Fror, The Caa,nn lohiOl Repository.
The Ohio Phalan1.

The Repository for November 80, lS43, con-
tanned the. Articles of Association OF the 8 HE
AMERICAN PHALAsx,' with an imperfect outline
of its plan, and brief sketch OF the Domain 1t
had selected and secured for It's future operations.
The name has since been changed TO The
OHIo PHALANy," which appears at the head Of
this article It's Articles of Association have
also been modified in some particulars, but not in
such manner as to change any OF their essen
tial features.
The Ohio Plalanx is now definitely constituted,
and the first pioneers are already upon the Do
main. More will follow in a few days to assist
in making preliminary preparations. A larger
company viii be added in March, and by the
end OF May the Phalan1 is expected to consist
OF l2O resident members, of whom the greater
part will be adult males. They will be received
from time to time as rapidly as temporary ac-
commodations can be provided. The prospects
OF the Phalanx are cheering beyond the most
sangulne anticipations OF its friends.
1t IS deemed expedient from this time 10 e1-
cuse the local agents who have been appointed IN
various places to receive applications for stock
and membership, from the performance Of any
further duties. Applications must hereafter be
made Of by mail, post paid either to The Ohio
Phalanx," address, Bell Air, Belmont Co.
Ohio or to the subscriber at Canton. The agents
who have heretofore acted will, therefore, as
soon as convenient after the receipt of this notice,
report such applications may then have been
made, and request subsequent inQuirers TO apply
as above directed.
Applications for membership should state the
following particulars: l. The age and occupa-
ton of the applicant. 2. If he have family,
the age and sex of each. 8. The amount OF
money he will invest on admission in the stock OF
the Phalanx. 4. The further amount, II any,
which he will subsequently invest, and at what
time. 5. If he proposes to invest property of any
kind, he should describe it as particularly as
possible; and if it appears to be such as the
Phalany requires, it will be received at such price
as it would cost the Phalanx if purchased witt
cash, an equitable deduction being made If 1t b'
deprecated by use or otherwise. D. The appll
cation should also contain references which vii
enable the officers Of the PhalanX to satisfy them
selves as to the character of the applicant.
Unless under very special circumstances, each
single man is required to invest at least SlOO
and each man with family at least $500, II
cash, in the stock Of the Phalanx, at the time Of
his admission An admission fee is also required
as fellows: For each adult male So for each
adult female So for other members Of family
each 81; which sums are appropriated IN part to
pay the expenses which have been and may be
incurred in organizing the Association, and the
residue to procure books, magazines, &c. for the
use of the members. A compliance with these
conditions does not, however, entttle person to
admission, but the officers of the Phalanx select
from the applicants such as appear to them most
eligible. Other things being equal, those will be
selected who contribute most to the resources OF
the Association. One object is, to admit none
who are not Jealous friends of the cause, and
would not be willing, if necessary, to make some
sacrifices for its success.
We would not be understood to invite the IN
quisitve to ask US questions concerning the doc
trines of Association. These are found IN the
works of Fourier and his disciples, and have
been extensively propagated in this country by
several persons, and especially by Mr.. a. Brls-
banc. Applicants are expected to have their
minds made up and to be ready to cooperate at
once in the experiment of a Social Reorganiza-
ton. E. L. GRANT.
