STATE GnANoEor MINNESOTA
Winona, MIMI, Aug. 8, 1873.
To Subordinate Oranges Of Patrons of Hus-
bandry Of tho State Of Minnesota:
1t has come to my knowledge that
certain Oranges, in this Jurisdiction,
have appointed delegates to political
convention, to be held at Owatonna on
the I'd day of September next. deem
such action not only unwisc, but in d.
rect violation Of the Fundamental law of
our order, and that it subjects the Gran
ges so doing, to the danger Of a rcvo-
cation of their charters.
Individual Patrons are under no re-
strictions whatever, in their religious or
political conduct. County Councils are
Not recognized as belonging to the or
der, or subject to its laws. We Law no
claim to any control, over SC. allied Far
mers' conventions. But Oranges Of
Patrons Of 1lusbandry, are prohibited,
by the law which gives them existence,
from engaging in eithe. religious or po-
litical action or discussions. This pro-
hibltion is imposed for the best and
wisest Of purposes. 1t is our only safe
guard against sure and speedy dcstruc-
ton: Upon obedience to this law de-
ponds our very existence as an order.
1t is with profound regret and morti.
fiication that l have witnessed this de.
part IRE from cur cherished principles.
Just as success is within our grasp, and
our labors are about to be rewarded by
an abundant prosperity, are we to for
get our mission and barter away our be-
loved Order for mess Of political pot
tage? Are We to lose sig ht of tho
grand objects before us-the social, in
tellectual and financial regeneration and
elevation Of our class-which should
make our order perpetual-for any con-
sideration Of temporary advantage, or
Of doubtful expediency? Patrons, let
US stand fast to our principles.
call upon the offending Oranges to
retrace the false steps taken to recall
their delegates elected to the convention
above named, and reconsider their res
olutions: I call upon all the Oranges in
this jurisdiction TO conform to and
abide by" the constitution, rules and
regulations Of the Order and to refrain
from, all poll, ical action or discussion.
