Some Renders of the Crescent seem to be at a los
to understand the Aim of the Essays written undel
the above Head. To these, it may suffice to say
that they labor to produce opposite. Effects on the
Minds of theirReaders from those that are produced
by the Maxims contained in our
POLITICAL SYSTEM:
which may be stated in the Motto of one of its
most faithful Guardians, Gen. Harrison: " The
People of the United States May they always re.
member, that to preserve their Liberties, they must
do their own Voting and their own Fighting''
Next, they aim to produce Effects in the Mind Of
the Reader conformable to those which are con-
tanned or produced by Maxims of the
~ SOCIAL SYSTEM.
These Maxims may be stated, in general View,
under the following Motto 'Al Men that wish to
avoid the Horrors of National Warfare, and the
painful Fermentation of Social Conflict, and to
enjoy the Blessings of Social Order, must take Part
in the Performance of its Duties, and be satisfied
with their Share produced in and by the Organi-
cation of Labor
Having thus given Bird Eye View against and
for the Subject under Consideration, wish to be
permitted to make few Remarks on the Contents
Of both Systems: \
Firstly, then-It is not true, that Americans do
their own Voting if they did, no President would
ever be elected, for almost every one would vote
for Himself; but knowing this to be Folly, thew
vote for a Candidate selected by their respective
Parties.
:, Seeondly-Americans, as little as any other
People, are allowed to do their own Fighting, but
that Of Uncle Sam. 1t is true, that Hyer and Sui-
van did, but we know they were peppered for it by
the Sheriffs Of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Hence,
System based on such Maxims cannot be truer
than these; and how true these are, we know.
That the Maxlms OF the Social System are truer in
Theory, and better in Practice, must appear from
the few Specimens which have been given in former
Numbers. The only Difficulty lies in the Fact that
those who labOred for its Introduction have not
CEASED to be Politicians, and therefore in the
same Predicament as those who wish to serve God
same Means are used, the same Passions excited
and the same Fooleries resorted to- which grace or
disgrace our political Campaigns, and color or stain
our political Meetings.
1t is, however, a happy Omen to perceive that
the true Social Spirit has found Entrance through
another Channel, and that Humanity is guided to.

modern Philosophers never dreamed.

Matter. He who turns it into Play, robs it Of its
