Pect of success and Lereh:, With less chance Of
loss, than the one proposed Ii Is bias. ID, az all
successful movements must be, upon the enter
prize industry ang prudential character Of those
| who Join IN the undertaking. Each man must
be the architect of his own fortune laborlng for
himself, and Teapng the rewards OF his own
! industry. There IS no community OF interest
after he division ofIhe lots takes place; there Is
handling of the funds OF profits by select few,
/ or others specially appointed, after that Time, but
each man will pursue his own interests and his
own happiness, as his best Judgment shall die
| t-te.
The benefits proposed to the emigrant are to
