sign Is TO interest all and benefit each, and no
plan can be presented which unies more pros
Pect of success and Lepef:, with less chance of
loss, than the one proposed. IL l. based, all
successful movements must be, upon the enter
pnZe, industry ana prudential character % those
who join IN the undertaking. Each man must
be the architect of his own fortune, laboTiug for
hlinselt, and TeaplnS the rewards OF his own
industry. There IS no community of interest
after he division Of the lots takes place; there is
hand ling of the funds % profits by select few,
or others specially APT OIntCd, after that me but
each man viii pursue his own interests and his
own happiness, as his best judgment shall die
tate.
The benefits proposed to the emisrant are TO
be found IN the rapidly increased value of The
property purchased and the improved cOnIfoT
Of life by the instant combination Of 50 many
families upon ore advantageous point Of lOca ton.
