An industrial association on the principle.

An industrial association on the principles
of Chas. Fourier, is forming among US. The
prospect is very favorable for the purchase
of domain, and its occupancy very soon.
We urge upon our readers, and particularly
those in the country, where opportunity Of.
fers, to examine into this matter. Every
individual certainly has the strongest induce
ments to do SO, in the thousand difficulties
which in the present order of things, beset
his path, which this system promises to a
great extent to do away with. We hope no
one will be deferred from investigation, by
the tate of many associations which have
hourshed and passed away--disappo.nting
the expectations of those engaged in them
This is formed on vastly different principles
principles in accordance with the new
light which within few years has been
thrown upon the constitution of man. The
system is believed TO be in accordance with
nature, and although perfection is not antic-
pated IN the commencement, yet cmbarking
IN the true path, it must 60 on increasing
in strength, until the purpose of human des-
tiny is attained--by man attaining his posi-
ton in perfect harmony with the rest of the
works of the creator of all things.

A duel recently came off at Washington,
between two young men, one Of whom was
shot dead Much noise is made by the pub
lie press, as usual, on this occasion. In this
we discover much inconsistency. Many of
these papers, are filled with blood and thun-
der, against other governments which they
suppose are infringing upon some real or
imaginary rights of ours, and to settle the
question they would not hesitate moment,
to 60 to blowing ont brains on most ex-
tensive scale. What consnmmate folly, and
particularly so, as after the sacrifice of life,
arbitration is always resortcd to, TO settle
the difficulty. As long as dueiling is prac-
ticed by the nation-and as long as major
ity of the people are ready to advocate it, on
every occasion--we should not cry out so
loud against what is nothing more than an
individual application of the principle.
