meant that cur neighbours vices are our evils
and his sufferings are our sin, and that the
stonement is laid upon all. The most s;on;e.
cant dogmas of our religion he transferred
matatis m'utandis, preserving their essential
import and authority, to the commerce and
conduct of civil life = the, federal head.sbin Of
Adam, the imputation of sin, the eucharist and
the communion of saints - these, in An ener.
getic vitality, rule his entire system of ;ndna
trial organic alton.
In his policy of the organized toonshin. he
has given specimen of analysis, arrangement.
and order, which has scarcely a parallel for log
ical reasoning in all the rounds of science. The
economies, effective forces, adjustments. the
objects to be achieved, and the symmetrical
methodology of his system, for securing and
commanding all the millennial blessings possible
in human life, are sufficient to make any man
with heart in him wish them true and practi.
cable; and if his fancy is rich, and his phian.
thropy fervent, he is in very great danger of be-
ing believer.
The basis of the Associative System is its own
metaphysics. The nature of man, and thence
the harmonic method of its development, is the
guide alike in the minutest details and the most
general principles of the scheme. For instance,
he undertakes to settle the just and natural re.
Enumeration of the productive facultes-Labor,
Talent, and Capital-upon the grounds of the
metaphysical theory of the twelve primary pas
sions of his system, in correspondence to their
respective efficiency in the net productiveness !;
70 Labor fivetwelfths, because there are five
sensitive passions in the human soul; to Tai.
ent, four twelfths, corresponding to the four af.
fective passions; and to Capital three-twelfths,
answering to the three distributive passions.
The solution offered may be erroneous, but it
is an attempt to do logical justice to subject
which demands it, and which nobody else at
tempts to settle upon principle at all. Com
petitive industry and hostile individualism have
no theory of property, and the products of skill,
capital, and toll, combined, which regards nat.
ural right. They leave them to settle their re.
spective claims as battle settles quarrel, or
as the compulsions of struggle, peaceful in
form, but hostile in principle and purpose, set
tie differences according to the respective
forces of the contending elements.
He was not communist, nor leveller He
chose the word association for its safest signifi
canoe and never was analysis more searching
and profound, nor institutions more orderly, de-
fendent, and comprehensive, in any work of hu.
man intellect, than his theoretico. practical
scheme of true order of society exhibits. 1t
provides minimum support for the dependent
classes-industrisl independence for the wife
and child, without impairing the marital or pa.
ternal relations and authority diversity of re-
munerative employment for every variety of
productive and creative faculty, in which the d.
vision of labor that ministers to perfection in
art does not crush out any part of the mans ma
characterization so free and perfect, covering
the arts, sciences, and professions, according to
ability, and furnished with such facilities and
inducements, that the utmost and highest cul-
ture is put within the reach of every man,
woman, and child, in the society--links the indi-
vidusl interests so intimately with that of the
community, that half the vices of our life are
transformed into public virtues--abolishes the
middle men of trade without interfering with
commerce, so that the chief value and source
of commodities cannot be the prey of those who
stanu between tne consumer and prooucer-
converts the military sentiment into pacific
service; its emulation, heroism, and devotion,
now employed in destruction, are reclaimed to
their benefcent use in the patriotic enterprises
of industrial armies-in a word, his Common.

Territory, party lines were not drawn. Local
issues were the only ones considered. Bird

The New York Erening Posts correspondent
says:
"The estimated population of Omaha at the
commencement of this season was eighteen
hundred. Our recent vote indicates double
that now. Building goes on rapidly, and the
general growth and prosperity of the city is as
great as could be desired. Most of the build.
ings are OF superior style, and there are more
good brick stores and houses here than in anv

Territorial Capitol will be finished in Decem.
Der, at a cost of 100000. A Court House at
$4,000, and hotel at S75, 900, give something
of an idea of our progress. We have had near.
ly a hundred and thirty steamboat arrivals here
since the opening of navigation in March, and
tonight six boats are lying at our levee. Near.
y all make the trip from St. Louis to this point
only, aud they carry away from here, at each
trip. from two to eight thousand dollars in
freight money alone.
The Territory about as is filling up as rap

Platte being the great attraction"
1t seems that Mr.. Stanly, of California, at
first refused the nomination by the Republicans
for Governor, when it was offered him verbally,
but they were determined he should stand. A
California correspondent of the Tribune says
"Stanly's nomination is hailed by all outside
of the Democratic party proper with great sat-
isfaction. Night before last, he made a speech
in Musical Hall. A larger audience was never
congregated in San Francisco to hear a man
speak. The house was literally jammed with
men, women, and children while tbouaands
