living upon Lick Creek, with springs In abundance

feet. The laad under proper cultivation will pro,
duce one hundred bushels Of corn 10 the acre and
every thing else In proportion. There are hive or SIX

The whole Domain is, in every particular, admira-
Phalanx. The Railroad connecting Springfield with
the Illinois river runs within two miles of the Do
main. There is a steam saw and Touring mil
within few yards OF our present East boundary
which We can secure on fair terms and shall pur-
chase as we will need it immediately
Bot we will not occupy more time with de-
scip,ion, as those who feel sufficiently interested,
will visit us and examine for themselves. We
'0Ns man. and. although we are called lnfdes
by those who know not what constitutes either lnh
deity or Religion, we intend to obey at least this
injunction of Holy WRIT. The Sangamon Asso
CATION had been progressing slow " prudently and
cautiously determined not 10 involve themselves In
pecuniary difficulties, and this was one great In
ducement 10 our union with them. We want those
whose bump Of caution is fully developed. Our
Knowledge OF the progressive movement OF other
Associations has taught us lesson which we will
~ NOT to forget We convinced that we can
pever succeed with onerous debt upon We
trust those who attempt 1t may be more successful
than We could hope to be-
We are also convinced that we cannot advance
one step towards associative unity whilst in a state
o. anarchy and confusion, and that such state OF
things must be avoided We will therefore no,
attempt even a unitary subsistence, until we have
the number necessary to enable us to organize upon
scientific principles, and in accordance with Four
ers admirable plan of industrial organization.
We find that il will create confusion or IN any way
impede. our progress. The PhaanX Will have
store house, from which all the families can be sup
Piled al the wholesale price, and have II charged
10 their account Ii is better that the different tam
lies should remain separate for hve years, than 10
bring them together under circumstances worse
than Civilization Such a course will unavoldaoy
create confusion and dissatisfaction and we venture
The assertion that 1t has done in every instance
where it has been attempted. Under our Rules OF
Progress, 1t will DE seen that, until we are prepared
TO organize, We go upon the system OF Hired La
oor,-we pay TO each individual full compensation
tor all assistance rendered in labor other services
snd charge him o fair price for what he receives
from the Phaanx-the balance of earnings after
deducting the amount of what he receives TO be
credited 10 him as Stock, 10 draw interest Capt.
ta- 10 Capital whether il be money or property
put III at a fair price, we allow ten per cent COM
pound interest. This plan will be pursued until
our Edlice is finished and we have about 400 per
sons ready 10 form a temporary organization.
Fourier teaches that this number is necessary,
ana he has taught the truth of the science IL Is
worse than folly TO pursue contrary 10 his
Instructions. If there is any one who understands
the science better than Fourier did himself we hope
be will make the necessary corrections and send us
word We intend TO follow Fourier instructions
Until we find they are wrong then will abandon
theIn. AS TO an attempt 10 organize Groups and
series until we have the requisite number-have
gone through proper system OF training and
erected edifce sufficient for the accommodation
o. about 400 persons every feature OF our Rules o.
place every Phalanx that attempts il in situation
