close investigation for the last few months,
have been led to the conclusion, that, no
radical change can take place in society
without placing before the people platform
embracing all mans natural inherent rights
as pertaining to his social, mental, and NOR
al being-coniorming at the same time TO the
highest tone, Of purity of life, that cirisiiani-
" and reason in unison can dictate. Human
society, however, dvided-scaitcred and
peeled, is an unit-no power can make twain
of Gods household aud family, in the true
and absolute sense. True, nations may arise
and national peculiarties may exist-sects
and parties may multiply, until there is no
numbering Of them, yet, in fact, all are brcih-
ren-in nature all are one, iudlyisibly so ::
" One blood, and one Brotherhood" wherever
found, under every conceivable circumstance,
and in defiance Of all combinations.
If this premise be correct, then, whatever
aggresses upon the full and free eyisiance of
oneness-of union in the enjoyment of the
one nature, md co-equal enjoyment of all the

hateful, and to be hated and opposed by
nll until it ceases TO exist. The principle Of
right action, or doing right, conduces TO mans
well being always. No matter by whom the
act may be performed, the time when, o. the
manner how if the act be right in itself, it
will elevate, and happily, lin its degroo) not
only the actor, but all the race ofman. The
principle ofright, or righteousness, or right
doing in an associated sense, also, not only
clevates the particular society, but all the
family of man--it must be so, aud not other
wise. Every thing that is right assimuates
itself to mans nature flows into the great
soul of man, and as a medium of commune
cation, carries through every department of
the system, (of society the only true life,
which grows up into higher, aud nobler be-
ing in proportion as that vital principle is
kept in free circulation by the right doing of
all, or part of the members. The princ-
pie of right doing, or righteousness, is there
fore as much an unit, as that the race are
one and ifpermitted (without obstruction)
10 have free course its vitality would reach
all manknd-its life giving power would
make glad the heart of every son and daugh-
ter of mans desoated race. Right doing,
then, simply resolves itself into one great
life giving principle, which in a true state of
society like every other right hand planting
of our common Father, performs its Office,
and faithfully throughout all the abodes Of
men. Right doing alone can save the world,
and that will, when fully brought into rcqui-
sition restore man 10 himseli-to his race,
md to his God The work may be slow, but
il will be eiiectual in reinstating, and redeem
ing man in all his being; and otherwise there
is no saviour; for in this alone we behold
the mission-the glorious mission of Christ
TO our world to be lnlfed-hs kingdom and
righteousness established, mans saliva
rion perfected. Wrong doing takes place OF
right doing, or in other words binders, or
DESTROYS the influence of right doing, upon
the soul of the wrong doer, aud thus he is
no longer medium of communication, Tor

the force of the good principle is lost unto
(perhaps) thousands, or millions; aud that
great loss to the many, lessons the enjoy
ment of the few, whose minds are found in
tone for elevation. Could evil, or wrong
doing be removed from society, then would
right, or right doing run like electricity from
heart to heart, and from hand to hand, until
the response would be as universal as man,
Wrong doing--a continuous wrong doing
has brought tle race to their present lost
condition-nothing but wrong doing could
destroy man, and wrong doing of every de-
scriLabe character, and name resolves itself
into one great living principle, or medium
of communication, and consequently unless
obstructed by right doing, or righteousness
will, extend its balelhl influence throughout
the whole race, aud even when resisted by
the right it has its grievous effects ON ALL
but especially on those engaged IN tho wrong
doing. Wrong doing is then an un'', as
