or a new and superior formation Of the national
character from birth.
fSut both nations Mr.. Owen says, are as yet, nm
| informed as 10 the right mode in practice by which
TO secure the abundant wealth and the superior
character for all Before this invaluable know
ledge can be acquired for sure, extensive and
permanent, practical results, they have to acquire
knowledge of science the importance of
winch, for every day practice, in the whole bust
ness of lite, has been hitherto most impcrfecty
understood, even by the most advanced practical
men and statesmen in both nations. All have
failed, according to MIR. Owen, because hey have
hitherto based their proceedings on the laws of
men in direct opposition to the unchanging laws
of God and Nature. 1t is at once obvious that a
superfuity of wealth, and a superior character
for the human race, can be obtained only through
new combination Of circumstances, purpesey
devised to effect these results, in accordance With
the now ascertaned laws Of God Mr.. Owen pro-
ceeds to say that these new circumstances can be
discovered and created Through a knowledge only
of the science Of the influence of circumstances
over human nature that the statesmen and men OF
business in both countries have now but to acquire
an accurate knowledge of this new science, to
enable Them to adopt measures to create more
wealth than will be desired for use by their respec-
tive populations, and to ensure from birth good
useful and superior character for one and all, and
gradually to introduce those advantages through
Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and islands in the
Pacific Ocean ; and thus establish over the earth,
equal rights and just practical equality accord
ing TO age.
Mr. Owen adds, that the New York State Con-
vention, which he left sitting when he took his
passage to England, in the steam ship from Bos-
ton, the first July last, offered fine opportunity
gradually to introduce this change of system most
advantageousy into the United States
During his voyage from England to New York,
he has written several short articles for publication
in the newspapers, TO explain to the public vari-
Gus parts Of the system which he says is about to
supersede the present old and thoroughly worn
out system, which is no longer fit for the govern
ment of society in its advanced state. During
these travels, Mr. Owen has opened the subject,
with favorable results, to some of the leading
statesmen in England, and with view to intro
dnce it to the governments of the civilized world
and to the public generally, he wrote petitions, ad
dressed to the British Parliament; and just before
he left England-the one to the House Of Peers
was presented, with long, favorable preparato-
ry speech, by Lord Brougham; and the other 10
the House of Commons, was to be Immediately
presented by Viscount Palmerston, Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs.
Mr.. Owen further states, that, to effect this
change beneficially for all people and nations,
they will have to abandon the principles, and the
practices emanating therefrom, of the laws of
men, and to adopt the principles, with their con-
sis'ent practice, of the laws of God and that,
with the rational aid of the press on both sides
the Atlantic, the change throughout the United
States and Great Britain may be rapidly accom-
plished, and thus secure the permanent progress
sive prosperity and happiness Of the population OF
both nations, and gradually of the world.
