The deltaic between these tw*. individual*
commenecd in tins city »»n Monday, the ldth
inst. nnd was continued nine days successively.
Seven Moderators were chosen, any three of
whom were authorized to preside over the
meetings. There wh* each day of the debate,
im audience of more than 1200 persona, many
of whoin were strangers, attracted to our city
by the novelty and importance of the discuss
ion. The arguments on both sides of the «pies
lion, have been regularly taken down by n ste
nographer, and will, we understand, he publish
ed.
We were not among those who anticipated
any very beneficial results from this meeting,
fearing that, ns is too often the case in these
personal interviews, the equanimity of temper
would lie disturbed. and the debate sink into
acrimonious recrimination. Hindi, however,

I* is not on this occasion, our intention to of
fer any particular analysis of this controversy,
which la rendered the lets neeewiry, by t he.
prospect of nn early publication of the entire
argument*.
It will be recollected tlint Mr. Owen propos
ed to prove, that nil Ihe rrlipions of the tcorld
iterefounded in Ihe ignorance of mankind- that
they are opposed to the n» ver changing lairs of our
nature that they are Ihe only source of vice, dis
union nnd misery} and that they arc the only bar
to the formation of a society of virtue, of intdli
genre, nnd of chanty in its most extended sense.
To sustain these positions. Mr. Owen produced
and rend the following “Twelve Fundamental
I,aw* of II*iman Nature.”
I That man at hi* birth i* ignorant ofevery
tiling relative to bis on n organization, and that
'•e has not beep permitted to create the slight

Ill Tlint each individual is placed ut birth
without his knowledge or consent within cir
riimstances, w hich acting upon its peculiar or
gnnizntion, impress the gtmernl character of
those circumstances upon the infant, child nnd

stances, is to a certain degree modified by the
peculiar natural organization of each individu
al.
lectured ou tho “dociui Bysiem 1 ’ of parallelo
grams. winch have already been pronounced by
Mr. Owen, in all the great cities from London
to New Orleans. That he has succeeded hi
impressing their t*ulh upon a single one of his
hearers, it would he hazarding too much to ad
mit: and so far from having established, or
even sustained, to any tolerable extent, the sev
eral positions in his challenge, we believe, we
are speaking the opinion of nine tenths of Ins
audience, when we say that a greater fail
ure hos seldom been witnessed on any or
casion. All admit that the talent, the skill
and debate, and the weight of proof were
on the side of Mr. Campbell. Those who be
lieved this philosopher of “ circumstances” and
“ parallelograms’* to ho a great man, appear
to he sadly disappointed ; rnnny of those inelin
ad to his theory of “ social compacts’’ have le
lapsed into a state of sanity ; while the disciples
of infidelity, have either hern shaken in their
faith, or provoked, tlmt their cause should
have been so seriously injure*! by mismanage
ment and feebleness. S«> far ns it regards tin
cause of truth, this discussion has been fortu
nate, hut so far ns it respects the peculiar view -
of the challenger, unfortunate. We have nl
ready questioned the sincerity of Mr. Owen .1
expectation that his challenge would be accept
ed. The reason for giving it is obvious enough
His new system vvns falling into disrepute.—
his doctrines were beginning to pall upon the
public ear,—those who hn«l been enchanted hy
his theories were disgusted with their practical,
results,—and New Harmony was a striking,
vve can hardly say, living memorial of the eg
regions folly of his Utopian schemes. To sus
tain his character as a moral reformer, nnd
grntify his ambition for notoriety, it became
important to keep alive public interest upon the
subject. The challenge was therefore given in
New Orleans for effect, nml vv ns re-published
ami perverted in its meaning, f«»r u siinil r pur
pose in London. Mr. Owen’s real or assumed
enthusiasm on the subject of reforming the
world, seem to he in no manner abated hy his
signal discomfiture at this meeting. We should
not, indeed, he surprised to hear that he left our
city exclaiming, to quote his own word*, on a
former occasion : “ My friends, in the day and
hour, when ! disclaimed nil connexion with the
errors and prejudice* of tho old system —a day
to he remembered with joy and gladness, hence
forward through nllng!**, the dominion of faith
censed ; its reign of terror, of disunion, of
separation, nnd of irrationality was broken to
pioccfl like n potter’s vessel. Now henceforth
charity presides over the destinies of the world.”

IV. Tlmt no infant has thn power of deeid
ing ut vvhnt period of time, or in what port ol
the world, he shall come into existence
whom lie shall lie horn, in vvhnt particular re
ligion he shall he trained to believe, or hy what
other rirrumutanros he shall he surrounded
from birth t«> death.
V. That »n»rh individual ia so rreuted, that
when young, he mny he made to receive impro.s
*ion*, to produce either true ideas or false no
tions, nnd beneficial or injurious habits, and to
retain them with greet tenacity.
VI That each individual is so created, that
he must believe ncromiug hj che sti*nigrmt
pressions that ran lie made on bin feelings, sne
other faculties, while his belief in no case do
pemls upon his will.
VII. That each individual is so created that
he must like that which is pleasing to him,
thst which produces agroeshle sensations on hie
individual organization, and he must dislike
pleasant nr disn
from*the ^ grwahle sensations ; while he cannot discover
previous to experience, vvhnt those sensations
slmll he.
VIII. That each individual is so created that
the sensations mode upon his organization ul
tlio’ pleasant and delightful at their commence
ment, nml for some duration, generally become
when continued, beyond a certain period, with
out change, disagreeable nnd painful. While
on the contrary, when a too rapid rhnngo of
sensation* is made nn his organization, it His
sipntes, vvenken* and otherwise injures lu<
physical, intellectual nnd moral powors and en-
jaymnnts.
IX. That the highest health, the greatest pro
gressive improvements, nnd the most perman-
ent hnppiness ofeach individual, depend
great degree upon the proper cultivation of all
physical, intellectual nml moral faculties and
power * from infancy to maturity, and upon all
these purls of his nature being duly < ailed into
action, st their proper period, nml temperately
exorcised secor-hog to the strength and cnpaci
ty of the individual.
X That the individual is made to pom^ss
mi l to acquire the trorst character, when his
organization at birth has been compounded of
the most inferior propensities, faculties and
qualities of our common nature ; and when so
organized, he lias been placed, from birth to
death, amidst the most vicious or worst circimi
stances.
XI That the individual is made to posses*,
nn l to acquire n medium character, when his
original organization has been created superior
nml when the circumstance.* which surrounded
him from l»irth to death produce continued
n’oits or unfavorable impressions. Or when his
organization hn* been formed of inferior male
rinl*. \ th«* r irrumstiinces in which hehnshcei
placed from birth to death, are *d a chnrncter to
product superior impressions only Or when
there has been some mixture fgood A: 6adqunl
t'C* in the original organization, nnd it tins also
been placed, through life, in varied cirrtimsiati-
c*»n of good and mV. This last compound has
hem hitherto flic common lot of mankind.
XII. That the individual is made the most
superior of his species, when his original or
gatii/ation, lias been compounded of the best
proportion* of the b**et ingrcd.ents of which hu-
mnn nature is formed, nn*l when the circuni
stances which surround him from birth to death
:,! j nr© of a character to produce only superior im -
n our prcssions ; or in other words, when thecircuir-
thmg [ stances, nr laws, iiiMtitunons nml customs in
which lie i* placed. Are all in unison with his
nature.
How far these twelve “divine laws” or
“ gems” as Mr. Owen is pleased to cnll them,
prove, that all the religions ot’ the world are
founded in the ignorance of mankind, am! ace
the cause of all the existing vice and misery, Is
for the reader to determine The author of
them, seemed lo consider their pertinency to
the sbjert matter of debate, eo great, that ho
rend them.ns vve are informed, twelve times
to the audience. They constituted, indeed, the
sum nnd substance of the philosopher's argu
ment, and, interspersed with expressions of the
rankest infidelity, und the most dangerous
heresies in morals, they were repeated, from
day today, with fatiguing insipidity; ami ap
plied, without application, in every stage nnd
condition nftlie debate. It will he perceived,
that these “ twelve gems,” which, until disin
terred hy the ‘ forty year’s labour of their die
coverer, Imd Inin buried for two thousand yenrp,’
arr littl*? rjioro than tho rubmne? cf ‘"Tain
the points in dispute with them, set out to
tahlishthe truth of revelation, nnd to apply the j question for your roneideratio
precepts of Christianity to the present condition i nory shall nr not he established
and future hopes of mankind. !u doing this lie
manifested nn intimate acquaintance, with the
subject. Ho is undoubtedly a muu *o .' »• ".*
ents und equally fine affair ♦'•cr*:« M'ith m
«« ute, vigorous mind, quirk perceptions, nnd
rapid powers of combination, ho has sorely
puzzled his antagonist, nnd at the sunm time
both delighted and instructed lus audience hy
his masterly defence of ihe truth, divine origin
and inestimable importance of Christianity.—
That Mr. Campbell would bring forward any
new facte upon litis subject was not to he ex
pected, but ha has arranged, combined, nnd rn
forced those already existing, in n manner well
calculated to carry, a* wo are informed it has
in several ir^tmires, conviction to the doubting
nml skeptical mind.

In conclusion, we may ho permitted t » uny
ihnt the signs of tho times are greatly decept
ive, ifths “Twelve Fundamental Laws of
Nature, hy which Mr. Owen, with the aid of n
few parallelograms, is to form an “entire new
stRt© ofejistenre,” are destined, very speedily
to supersede the divine laws of the “Twelve
A post lea.” We have no faith in the overthrow
of the established order of society am! the great
system of Christianity ; even hy the conjoint at
larks of the New Lanark Philosopher, and Mr s
Fanny Wright. If the genius, the wit, the ri
dicule, nnd the argument of such men as Hume,
nnd Voltaire, ami Condoreet, ami Gibbon ami
Paine havo failed to arrost the mighty and wide
spreading march of the Christian religion, it re
quires no small degree of credulity to believe,
that Uohert Otren can ever he successful. As
v*-ll might wo anticipate, thnt the sun nt hit
