on, Of thousands in this Great Valley.
! Tbonph but little acquainted with the princi-
.,es Of Association, have been an observer Of
h. m,rements of its friends, and have read with
considerable interest the accounts Of the several
Io,ranizations, as they have from time to time
| ,nnearcd in your columns. In the Tribune Of
NV. 4th, is an account Of the North American
obplanx, in which it is stated that that Associa-
on has purchased 673 acres Of land in New
ersey, at the every low price" Of |5l4,OG0-
oore than $50 per acre. Twenty Dollars an
{ acre NAV be low for land in New Jersey; but it
seems to me to be bad policy to pay so much mo-
ney for land, when that of better quality can
Ibe obtained in almost any section OF the Great
iWes, for from ST. % (the Government price, to
s3 pcr acre. The slm of $4,000 would pur-
,basa as much land here--stock It with 2GOO or
1000 sheep or swine-rear the necessary build
nos to /" besn with''-and place the whole un-
fr biph state of cultivation. After that is
0pe, we have the markets Of ST. Louis, New
Orleans and, indeed, the whole sca-board, open
70 our productions by means Of the Mississippi
River. Pine lumber for building, &c, can be
obtained at our wharves, for from $40 to $5l5
Der NJ. feet, from the Pine Regions of the st.
CIoix Wisconsin, and other tributaries of the
Misgssippi-and it will doubtless be cheaper In a
ear Or two.
As TO lands-large bodies Of land IN Northern
md Western Illinois, Iowa, or Northern Mlssou-
H. can be purchased at Government prices; and
inthe Military Tract in this State, Extending
from the mouth and west of tie illinois River
as far north as Rock Island,) much Of the Unoc-
cupied land is owned by Companies. These
Companies would, no doubt, be glad to sell at a
small advance on Government prico-and give
almost any desired time TO make payment. /
have no doubt 1900 to 10000 acres Of as good
and as any man could desire, might be obtained
IN this way, for twice the number Of dollars
PAYABLE in lnstamcnts Of five, ten, or fifteen
rearS.
On the Des MONIES or Rock River Rapids Of
The Mississippi, would be a very desirable loca-
ton for community which designs engaging in
the business Of manufacturing. Either OF them
affords water power sufficient for twenty Low
els Or RochesteTs, and ii could be appropriated
without a very heavy expense, and without OBJ
,tructing the navigation Should Agriculture
lone form the principal business of an Assocla-
ION, the location should be near the Mississippi,
'r some other navigablo stream.
have thrown out these few hints, IN the hope
that they may be Of service to those who are
seeking locations for new industrial Associations.

would address a few words to that class Of

seems desirable that numbers Of those who arc
now looking TO that branch of Industry for a
support, should leave it for some less precarlous
and more profitable employment. But the great

Remarks on the a5oue
The advantages of Association, as an economic
arrangement, are great and manifold, and as clear
y lattainabc in the prosecution Of Agriculture or
General Industry as in that Of Banking, of Whal-
Ing of Navigation, or Of Manufacturing, to each
OF which in a very imperfect and partial shapc)
Il mas been applied with success for many years.
We do not doubt, therefore, that twoor three hun
dsed families, who are emigrating TO the West,
may by wisely combining, procure Their trans
po'tadon, lands, buildings, teams, implements,
&c. for one.third what the same would cost them
10 provide themselves as wellscparateIyy and that
