are at all times admitted into regular Asso-
Citations as visitors. These junior Associ-

rules and observances of the Order, their
President must also be member of some
senior Association. By an article Of the
fundamental law, the religious and political
opinions of every brother may be enjoyed

can be nothing which interferes with the
most perfect liberty of thought or action
on those subjects


The undersigned have felt no hesitation
in laying before you, and commenting up
on the excelencies and beauties of this in

with their suggestions, and they embraced

their utility, and desire to unite them

animation of it's principles, convinced that
if investigated, their intrinsic value will so
commend them to your affections that they
will be adopted throughout the land; and
that Temperance, Friendship, and Love"
will become the motto of every Washing
tonan, as i. is of your friends and fellow
laborsrs in the cause,
