JOSEPH ADY. The following is the plan of infant education :-A.—But hew are the children to be provided for ? th-13yplacing them in schools expressly prepared to train nz ern fri; an- early age in a very superior manner to the children °f Producer: under the existing wretched, cruel, and unjust system. A."--Who are to educate and take care of them ? th a•---The best qualified persons, elected by ballot from among e association ; or, if requisite, from general society, at the nl ant,ulnencerne Until the children shall be of an age to perform 14 task in very superior manner." ROBERT OWEN, in his days of folly, used to talk in this gannet,and we well recollect a project of his for rockt' feeding, rearing; and educating infants by steam. poor oNyr. we suspect must, at sotne period or other, nave bitten this -Bruinlingem philosopher, for he also prolo4es to do that which his made his greatteacher ridiculous over the whole world. It is pitiable to see paper and b wasted upon such drivel as-this. OWEN'S schemes ave • been tried and have failed. His philosophy makes Warth upon human nature. It outrages 'every sensibility lifeis interwoven with our dearest affections. It makes ligfe Mother an alien to her child, and expels from private We . those littlai and confiding interchanges of sympathy glehlosetheir value amid the glare and bustle of con!tegated. families. •OwEs's principles have, besides, il.irted hundreds of persons, awl in London alone, where labour notes" were tried, some thousands of mecha-les, as well informed as this Solon of the Unions, could beart, witness that the system under which they organized nueulselves was one little 'better than • plunder. Mr. vvwEN's intentions may be good, but his schemes are Calculated only for Bedlam. Chie word more, and we have done. The unionists tell us that they will persevere in their plans even though. they should perish in the attempt. This may evince courage--it certainly indicates a sincere belief in their but in -our opinion it is madness. The unionists might as well passa resolution to commit suicide. Compulsory conditions prescribed by the workmen have 'lever yet "stie'c'eedeiltid neve!. cad succeed. The combinations of the weavers which began thirty years ago Save rise to the steam loom. Combinations among the lace frarrie-wdrk knitters in Leicester and Nottingham drove the trade from those counties. Combinations among the ship-carpenters in Liverpool banished a great Portion.of the trade of ship-building to the Isle of Man, to the colonies, and to the most distant parts of the ernPire• These are all undeniable facts; but the conse,rlaencei to which we have to allude are of still more "dui moment. Combinations among • the. stoneina',°us Will cause the ruin 'of that trade in most parts of - The 'master-masons, we understand, have already begun 'to dispense with stone lintels and sills, 4114 new substitute iron. • Columns, pillars, and pilasters Will in future be- formed of the same material. Window:lnes are also being made of iron. Tiles and slates are h ready beginning to be dispensed with. Plasterers Will ay.e less to do in future, paper upon wood answering quite as well as lime. Painters for the same reason may corn a moiety of their brushes, for painting; in many in es, must give way to paper staining, and ornaments oil be restricted to iron railing& and .Water barrels. 40"ese are the natural effects Of folly and insolence. We ctn°t .sPeak of them as likely to happen ; they have "t/l/ taken place ; and in proportion as the unionists Persist • In their deMands their labour will decline in th„ value', We. have•already, with every dis Position to serve ai7 oPeratives, tendered them our humble advice as their anatieere well-wishers, which advice they have disregarded; lei novv that we are upon the eve of winter they find hbo: Prospects more disheartening than ever—their destroyed--their comfortless--their garners empty—their credit °Yed— their children ragged and hungry.

If a junto of fiends had for e "t of "'darkness and thick night" to devise a plan coo, the ruin of the working classes, they could not have poseueted a scheme better calculated to effect their pur'ph e than this abominable conspiracy of the unions. th4teY not see it, but disinterested' spectators do see, tn du these unions are working a revolution in trade which .st create a ne'w generation of artizans to 'displace the vili its° do* their work in a new way, to eat the bread scorned.,toe' they scorned., to touch, and, in fact, tit reduce the piciaietuutents to pauperism.
