PROGRESS OF THE DOCTRINE OF ASSOCIATION.
The Doctrine of Association is spreading
throughout the country with a rapdty, which we
did not anticipate, and Of which we had but little
hope. We receive papers from nearly all parts OF
the Northern and Western States, and some from
the South, containing articles upon Association,
in which general views and outlines of the Sys-
tem are given. They speak Of the subject as one
(which is calling public attention. or, 8 about
which so much is now said or, (Which IS a
good deal spoken of in this part of the country
&c. showing that our Principles arc becoming a
topic of public discussion From the rapid pro-
gress of our Doctrines during the past year, we
look forward with hope to their rapid continued
dissemination. We feel perfectly confident that
never, in the history of the world has i phlo-
sophcal doctrine. or the plan OF great reform,
spread with the rapidity which the Doctrine OF
Association has spread in the United States tor

number OF papers, and quite number OF lecturers
in various parts Of the country, who are lending
their efforts to the cause, so that the onward
movement must be greatly accelerated.
Small Associations are spnngng up rapidly IN
various parts of the country. The Sylvania As
ISOLATION in Pike County, Pa, is now N opera

erecting buildings, Sc and preparing for the re-

county. Our friend, 4. NJ. WATSON, is at the
head of 1t: he has been engaged for the last three
years in spreading the principles in that part of
the State and the result is the formation OF an
Association. Several farmers have put III their
farms and taken stock by tins means the Do
main has been obtained. About three hundred
persons we are informed, are on the lands They
have a very fine quarry on their Domain, and they
intend, among the branches OF Industry WHICH
they will pursue, to take contracts for erecting
! buildings out Of the Association. They arc now
erecting a banking house in Watcrtown, near
which the Association is located
Efforts are making IN various parts OF this State.
in Vermont, in Pennsylvania, Indiana and illinois,
to establish Associations, which viii probably be
successful in the course Of the present year. We

others OF which we are not informed.
We see BY the WEsrEny CITIZEN, of April 9th,
Chicago Illinois, that an Association has been
established and is in operation at Lamoille. b.
