The following letter from Mr.. Jefferson
shows the light in which that philosopher
views the new system Of society, introduced
BY Mr. Owen.
; Af9nticeiio Oct. %, 1924.
Sir: return thanks for the pamphlet you
/ have been SO kind AZ to send me on the sub
] icct of commonwealth Its moral prin-
ciples meet entire appreciation, its phllan-
Z thropy especially, and its views OF the equal
rights of man. That on the principle OF a
communion q property, small societies may
: exist in habits of virtue, order, industry, and
peace, consequently in state OF as much
: happiness as heaven has been pleased to
~ hSdl OuE W llilJNIiCtt HAHit>Hlt1 4 SiH e"N
:, ! ly conceive, and indeed, have seen its proofs
7 !, in various small societies which have been
+ constituted on that principle; but do NOT
!. feel authorised to conclude, from these, that
!, an extended society like that of the United
i States, or OF an individual state, could DC
I, governed happily on the same principle.
| look to the diffusion of light and educa-
ton, as the resource most To be relied on,
/ for am"lioiating the condition, promoting
4 the virtue, aud advancing the happiness OF
% man. That every man shall a)c made slr-
n tuoas, by any process whatever, IS indeed
y no more to bc expected than that every
&c tree shall be made to bear fruit and every
y plant nonrishmcnt; the brlar and branble
can never become the Vine and olivc, but
their dspeiities may be sottencd by culture
and their properties improved to usefulness,
&c IN the order and economy OF the world. And
n do hope, in the present spirit OF extending
I'd to the mass to mankind the blessings OF in
e. structcn that see prospect Of great adj
y vanccmenl in the happiness OF the humas
~ race, and that this may proceed to an IL
h drfnite, although not 10 an infinite, dcgiee.
c, Wishing every success to the views Of Jour
" society which their hopes can promise, and
es thanking YOU most particularly for the kind
r expressions Of your letter toward, myself,
salute you with assurances of great es-
