FOuIierism for Lawyers.

III 'his age OF reformation, when iron is puddied,
bread baked and all things carried on upon repub-
mean prlnclpes when society is moving smoothly
ana TRANQUILITY on the progressive waves of social
ISM 10 the goal OF equality, see no good reason
why the professions should not sail in the general
current, and adopt some plan by which their menu
bers may also acquire the greatest amount of the
needful, with the least possible effort WHY not
lawyers as well puddlers, ministers as weln as
bakers and doctors well as cobbers, associate
themselves together and, raising the broad banner
Of reform, proclaim TO the outside barbarians the
existence of phalanx! 1t is proposed especially,
that the lawyers of Wall street, exactly 707 in num-
Der, form themselves into an organization, and To-
move In body, TO some convenient site, where
land is cheap-say up near the Croton Reservoir
and there, Under direction of committee of 7O7,
appointed for that purpose, erect a large Office with
all The modern improvements and conveniences for
pulling WOOL feecing. shaving &c, a grand
ana extensive scale. In order To cheaper much
as possible the expenses of the phalanx il is pro-
posed TO have mills for making paper, gas genera
tors, (some excellent specimens could be furnished
by the profession without extra eXpense,) and pen
and ink manufactures connected with the estab-
llshment, together with department devoted ex-
ciusiyely to producing cheap laws, which is
TO be under the management OF three COM
nlissoners, who are appointed committee for
that purpose. This committee is TO be denomnated
the " Lawless Committee" and is 90 be limited to
the production OF ten or twelve codes annually in
order that labor may have long seasons for rcpose
and recreation. Three men will be entrusted with
this important branch, who are eminently qualified
having been engaged some considerable time in the
business, and who, from their great versatility of
talent, and acknowledged genius, can lend the
greatest facilities TO the undertaking.
When operations commence. clients TO be
admitted by tuIns AT the main entrance, and are to
he passed along through the different gradations
and stages, until they find egress in the opposite
directions, perfectly leeced OF what they have and
judgment, suspended over them 10 secure all they
may IN Future possess. "A balcony from which
certain distinguished speakers will haranguc the
" dear people" gratis, six hours each day will
adorn the mont OF the edtce.
We think such IN establishment would call into
requlSiton The various talent of the profession in
Wall street, and AZ the same time tend to equaiizs
and bring everything down to the proper standard
the labor standard.
Nothing more absurd can BE- imagined than th,t
few men, because they happen to possess gre stcr
talent than their fellows, or have been addicted 10
habits Of perseverance, and industry, should receive
all the bread, when in fact they are not half as
well qualified TO dispose of the same their more
greedy cotemporares, who have slept with Coke
and Llttleton, and dreamed over Blackstone aud
Kent
Under such an organization, each member
might perform the part for which he manifested
the best qualifications and thus, by bringing into
continual exercise his peculiar faculties, he would
become master Of his art. And besides these ad
vantages, instead of being cooped up in by
nine Offices, occupying locations from "turret 10
fouHdaon, as al present, those scedy gentlemen
might have grand apartments, appropriately
adorned with siauary and figures Of brass, and
sheep with golden iieeces, AT the Ecntrance; while
at the place Of egrcss, those same harmless ami
mails might be represented in such a state that the
''winds must be tempered that caress them.--
Only think how it might be Only see how it is
and ibis the result of an imperfect organization Of
society. PEOc
