 THE GREAT CRISIS OF SOCIETY OVER THE WORLD FROM VAR TO UNI VERSAL LPEACE-FROM CRIME AND MISERY TO PURE HUMAN MORALE TY, AND CONTINUALLY INCREAS-
BY ROBERT OWEN,

BY ROBERT OWEN,
 Having been asked by an influential states man of long experience, what were the ob- Iects which 1 pnrposed ultimately to obtain by the new constitution which now advo- cate for the State of New Y ork, that have not and cannot be attained by some of the present constitutions of the United States of North America:
 In answer to this very proper and impor- tant question, my reply is, that the new con stution is purposely devised to secure, equal ly and justly to all, the four following re- requirements, which are absolutely lndispen- sable to the permanent prosperity and hap piness of society, and which cannot possi- bly, be attained under any of the existing con sttutions of the world.
 l. Arrangements to create annually con siderable surplus of wealth for all, allowing each freely to use what he may desire. To effect this result, the power of production now possessed by mankind is ample.
 ,. Arrangements, in unison with the pre- ceding, to insure to every citizen, from birth, the formation of as good phy- scal, mental, moral, and practical character as the natural constitution, or peculiar organi- zation of the infant will admit. The science is now known by which to construct a new combination of educational machinery, by which every soundly organized human being may be formed into character superior to any hitherto given to the most favored of the human race.
 3. Arrangements, practically combined with the two preceding, to insure to every person ,,l =. ,1,b, ,,I. m employment or occupation, without the ne- cessity for over or injurious exerlons from any.
 The scientific inventions, discoveries, and improvements already secured 10 society, are more than sufficient, under well-deyised ar rangements, to effect this important object as the very means whereby the superfluty of wealth above mentioned will be easily lyobtained.
 1. Arrangements to supersede gradually, peaceablv, and benelcialy for all, the inferi- or objects, of mans devsing, by all entirely new combination of external objects; or change of all the circumstances with which the human race has been, and is at this day, so fatally surrounded.
 To admit of this change, in connexion with the three previous changes, society requires to be repased reconstructed, reelassiled, re- organized, and the characters of all recreated on principles and practices in accordance with the unchanging laws of humanity The means TOW exist to effect these results most advantageously for the United States and all other countries; but peace IS requisite to accomplish these results.
 But this new constitution, proposed for adoption for the first time by the State ol N. Y ork, cannot be understood, in all the extent of benefits which it will confer on the human race, until THE REASONS FOR EACH LAW shall be given to the public, and care- fully studied without prejudlces ol latitude and longitude.
 It will then be dscoverd that this consti- tuition is not only applicable to the State Of New Y ork, but that it is universal in Its principles, and alike applicable tohumanity in all countries, having been based on the unerring and unchanglng laws o the great creating power of the universe.
 When this subject shall undergo the in vestigation. and consideration which its i'm portance demands, it will be discovered that the proposed constitution has been devised Tn accordance with those laws of God, to secure to humanity it's just rights, and to open an ea- sy, ,straight-forwardr road, to effect, in practice benefcially for all, the GREAT MORAL REVOLUTION FROM WAR, REPULSIVE FEELING, HUMAN DEGRADATION AND MISERY, TO UNIVERSAL PEACE, AT TRACTIVE' 'SY MP ATHlES, ELEVATION OF HUMAN CHARACTER, AND THE HAPPINESS OF OUR RACE.
