cepted final repor: from their second exploring
committee, and sanctioned the purchase OF the
tract of land for their Domain which has been
unanimously chosen and recommended by TWO
successive committees, after extensive exPioFa-
TONS This tract consists OF about twenty-five
hundred acres OF rolling land, situated on Inc
west bank of the Delaware river, at the mouth OF
the Lackawaxen creek, In the township OF Lacka-
waxen, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Inc SOL IS
deep loam: the land rises III moderate ndges,
not precipitous with wide tabe-lands on the top,
and valleys between. About one hundred acres
are now under cultivation the remainder Is
wooded. but moi so as TO present any formidable
obstacle to clearing, the heavy timber having
been cut off of a great part OF it. A thousand
acres can be cleared and fenced at a cost OF less
than $40 per acre, leaving the heavily tirnbered
lands to be cleared more slowly as the timber Is
wanted
For this tract OF :, 500 acres abundantly watered
with good mill stream running through II, beside
the Lackawaxen ard Delaware on It's borders, win
the Delaware and Hudson Canal running by II ana
the New-York and Erie Railroad certain % pass

stock SO that the cash required Is less than 2ooo.
There is Of course abundant and convenient water
power for all Manufacturing purposes while the
! Cana. furnishes "a medium of cheap transportation
to and from this City, Albany, the Pennsylvania
Coal regior. &c. &C. The advantages of the 10
cation are already great, while the Erie Railroad
will probably soon bring it within few hours Of
Nc,v-Yorf, at all seasons.
The Association is now actively engaged IN
business operations, and Will send oil an advance
division of fifty members (malnly adult males IN
the course of the ensuing week. As many more
will follow in the course of the month, including
members from Albany and other places. by
these, grounds will be cleared, farming actively
prosecuted, and temporary buildings constructed
through the Summer, preparatory to the sending
out of Bomc three or four hundred additional mem
bers in the Fall, when mechanical and manulac-
turing operations will be first regularl undertaken
We have spoken thus fully of the present atu
tudc and prospects Of this enterprise, because O.
our ardent hope that through It's progress the prac
ticabillty and immense advantages of a more sys
tcmatic, coafding and genial relationship between
Labor and Capital will be demonstrated, and th'
Physical, Intellectual, Social and Moral condi
ton Of all classes but especially OF the lmpover
ishod and hope,essly toiling Millions, be thereby
immensely improved. If it be not vet demon
strated to the satisfaction OF the many that ht
man capacities and energies may be sclcn'ihcait
combined and rendered potent for other Purposes
than those of carnage and devastation, 1t Is hlgl
time the truth were placed beyond cavll, as We
trust It will be by the Sylvanlans.
