beware then of " breaking the Pattern.'" The other elements, 

 industry, the arts, . religion, and philosophy, are striving to 

 attain a state of complete separation and independent devel- 

 opement. 



The re-action, by which the new world communicates its 

 impulses to the old, is of a moral, not a physical nature. 

 Physical force has almost performed its full errand upon earth. 

 The commercial relations that have already arisen, and are 

 yet to arise, upon the entire separation of industry from the 

 other elements, consequent upon the rejection of all restric- 

 tive systems ; the ties that result, necessarily, from a common 

 intercourse; the friendly relations growing out of a constant 

 exchange of commodities ; the firm conviction that the con- 

 tinuance of that exchange between each, is essential to the 

 comfort, convenience and happiness of all, will effectually 

 prevent every interruption from belligerent causes. 



The time is yet to come, when Europe and America, ori- 

 ginally marked out as the great spheres of this world's ac- 

 tion, are to bow to the influence of a moral sceptre ; when 

 that influence will be alone sufficient to insure to each sepa- 

 rated element, that freedom which is essential to its complete 

 developement ; when the appeal of the injured will be made 

 to man's moral nature ; and when the deep felt conviction of 

 another's wrong, will be more effectual in its redress, than a 

 million of bayonets. This moral government, coupled with 

 the full and complete developement of every human element, 

 is the highest possible attainment of humanity; it is the last 

 series of an hitherto constantly increasing progression ; it is 

 the near approximation of humanity to Deity ; it is that proud 

 point in this world's history, from which man can address his 

 God and say — fVe now realize the promise of thy coming.
