BRorHERs- The American Order has indicated
its nationality. It has spurDed the bribs Of se,tion
al deception-it has refused to commit ltssif to the
guidance Of politicians. It has taught lessons OF
moderation and wisdom, and spoken words Of truth
and sobernes. It has sdmonished the people to
resist tho designs Of fcrsign emissAres to rebuks
the schemes Of domestic factions, and to unite 10
bends OF patriotic fraternity ell who bear the proud
title Of American citizen. Eternal enmi.y to the
foes OF the Union fraternity and union to the c.i
zens aud sections that ,mpose IT, Aud this senti'
ment is i6ed by countless tn 5usands in the pre-
seIce Of cpngregsted patriots from every sec lion Of

ward Of industry-from where the fearless Ssx,n
fpurning with native integrity the profered
bride OF foreign power, grssped with tru,
emotion the hand that welc )msd him bask t.
the associations OF his nativity-from where Cal
Hernia, grateful fer delivery from the arm OF anar
cby and the cloud OF SUPERSTITION pours her golden
tribute into the common Golfer s--tGom where the
City of the Crescent gamers the great commerce
of the West II seeks an outlet TO the marta and mar

nign influence which has descended upon this inset
ing. Americans have deliberately and for the first
time, weighed the value OF their national name
against the infamous agitation which would impair
