Stn,—At the conclusion of my last letter, I adverted to the extraordinary resources which society had acquired through the inventions, diecoveties, and improvements of the limit half century. I stated also that the practical means being known by which these powers might be applied to meliorate essentially the genetal character and coudition of mankind, human nature could not much lunger submit to remain in its present state of suffering and degradation. Some of the more enlightened and powerful states must now take the 'lead in directing a chauge which is imperative ly called fur, by the new circumstances in which we are placed, and of which, even if it were possible to oppose it with effect, it would be the most unaccountable impolicy to attempt to resist the introduction. The free eqnstitutions of Great Britain and the U-nited States of America, and the consequent enterprise of the people, peculiarly fit the inhabitants of these countries to be the first to enter upon this career of improvement. The governments of both emanate from the people, are sup ported by the peop le , and they cannot retain sufficient power fur the due adiniutstration of the laws, in opposition to the will of the people. within the last 50 years, Great Britain alone has derived from mechanism and chemistry a new scientific power, which now exceeds the manual labour of some hundreds of millions of adults, and to the further extension of which, no limits can be assigned, and if the population of the British Isles dues not yet amount to more than 23 millions of souls, bow comes it that the great mess of these people, whose condition ought to have been improved in proportion to the Increased poster, this obtained, not only have out been benefited, but in many respects have experi enced a retrograde movement, since its introduction ? If the United States, as well as Great Britain, are in posses. sion of a territory, incalculably mare than safficient, when we consider the late extraordinary progress in all time arts anti sciences, that conduce to the easy supply of the wants of life, to maintain in full comfort and enjoyment, twenty times their present population, why have not measures been adopted to secure this comf and enjoy. ment to the small number who are mine scattered in their widely extended dominions? These are questions waicia the British and American people will necessarily ask, acid to which answers must cc necessarily be made. On the part of the Governments, the only reply Can be, that the existing arrangements of society, in both cuun• tries, contravene the natural and beneficial application ofl scientific improvements, and preclude the great majority of the people from participating in the benefits to be de rived from the progress of human knowledge, an I that, before this highly artificial and grievous state of things can admit of a remedy, the public vast declare itself prepared for an entire change of system. To this alternative society most come sooner or later, all over the world,and as no one individual is really benefited, but most vitally injured by the continuance of the present system, and as, on the contrary, none will be injured, bus all will gain essentially by tlic ch togs, no goad reason AO pears why any time shout., he loit, in adoptiut prepatatury measures fur its commencement in both countries. Let the example be set by Great Britain sad Americt, and there can be no doubt that its in:hence will soon ex tend over the whole of Europe. The South Auwricans are quite ripe for the change, and it is ino/t necessary to tran quillize their divided and distracted country. Many of the leading individuals bat:► in Europe and America, to whom the new principles have been communi cated, are convinced of their trial, and have expresird themselves friendly to the proposed ameliorations, and some of the present Soverigns on the continent have trans mitted to me the most decided marks of their approbation of the course which I have paroled. My intention therefore is to recommend, as a prelimi nary proceeding, the establishment of a certain number of communities in Wreat Britain, Ireland and America, the regulations for the condiminz an I governing of which shout.! be founded on principles •v Inch masse been explained in my former letter-. I have already, on inviy aubwitted to the pnhlie io detail .pelt arrangements 45, with reference to the working. classas at [era . , appears to hen to co,upreliend a comhinaloa of eireamsbames most favourable to a richt application of their industry, and to a substantial and permanent improvement of their general condition, physically. mentally, and morally. I aid hoc - ever far Irons seem/rug that these arrangements are no; susceptible of ant-uoloont. On the contrary, 1 sill caste that experience will point oat many defects, and sulgest many beneficial attractions. Hat I believe alma! w a o r y.r modifiratiene the plan tray r.quiru its de.ail•riu princi ple it can admit of no in d owatias. As ..14/11 as une conialanity *had be established upon the s princkde pro,u.cd, t!:e iu%otaitaul:s at: thz sdrroanlii:s , t . l .? . .“' district will not fail speedily to discover how much they suffer by not adopting similar arrangements, sail when such institutions shall prevail generally in any one country, the example io like manner w<il inevitably operate upon neighbouring nations. A rapid change therefore may be anticipated, a change altogether different in character from ordinary changes among men and nations. These have proceeded at a very low pace. For when an improvement is discovered under the old system. the individual first with whom it originates, and afterwards the nation to whom such individuals belong, do all in their power for their ono supposed advantage, to circumscribe the knowledge of it within their own limited circled Under the new system no motives can exist to this narrate-minded and vicious policy. Every useful invention or discovery will he no reservedly communicate' to every part of society without exceptioo, to India ideals and eouutries. As the sun shines and the rain descends upo a all, so will the improverneuts, which the human mind in any runner of the world may achieve, he freely . distrihu'ol to toe whole family of man kind. And it is in this interchange of good offices, so ad vantageous to all, that the commerce of individuals and of natioa.s will s priucipally consist. Some Ilan of the public will, I have no &sob', continue to say " The 'man who contempl rtes so vast and so rapid a change in the state of society moAt be a visionary, or he must be mad." lam equally certain however that as soon as they shall attempt to explain in what the vision or mad• Dees consist., they wrih,likeali thoFe who have already made a similar attempt, only farther expose the weakness and irrationality of the system under which they 'have been educated. by national losns,lrranted at . duals who shall compose each interest to be secured on the ' to the association, which by , Applied, of all its members, value of the 6xe 1 pro?erty, become equal to any national fel country, could offer. Tilt of every country , that which directly appropriated in the' and educate the poor, the regenerate as it were the character and conditions i before any real advance can I observe that the Committee of the Ha :se of Commons, which sat the last Session of Yard invent to enqaire into the employment of the ;:our of Ireland, have, iii their report taken a very imperfect v:e.v of the measures which I recom mended for the p, rmanent relief of the population of that country. Theyappear nut to have approached the subject as statesmen, whose 'Mails were made np to probe to its source the cause of the evils which a:diet that devoted country, and boldly to recommend time only adequate reins ly. And any other course of proceeding than this is little better than tantalizing the feelings of nearly one third of the popula tion of the British ides, who are no.v existing in a state of unparalleled degradation and misery. Ireland requires that its population should be well employed ; that it should be trained and educated in better habits ; that its produc tions should be more beneficially distributed; and it should be made a source of strength, and not a cause of weakness, to Great Britair. These great national objects can be obtained only through systematic arrangements such as I have proposed. But this auliject I shall renew at a proper season, for it is not my intention to relinquish the cause of Ireland, until the condition of its inhabitants shall be, as it easily might be, es. end:illy improved. That which now remains to be more particularly explained is the mode by which the great change which I recommend can be cat 441 into execution without injury to in lividuals or to govern ments. In the first place, it calls for no premature disturb ance of existing institutions. It disclaims all violent means, as being certain to defeat its objce. Whatever futuis of government may exist in any country, it is not only not necessary, but it W 30.1 be highly impolitic, to a tempt 1 , any inroad upon them, bzfure the minds of time great mass of the people shall be prepared to receive and appreciate the ameliorations which are intended to be introduced. It is in this particular point that all projected modern reforms have failed. The promoters of them, however good their intentions, commenced at the wrong end. They began by seeking to destroy the old fabric ; before they laid the foundation of any other, or before they knew where the foundation ought to rest. Such has been the error of at tempted revolutions in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and South America. Every vile passion has been called into frightful activity ; millions of innocent victims have been sacrificed, and yet how little real good has been attained The reform now proposed deman Is no victim of any des scription. Every Government in the world will find it to he its interest to adopt measares for its introduction. No change of the individuals, :mt present administering govern ment, will be necessary or will be desire I by any party. The priests and clergy of all countries and denominations, will retain time advantages and privileges which they at present possess. Nothing mere will be required from them than to teach and preach t hose principles scotch enlightened men of all- ages have ever considered as the essence of every religion. They will train the rising geaeration and instruct the adult population in those divine precepts which when disencumbered of all disputed and doctrin ml points, cannot fail to bring down heaven iipou earth. Tney will therefore teac:m au I preach only love, charity, pea. e. and good-will to the whole Imamate race; and when they do this with sincerity and truth, as every motive will then induce them to do, they will he surprised and gratified to find how soon these virtues will universally prevail. It is the dis puted and doctrinal points of all religions which necessarily produce all the bad passiun3 and feelings that now pervade society. But for these, mankind, with the aid of the re sources which they now possess for the easy production of whatever can conduce to the enjoyment of lite, would im mediately live in peace and harmony and goodwill together, all co-operate for the benefit of each • even those Wll3 are now the most inveterate enemies Of each other, would speedily become sincere and affectionate friends. An I can it be imagined that any clergyman or priest, prufesising any faith or doctrine, whether disputed or not by others, would swerve from his duty were he to wake it his chief object and constant practice to teach love, charity, peace, and good will to ad mankiud ? Is it possible, is the nature of things, that men can possess the ability to per form any other real service for that great incomprehensible power which animates and directs the universe, than to contribute to the utmost of his faculties, to the happiness especially of all those, his fellow beings, whom that power has brought into existence? This, and this alone, is true religion, pure and undefiled, and will remain untouched, as such to the end of dine; nor according to the belief which has been dm eply im pressed on my mind, is there any other of the least prac tical utility. This, then, is the only faith and practice which will be required from the members of the new communities, in ad dition to which, provided it shall permit them to practice the virtues of love and charity, without exception, towards all their fellow beings, they may profess, and follow the ceremonies of any faith whatever. Ni fellow creature will be blamed ur found fault with for his belief, whether he be Jew ur Christian, Mations, Ilan or Ilin 100, a disciple of Con fucias or a Paptil,.l.rt hint iu his practice but uniformly evince love, charity, peace and guJil will to all his fellow creatures, and lie will be freely a Ingtte.l into this ne.v church, of which it is not um, hoped but confidently expected that all the churches iu f.se world will ultimately become only so many branches.
