The fifth chapter is by far the most impor-

said, that OF this we have not the slightest doubt

LONGS TO my elan, which is OF more importance
Than stealing negroes, shorter way To over
grown fortune, and il is not far ahead. The move
ments OF my clan have been secret as could have
expected, IN that matter: things moving ON
smooth and easy. But this is u matter that is
known only by II few of our leading characters.
The clan is not all of the prit there arc two
classes The FIRST class keeps all THEN designs,

this reason, all who would be willing 10 Join u.s.,
are not capable OF managing our designs and there
would be danger OF their making disclosures which
would lead to the destruction OF our dcs gus before
they are perfected. This class is what we call tho
grand council.
The second class those whom we trust with
nothing, only that which the, are Immediately con

between Us and danger For few dollars can

operations We design having our companies so
stationed over the country, in the vicinity of tho
banks and large cities, that when lc negroes com
mrnec their carnage aud slaughter, we will have
detachmcns 10 me the towns, and rob the banks,

the slave Staies, the negro population is not strong,
and would br easily oycrpowered but back them
with few rcsolute leaders from clan, and they
will murder thousands, and huddle the remainder
into large bodies OF stationary defence, for their
preservation and then, IN many other places, the
black population, is much the strongest, and under
a leader, would oNcrrun the country before any
steps could be taken to suppress them, ii IT Is man
