sary Meetng-Ahiliated societies.

1t is proposed TO open the Convention Of the
AMERICAN UNION, in New. York, at 10 clock. on
Tuesday OF the Anniversary week. This Conven-
ton which is intended strictly for business and
consultation will be continued for at least three days
and it is earnestly hoped that Delegates will come pre-
pared for long sessions and for exclusive attention TO
the important questions that viii be presented TO the
meeting tits expected that the evenings during the
session OF the Convention there will be public meetings
of popular character adapted 20 interest wider cir
Gle than the actual members Of the Convention The
principal lecturers and speakers In the Associative move
will undoubtedly be present on this occasion. and
venture predict that the meetings viii be Of sui
cent interest to reward the greatest trouble In attend
ing them.
The members of all Affiliated Unions eAciomem-
bers of the Parent Society and will be entitled 10 seats
in the Convention SUCH whether formally appointed
delegates not by their respective Unions although II
is hoped that in order to full an attendance as
possible every Affiliated Union will choose or more
delegates and if necessary provide for the expenses OF
their attendance We know that Boston will be fully
represented on this occasion but trust every Affiliated
Union in New England will that its delegates
present. and earnestly hope that friends in the
interior of New York Pennsylvania, Ohio Kentucky,
and still farther South, will not fail OF Civ ng the Con
venton the aid of their counsels. Especially will be
grateful meet the friends who are actually engaged IN
the practical experiment OF Association IN dlnerent parts
of the country and believe they will not ind II time
lost participate in the deliberations OF the Convention
Among the subjects that will be- presented 10 the aien
ton of the Union will doubt be the establishment of
a Central Oice-the support of an organized system of
pubcaton-the maintenance OF Associative lectures
throughout the Countrywide means OF communication
with Affiliated Societies and with Associstionists both
at home and sbrosd-he increase and security of the
Weekly Rent-and the methods of practical orgsniza-
ton at a future day.
The question, presume, will be decided At this
Convention, whether the Associative School in this
country 10 rest satisfied with the desutory isolated
and ncoherent efforts which hitherto IL has put FORTH or
whether II will adopt measures for an efficient system OF
untary operations which shall II wide and
rapid progress and give 1t that STRENGTH which ia the
necessary result OF VITAL UNION and NATURAL ORGAN
IZATION.
We can hardly overestimste the importance Of this
Convention 20 the Associative Cause and hence, As we
believe TO the OF Humanity. As disciples of the
doctrines of Social Unity which though grossly mise
presented and profoundly misunderstood every day
attracting more and OF the public attention, and
winning new advocates among the most enlightened and
sincere friends of reform and progress have
gent duty perform and everlasting shame will rect
upon us II be neglected Let not this opportunity pass
away without fruitful results Let all good and true
men who believe in better future for Humanity, TO be
Introduced by the Combined Order who have faith in
the nature of created by the Deity and in divine
social creed adapted 10 that nature, bring their best
wisdom and energy TO the deliberations OF this OCCASION
