      ODD FELLOWSHIP . EEPOItT OF THE VnOCEEDISGS AT A PUBLIC JIEETING OF ODD FELLOWS , LATELY HELD IX THE MEAL HOCSE , NICHOLAS CROFT , MANCHESTER . [ Tiic following is the report of tlie second meeting , le . d in Manchester , on the differences that have sprJiwr «}• between il « c *' Management" of the Order and its Member * , which we promised last week . We would crave attention to the two documents a ' opted by the mcetins , the " Declaration of Rig hts , " a \ n \ tliis " Declaration of iKticpendencc ;" xnd i-articalarir to the vrlnrfpks cniiroilit-d and forcibly jiiaintaiiscil in t 5 : en ^ Is it likely that msn wi o lave such a lattk to light , with arrogant and as samea "authority , " asis Jiere described , will leave the fickl ' till they conquer ? We thnik not : and should say " shame caihtuC' if they did . ]

It is % mu :-j : U assistants that tlie evils of life are initiated . It thc-ref < m > becomes the duty of man to assist'liis fel'ounmn as far as lies iu liis power . For this purjwse have we combined together—our object being , 'Peace on earrh , jooa will toman . ' Aim we hereby pledge ourselves to « Vi our utmost to assist our brethren in the hour of Bee ^ and by mutual tfforts , tudeavour to make smooth the ruj ~; ed paths of life .

      ' ¦ "Laws arc tlie ceiacnt winch unites society . H is therefore . necessary that laws should be made for tlie gOTcrnnicnt of our Ordi-r . Ii is i-quall v necessary that a ready and cfcetrful < tbedici . ee sliouid be paid to tlu- « a . But whilst we provide for a due oVserwmeo of thclttWn , We also recognise-, iu its fullest sense , the right vf every mu 4 i ! ier to have a voice in iiidr construction . Therefore & >«'«¦ ¦ guarantee—the right of foil and free representation—that is to say , that every Lodge shall possess tlie right of sending a representative to all -Jie general iiacting ' . < H the body , without infriajtein ; : any power , which mav i « j uereaiter ; icc < ir-leil to disirirts .

      " Taught by sad experience , that the possession of uncoalr . illed powi-rby liad and ambitious men inevitably leacs to flie destruction of our liberties , and fully agreeing in iiie principle , that Justice should be tempi-red with Merry , we therefore declare , that every nicintar snail lie « lecm < . < i to be Innocent until lie is proved to tic- gutly . That : iu punishment Aa \\ be inflicted—awt no fin ..- » uan be levied—that na censure sliall be passed—until the aecawl party shall have had si fair aud impartial trial , accbrding to the usages and customs established by the Order . " The power of self- ; ovennent is the inherent right of man—it is also tlie strongest bond of usion which can write society ; we therefore provide , that every Lodge liefangins to our Order shall have the sole and uncontrolled

      pow « =-, m accordance witU the general laws , to regulate thai' UWU affair * , and to niaks such financial arrangements a ? to them uuy seem most proper , sulgtct only to the restriction of jmjfuse or extravagant expendirur ^ or an - -ijrhcauon of tlieir funds to improper purposes . That no individual , or individuals , or any assembly of our memiiers , shall have Uiejiowfr of interference , except iu the casss store-mentioned . But that the right of Lod » cs to tilt- distribution of tlieir own funds , for the purposes for whuft we have combined together , shall ^ be held intact and inviolate .

      "TiiesK privileges -we lioW as tl ; e chartered right « f Onr la-etluva , uvlindnallj am ! collectively—we proclaim then * as the fixed and immutable principles of Justice , and we acknowledge them to be ihe sacred and iudefead-Uer ij&ts of our members .

      mentioned in that l : st . The reasons for such omission were bsst known in Ajtoun-street . The Board were very severe in their judgments against the poor members , or those who O ] ij ) o » id tliinn in their overbearing conduct , but vary lenient with those who sailed iu tlie same boat with them . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) lie therefore exhorted them to maintain the pure principles of Oddfellowship . Srciire at this time their independence aud the right of self-government . Mr . Dixon concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That this meeting tenders their best thanks to those deputies who composed the Manchester District Quarterly Committee , for their bold , maaly , and independent conduct in < left ; noing the District aga : nstth'j aggressions made upon the " constitution and laws of the Order . And further , this meeting pledges itself to stand by the deputies aud the resolutions they may agree upon at their adjourned meeting on -Mondav next .

      Jr . WntTTAKEB , in seconding the resolution , said a blow had be ^ -n struck at the Order ; nay mor e , a dagger had been aimed at the heart of the Institution . But thanks to the brave men who lmd that day shielded it from the siusiJious attacks of those who wished to destroy it . It had been said that the Order should be without the agitators , and then the tyr . ints could do as they pleased ; but that meeting spoke in language which could not bo misunderstood . It reminded him of the immortal Byron , when he said" Methinks I hear a little bird which sings , The people by and bye will be the stronger . " The conduct of the deputies was proof that the reign of tyranny was at an end . The conduct of tlie District Officers towards them was indeed shameful . The deputies had brought forward a resolution , but the G . M .

      would not put it . The D . G . M . was then asked , if lie would put it : he answered , "Xo ! " The Secretary was then asked , when he , too , declined . The deputies theu called upon ihe O . M . to leave tlie chair and they wou : d elect sdiua one who would put it ; but he said , "you shall not , " and immediately adjourned tlie meeting until Monday , thereby putting the District to an expense of about £ 10 . He ( Mr . Vfliittaker ) was sure that tlie deputies would have the support and protection of that meeting for their noble doings . In fact , in these days of suslieiuion and despotism , it was the duty of the Order U » prottut ttfexjr man w ! io stood forward to defend their rights . They had heard the noble Bill of ltkhts read to them , which the brave men of Salford had agreed upon ,

      and lit trusted that every man would contend for the rights which that "bill" guaranteed—the right of seltgovenmient . The first blow that was struck at the best inttre-ts of the Order , was the disfranchisement of the Lodges . Since then , the ruling few had so centralist ^ their powtT that they had nearly overthrown the institution . This they could never have done if they had kept inviolable the principles of self-government . He hoped they would iwt let this golden oyportuv . ity slip without again securins- to themselves that right , inasmuch as it was the only means liy wMcli llioy could protect Uwutsclvcs . He hoped , therefore , thut they \» ould give tliu deputies that support which their conduct so justly entitled them to .

      Mr . Hiciusdsox rose for the purpose of moving an Address to the OddfeUowa of the United Kingdom ; but begged to preface his doing so by a few remarks on the suspensions , iiot to satisfy any feeling on his own account , for he did not value it on- straw , but to show on what a slender thread . heir very existence depended . The snslUHMuu ran thus : — "You ar « hereby £ u $ i > tndcd until the ISristol A . M . C , which will take place in next Whitsunweek , until which time you are deprived of all the benefits arisiiig from the Order . " And this , too , without trial ! If they referred back to history they would find no parallel for this , except in the barbarous age in which the "Star Chamber" exercised its functions , when the Court , tlie Government , or the King , could seize and imprison the subjict without bringing him to trial . The tyranny of the " Star Chamber" was such that the

      Iieop ' e rose £ x masse , and demanded the Habeas Cob-PCS Act ; which means , ILideus—to bear ; Cobpus—the body : that is , have the body , or bring it to trial with the least possible delay . Thus the pickpocket and the common thief were brought to trial in three months : even a murderer in six months . Not so with the Star Chamber of Aytonn-strcet—King Ratcl ' uTe could condemn , punish ; and that without trial . If you dare to break your allegiance with him , yon are " suspended , " and there is no trial for j-ou until the next A . ii . C , or better than nine months ; and if it should so happen that jou die before next Whitsuntide , and your wife should go for your funeral money , the answer she would receive would be " he was a suspended character , therefore there is nothing for you . " It n-. atU-rs not your being innocent . You have been prevented from being brought to trial by RatcliftVs

      Star Chamber , aud there is no appeal . This conduct was unknown to the Order until ltatclifiVs Sliding Scale was brought into existence . It was not only unknown , but it was illegal . That very day they had had a pro « f of the the very clScient manner in which the Hoard , with the C . S . at their head , conducted the business . The " suspensions" siionld hare hud the seal attached ; hut this had Leon neglected . He would ask , how were these " suspensions" accomplished ? Why , by the worst species of esjiioiiiige ; oj , in plain terms , by spies , which lltitdifij : had out : poor soulless wretches , who dared but do his bidding . They attend meetings , andcarry the news , and receive iu return the smiles of court fav « ur . He would a > k what protection h ; : d they but the law ! but that was

      trampled upon by the ofiicials . If they leolcod at the Executive , they would find it not only Executive but Legislative , nu . l Despotic ( Hear , hear , hear . ) If , therefore , they were alSowcd to continue in their present course he would say with Shylock , " Fyc upon your law ! " ' He allied upon those present to follow right steps , and , or so doing , drive the riisli-. mcst and unprincipled , who , like Vampires , were seeking the very life-blood of the In-¦ s ... uiiou , from amongst them . The very worst of " the middle class had crept in amongst them , not for the purpose of deceiving them , but that they might live upon the Order , lit us doaway with the " Tomfoolery , " ami this will cease to be the case . Mr . Richardson then read tha fallowing address , n » d moved it for the considcratiou ui ths meeting : —

      jobbers and patrons , for they are the opponents of Freedom ' . Away with them , lest the feelings that are wounaeu by their corrupt practices should prompt the tongue to express words of disapprobation and disgust . " The Order must be free , to be secure . The lives and property of its slumbers must be held sacred . But this cannot be done , unless peace and harmony prevail amongst us . To promote this object it is held that tlie principles litre subjoined should be adopted as a polar point , to guide us in our future actions : — " I . —We declare for the right of full and free represent . ntion : —that is to say , that every Lodge shall possess the right of sending a representative to all tlio general meetings of the body , without infringing any power which mav hereafter be accorded to Districts ,

      " II . —We declare , that every member slinll be deemed to be innocent , until he is proven to be guilty ; that no punishment shall be inflicted—that no fine shall be levied —that no censure shall be passed—until the accused party shall have had a fair and impartial trial , according to the usages and customs established 03 ' the Order . ' ' III . —We declare that every Lodge belonging to our Order , sliall hare the sole and uncontrolled power , in accordance with the general laws , to regulate their own affairs , and to make such financial arrangements as to them may seem most proper ; that no individual , or individuals , or any assembly of our members , shall have the power of interference . But that the right of Lodges , to the distribution of tlieir own funds , for the purposes for which we have combined together , shall be held intael and inviolate .

      " I " . —We declare for the above principles : and we pledge ourselves to maintain them inviolate ; and that they shall not , at any future period , he altered , abrogated , or annulled ; but that we will uphold them in all tlieir integrity and purity , and in their fullest acceptance . " Mr . Hakgrkaves rose for the purpose of seconding the Address just read , in order that he might tell them how different the District Officers of Salford had acted from the Manchester Officers . They had met that evening in the most friendly manner , and he had no doubt but things in that District would be amicably arranged at their next meeting . Dr . Tailor proposed the following resolution in an eloquent speech , in wiiicii lie' completely disproved the caleulationx of UatcliuVs " Sliding SeaUi . " " That a subscription be entered into for the purpose of defraying the expenses of circulating the Address throughout the country . " Jlr . KiciiAiiDSON seconded the motion , which was carried . The thanks of the meeting were then given to the lairman , and the business terminated with three hearty cheers .

      ample , business-like debate is quite out of the question t Permit me to ask , —is this constitutionall y j . . iSt ? surel ' such doings beiit not the legislative wisdom of a <•!•»¦ \ nation ? Let our legislators think on these 'tuestions a . they may , this bill comes forth mrked with a imfe , ' ,, ; concernment ; and ought to have been brought forward at an earlier period , when a full attendance of mtmb ors could have been obtained . The public mi ght then liuV 6 learned , and the ;/ have a most decided right to know what the purport of this bill is ; what the great booujsohar ptd upon by my Lord Palmerston , signifies ; and what tlio Karl of Lincoln means by providing more ampl y / or emi J right tfc « t might extet . Mr . Shannan Crawford , wii 0 Wil 3 on the committee appointed for reviewing the numerous multirious clauses of this monster bill , declares that it 13 , in fact , a bill for the landlord ' s benefit ; that the mods for distribution is most unjmt ; and that the working chjses were excluded from that share , which of right belonged to them .

      Ah ! sir , how pointedly does every session prove \ hs Charter to be the people's o » Jy hope—solid hope , I shotrFd say—the only true remedy for the manifold wrongs that is defacing British industry—defacing it with the degrading badge of slavery , and the withering bli ght oE poverty . Man's dearest right—liis right to a frecsharo iu the land—is now at stake . Let the honest labouring liritou look to his position , or all Isis rights will quickly u » ss away , and then will nothing but toil , the right to toil anil sweat , : md linger out a weary life , be left him You , Mr . Editor , have done your duty ; and the people must do theirs . The first general election must give us proof of this . They well know their wrongs ; anil Jiavo been fully taught how thosu wrongs can be removed .

      The " Central Committee for an organisation of the Trades in Union . " have given nmplo testimony to this . With cool heails and pure hearts they must in the same spirit anticipate and grapple with all unjust opposition ; aii the varied , numerous , and scheming devices that will bo set forth to annoy and distract -hi'in in tlieirgloriens course ; all the annoyance that may spring from within a . i well as from without tlliir l'lllilis : for tlicir design is too formidably just to escape undermining ns well as storming assaults . We must all rest assured that our climacteric course , can only be triumphantly tramped oat with patient fortitude ; and , when tlie day of reckoning comes , let us bring forth these registered witnesses to cruelty and wrong , in justification of our deeds .

      [ Since the foregoing was in type , wo have received the following , with an earnest request for its insertion . Tiiat vequc-t we cheerfully comply with ; anil commend it * i statements , principles , and objects to every Odd-Fellow in the lringdom . 1

      THE ADDRESS OF THE MANCHESTER DISTRICT OF THE INDErENDINT ORDER OF ODD-FELIOWS , M . U ., To the Districts , Lodges , Officers and Jirctltren of the Unit ;/ . Events pregnant with the most important and intecsting consequences have recently transpired in the Manchester District , in connection with the Order . The constitution of Oddfellowship has been violated by its government , and the liberties antl independence of its memoirs have oecn trampled upon by the Officers of the Order , in a most arbitrary , despotic , and illegal manner . Stt serious arc the results of the tyrannical conduct jlready developed , and so mischievous is the character ot ' the proceedings of the Executive of the Order prospective !} that the Manchester District , have deemed it imperatively

      necessary to bring to a crisis the questions now iu dispute . In order to do so , they have refused to recognise several acts of the G . M . and Board of Directors , as being arbitrary assumptions of power , contrary to the spirit , ; is well as the letter of our laws ; the rights of Districts , Lodges , and Members being invaded , and their constitutional independence sacrificed . When acts scuh as these emanate from the government of any society , whereby the original principles of association are suspended , compromised , or des : royed , it becomes no less the duty than the privilege of its members to resist such aggressions , aud to adopt such measures as may be necessary to secure and enforce the duo observance of those original principles , in accordance with general laws .

      The most celebrated writers on Soeial Jurisprudence admit that a time may arrive in any community when passive endurance of tyrannical rule , or non-resistance to tlie assumption of iVegalpower , becomes an olfunee against society , even more base , mean , and degrading than the crime of corrupt administration of the law is abhorrent and detestable in the sight of man . Such an epoch has but too surely occurred in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows . So ' me few who have attentively obsei ved events as they have passed for the last few years , and scrutinized with care the manoeuvres of rapacious men in power , and their attendant satellites , have full well foreseen the onwnvil tendency of mcumstmicus winch must sooner or later result , cither in the utter prostration and abandonment of our rights , —the dismemberment aud ruin of the Order , —or the healthful extirpation of the cancerous corruption which has been preying in our bosom , and ruthlessly destroying our vitality .

      For years past have the Officers of the Order , and those associated with them , sought to abstract power from individual lodifcs , and to centralize it in their own llilllds ; . Mid to a great and dungcrous extent have they succeeded . The Manchester District having tnfccn n position In accordance with the foregoing views , and feeling itself in some measure responsible for the welfare of an Order which bears its name , and which has been originated aud fostered in its bosom—has watched well the proceedings of the Executive government , whose every act and motive are known , and whose designs are ever before its memhers . In consequence of these advantages , we possess in no small degree a knowledge of the affairs oi the Order , such as members at remote distances can scarcely be expected to acquire , whose only information

      has bei-n derived through the medium of the C . S . of the Order ; the object of whom has been for a long time constantly to keep the country districts in ignorance of the real designs and covert treasons entertained by the administrative government , as regards the genera ! principles upon which tlio Order has been established . Upon these grounds , ou ;> brethren sit a distance muslhu well aware that any such movement as has occurred in so important a district as Manchester must have sufficient weight to render it worihy the attention and consideration of nil Odd FuSUnvs ; as the causes of our movement must ultimately produce , the UUu ell ' ecls upon them . The Members of the Manchester District , therefore , i ' t'ciint themselves fully justified in pursuing the course which sui'h a system involves , have determined to lav their ease

      btforu the whole Order : ami to call upon every District , Lo . S ^ e . nn . l Jlember of tlie Unity to {; ivc it ; i fair and impartial consideration . While wo implicitly rely oil the fairness of their judgment , we warn them not to estimate either our motives or our conduct by tlio misrepresentations of ihe Aytoun-stveet authorities , who , not content with llic ordinary channels or communication in the Order , have deemed it necessary to call iu the aid of a venal "London Journal" to assist them in vilifying our designs and character . On the contrary , in appealing to the Members of the Order generally , we doubt not that sve shall , at all events , receive . 1 greater ine * d of justice at their hands Hum that with which we have been treated by the G . 31 . and Hoard , uf Directors , who have coiulcmwKJ us miliovit trial , armiwmtut . or even ncciisutioii . '

      Inordcrfuliytouuderstandaiul appm-iate the position isi wliich the Members of the Order are at present placed with regard to the government , it will be neeessary partially lo review the proceedings of the Executive fur several yenrs past . Subsequently to the Isle 0 ! ' Man A . M . C , held in 1 S 41 , returns uf the amount ol ' tliu funds of the respective Ludgcs were ovdn-ed liy the G . M . and Hoard nf Directors , but which returns were generally refused , as improper and unconstitutional : and which refusal was confirmed by the sm-eeeiliiig A . M . C . held titWi- ^ sn , when it was resolved , " that llie G . M . and Hoard 0 / Director ) : were n <> t justified in sending for the returns of the amr . uist ol'Loil' -e luuds . "

      Hut as ulterior objects were in view 111 the minds o * the promoters of those returns which they found they could not attain , under the then existing stnti ! of the representation of Lodges , lh ; -y at once boldl y and recklessly determined to destroy that representation rather than be fitiled iu their own inti-i'i-stud aud sinister design ? . Accordingly , as suon as the IWitier failui'i ! w ;\ s lust si ^ ilt o < , they W : k the coi'ivt' « t MimiUe of dlffravehisivg the ImI-icsin the rcpmcnbiUznallhtsA . M . V ., knowing full well that they could not succeed in any attack on thu funds so Iim ;; as the Lodges were direetly represented . . Is * mh , however , as they ! tud d&troysd lh « representation of the Loiliet they recommended their attacks upon the funds of ths same ; and at tlie very next A . M . C . held at Glasgow , they passed the obnoxious laws which are now being resisted .

      The imjuiry into the amount of the Lodge Funds was not only vexatious and unnecessary , but exceeded the power deputed to thi-m by ihe ' - 'Gth resolution of tlie Newcastle A . M . C ; which resolution authorised the G . M , and ]> o : ird of Directors " to call for all iiiiVrination necessary for the purpose of ast-ei tuinir . g tlie fi-MvekO condition of the Order in such form ns to them might scum most convenient fur dattifie-dion . " The manner in which this has been done , is even more objectionable than ilio u > a : tcr . Upon n most v : ig :: e and indefinite rest-luti' . i !! .

      the introduction of the new financial regulations , made by ttw kte A .. M . C , the Mcmlwvs of Uw'j Dvstvitt deemed it necessary to consult and advise together generally , and vailed a meeting lor that purpose ; upon which as a climax to the reckless disregard of the rights of Lodges , and oi the genuine principles of the Older , the parties promoting that meeting were at once most arbitrarily and illegally suspended by the G . M . and Hoard of Directors , who thus assume a power hitherto unknown in the Order , and as coutrarv to its principles , as to those of reason , justice , and

      consistency . On the 30 th of June the Quarterly District Committee was held , when two of the suspended individuals attended as deputies , and ns such they were required by the G . M . of the District to withdraw . Upon which the Committee , considering their suspension entirely illegal , and contrary to every principle of the Order ; and also considering that to recognize such unprecedented power and acts as inherent in the executive authorities , would be to consent to a virtual destruction of every right of private or individual judgment , and to the annihilation of the independence of ' Lodges , the Committee , therefore , almost unanimously determined that such deputies should be allowed to sit , and that their suspension should not bu recognised .

      And now , as if to justify the ancient maxim that " whom the gods mean to destroy , they first drive mad , " the G . M . and Board of Directors immediately proceeded to suspend the whole of thu Manchester District . No warning is given , no remonstrance is made , no attempt to convince , no conciliation ottered , no justification of their own measures propounded , but reckless of all future consequences , they pronounce a sentence of condemnation upon ten thousand members without conviction , trial , or hearing . This bang the position to which the Manchester District has been reduced , let us look for a moment to the nature and consequences of the exorcise , of such powei ns that by wliich we are now suspended . If the G . M . and

      Hoard of Directors be permitted , contrary to all law , to exercise the unconstitutional power of suspending one or more members without trial , then the same power , m a necessary consequence , may be extended to Lodges , and to Districts also ; as , indeed , it has been with regard to the Manchester and Salford Districts at the present momoilt . ILeueo , then , to judge from the Indiscretion anil rashness of their recent proceedings , we know not how soon we may be called upon to view those onmipotentgentlemen committing the further anomalous absurdity of suspending every other District , Lodge , and Member in the Unity ! And , as in theirjudgincutnopenallawof the Order can , by possibility , attach to themselves , then , as a matter of course , they , only , would constitute the . Independent Order of Odd Fellows .

      That the laws of the Order do not contemplate—even by the remotest possibility—an event so atrocious as this , is demonstrable by tlieir very letter ; v \ ul s \ uvit ; consequently , any act having u tendency towards the like nrbtti ' ury uisincmbormuut of the whole 01 1 any pavt of thu body , is an offence against our Society , so deep and flagitious , us to call forth the inostdctermined and united resistance , by all those who love the Order , and respect its rijjli ts and privileges . It is with feelings of ? he deepest regret that we have been compelled to assume the position in which we are now placed . ' It is with unfeigned sorrow that we contemplate the danger of a severance of that tie which bound us to the Unity ; and thus to lessen , by any means , tlie moral Offcet of our philunlhvcmie Institution . But

      deeply as we must deplore such an event , yet the stern call of duty demands the sacrifice . We received our liberties , as a sacred deposit , from our predecessors , and we are bound , by every tie of honour and justice to bequeath them in their unsullied purity to our successors . Harassed by a course of unrelenting persecution , daily seeing the most rigorous and unconstitutional measures carried into effect , our members , cut off from the Unity without trial , or even accusation , but merely at the despotic will of the Executive ; and having tins atrocious doctrine laid down to us by the Hoard , ( to ihnj wen superior to the lew , there remained nothing- for us but to suffer in hopeless slavery , or to assert those rights recognised by our laws . To use the language of the Directors themselves— " When the laws of the Order cesise to be operative for redress or punishment , the days of the Institution will be numbered , "that time had arrived , when , although punishment was inflicted with a severity , and a reckless disregard of jus-1

      tice , nuvcibefore witnessed , yet we were taught by our daily experience that redress was hopeless . Suffering thus under the stern exercise of despotic power , our liberties tampered with , and our laws set at nought , who shall blame us , if , strong in the conscious justice of our cause , we arise to vindicate our independence , and to claim our rights as freemen . And in thus acting , we are led by no motives of opposition—we erect no standard of revoltbut determined to maintain our own rights , while we seek not to infringe upon those of others ; we confidently look for sympathy and support from all who are determined to uphold the true and pure princip es of Oddfellowshif , Aud yet let us liujic that the time maj arrive , when the rulers of the Order will see the necessity of adopting a more liberal and wise system of policy ; and then , with our rights acknowledged , and our liberties securtf ! , we may again fraternise with the brethren , and join with them in endeavouring to carry out , to the fullest extent , the principles of l'hilantliropy and Charity .

      It is a lamentable fact that , latterly , tlio fixed principles recognising our rights , aud sccurinjt the liberties of our members , have been liable to be destroyed by the capricious legislation of Uie moment . It is necessary that society should be based upon fixed and inunutsibW principles , by which the landmarks of our liberty should be clearly distinguished ; and in our code of legislation thosu principles should be constantly kept in view . We therefore declare , 1 st . —1 ' or Ihe right of full and free representationthat is to say , that every Lodge shall have the power ol sending a representative to all general meetings of oui body , without infringing any right now or hcremier to bu possessed by Districts .

      2 nd . —For tlie right of Trial by Jury , the palladium of our liberties ; that every man shall be deemed to be innocent until he shall have been proved to be guilty by a legal and competent tribunal ; and that in no case shall any punishment be inflicted , uuloss it shall be proved that a definite law of thu Order has been broken . 3 rd . —For tho power of seKgoveriiinont , that every Lodge sliali have the sole ami uncontrolled power , in accordance with the gc-ucrni Jaws , to inaKc SUCll financial arrangements as to tlwm may seem most proper ; subject only to the control of prufusu or extravagant expenditure , or tu tlie application of their funds for improper purposes j and thut the right of Lodges to ' I he distribution of their funtls , far the purposes for which we have combined together , shall be held intact and inviolate .

      lhese privileges we hold as the chartered lights of our brethren , individually uud collectivel y—weprocliihn them as the fixed ami innni . tablu principles ol Justice , .-. nd we IWiUno-Al-ri RC them to bi > Ihe sacred and indefensible rights of our members . We , then , fore , pledge ourselves to keep these principles inviolate , and that they shall not at any future period be altered , abrogated , or " annulled ; Iwt U «\ t we will r . phoM them in alf their integrity and purity , and in their fullest acceptance , and as being ot paramount importance to thu well-being of our Society , we are resolved to maintain them without regard to interested opposition , or to the alternative of our finsii separation from an Order so scandalously and tyrannically misgoverned .

      aueli are thu x > rinciplus upon wliich WC WOllld SCCtll'e our link-pi . ndunco and guarantee thu full possession of their rights and liberties to all who join our cause . We proclaim them as the basis of our rights , which , when once secured , will emilile us the better to grapple with the remainder of the abuses which have disgraced the Order : and amidst which , the trailing system stands forth in bad prc-siniueiu'c : fostering the means of patronage , and mixing up with our holy aim of Charity , the vile spirit of Mauunuii ! It is the " Auhan , " thu accursed thing , and must be rooicd out from amongst us . It is to this that we may attribute many of the evils which have befallen us , it has raised Uj > a selfish aud interested class , ready on all occasions to aide with the ruling powers ; ar . d to the Order at large must he attributed the blame that it lias allowed : i system to exist wliich lias placed the priuti . ilcs of its members in opposition t . ) their sell-interest .

      It is ihu tlesivo of thu Manchester District to unite in one common bond of" Unity , l ' ciice , and Hrothcriy Love , " all those who wish to free the Order from Tyranny ami Corruption , and to restore to it the pure pi iuciplcs of Kijuality . j .

      I III N B . —Wo are perfectly aware that a most unfair attempt will be made to suppress this document , by ordering it not to be read in Lodges ; but we trust that when the several Members of the Order reflect , that as the in-FOnMVTION CONTAINED THEREIN IS 11 EALLV OF VITAL 1 J 1 F 0 R . tanceto themselves , they will not be ledaway blindly from a due consideration of the subject , by any individual whatever ; especially those who have a large pecuniary interest in the Members of the Order being kept in utter ignorance of their arbitrary and illegal designs and practices . Communications from those Districts , Lodges , or members , who concur with the sentiments expressed in this Address , are respectfully solicited , with the assurance that their assistance and co-operation on our and tlieir own behalf , will be gladly received , and their suggestions carefully attended to : and also any further information or assistance required , for carrying out the objects oi this Address , will be promptly afforded .

      RESOIiUTIONS . At o General Mcei' mp of ihe Manchester District , called ty the Board of Management , and held at the Corn Exchange , July 5 tt , 1810 . J . It . White , Esq ., V . G . M ., in the Cium , The following Kesolutions were passed unanimously : — 1 . — " That this meeting views with profound regret the adoption of measures by the Glasgow A . M . C , which are in themselves unjust , unnecessary , and oppressive tunneled on false data , and inapplicable statical returns , which while materially reducing the Funeral Donations , iiiiniliihite the very name of Widow '— spurn the 1 Orphan 1 —and put aside 'Charity , ' hitherto deemed to be the brightest gem of the Order ; nndyet , notwithstanding calling for largely increased contributions from the members , for no other purpose than to place an enormous amount of rapidity accumulating capi al , ultimately , under the control of the Officers of the Order , for the exclusive patronage of themselves and their Satellites . "

      2 . — " That this meeting has heard with astonishment aud indignation , that the G . M . and Hoard of Directors have despotically and illegally suspended the Jlaneliesti-r District , without trial , and without even a charge of oflenee , thereby making an attack 01 ) the rights and privileges of the several members of the Order , which it is the bounden duty of all , for mutual and individual preservation , uncompromisingly to resist and put down . " 3 . — " That the lloinls of the Order are— " Unity , Peace , and Brotherly Love ; " its Laws recognising no difference ur superiority in religion , politics , or wealth ; being cimal and just to all , governing precisely alike the highest Officers sind the youngest llrcthren , and acknowledging no pre-eminence , except such as may be attained b y intellect and moral virtue . Its perfect equality of rights and of privileges eovistftutes its unity—a « d its -unity is its strength . "

      i . — "Finding by present experience that the assumption uf uncontrolled power by ambitious and unscnipu-Iouk men leads to the destruction of our Liberties and the ruin of our Order , this meeting declares that it is essential to the well-bBing of all , that Justice should be dealt out with impartiality to each , that every one should be deemed innocent until ha sliall have been proved Guilty by a competent Tribunal , and that punishment shall in no ease bo inflicted unless it shall have beim there proved that a detinite Law of the Order has been broken . " 5 . — " That to the full development of the vast energies of an immense and benevolent Society , as well as to curb Tyranny and alibrd protection from peculation of funds or abuse of power , each Lodge should be severally represented at the A . M . C , as was the practice of the Order up to the A . M . C . held at Newcastle-upon-Tyne . "

      G . — "lhat after the despotic course pursued by the G . M . and Hoard of Directors , a course in direct opposition to the Liiwsof the Order , unil contrary to all . principles ofJustiw mid Equity , » ni \ conscious that no redress will be afforded under the present administration , this meeting , therefore , declares that they have lost all confidence in the pro ; ent Officers and Executive of the Order , and that we immediately proceed to organise ourselves and carry out in their fullest extent the true principles of Oddfellowship . " Mr . White having left the Chair , it was taken by Mr . Ja'iies linkc , when it was proposed and carried by aecluuiittitm

      " rimt the be . jt thanks of tlm meeting are due , and hereby given , to 1 \ G . M .
