany or IN Spain,
/ in the United States Of America or in Spain,
in Scotland or in SpsinS etc.
Again, does Victor Hugo honestly ignore
/ that Prim and all bis followers are but few
dishonest, reckless, immoral, corrupted and
unnatural sons OF infernia2 And finally,
that Spain, as Catholic country, mas always
condemned slavery Let the fantastic victol
Hugo and his friends study Balmes and al
the Spanish morslists; let them take iirs
into their consideration the hundreds o.
thousands Of slaves aud victims Of NictOl
Hugo's liberty before they Judge others, ant
thus Victor Hugo will learn, II he has yet I
single and simple spark of honesty, decenc,
and reason, TO be better man.
