Alter which Constitution considered and

following
The Board of Managers, in presenting this Ad-
drcss will but briefly notice few oi the motives
10, aud benefits to be derived from an associated
system OF combined labor, and Their view OF lis mo-
rel, social, and political tendencies.
4, has been supposed that ior some years the gen.
eral sentiment OF mankind has been slowly tending
towards the encouragement of a state OF peace
among the nations OF the earth, and consequently,
we suppose men would view with some interest, and
examine with attention any plan that is likely, or
that proposes 10 remove or lessen the causes andn
30 far the corrupting evils and revolving horrors Ot
war.-Put till lately they seem not TO have looked
peace must be cherished and first take root among
individuals, and small societies, and then we may
hope il will in time become national.
On this subject, nothing has come within our
view, and we believe nothing has been SAID or at
tempted so likely to promote and spread the prin-
ciples of peace and harmony as the formation and
encouragement Of FOURIER ASSOCIATIONS: tor
both their theory and practice strike al the root oi
warfare and OF odr, aud III proportion as they pre-
vail " wars and tighngs will cease"
Whoever will glance at the present social sys-
tenn. and the general and long established mode of
conducting BUSINESS which has little 10 recon-
mend IL but It's antiquty-the warfare between
capaI and labor, in which the former always sue
ceeds-a system which has sprung IRON, or IN the
first advances OF civilization been grated oa the
ancient war system OF master ana sisve, VIII III
once perceive, that as general thing, all the adirs
of the world, and the interests and Intercourse
among men ia lutte else than u perpetual warfare
aud scramble for property, by any means that the
laws cannot. or will not prevent; and what the la"
or custom allows, or leaves unpunlshed, we are ieo
10 treat and think as right and honest.
But the Fourier System proposes better rule OF
Justice aud higher standard OF morals DO us
vow would be done by--owe no man-covet no
mans properly" And TO enable men not merely
20 tcish, but tryto be honest, and to pur these
inunciions into practice, this system secures TO
them constant labor with all needtu or desirable re-
laxn.ion and the fullest Just and possible reward
for it, and the ready supply - all their wants on the
faircst and lowest poSS;ole terms, gives all thelr
children alike n good education, and trains them 10
industrious and steady habits, and leaves nothing
10 dstarb the peace OF man, but his native corrup-
ton, aud the influence oi his former bad habits,
which a defective education, and the conflicting
interests Of false ana untrieGuly statc ot soCNy
may have engcndercd. 80
We cannot enlarge on this subject, but will SIM
ply remark that II the elements ot peace and gene
raj prosperity are ever To be found IN any human
organization, they may be expected IN tins. we
reiolce TO see the increasing favor with which this
plan ~ viewed and 10 notice in Pittsburgh paper
that Mr., Bighan. from that connty, has introduced
into the Legislature bill 10 incorporate an Asso-
cation on Fourier's plan, TO be called the Penn
sylpu,,ia Phaianr," and that some OF the most re-
and tutiu have flpn
their Willingness to embark the enterprise. The
same paper states IN relation 10 the Ohio PhS-
lanx," that II has been reorganlzed and now
firmly established, without II doubt ol success; aud
the me embcrs regard failure rs out o the question
But our more particular purpose is TO invite the
people Of this county TO thank upon the subject
