this country, but IN France England aud Ger

How could 1t be otherwise? How could a

sacred and Just character in man, such as the
religious sentiment, the right Of property, &c.-

SYSTEM we ask, iall of securing the sympathles
OF candid and sincere minds: of minds which
love justice, and feel strong interest in the well

are compared with those of the present system Of
Society, in which waste and poverty, and repug-

individual liberty and independence are circunl-

But to return to our subject-the progress Of
our Principles.
The PARIS PHALANx, which has heretofore been
published three times week, will hereafter be
published daily, and will take its stand among
the leading political papers of France. Over
1000 francs were voluntarily subscribed in the
course of few weeks by the friends of Associa-
ton in France to enable the Phalanx to become
daily paper. twill urge increasingly upon the
attention of the different political parties and
upon Government the necessity of examining So
cal questions, of undertaking quiet and peace
able social reform, and reorganization Of Indus
try. 1t viii in time force this new policy, so true
and so much required, upon the attention Of the
country.
Mr. MAUGUIN, a very distinguished member of
the Chamber of Deputies belonging to the liberal
party, has, VIC sec by the Phalanx. declared him.
self openly in speech IN favor ofa REoRGANIzA-
TIoN OF lNDUsTRY-by which in France is under
stood vast reform in the whole foundation of
society-and in favor of study of social cues
tons. In his speech he said: Political questions
which, to my eyes, were the first, have now be-
come entirely secondary; in my opinion the capl
tai questions are no longer those relating to the
forms of our Government; there are deeper,
graver questions, which are Social questions. l
pledge my support to any Minister who will de-
vote his attention actively to these questions;
and he pointed out as the means of the improve
ment and elevation of the people an Industr1al
Reform and Org~aieatioa Of Labor.
Lamartine has taken nearly the same stand /:
we foresec that the leading Politicians Of France
will be the first to comprehend that the eUis mhich
aflict Society are Social, not Political, in their
nuture, und that q Social Reform only can eradi-
cate them and the first to discuss the grand ques-
ton Of Social Reform.
AS regards the progress Of the Cause in this
Country, it is exceeding our most sanguine ex-
pectations we are in the receipt of letters which
show us that it is spreading gradually through all
parts Of the States of New York, Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, and some Of the New-England
States.

The Philadelphia Ledger, which has an I'M

commence publishing shortly series OF articles,
cyplicative of the doctrine of Association. This
will bring the subject before the Philadelphia
public.
