be admitted. Moreover, would suggest to Mr..
NJ. T. Brewer that he has chosen an unpropi-
tious time to manifest his disturbance at the
existence of military organizations. 1t looks
as ii we should soon want all the arms and
the men we can muster. War with England is,
to say the least, not improbable, and let me re-
mind Mr.. Brewer that while nearly 100000
Irishmen have volunteered to serve the flag we
have not heard that Mr.. Brewer or his society
has offered single rifle or man. Indeed,
Mr.. Editor, it is more than likely that if war
should come these knights of the jawbone will
be found under the Union Jack.
Since Grover Cleve1and's message you can
tell every A. p. A. in town by his sour yisage
and his long face. Like their champion the
Gracious Majesty Victoria, R. l., and every
time the lions tail is twisted their hearts ex-
perience sympathetic twinge.
NJ. T. Brewer speaks much of the principles
and the patriotism of the A. P. A. Again say
that this is an unprOpitious time to draw at
tention to the genesis OF his society. The pres
ent unfriendliness with England has brought
prominently before us that she is our heredi-
tary enemy. The newspapers have shown that
for years she has been preparing for war.
Times and seasons are not known even to the
angels, but the trend OF destiny is manifest to
the very blind. War with England is inevita-
BILE and England has long ago recognized the
inevitable and has prepared TO meet it.
She is the successor of old Rome, and every
trick of old Rome is hers. Divide and conquer
has been her motto all over the world. and her
success has justified her confidence in that
policy. To-day she is trying to divide America.
She has sent her minions into this land TO re-
viye the old religious feuds and to set brother
against brother in order that the strength of
our land having been wasted in intestine
discord she may work her own sweet will
This is the true reason of the origin of the A.
P. A. 1t is an engine of British diplomacy
manned by British subjects and subsidized by
British gold. Who form the rank and file of
the A. p A. in this City? Canadians, Orange
men, Britishers. Who is their champion? A
subject of Queen Victoria? Who is their
supreme head? Trainor, Canadian alien.
There are some Americans in the order, but
they entered it with hoodwink on their eyes,
and they will shake its dust off their feet when
they recognize its purpose. Yes, Mr.. Brewer,
1t is unfortunate for you to talk OF patriotism
at this juncture, you who are the conscious or
unconscious instrument of power whose one
ambition is to see this great republic broken
and debased.
1t is hardly necessary to draw your attention,
Mr. Editor, 10 the extraordinary discrepancy
between the statements of g. A. Hubbell and
M. I. Brewer concerning the A. P. A. oaths.
Mr.. Hubbell gracefully yields to the inevitable
and admits the authenticity OF the documents
which / published. Mr.. Brewer lifts up his
voice and denies with all his might. Now,
