PARIS, Sept. 20, 1871.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
MY letters OF the last few weeks have shown tho
relative principles, motives and positions OF the two
parties to the late civil war at Paris On the one
side we have seen royalistic Parliament. which
had been sprung upon the nation BY the rural
priests mediate the political emasculation OF the
great centres OF Intelligence the only permanent
security Tor monarchy In France. On the other
hand we have beheld the capital. alarmed none TOO
soon at this conspiracy to subjugate the
cities, draw the sword, and appeal to the
country IN favor Of communal indepen-
dence and repubcanism. We saw 1t Keep

relnforoements supports. Its sister cities having
been induced to leave 1t to its fate, through the
Rdrot lying Of the rovalists, who reported that
Paris intended to assume the dictatorship OF
France. and also through the still backer perjury
OF Theirs, who kept swearing TO Marseilles, LYONS
and Bordeaux that If allowed to deal with am.
bilious PARIS as he wished. the republic should be
held intact. We then saw Versailles recruited by
the Prussians from the German prisons and Paris
murdered by their aid. NO sooner was this black
'treachery performed than Theirs. despising his
oaths. proclaimed monarchy to be his choice. He ct

because his ambition has taken new slant.

IHB CARDINAL DOCTRINE or THE INTERNATIONAL
SOCIETY.
The International Is an organization OF the work
ing classes OF all nations, who believe That the
present form INTO which society has worked Itself
Is o false, artificial and unjust state OF things,
tions upon which man was entrusted with
the possession OF the earth They hold That
land, water, air and all natural elements arc

value upon the application OF labor; that labor,
therefore, Il the great source OF all the wealth and
production OF the world, and as such. IL cntled 10

duces but OF the political power necessary to insure
just distribution and watch over its own safety.
