no foundation in truth Mr. Claiming was very happy
in the expression Of his views upon this point he
showed how fraternity, love another ss have

Revolution had seen the idea which Democracy By

lis results in a system Of pure fraternity Mr. Chan

kind continued in the ps,h they have uodden Tor
eighteen centuries and that il was rerely the farther
development, and fruiton Of Christianity.
He expouudei the particular theories oil - simon
and Fourier rather as illus,rst ons o. bis plan than

true system OF fraternity has been correctly system
