We have raceived letter from HUGE DoHERTY,
ESQ, Editor of the London Phglanx. in which he
inferuls us that the Association, formed by AR
THUR You've, Esq, at Citeaux, in France, is go


ing very well. Mr.. y oung, who is so nobly
devoted TO the cause of Association, invested, we
believe, abo1r $4,000 cash capital in it. He
reserved for himself at least per cent. interest
aad certain premium out OF the profits of the
Association, after the laboripg classes end the ex-
penses were paid. Mr.. Young has received the
first year, notwithstanding the difficulties of
commencement, 81 per cent. interest on his
capital. Each Leboring family has received
clear dividend of forty dollars besides their living,
which has averaged for tdults, one hundred dol

for children, fifty dollars. Wien consider the

if Human Nature be good, Association must
spread and become universal, snd nothing can pre-
vent it, but that if Human Naurc be bad, it cannot
Now, suppose Humanity be not capable of true
social and religious Affection and Unity, it strikes
US that a good system of Society is better Than
bad one Civilized Society is better than the
Barbarian Society; and political improvements,
which are less profound than social changes, are
of decided advantage. 1t is better to have a gov
ernment like ours than one like Russia. Who
will denv that the American Farmer 10 not
more noble and virtuous being than Russian
Serf (which is owing entirely to the system Of
government and society, for the nature OF the Rus
sian is the same as that of the American.


If Association will render Industry attractive
give abundance to all, secure superior Education
and moral and intellectual deyelpemcat to every
child, it wi certainly be better-admitting that
man is depraved-than the present System of So
ciety, with its repusive and degrading system of
Labor, its poverty and privations, and its misara
be methods of Education, which smother and
pervert the faculties more than they deyelope
