If tn. Huulan Pace were in the commencement
OF their Social CaIeerin the :irs, ages Of Civil
zation, they would be excusable FOR fouadiag some
hope Of social good lpon political Science,-uP
the Legislation of Man: bst long experience has
proved tie inPoercy OF human Legislation, aud
sb0wn clearly that the world has nothing 10 hope
from human Laws aad political Constitutions.
V hat are tie results OF the most celebrated Con
s,i;u;ioas--that o. England, for example 50 long
held up as a rnodel-whose CAPITAL contains TWO
hundred and thirty thousand beggars thieves, pick
pockets and vagran;s2 With an immcnse annual
Poor Tax, The country is overrun with La5orers
cut of employment, Lalf-starving and emgrating
by thousands.
If this be the condition Of the Country which
lcyies commercial tribute on every gion Of the
Globe what must be the condition Of those re-
eions which are exhausted to enrich England,
where so much misery reignsl With what dis
trust should the aspect OF these results inspire US
for orr political sciences and institutions How
strongly should they excite to search for the
Divine Social Code, 70 search for an outlet from
the disasters OF our civilized Societies.
Ard when we reflect that human Reason, which
might have failed in this study, as it has in so
many others has commenced no investigation, pro-
posed no examination of this important problem.
there can be no hesitation in excupatng God of
II = 81, Il. ,,f
made The Passions without inherent capabiity
of Order and Harmony, and in condemning human
Reason, which, for thirty centuries past, since the
first dawno Science has most shanlefuy neglected
its task Of research and investigation The Human
Race are deprived by this neglect of the Divine So
cial Code, and are left to suffer under the direction
ofcivilizcd Leg slators, who only know how to pro-
ducc and maintain all the evils and scourges of our
false Societies.
Let US double and treble our proofs to establish
the great truth before which human Legislation
stands condemned to wit: That THERE MUST Ex-
lsT Social SYSTEM OR CODE, COMPOSED BY GoD
AND INTERPRETED BY ATTRACTION. Our men o!
science having made no study of Passional At
traction, are culpabe of q most shameful neglect,
Attraction, which should have induced a con-
ti.uation of that study, and led to its extension
from the Material to the Passaonal or Moral
World
The Age, plunged in Political and Legislative
illusions, deserves the strongest reproach for its
opposition to Nature. and the guide which the
Creator has placed within Its preiudices
against Attraction and the Passions, liks those
old walls of Roman cement, upon which the iron
bar Of tie workman makes no impression; such Is |
the strength Of our against the guide
which God has given us,-Attraction. We must,
consequently, first clear away the whole mass OF
present political and scientific prejudices, before
laying the foundation of the new doctrine.
The more we examine the perfect'accordance OF
Attraction with the Attributes of The Divinity and
the desires of Man. the more firmly we shall be con-
WINGED that our scientific Lodies iii neg ecting all
study Of Attraction, have rendered themselves cui-
pable OF most gross. oversight.
To what numberless researches, which Tor the
most par, arc useless, does curiosity the de-
sire Of gain lead? What Iaborious researches on
insolvable problems, like those of Alchemy! What
searches in countries which appear
20 contain mines. What voyages To discover some
miserable desert island, some inscription OF no
value What fruitess etiolts to explore the IN
terio, of Africa What OUTLAWS To discover a
northern passage which, with the present state OF
the Eurths temperature, would be impracticable
and useless
Nevertheless, however great the difficulties 10
be overcome, nothing discourage scientific Gu
riosity Oh points which if attained offer unlmpor-
tant results: whereas the most magnificent OF
discovery of the theory OF At
traction and the Law of Destinies-ha>, during
thirty centuries of scientific investigation called
-, g.,
of any
Numel Gus indications exist, which should have
led genius to a study of Passional Attraction. We
will examine four OF those indications, which are
10 be found in four Of the guarantees that Attraction
offers TO God and Man.
|. Permanent Social guide aud Recitation
inasmuch as Attraction impels US continually by
IMPULSES which are as fixed and unvarying at all
times and in all places, the ghts OF reason are
Auc,uating and deceptive. The constant ten
dency of Attraction or the Passions, when rightly
DEVELOPED. TO true Social Older is Divine In
depreciation or Revelation of that Order, inasmuch
as Attraction comes from God
The experience of all centuries proves that AT
traction is immutable that 1t WILL IN twehty
thousand years, be as unvarylng as 1t has been
since the creation of the world; 1t Will always
tend the system of Society predestlned Tor Man,
and for which the Passions were created. From
this immuability of Attraction, it becomes evident
that any science relative its action and effects,
would be positive science, and that any Seclh
system based upon it, would be a code dictated by
God and interpreted by permanent Revelation;
for Attraction is never silent or uncertain. How
Important is the research OF this code, which, once
discovered would become true and unvaIyiug
guide in politics, and replace our irreconcilable
theories and systems.
If Attraction we're not intended as guide for
us, 10 what purpose could the Creator have des-
