for the nnrnose of nromoting the cause Of
LOYALTY 10 the Union throughout the non-rs-
constructed States bv means of ORGANIZATION
of ITn;on ,eao ones and the delivery of popu-
lar addrassea
Ready for any service that / could render
in nromotion Of so laudable an object as that
of The salvation of the Republic. / accepted
tba m;ea;onn offered me and on the 18th of
that month denarted from this citv bearing
in INV hand letter Of instructions signed
bv Won on be half of the National Council
az which Won are President. This letter set
forth the facts concerning the present de-
nlorable condition of the Southern region of
our country. and the several political and
industrial reforms necessary to the future
peace and prosperity of that section were
named as the incentives which moved the
National Council to enter vigorously upon
the work of extending the leagues as the
best agency for the accomplishment of the
great ends in view. 5Isia,
+ was instructed to Join nv efforts to those
IF tho natr;otic citizens of the Southern
States who should be found already orga
nized and at work in the same cause which
I was sent forth to promote, and to use nv
hest efforts TO bring to notice any Injustice
or onnression upon any citizen by public of.
ficers or by individuals: in an orderly and
lawful way to secure, if possible. full repara-
ton to the injured. And furthermore, it
was enioined upon me. in all cases where
loyal citizens. members of the league, should
be found unable to read or write. to use nv
best efforts to have them properly in
tructed.
Furthermore, the letter of instructions
which was placed in my hands set forth
that the civil and political equality OF cit
liens should be fuliy acknowledged ana
taught as cardinal principles, and temper
ance, industry, obedience to law, and the
general educatlon OF the people, shouid De
insisted on by all members OF the order, ana
their SURFACES should be given only to men
who earnestly advocate ana IN private or
public positions faithfully support these
principles, and measures" In conclusion,
the letter stated that !" it is and will be made
a cardinal principles of our order to act vig-
lorously In the advancement OF material IN
terests, and to recommend and adopt the
most judiclous and effective plans to pro-
mote the pecuniary welfare and common
thought OF all the people," With these in
structions and those Others relating to the
naodus operands OF the organization, felt
that my mission to the South was as much
one OF philanthropy as 1t was OF patriotism.
A report OF my tour through eight OF the
Southern States and of the work accom-
plishel under the auspices of the National
Council, and in accordance with your letter
| of instructions, will not be without interest
at this juncture. trg;
