There is 10 hope of success in the ulti-
mate olEect in view. except through IN ear
" and tlolougi organization. This should
not onlf extend to States. and cities. and
crunti-t, but should bc ramificd into every
township and village, and even, rs far rs
practicable. into every scl,ool district
throughout The country. Il. ciubs o. as,o-
cia;ion3ot III, nature contemplated are not

Ii OF this course in this latter particular,
unless open action an& dclibcration shall be
prevented Ly threatened or actual violence
which we do not anticipate. An open and
manly declaration oilour opinions and rGr-

Let those court foncealment who feel
conscious that their contemplated acts are

and MISCHIEF, and tonspiring against the
welfare of their COUNTRY and its cherished
institutions. We pavc no designs which
we neeJ hesitasc tdavow before the whole
