The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-07-20

statements previously made by us than.as throwing
any additional light upon the objects which this
mysterious Association has in view
That there is an organization styled the K G. c.,
In this city, will not denv; but on the contrary
boldly assert and as agood citizen of the good old
Monumental City, am proud to be known as one of
Its members, member of an organization that
knows andrecognises every member as brother
and as brother bound to cherish and to protect
not only each other brothers. but to respect and
support our country laws its beloved institutions
ana also to do all In our power to ertend those in
sututlons and influences upon this continent the
new world; to extend our own peculiar American
liberty where it is not felt; to give solidity and
strength TO new government that NAV hereafte
be established, either i'll Cuba or that mysterious
mineral 49,, or in some other country where ''de-
ponent saith not" The X. G.. C.'s know no poti-
cal party; they advocate the nterests of no partcu-
lar sect or creed. They know North, South,
East or lest, but members of the order, Amer
leans all, and all nothing but Americans, we love
the whole country, and We are all of US men that
can and do appreciate the blessings of the govern
ment which it is our great good fortune to have
! for our own-a government respected by the whole
world, and living under liberty dear to every
man that has enjoyed its blessings; nation that
| the name even is held dear to millions of the op-
pressed of the old world; sovereignty of re oubcs
unparalleled either in ancient modern times and
| transmitted to us by our fathers as a noble
inheritance for us to protect, to enjoy, and to
a constitutional and legitimate manner
When it can be done by the peaceful pursuits
OF agriculture, of encouraging emigration
for the settlement of unoccupied territory of i'm
proving the condition of people by the peaceful
pursuits OF commerce and of internal improve
ments. When everything of that kind is neglect
ed, and everything, in fact that enrolling to man
forgotten, and all things else swallowed up, save
the ambition of petty chietains, and that, fed by
the pampered wealth, wrung by unjust, cruel and
exacting laws, from an ignorant and degraded peo-
pie, carrying desolation and ruin in its course ex-
acting unjust and onerous taxes upon people
levying contributions monthly upon every depart
ment OF the country, for men and money to sustain
the marauding bands of outlaws by which the
country is misunderstanding a death blow at the
very root of every branch of industry Keeping back
the resources OF the country, and hiding from the
world its wealth of agriculture and natural re-
sources, which, with energy, industry perseverance
and capital of the sunken nation, or portion of
her surplus people, would make the mysterious
country of which we speak to ''smiIe and blossom
as the rose" We wish it to be distinctly under
stood, and for all, that we are not flibusters
We most Indignantly repel any and all such charges
as false, in every sense of the word. We are not
an irresponsible party, acting on the impulses of
unprncipled leaders; nor are we a branch OF any
fanateal clique, irresponsible for its actions Bit
oar basis as broad and Deep and principles are
from that instrument that told the world on the
Attn day OF july 1916 of the birth of what we to-day
ENJOY; and, backed by own American Coustitu-
ton and laws, the influence oil which we are invited
to extend, until it shall be known in "Cuba' or
that mysterious '6,'' well as it is known in our
own land. | would be particular also to state to
the capitalists of our country that have none of
our stock in market as yet, and it is extremely
doubtful whether we do introduce it in the city of
Baltimore; if we do I am very certain it will not
have ''to go begging" to get takers. And the
community also labor under mistake as to the per
centum we intend to pay to our bond-holders; it
being only 10 per cent, instead of twenty per an
mum. That celebrated ''gray eyed man of destiny
has nothing to do with the X. 6. C. Our objects,
and our plan of attaining them, are based on far
different foundation from any movement he was
ever concerned in. We have no successors of the
"grav-eyed man" among us; but we do have in our
members many of the first men of the good old
State of Maryland of Virginia, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia. Texas and
almost every State throughout the North, East and
West. If then are humbugging, or taking ad-
vantage of the creduly of the people; five are fill
clustering; if our objects are based upon "a condi-
ton OF delightful uncertainty there is most GER
tainly avery large and respectable portion of our
people, who will, doubt be found searching for
that "Andalusia" in the land of the "mysterious
q, "Cuba," or some other unknown country, as
many term the point of our destination The prin-
clples of the great American Constitution are our
prneiples-her laws, our laws-to uphold, to cher
lsh to protect to extend and to transmit to future
generations. So"
