actcr that in my judgment demands special
notice.
II seems that some persons, actuated pro-
hably by spirit hostile to our organization,
and opposed to our principles, are luboring
with great zeal, and putting forth the most
indelatigablc efforts to plant new secret or
der in our midst, undcr the guise and name
OF" United American with the assumption
that their efforts tend to the accomplishment
of the same results as are contemplated by
the one to which we belong. They seek to
find out who our members are, and if posi-
bic, enlist them in the new organization
They also seek to find out those who think
our object n laudablc one, and our principles
true, but who have not as yet joined us, and
if possible dissuade them from uniting with
our Councils, and unite with their " Chap
ters.' wish to put you On the guard in
reference to this new movement If its OBJ
lect is the same as ours, who do not it's sup
portcrs unite with us I'm soma instances
persons why have been rejected from our
Councils have been received into thi, new
order, and at once commence warfare upon
us why this, again ask. il their object is
the same and their principles harmonize with
ours ] am well assured that it is only
gotten up with the design of distractiug the
public mind, and Of Oycrthrowing Us, and
/ that it is in the hands of our most inycterate
enemies, who will WELD it only with de-
| sign to destroy us, without any desire,
thought or wish, that the principles that
form our basis of action should succeed. To
us, upon this question, the maxim -. tor,-
nrdrHd IS .joredrm'd, Is perhaps sufficient.
Our members should not in my Judgment en-
list IN this new organization. for 1t will OF
necessity create Il diversity of interest and
