sign Is To interest all and benefit each, aud no
ylan can be presented which unItes more pros
pcct of success and Lepsfi:, with less chance OF
loss, than the one proposed Ii IS has ID, as all
successful movements must be, upon the enter
prize, industry aud prudential character Of those
who join IN the undertaking. Each man must
be the architect of his own fortune, labOrng for
himself and reaping the rewards of his own
industry. There IS no community of interest
aiterhe division ofthe lots takes place. there's no
handling of the funds Ol profits by select few,
or others specially appointed, after that Tune, but
each man will pursue his own interests and his
own happiness, as his best judgment shall die
y The benefits proposed 10 the emigrant are t,
