At general meeting Of members Of
the Order, in the City Of Brooklyn, held
at the corner Of Court and Sacket sts., on
Friday evening, Nov. %, 1854, for the
purpOs. Of considering the late action Of
the Grand Council; the following prram-
bic and resolutions we're unanimously
adopted, and il was resolved that the
same be printed, and copy thereof tor
wsrded 10 zach Council iu this State;
Whereos The action OF the Grand CoIn-
cil Of Ibe oI.lte OF New York, at their late
session in Ocober last, IN making an in
! dependent nomination for State Officers,
without instructions TO that effect from the
Subordinate Councils of the S'ate,,and
withnu, giving !bem an oppu't 'nity to
participate in the selection Ui sain caudi
dates, and when 30 necessiiy Fxlsted for
such course, inaSmuch RS GOfl3 MEN
and fHU b had already been anouiDated
by the great political parties OF the Safe,
the nomination OF some o! whom Was ef-
lecJed by the directed action Of this Or
der, was departure from the true in
Iercsts and objects of this Order, an un-
warraRGable assumption OF power, and in
direct violation oi resolutions adopted by
the same Grand Council in June last:
-dad Whereas, The said GrandeCouncl
adopted resolutions presented by haupcy
Shaller, putting an unwarrantable and ex
post tscto construction upon the obhga-
.ons of the members OF this Order, there
by en''eavoring to coerce and compel them
by threats and penalties to vote for the
candidates SO nominated by said Grand
Council, in direct violation of the Consti-
tuition and laws of the land, and subver-
sive Of the genius and spirit OF our repub,
lican institutions.
And Whereas, The said Grand Council,
at their recent session, adopted resolu-
lion originally suggested by H. A. I.
Granbury, requiring the members of this
Order, under certain pains and penalties,
to confess, under oath, Low they voted at
the IT scent election, in palpable violation Of
the rights and privileges secured to, and
so highly priced by every true American
Therefore,
ReS0l0ed That we repudate and con-
denim the aforementioned action of the
Grand Council as Anti American, Anti
Republican, and the most unwarranted,
abominable and dangerous assumption of
despotc power ever attempted in this re-
public in It's confessional, penance, aud
threats Of communication only equaed
by the inquisition of Spain, and only wor-
thy of imitation by the Grand Councils OF
Cardinals at Rome.
Resolred, That any American asserting
or yielding obedience to such degrading
and inquistorial requisiton, inherits not
the split OF his revolutionary sires, and
is unworthy the name of son of '76, and
descends to the levi of an ignorant Pa.
pist.
Resolped, That we recommend our
brethren to pause and calmly reflect, be.
fore they aid in centraizing so dangerous
power in the bands Of body, who,
however pure they may now be, may at
some future time, be composed of nnprin-
ciped men, who, regardless OF the public
interests, WELD it for their own personal
&ggrandizement.
