MR. OWEN, THE REV. MR. LAMB, AND THE
PRESBYTERY OF LANARK.

I'O 1111 ZDITOR.
Sta,—As the misconceptions of Oat Rev. Mr. Menzies*,
and of all the Reverend Gentlemen who compose the Com-
misfits etthe Presbytery of Lanark, have been made evident
by documents which may be inspected by any one ; and as
thepublic hive bad sack good cause to find that these gen-,
limes were in error from the commencement of their state-
mats to the sod of them • it now only remains for me to
reply to that part of the Rev. Mr. Lamb's letter, in which
he gives what he supposes to he a correct view of the sys-
tem which I advocate, in opposition to the eiisting system
of the world.
It is necessary to infer& Mr. Lamb that although he Las
stated some of the principles of this sylitem correctly, he
bas yet erred very mach in his conjectures 'respecting it
generally. And many Most absurd notions on this subject
have been gilsn by various other writers. It therefore be-
comes of importance that a full developemeot of the prin-
ciples of the new system should be fairly placed before the
public mind.
If that system shall proVe to be opposed to nature and to
fact, no one can be more anxious than myself that' it should
be immediately rejected by every one. But if, upon a dis.
passionate, and, as far as it is practicable, an unprejudiced
examination, it shall prove itself to be in strict accordance
with nature, and with every fact which the human mind is
competent to investigate and to ascertain; and it it be also
found calculated to ensure a more extended and a more
immediate and rapid improvement in the condition of all
classes, than any system which has vet been promulgated,
then am I desirous that it should receive such sanction
from those who govern civilised soziety, as shall be the
means of enabling the population of the world to obtain
this important amelioration, in the shortest possible time,
without violence or opposition, or suffering of any kind,
except that which may arise from the reluctance to relit'.
quish old irrational notions, however injurious these may
have proved themselves to be.
I will as briefly as 1 can explain this novel subject to the
üblic • but as it would occu t teeny columns ia yo
'
paper to give the whole in one dayoo , I shall divide the sub
Jett into three or four letters, each of convenient length for,
one day's publication ; and I hope to have the first of these
ready for the paper which you publish on Thursday next.
I am induced to adopt this course time more willingly, in
order to put an end to time useless and senseless diseussions.
which, I understand, frequently occur, respecting the prin.
I Fie lei of the new system, and the practices which it is cal.
Lebiated to produce.
To these letters I request the calm attention of all classes,
mots and, parties. And it becomes the duty of tiow,e who
.41'11 be able to detect an error in any one of them, to come
las/steed and expose it to the public ; more especially that
of the Clergy and the governments of all countries, who,
in fact, are entrusted with the formation of the !rattan cha-
racter, and the direction of human affairs.
ROST. OWEN.
