The Congress of the Internationalists at the Hague terminated on
Saturday last, and the results, which we have elsewhere examined, were principally these :—The Federalists, who were against a political organization, were beaten at all points, and some of their chiefs driven from the society : —the Centralising General Council got a great victory, and its power was lodged in the hands of Karl Marx and his friends ; but the society was broken asunder by a double secession ; not only were the English, French, Spanish, Swiss, and Belgian Federalists alienated, but the strongest French Centralists, the party of Blanqui, seem to have been alienated also. The Parisian workmen declared that, with all their respect for Blanqui himself, they repudiated the followers of Blanqui, desiring no secret association, but an open political victory for the Proletariat, which should result in abolish- ing " classes " in France. Hence the Blanquists retired from the Congress, and are now disaffected to it. The net result is a victory for the German Centralists, who have beaten (and of course alienated) all their opponents, to be worked, as a corre- spondent of the Independance Beige says, by Germans, the new Council to sit at New York, because neither at Leipzig nor at Berlin will they be permitted to sit. It is but the German Bump of the International which has migrated to New York.
