THE FRENCH REPUBLIC . TO THE EDITOR OF THB K 0 P . THSBX STAB . Sih _, —I have seen in the Sria of the 11 th inst .. a copy of one of that great j and good man '? , ( Mr W .

It was sung in full chorus by the old Republican _^ _"fho sends yon this in 1789 , not one of those who assisted besides the writer being now alive . —A . B .

But now ' mid th . triumphs these moments reveal , Their glories all fa . de , and their lustre turns pals ; "Whilst France _rises up , and confirms the decree That bids millions rejoice , and & nation be free . As _sprins to the fields , or as dew to tbe flower , lathe earth _parched with heat as the soft dropping shower ; As health to the wretch who lies languid and wan ,
Or rest to the _wtarr—is freedom to man . "Where Freedom the l « ht of her countenance gives liere only he triumphs , thert only he lives : Seize then the gUd moineat , and hail the dectea .

A WELCOME TO LOUIS-PHILIPPE , "We do not cheer thee , faithless king , Nor shout before thee now ; We have no reverence for a thing So false of heart as thou : We form no czowia to we ' _eame thee , Asd yet , we cannot bate—T « _ou parricide of liberty—An old man desolate . When , in snch sudden dark eclipse , We see thine overthrow , The hisses die npon onr lips , We turn and l * t thee go . "Poor vagabond of royalty , So _abject , so forlorn , The greatness of tby misery Shall shield thea from cut seem .

APPEAL TO THB PUBLIC IN BEHALF OF THK WIDOW OF WILLIAM TELOM , POET OF INVERURY .
Committee : —Provost Thorns , Rev . George Gilfillan , Rev . J . R . _M'Gavin , Dr Arrot , Mr James Westland , Mr Patrick Watson , Mr John _Wafnon , Mr James H . Ower , Mr William Boyack , Mr "William Bet ? , Mr James Chalmers , J an ., Mr Arthur _Begff , jnn ., Mr Thomas Saunders . Treasurer—Mr Patrick Watson . Secretary—Mr William Boyack . The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of tha Jate William Thorn , the gifted but unfortunate Poet of InTerury , beg leave briefly bat earnestly to appeal to the Public , m > re espeeiaily to the Public of Scotland , in behalf of the trust which haa been confided to them .
The name and genius of Thorn are well known and univers illy acknowledged ; many of the feeling and p & thetio _elusions of his rause have been brought before the public , not only in a combined form , but in various periodicals . His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges ; and the Messrs Chambers , in their Journal _, hate devoted a chapter to his autobiography , and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled . The life of William Thorn has , indeed , combined the vicissitudes of a humble ehild of the Muse 3 , having formed a scene of trials and disappointments , accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress .
Many of his earliest and best years were _passed at the Ilawkhill of Dundee—the _remembrance of whieh seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; fer thither , to nre his own emphatic _language , he wished to return , _lika a bird that flutters round her forsaken neat , to spend big latter days in comparative peace and quiet . His wishes were fulfilled ; for not many months ago be did return from his wanderings , debilitated and impoverished , and breathed his last on Munday , ihe 28 th oi February . He bas left a widow and three infant children , th 9 younge 3 _t-bat five months old , totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund , in order , if possible , to afford them permanent assistance . A Committee has beea
appointed , who have cheerfully undertaken this duty , and already they are happy to announce that their call bas been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner . Lord Kinnaird . Lord Jeffrey , Messrs Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers , and many others , have _spontaneously sent their _contributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and -the admirers of native genius and unobtrusive merit will support and encourage the l __ . d-. bl 9 object which the Committee have in view . Dundee . Mareh 10 , 1848 . Contributions will ba received by any ef tbe Members of Committee ; and at the shops of Messrs _Chalmers , Shaw , and Middleton , _Booksellers , and Mr Mills , Perfumer .

Death Of Williah Thom, The Interury Poet...
DEATH OF WILLIAH THOM , THE INTERURY POET . TO THE _EDISO * Of TUB BORDEE _COtFKIEB , Dcbdee , _Fvbruary 29 . h . 1818 . Sre , —The painful _taik bas been deputed to me of an . _nouHcing to the public the death of _vriftiBm Thorn , the laTerary poet . For some time p _»« t he had been ia delicate and declining health ; and hit diieaitd state of body was donbtless aggravated by the uncertainty of his circumstances , and the consequent anguish of his honourable and sensitive mind . Ye _» t « rdiy , In onr city , at half past eleven a . m ., he departed this life . He has left behind bim lomething more than a name—some true and beautiful strains , which , as ' 6 _thiaf of beauty is a joy for ever ' the world will not _willing _' y suffer , like the
_inscription on the coffin , to he burt » d In the tomb . He has left behind him , alas ! something of yet tenderer and more mournful interest—a widow and tbree children , the eldest of whom it only four yeaTB , ana ths youngest hut a few months old . These are ' utterly destitute , ' and bnt for the kindness of one or two prirsta friends , might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets . I make no appeal in beh alf of the poet himself ; 1 After llfo ' s fitfnl fever , b _» sleeps well . ' He bas found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find , and which to bim was peculiarly grateful—Test . Nor wiU I _indnlga er _sxprets any Tindictive feelings at to the _treatment which he received while yet _fllira . A true poet , he met with truly poetic usage . He was caressed , but uot fad ; as if one could sup en incense _, or as if one public dinner conld keep a man -lire for years ! Bat I would bespeak gtneral sympathy in behalf of bis destitute family . I would implore eTery
lover of literature—everyone who has derived pleasure from the departed poet ' s lyrics , or from the simple story of bis life—to prove tbeir pleasure msd tneir _gratUnde true bj _aomimora . ubitantial _erltience than exclamations or tears . I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival , and heard almost his latest breath given fort ' s in those brief , broken , bnt thrilling accents—accents bow far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy _satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meetieg with , and hearing ; him for the last time . No time ought to be lost , Indeed , no time has bsen lost . Intimations to tha above effect either have been , or are immediately to be , despatched to Douglas Jerrold , Charles Sickens , Lord Jeffrey , and others . But as Dundee has had the _hoaour of containing bis deathbed , let as follow tha stMt we hava _aceiientally gained by instant , active , strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns .
Hessrs Chalmers , _Hiddleton _, and Shaw , booksellers , and Mr Wells , perfumer , have kindly undertaken to receive donations . The smallest sum will be welcomed , 1 am Sir , yours truly , GEOEGE OllFILtAF . The last verses of the late William Thom , written shortly before hu death . : —

CONTRAST _BETWEBK TWO STATES OF SOCKET ? , OSE
EMANATING FBOM THB LAWS OF _MEK ASD THE OTHES PROM THE LAWS OP NATURE OR GOD . There are not many men and woman whose minds hava been so expanded a * to be enabled to grasp the whole arrangement and coaaeqaenoes of two totally different and opposite syBtemi for forming tha character of _maa , and of governing tbe human race , and then , with _, . out the prejudices ef latitude and longitude , draw a just aud _unbiaiied comparison between them .
Xet _tuch are the minds required to form & rational conc _' _usion between two opposing systems for thc government of mankind—between two distinct states of human existence , oae emanating _Bolely from the laws of men , opposed to facte , and tha other _proceeding from tbe laws of God . sustained through all past _ageB by every knewn fact . The one hag desol & ted the world with wars , violence * , contentions , and repulsive feelings , _producing' endles » crimes , and their conscmunt miseries . It is calculated
toeffeot these results . The other will produce Knowledge , unity , charity and _everiaeressinfr prosperity . It possesses the power and capacity to insure to all _thesa permanent blessings . _Wheasver the prejudices of latitude and longitude can be overcome , the extraordinary differences between these opposing systems for tbe government of the world , cannot fail to make a deep and _lasting impression upon all who Shall give their attsatioa to the Bubject . The difference may fe « thus shortly stated : —
1 . The system which has emanated from the laws of men cultivates , ani very imperfectl y , a small portion only ofthe powers and faculties of tho human race . 3 . It gives such an Injurious direction to the exercise of these faculties , _as to produce a moat _imperfect character , physical , _msntal , moral , and practical , in all ; while by a right education and direction ef all our faculties and psweri , with much less cost of capital , _labour , and good _feeling , a very superior character may be insur . dtoeach individual . 2 . This system preveuts the creation of an _tnormous amount of the moss valuable _wealth , and _produces , with a large capital , and great , severe , disagreeable , and _ubhsalthy manual labour , a much smaller amount of weilth _, and generally of inferior qualities .
4 . It distributes this wealth in the most unjust , _inefficient , injurious , and expensive manner . i . It has created , and now _supports , over the world , _opposing systems of _superstition , at a most extravagant expenditure—systems which derange the human faculties , and compel men to act unjustly , unkindly , without ebarity for human nature , and most irrationally , to the injury of all , and benefit of none . 6 . It supports codes of laws , based on ignorance , aad supported at an _enarmcus waste of capital , talent , and honesty , opposed to God ' s laws , and thereby creates universal disorder and confusion .
7 . recreates and supports ths spirit of war , and earrlas Us evils to an eiteDt that _b-ffl-aall attempts to place them with the vividness of truth _before the mind ; for war is not onlj the great demoraliser of mau , by mafciug brute force the highest honoured power which he possesses , but i : destroys tbe means of existence for millions and gives a false direction to the physical and mental energies Of humanity . Had the nations ofthe _world but a correct knowledge of the loss and sufferings created by their armies aad aariss , there is not one individual , prince or peasant , civil or military , wbo would not abhor the error , and use his utmost endeavour to terminate for ever all motives for war .
8 . This old system , by its innumerable physical aud mental errors , fills tbe world with disease and accidents ; and , while _keeping the mass of the people ia worse tban brutal ignorance , renders the medical profession , like the prerlonsly named profession * , necessary to maintain the system ; The loss by the productive aad educational power * of society , by so many naturally talented Indi . viduBlBb « in _ engaged in this profession , and so placed as to hare an apparent interest In opposition to their fellews , is not only a great evil , by preventing all persons being so trained and educated ai to become their own best physicians or health adrisers , but also a very large pecuniary loss is thus sustained annually by society .
9 . This old _nystem _hai created and supports the most vieions system of producing and distributing _wealtha system by which man is greatly demoralised—his best _facoltiei being continually occupied iu mercenary _speculaUonsto obtain _aioney _; _flrsl , to pnrchasa those things necessary to a comfortable support of a family ; and , afterwards , to acquire pjwer and _iafluance In society , to be applied for individual purposes , regardless of the _Interests of others . The pecuniary loss by this erroneous arrangement is mora than sufficient to insure permanent prosperity to the whole of _aoclsty .
10 . This system , so long as men shall remain so insane as to support it , la opposition to the laws of God aad to the highest and best interests of their race , will permanently keep the inhabitants of the world disunited aud opposed ts each othsr ; will for ever prevent the introduction _inpro « tie « of universal charity or kindness , or a good , Intelligent , and rational character being formed for the human race . This is a true description , without exaggeration , of the present system , which , through tha want of on education based on trae principles , is now supported iu opposition to the introduction of a system based on the laws ef _Go-l , that would secure to themselves , in part ( but fully to their children ' s children , te the end of timu , the most important permanent advantages : —
1 . Becanio in this system , based on the laws of God , all the faculties aud natural powers ef all individuals will be well cultivated and duly exercised , from birth , in p roportion to their strength and capacity , and tbus will thay be made of great value to themselves and society . 2 . Because it will give a natural , and , therefore , a right , direction in praetlce to the organs , faculties , aud powers , of every individual , in order that they may be at all times exercised io tbe point of temperance , to secure their physical and mental health .
3 . Because , by this training , edue . _tian _, and exercise ofthe physical and mental powers of every individual , such a character will be formed for each , that the necessity for any of the professions will gradually diminish , until they entirely cease ; and thus , besides _overcoming the enormous amount of deception , error and crime , with their consequent misery , wbich these professions now hourly produce throughout society , there will be rest masses of wealth created , which these professions now waste or prevent being produced . 4 . Because , under this system , by a simple and beautiful arrangement , a surplus of wealth , all of superior qualities , will be annually produced , with great pleasure and advantage to the producers and consumers of it .
5 _, Because this wealth , bo produced , will be _diilfi 6 u (« ti with little trouble or expense most beneficially for tbe _advantage of all , and to their entire satisfaction . 6 , Because , under this system , realities , ana not mysteries , will occupy the attention of all ; by which change , more valuable knowledge will be elicited among . mankind in one year than has yet been usefully introduced in a _ctntury , 7 , Because , under this system , justice will tahe the place of lata ; and all differences , if It be possible for
such to _aris 8 in a state of society based on the laws of God , will be promptly decided by arbitration , without expense to either party , and with a view also to permanent reconcilment , IndWiaual punishment auu reward , after the present generation _sbal ) have died , and every one shall have been educated from birth in the principles and _practiooa of this new system , will be altogether unnecessary , as well as prejudicial and moat unjust , and therefore never adopted . Tbe only code of laws in this system will bo Nature ' s laws , made plain to all , easy of adoption , and always beneficial in practice .
. 8 , Because , uader this system , tear cannot exist _. There will be no motive for it ; for man will be cordially united to man , and nation to nation , throughout the earth . AU will be made too wi 3 e not to perceive tfce gross immorality , extravagant waste and loss of _property , and Utter madnesB of war , or of party or individual divisions , to give the slightest encouragement to either of these evilo . And thus incalculable wealth wil be Eared to the world , for the _uie of its inhabitants ,

v . Because , under . 'his system , health will take the place of _d _& _ase . The _« . " _* ' »« ot disease will be greatly remoredfar from the whole 0 ? the population , ao maybe discovered b y tho inspection ot the practical arrangements proposed , and the mods of conducting tbe business of life , by those so placed , ti *» ined , and educated . 10 .

The Proposed Improvement Of Society . Th...
THE PROPOSED _IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIETY . The _difKjrsnce between governing a _population whoso character has been based on the laws- of _JTafcmrg or of God , and oae wnes < _i character has _busn based ! on the laws of _nwin , will provo beyond present estimate . The period for introducing a _sys ten * of society based on the law * of God , for remodeling the _character of man , and for governing tbe population of the earth is peace , unity , progressive improvement , andf happiness , is near at band ; and it is evident , from tho signs of the times in the four _quartern of the world , thit no human power can long resist the change _.
Tbe governments in all countries will _eoam be com . pelled in thoir own defence to adopt this- superior _ej'Fo tem , to prevent their being involved In anarchy wars , and ruin , from within and without , Thia change will root up nnd utterl y destroy the old vicious and miserable system of ignorance , poverty / iE . dividual _competition , and contest , and of national wars , throughout the world—a flystem baaed on men ' s laws , in direct opposition to the most palpable facts . Instead thereof , tbis change will introduce another system , in accordance with all facts , based on tho laws of Qoi . creating an entirely new mode of human _tiUtsnee , in which competition , strife , and wars will cease for _ev « r , and all will ba trained from infancy Bolely to promote each others happiness ,
This system can be the best commenced by convincing governments of the truth of the principles on which it is founded ; and governments , by the adoption of right measures , are as _eapable of conviction as other claeseB of individuals . There must be , also , a sufficient number of Individuals united , imbued with tho geaulae spirit of universal charity , affection , aud philanthropy , and instructed in the beBt mode ef applying these virtues to _practice—virtuos which can emanate alone from a fail and earnest knowledge of the laws of God . They roust likewise possess patience aad perseverance to overcome all the obstacles which the prejudices created by the laws of men will oppose to their progress ; and , above all , tbey mast be united , have full confidence in each other , and be directed by one heart aud one mind ,
Under the system formed upon and governed by tho laws of men , the great majority of tbe external circum . stances created by man are of an inferior and vicious character , while those that emanate frem the system formed upon and governed by the laws of God will be ofa virtuous aud superior character only ; aud as _there circumstances are , ao will man become . Under the existing system , based on men ' s laws , 258
individuals cannot be supported in comfort on a square mile of land of aa average quality , while , under the syt » tem based oa the laws of God , 500 _miy be immediately supported in abundauce and ia blgb comfort ; end in a few years , when the arrangements of each union shall be completed and the land made , as it gradually will be , into a garden mould , and judiciously cultivated , upwardsof one thousand may be so maintained , surround * d with all the most desirable appliances .
And above all , it is the decided high Interest of eveiy human being , whatever may be their class , sect , _bcz _, party , country , orcolour , that tbis change should be now effected with the least loss of time . _Robbbi Owbn . Washington , June , 1816 .

• _Fratorniiio , ' but the word equality was upon to objections and taunta . 'Oh- ! - ' said some , ' you desire _soeial equality ; ' now he , tor one . did not , nor _did'ba think it _possible there ever _coald be social equality- ; but what he _desired'vMis-io abolish the _inequalities-of legislation . ( _Loudoheers . ) i But were they to go to that book to whieh divines pointed ( the Bible ) they would seek equality _^ of condition —( hear , hear)—ior therein it wa » olearly _enough indicated that * All men are brethren . ' ( Loud : _« heem . _J This was his first appearance as an advocate of the principle * of the People ' s Charter , and . ha had como forward from ths inmost _eonviotiong of hia- _fifcu !; he had advocated other changes for ten < year * past , and was now thoroughly convinced that nothing short of the
_sovereitnty ef the people , as exemplified in the People ' s Charter , could ever right the wrongs of the state , and _aceomplish perfect freedom . (( Jre „ t and prelosged cheering . ) Italians ,, much as they liked it , had thrown acidd smoking .. Thero were other modes of operating on the revenue . Whatever means the people might determine on adopting , of this be was quite certain , if they were firmly resolved , it would not be many weeks before they had tbe Charter . ( Great cheering . ) The people were told that there was plenty of money in the City now ;; and he , for one , advised all that had any money in the savings * bank , to go and "et it , as they _dUt not know what * day might
bring forth . ( Hear , hear . ) And under peculiar circumstances , money might _baof great service to them , ( Loud cheers . ) Let ameetinj * beheld in every parish each with its own head , all _acting under the Executive Committee , and resolve to have the Charter at all hazards . ( Greatcheering . ) .. Mr _MAnaYAT , in seconding tbe motion , said ho had always been a Chartist from his birth — _anU hoped to die one—and _nas happy _toiwauoh mvn aa Mows Vernon , Jones , _Harnay , and M'Srath amongst them . ( Loud cheers . ) If they only romainfld true to themselves , a faw months would see England as frea as France was now . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr _Ebnkst Jones _cawa forward amidst the most enthusiastic cheering , to support the resolution , and said , the time had now arrived when principles had fco ba defended by something more than wordsrhetoric was useless now , deeds were the demand of tha day—and to their consideration let them proceed . ( Hear , hear . ) It was now too late to attack or defend _prineiples—bnt as Mr Vernon had made a rallant speech , a good Chartist speech , he wished to point « ufc ta hia notice one mistake he had comniiUed . He had opp sed equality—wished us t' _< drop it from our motto , and merely keep freedom and fraternity . Without equality these could not esist—but tbe equality we desired was not equal misery—or rqual indolence—it was equality of _political , civil , and
religious rights — and without thi 3 equality freedom could not be , nor brotherly love exist . ( Loud cheers ) It had also been advanced , that vre should gain the Charter b y paralysing _gefernrfleiit in abstaining from tobacco and spirituous liquors . Government were deficient in the revenue , and it was said , this would _increase the deficiency . lie ( Mr Jones ) doubted it . If they lost one tax they would lay on another ; tho Whigs wero far too skilful swindlers to let the poople profit by their abstinence . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho w _» b in favour of abstinence from spirits and tobacco , but the people must look to a better means , —thus while tbey were denying themselves a pleasure , the eriitocraey would ba rioting in splendourand take with the left hand what they had
, passed orer with the right . ( Cheers , ) He preferred quicker measures , —while the grass grows the steed starves , and when a few weeks would save impoverished millions , be was not one who would advise the millions to linger in misery for year ** . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The speaker thea submitted to the meeting a most complete plan for th » Metropolitan Cbartist organisation , preparatory to the session of the National Convention , This plan was rapturously applauded by tho meeting ; and in alluding to the eountry , he strenuously advooated simultaneous meetings , on the day for presenting the petition
throughout the country , ihe petition ought not to be _ajwJi'Vonthis time , but , if they did their duty , il would ba a command . Want ofsp ; _tc « precludes our givint ? an outline of the admirable plan of organisation proposed by Mr Jones , which , however , if aeted upon would soon effectuate tbe wishes of the people , and make the national procession no mere unmeaning show . To this ho _udded the precautionary measures sf uovernment , and adverted to how far their constitutional authority extended . This well-timed address was greeted witb frequent and protracted burets of applause .
Mr Wra . CuFEiT , iu supporting the resolution , said , he was happy to find the meeting in such good humoar ; ho was in high spirits himself . Tha work went bravely on . ( Loud cheers . ) The Chartist party appeared to him to be the only party that could effectually secure such a change as would give increased value to labour , and greater security to all . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Cuffay said it might not be unwelcome to those vrho were newly come amongst us—and they were many—to hear the ? principles of the Charter . ( Hear , bear . ) He here recounted the several _poiRta of the Charter , the fall of Mctternich , and tho despotism of Austria and _Pausaia , and appealed to aU England , Ireland , and Scotland , to be up and doing . ( Greatapplause . )
Mr _Alexan-dbr Campbell said thirty years _Pgohe was an advocate of all the Chartists now contend for . The sentiment that the Chartists were the only party who contended for the-rights of the people had induced him to come _forwjud , as there were parties vrho for many years hack advocated both the moral and Bocial rights of ths people . GhurtLsm _, unless accompanied with an iadustrial organisation , would be useless . He _prasumed that Chartism meant the political representation of the masses , but they might have universal suffrage and universal
suffering at tbe same time * ( Hear , hear . ) . It was necessary to have an organisation of labour _efiestcd immediately—peacefully and legally effected . Political _frozdom would _sorely follow moral and aecial elevation . He _congratulated the French on their moderation in the hour of victory , and trusted that the peeylo of _Englan-1 would have charity to all , remembering the unfortunate circumstances under which some of Ib & _ii- fellow-beings had been placed , IA voice from tbe gallery : ' Campbell , this is very cold water . ' ] Loud laughter , and very great ap . _plauee , at which Mr Campbell resumed his seat .
Mr M'Grath came forward | _amid loud oheerinp , and said—That with much of what had been advanced I by Mr Campbell he fully concurred , but from l _^ any other things said by that gentleman , he as widely dissented .. ( Hear . ) lie did not _di-ny that otW parties were seeking some amelioration of the people ' s condition—nt the same time he considered Mr Jones justified when he averred tbe Chartists to be the only party _wlio struggled for tha whole political rights of the , whole people . { Cheers . ) Mr Campbell claims credit for the Socialists as advooates of the rights of the people anterior to the Chartists . It is truo that tho Socialist _naino was known before that of the Chartist , but tho Socialists never contended ior the political rights of the people . ( Hear . ) On the contrary , the efforts of the people to gain poht ' . enl power have not unfrequently been derided and _oppofca by Soci & liaC _leotareM . _Bsar _. ) Mr _ATGrata _ib-cu
