lieved in the doctrines of Mr.. ingalls,
and the rebel south. In the course of
the conversation Mr.. Powderly read
from a paper as follows: 1--WE hold
these truths to be elf-evident-that
all men are created free and equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness; that to secure these rights
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed" After read
ing, Mr.. Powderly stopped and said,
"All working men believe in that doc
trine." One of the group replied,
"The man who wrote that was a
damned agitatOr. 1t is just such stuff
as that that is turning the heads of the
honest wOrkingman of this country"
a smile passed over the face of one
gentleman in the group. The rest
seemed to be ignorant of the fact that
they had been listening to the declara-
ton of independence, and yet they
were all well-dressed, intelligent look
ing gentlemen.
The declaration of independence is
the test and tombstone of American
patriotism. Those who believe, teach
and practice its doctrines are the
friends of free government. Those
who spurn and defy its teachings in
word and deed are the champions and
friends of approaching despotlsm.

The following resolution was passed
at the Buckeye alliance April 23d:
Resolved, That the Abilene Cbron.
icle, in the publication of false report
of an alliance meeting at Abilene, and
in its assertion that J. j. Ingalls, is the
choice of the alliance for another term
in the senate of the United States,
proves its hypocrisy to the cause Of the
farmer and is unworthy of our support.
