The System Of Property Of Associarion.
SO many false views exist n=thc public mind
with regard to Association. that principles. for
which we have the greatest repugnnncc. will be.
imputed to ". I, Is important 10 connteract false
impressions as much possible. the preju,lice-

The doctrines advanced bv OwTy. F,xxY
WRIGHT and some others have poisoned the pub
lie mind with regard TO Association and a Social
Rei"rm. Their ideas Of Community of Prop
erty, abolition Of Religious Worship, &c, have
excited the deepest an,ipatlly and the strongest
l"ejudces against the magnificent problem, Of As
sociiltion. For the doctrines OF these persons we.
feel dislike and concmpt; we have nothing IN

principles are much mere to be condemned than

a great many persons suppose that in advocat.
ing Association we advocate a Community of
Property. because they haze been before coupled
I
Community of Property entirely; consider it
the mos, false Of principles and til" grave of
individual Liberty. It is old principle which
has been often proposed 10 the world and which
has been revived by some modern Keormcrs, be-
cause they had not gcnu. enough to discover
true system of Properly and a. plan for II Just and
equitable division Of profits. 1t is consequently
not Invention of geniu., but the shift =gno-
rance.

property growing out Of the Principles we advo,

ganization Of Association.
For an Association Of two thousand persons, a
tract of land three miles square, forming DO
main Of about six thousand acres, will be neceS-
sarv-In the centre will be erected large and
elegant Edihce, composed OF centre, two wings
and two Sub-wngs. The Edhce will he con-
