the rest OF mankind" that neither Mr.. Allen

of The other orders, Barker CT Seward, but
hold them both to be bogus or spurious

terly repudiate both as corrupt in principle,

pies remain the same, purely American in

appealing to the prejudlces Of any sect or
party for support in our elections. We be-
lieve in the principles ss laid down and

We do not believe that we, as an organiza-
ton, have any thing to do with slavery
