&c. Probably not one in ten Of its members had
ever heard of Fourier and certainly their COnsttu-

@ They have not given up associated effort and
concluded TO live together as ether bodies OF men.
They have recently altered their Constitution 80 as

individual benefit yet, while their Constitution is
not and has not been based on Fouriers system, 1t

Is near Boston and the Harbinger IS still publish
ed from its press But having been started without
capital, experience or industrial capacity, without
reference to or knowledge of Fourers or any other
systematic plan Of Association, on most uniavora-
bic locality, bought at high price and constantly
under mortgage this Association is about to dis
solve, when the paper will be removed to this City
with the master spirits Of Brook Farm as Editors.
The Observer will have ample opportunity to
iudge how far Experience has modified their con
victions or impaired their energies
4. While the Observer thus rejoices er the
alleged downfall Of two Social experiments under
taken in complete indifference to and ignorance Of
Fourier and his system, as demonstrating the
folly Of their founders and defenders 1t studiousy

5. Asto 1.-The Principles Of Fourierism," we renew
our offer to set forth those principles distinctly and
fully in half the body Of a tract Of sixteen pages,
To which the Editor Of The Observer shall write
the concluding eight pages and we will pay the
cost of stereotypng the whole, provided the Amer
can Tract Society will publish the same among its
regular issues. Our opponent will thus have the
immense advantage of speaking last and charging
upon US whatever OF evil his fruitful Imagination
can suggest We will consent that our side shall
be submitted beforehand to three Doctors OF Divinity
10 be appointed by the Tract Society, who shall
have liberty to strike from it any sentence which
majority of them shall declare their consciences
contrary to Christian Faith or perilous to Good
Morals they having like censorship the reply

this Is it fair If the principles of Fourier

such anopportunity for exposing and committing them!
