Their wartt of jufticte, is demon
strated by their opposition to the
payment of the just debt of the
government, their Want of mode
ration and. decency in their fcur
rilicies and personal invedivek a*
gain ft the most worthy Citizens,
and their want of patfiotifm, by
their endeavours to render our
government meanly fubfetvieht to
the politics of an ambitious and
powerful European nation. Un
der the impression of such senti
ments, and such a belief, we hold
it to be our duty to raise from
that Blent contempt with which
we have viewed- their conspiracies
again ft our happiness, and to op
pose system to system. We have
therefore entered into the following
resolutions, viz;
Refolded t That it is the opinion
of this focie*', that any number
of citizens have an uhqueftionable
right to form themselves into clubs
societies or aflbciations for any ob
jedls particularly interesting to
themselves, other than such as e
quallv interest the whole body of
the people*
Refohed, That all aflaciatiqhs
for the purpose of influencing e
le&ions, of altering and subverting
the government^ and counteract
ing its administrators, are proscri
bed by the firft resolution, and are
dangerous to liberty, subversive
of all order, and ought to be pro
hibited under the severest penal
ties in all free government.
Refoived^ That all aflbciations
formed for political purposes, in
which the members are few, and
admitted with cautiop, and whofp
meetings and proceedings are in
any refpeCt concealed from the
public view and examination,
whatever be the pretence for the
fame, whether fpeeious and decep
tive, as if designed to promote
political information^ or afluming
and arrogant, aS if intended to be
the guardians of public rights, and
censors of the cpnftituted author
ities, will never fail to-degenerate
into aristocratic juntos, dangerous-.
to the freedom of election\ arid
deftru&ive of the peace and order,
if not of the existence of govern
ment.
/Revived, That as there exists '
two clades of people in the United
States, the one comprehen ling the
needy, turbulent and ambitious
leaders of parties in the great towns,
in close connexion with their
rant adherents and retainers, and
with the filth of European ^mi
grants. The other including the 1
great body of the yeomanry, in
the Eastern States, a elafs of men
the most numerous and virtuous,
free from envy of superior wealth,
Ration, or abilities, and from the
rashness of ambition, content w^h
themselves and their fellow citi
zens, moderate in their desires,
nearly equal in property, inftruCted
in their duties, and firmly attached
to the principles of our free and
happy government; it is the with.
of the American Orderly Society,
to receive accessions to their body,
by admitting all persons, from the
last mentioned ciafs, whc (hall be
desirous of the fame.
Resolved. That the foie objeCt
of the American Orderly Society,
is to fccure our political Kapmnels
