VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS. Wo are pleased tn see tlra following remnrks in the Southern Patriot, tho oditoruf which is distin guished amongst his compeer# by his sound com mon *enso views of matters in general. We need scarcely say that they find an echo in our own breast. Wc have seen several extract* in one ofthe Bos ton papers front a discourse delivered by the Rev. Parsons Cookb, of Andover, Moss., entitled '* M->ral Machinery Simplified,” in which the au thor attacks with greabfnrcn of argument, the ex pediency and lawfulness nf Voluntary Associations, to effect social reformation. In the course of Ids reasoning he distinguished between those Associa tions that pass tinder thu appellation of Benevolent Societies, which profess to feed the hungry, clotho tho naked and attend tlra sick—those which in fact claim as tlrair s«lu object, to relieve the physical wonts of man, and those which address themselves tn his intollnctusl nnd moral nature and attempt to operate on his desire# and affections, ftrough public opinion. The former class of Associations, the writer of course upholds—the Intter l a condemns. Ho applies his argument with great offect to the Abolition Societies ns among the worst of those Voluntary Association#. We nre gratified to #ee this view taken of Volun tnry A#socia'inns by so intelligent a judge of these questions in one of the East-rn States. It is by such " Mural Machinery" that nur country is threatened with change#, assuming tho gui*e of re formation. Wlint tho press ennne accomplish by the slow process of argument, is effected by tho un ion and co-operation of a few skilful and designing person* operating on large masses of men. f opu- Inr impul'fs are worked upon until a change is pro duced, and tlra result is railed public opinion — Not only are male# banded together for this pur pose, but female# are induced in sunte par's of tlie country to enter such Associations, nnd who, from their peculiar susceptibility to those influence# which speak to the heart nnd imagination, are nio#t likely to diffuse n moral contagion throughout tha various ranks of life. Tho principle nf volun tary association is thus tnado Bra instrument ofth-se changes af opinion, through popular passions aiul diffusive sympathies, which sltould be wrought out by calm appeals to reason and reflection. We think tho great multiplication latterly of these cl*tle# throughout tho country, ind'ntiiva of danger tnall lira institutions of tha land wlth h havo any reoommsndsiion m general con fob-an# am J public veneration, nnd we era glad m —9 an ebla in nppo* •rant aa Mr. Coant, erreylug himself against • principle tltet threatens su* It serious rmwequenres.
