TIE FOREIGN pELEqAT1oS.
I give you aboya the fe.tntes of inpor.
tance In the business Of both OF yesterdays
sessions, choosing rather compactness in
arrangement than to follow the order OF their
Introduction. hegreasest interest and value
Is attached to the presence here of d1stfn-
guished delegates from abroad. To these
Gov. Buckingham, as moderator Of the Coun-
Gil. made brief address Of welcome, express
ing the pleasure Of the Council at their pres
ence and for tic recognition in other lands Of

the sympathy Of those they represented with
The eause Gf the Union
Rev. DR.. Masste, as many Of your readers

sands Of friendly EuglishmeD, At Manchester

THE GRAND COUNCIL U. L. A.
Your correspondent does NOT Know h3W
much interest you take. and how much con-
tidence sou feel, In the efficacy Of secret po.
lstical ORGANIZATION to help Us at this time in
our national history, whcn the only tenet Of
principle and doctrine that Will serve us Is
rule OF right, Us patent and public as tue air
and the sunlight. The G;aua Council Of the
Union League Of America held q very un-
sensational session here short time sioce,
and hare resolved to convene grand NJ
uenal Convention U. L. A., q circular TO
such effect having been Issued by William
Ciatlin, Grand President, aud ). B. stebbins,
Grand Secretary. The cnunctation Of the
proposition Of these gentlemen strikes
deadly blow at theis policy Of secsesY.
Where is the necessity OF any dark lantern
and maequeradjn" abo1t the noble object Of
petitiopipE CoDRreEs to submit to the people
'tan amendment to the Constitution OF the
United States, which shall declare and pro-
v.de that persons Of one color or race shall
not be excluded from any political rights or
privileges possessed bJ persons Of any other
co.or or race"
$50 say ne all ..of us." There Is about as
much occasion for secret oath on that sub
ject. az In similarly swearing the teachers Of
SUNDAY schools, and even this national coun-
Gil Of otthtdox clergJmen.
