THE RED
,MEN'S CELEBRATION
urhe EXereises at -the chestnut. Street
:shafting Mutt,.
A. large audience was assembled at the Rink,
and when the members of the Order who had
participated in the parade had gathered within
the building, the assemblage was called to order.
The proceedings were then 'opened
prayer. -
M. IL Gorham, Esq., of Philadelphia, delivered
an address of welcome to the visiting brethren.
William EL Barton, Esq., of Trenton, N. J.,
the orator of the day, was then introduced. He
commenced his address by saying that he could
not find words adequate to exprtss the emotions
of joy and gratitude whielfgrthis occasion
awakened m his heart, and he could not bat feel
that the hearts of his hearers were also moved by
this demonstration in commemoration of a day
sacred in the history of the Order of Red Men.
"The scenes which surround us to-day,"
said the sneaker, "the recollections of
the hour and the object which have called us
together,wlli all have a tendency to create in oar
hearts new aspirations, and give us a higher idea
of our duty. We shall lose nothing by thus as
sembling, lf we rightly appreciate the advantages
arising from the occasion. Idle curiosity may
have brought a few here, while the many -have
been indpced to come through a sense.oDziuty, '
and to per form a service they feel they owe to
the Order. Encouragement is what we
need from the world—it is our duty to court that
encouragement in the same spirit in which we
expect or desire to have It given. Let the teach
,
Inge we have received within the walls of our
respective council rooms direct us in the dis
charge of every duty imposed upon us, that we
may thereby show to the world that there is
some virtue in the principles Witch underlie our
beloved Order, and which we have pledged our
selves to protect and practice. Thus living and
thus acting, we shall reflect credit upon our Or
der, and make for ourselves names of which
neither we nor our posterity will be ashamed."
The opposition to secret societies was alluded
to by the orator, who said that it is through the
agency of such societies that we learn the wants
and condition of our fellows better, and get a
better knowledge of their rights. Secret societies,
while they are not religious in their character and
purpose, do exert a Christian influence upon
their membersand the world. They do not claim
directly to he the handmaids of Christianity, yet
indirectly they are—for they do elevate the con
dition of mankind,and give to their members and
followers a broader idea of their duty toward one
another, and to their God; and whatever does
this, bus in it the elements of Christianity. Bring
together the members of all charitable secret so
cieties, no matter by what names they may be
called, and they will exhibit a loftier standard of
virtue, a purer code of morals, a higher sense of
justice and humanity,than any other class of men
that exists upon the face of the earth.
The custom of celebrating anniversaries is as
old as time itself. Every society has some day
or days in its history,to which its members point
with pride, and love to commemorate and keep
sacred. It is because there is one day in the his
tory of the Order of Red Men that they love to
keep sacred and commemorate, and that, this
very day, that they have assembled, not only
here, but wherever there has been a an altar
erected in the name of the Order and enshrined
with the holy principles of Freedom, Friendship,
and Charity.
The orator then entered inVo a history of the
Order. He said:
All the evidence that can be gathered touching its
origin. points to Fort Mifflin, on the Delaware river, as
the place where the first society was organized, and 1813
as the gear In which the filet Council lire was kindled.
To one not acquainted wi h the condition of affairs during
those eventfulyeam in our country's [history, viz.. 1812,
1813 and 1814, it may seem strange that the entente itioa
of a secret society among the soldiers in the Fort should
have been thougat of or need el, None but soldiers were
admitted as members; it was intended for their benefit
only, civilians exorcised no ,control over it, ,and were
in no wise connected with it The question naturally
arises, why was this society orgauized, or in
other werde, what was the motive which prompted its
organization f It will be remembered by some, that
during this period In our country's territory , there were
two partms— the war party, and the anti-war party. Be'
tweet' these two factions there had arisen a bitter ani
mosity, which spread itself in such a manner tut to cause
a good deal of alarm. It found its way in the fort, and
soon began to disseminate its demoralizing influence
among the soldiers. In this it was successfuL the
same spirit of hatred, strife and &street which had em
bittered the declines of the two conflicting factious
outside, soon began to manifest itself among the soldiers.
lairtain James H. Barker. who was commandant of the
fort, and Lieutenant Williams, viewing with apprehen
sion and fear the threatening consequence of the powers
at work among the soldier's to heir country and its free
institutions, and rising above the machinations of party
to the true level of patriotism, proposed and effected
among the soldiers the organization .f the society before
referred to. and fortified it by signs, grips and passwords,
the object of which was to dispel discord and disseminate
friendship. 'I heir efforts were attended with the hap
piest results, for in a very short lime after the organize
Lion was completed. a marked change was visible in the
tone and temper of the garrison. The principles which
this society Inculcated were such as to carry conviction
to their besets, remove from their minds the feelings of
angry passions, give Mans a loftier idea-of their duty, re
vive their love tor country, rekindle in their hearts the
fire of patriotism, and bring about kindness and good fel•
lewship, and render a divided garrison a unit for the Re
public. • • • o • • • •
My Brother Red Men, you may feel proud of the origin
of your Order. It is American in its origin, in its teach-
Inge,
-
ita objects and its purposes. The members of other
charitable organize - ions may boast of their ability to
trace their origin away back in the past, and glory in the
idea of being able to associate them with the master
spirits of long past ages ;but I ask what is all their blast
ing compared n ith the knowledge brought home to us
that our Order bed its origin in Amor lea, that patriotism
ga v e it Regret invaded, and that it was reared up under
the blessed influencea of free in.titutiono, and that Its
first votaries were those IA h(7"iCollllted it theirgreatest
glory to be found battling in the sacred cause of freedom
and for the rights rf man.
At the close of the war, the society in the Fort was
neceesCly abandoned , its original object having ceased
and th volunteers' being compelled to separate and re
turn to ell' homes. But the principles inculcated by that
eociety had modes lasting impression upon their heart.,
and they found after they had resumed the peaceful pur.
suite of life that they could not resist the charms of asso
ciation' which seemed to have complete control over
them. They determined. or at least many of them did,
to e ff ect the re-organization of the society based
upon the pure principles of friendship.
Accordingly, some time during the year
1817, a call was inserted in one or more of the
newspapers of Philadelphia for a council of Red
Men,which resulted In the organization of what was sub
sequently known as the Tribe of Columbia. of the society
of Red hien of Pennsylvania. But subsequently. owing
to a corroding element which was introduced into the
society, the 'I rtbe of Columbia and also the branch tribes
generally throughout the several States, lost their power
for good. A. certain document which has come into
the possession of pro einent members of the Order
furnishes evidence of the tact. This document
bears date April 14th, tB2l but the decline of
these societies did not take place until seine
time subsequent to that date. The Iribs of Col midi"
need have bet n regarded as the first regular society of
Red Men, sod ae having full authority ae such, to give a
grant of power, because from the anginal manuscript
petltsonof Mil Birch Tree. Never We'ar's Son, bearing
date the lath Moon, 1825, for recognition of the Mother
Tnbe in Philadelphia, we learn teat the Benevolent
Tribe of Nassau, in the village of Brooklyn, island of
Nanette, and State of Now 's orb, which had been pre
viously organized- asked to be recognized, and.received a
grant of power from the Tribe of uolembra.
It is &difficult matter to give . true history of the Order,
as the records of some of the societies have never been
found. and those that hsve been found are very incom•
plete and indefinite. It may he possible that regular
societies of Red Men existed prior to 1813, but as there is
no evidtrioe to cetahlelt trim theory, we must conclude
from the facts already given, that 1813 is the
Year in
which the first regular it cinty was organized. And it
may be possible,too,thet regular societies existed between
Mg and 1817; but as there is no evidence to
establish this therry either, ere must conclude from the
documents In our possession that the Trine of Columbia
was the find resular societ.!, 01 Red Men organized after ,
the diebandonmont of the volunteers at Von
After 1817 societies were organized in New Jersey, Mary
land, Delaware and New York. Hut these societies
appear to have had no connection with e %eh other. They
had their own governments arid prosecuted their good
work In accordance with their own rules, Of the dstes
of the organization of these sociersos 1 do not intend to
speak, because I could not do it with any degree of satis
faction to you or myself. It is epough to know that they
existed, and that they all do wed from the same oriental
ouutain head—the Tribe cri Columbia at Philadelphia
May 20th. 1835, 1, the date which marks ri new era in
the history of the Urdu . It was then placed liven re
prieer footing. A , omplete organization eves Mieeted.
This was brought about by a meeting of tire Pant Chie f s
and representatives selected for that purpose. who con.
coned In the old Wigwam on Thames street, Fell's Point,
Baltimore. The names of the Past CL refs present at this
Convention were Wm. T. Jones, or Seaman's Friend,
illiam Mein] cad. or iiospilatity ; Charles Skillman,
or Camel's Bair. The name. of the Representatives were
Geo. A. Peter, or Link W Untorli who was still a member
of the Order in 186 d, but whether ho is living now
or not 1 sin unable to say . Captain James Branson, or
ibek of the Walk; end ad ware Lucas, or True Verdict.
At this meeting the Grand Council of Maryland and of
the United States were completely organized and the
hitherto Society of Red Men was announced to the world
as the Improved Order of Red Men. The first chiefs
chosen by the Grand Council were Grand Sachem, Sea
'man's Friend; Grand Senior dagamore. lioerttalituV
Grand Junior bag.amore, Tries l'erthet Grand Chief of
Records, Link o/ Union; Grand Chid of Wampum, True

was now entirely shorn of its political character; mill.

without regard to, or apparent k eowled to of, the exist

into the soul, true when the would would applaud for
being falee, and every worldly interest should seem to
offer a price for cowardice, la the proudest and gut:dimwit
of all human virtuee. • Such is the bravery you have
displayed. You have shrunk from no task however dif
ficult, no duty however severe, no sacrifice however
hard, and no labors however confining, to make the
order a blessing to mankind and a powerful agency for
good in the world. In speaking thus of my Brethren of
Pennylvania, Fdo - not wish it understood that It le my
desire to detrital. One Jot from my Brethren elsewhere.
All deserve praise, all are entitled to ft, and I am glad to
bear testimony to the fact, before this large toed
gftt audience, who l earmon and good will prevail
throughout the Order. which now extends from
ocean to ocean, and from the gulf to the lakes, and that
the members everywhere are working with a zeal and
ealneotness which bespeaks for the Order a bright and
glotious future.
We have met to celebrate Tammany's Day—to do honor
to the memory of ono of America's noblest chieftains.
Thatcher ',aye, in speakingof Tammany "He was a
mighty warrior , an accompl i] hed statesman and a pure
and high.minded patriot." In private life he was still
more distinguished for his virtues, than in public for his
talents. And Drake. in his history and biography of the
North American Indians, speaking of him, says: The
fame of this great man extended even among the
whites. who fabricated numerous legends 'concerning
him. In the Revolutionary war hie enthusiastic admirers
dubbed him a saint, and ho was establhhed under the
name of Baird Tammany, the Patron saint of America.
Our early Red Men loved Tammany because of his
manly virtues. Around him they could gather with
pride, and from him could receive cheering words and
kind advice Their greatest Measure was to do him
honor and manifest for him their deep interest in his
welfare. They would sacrifice their own comfort to
gratify him, and regard no trial too severe to promote his
happiness. Our desire to link the respect and esteem
we entertain for Tammany with the respect and esteem
our early Red Mon entertained for him is this day made
manifest. The virtues which adorned his private life we
have endeavored to make oar own ; have embodied them
in the ) itual of our Order, and with them as oar shield
and defence, have gone out into the world to battle
against crime and enforce the beautiful and sublime
doctrine those virtues inculcateicnamely : charity of
judgment and thought toward all mon.
My Friends and Brothers, reflect it you will, and toll me
if you can-could we have met together to-day for a
higher object than the one which now claims our atten•
Bon? To promulgate the principles of true benevolence
and charity among men is the highest day we can per
form. This whit' do hat war cannot do, for war, in it••
best estate affd grandest achievements, is waste, and
must so be regarded whenever man shall attain to a re
cognition of a true and united manhood. But the prin
ciples of benevolence and charity operate differently. It
is their province to subdue 'he passions of men • lift them
up out of their low estate and clothe them in t hee beauti•
ful garments of dignity and honor ; to harmonize the con•
dieting opinions of men; to trample tinder foot all kinds
of wrong and oppression; to beautify and adorn our com
mon Datum a. to strew our pathway through life with the
graceful memorials of kind actions perform to un spea kable
all our efforts to benefit mankind with joy
and full re glory, and in boo us with the graces of Chris
tian culture, to erect palaces where art and science and
learning may ass imble, and to establish cities whose
very bells may chime their perpetual praises.
The orator closed his address as follows:
"My Brother Red Men, our Order is destined to become
the most potverful one in the land. It dose not claim any
superiority over other Orders, yet it possesses those
elements which make it progressive in its character.
Being purely American in its origin, it strives to p:ousul
gate the principles of Freedon),P riondship and Charity,-
the three groat principles upon which the corner-stone of
liberty rests. Its teachings and its ceremonies are Ameri

Men who made the forest their home. They drew all
their lessons from nature's school and so do we,-because
we believe we can find is that school, those custom] and
ceremonies which are best adapted to
simple life. There is a great future
betore this country, and we, as Red MOU, having linked
ours[ Ives with our/country's institutions, have now, and
Will have in time yet to come, an ctivo part to perform
in all that is being done and shall be done to adva 'cc

liter attire, are yet to be made. In all these, we shall
take en active pert, eltlpw directly or Indirectly. Who
could wish for greater opportunities than those which
are now offered to us? Who could desire to live in a
more glorious age than the ono In which we now live? Our
gee are without number, our dirties important, and
rceponibilities groat. Let us labor earnestly, that the
doctrines our Order teaches may be more univer.

dhcord hushed, its wrongs trampled io the dust, and its
glory hastened on. Let us this day renew our
'owe, and conserrate ourselves anew to the work before
us. Let cc make thi. day a sacred one in the history of our
'der, one to which we moo point with pride, and one
which we may always regard as the beginning of a new

THE MOST REMARKABLE CURE KNOWN TO MEDI
CAL SCIENCE.
This may certify that about (our rears ,Ago I was at
tacked with what seemed s very obscure affliction. I
felt not really sick, but continually suffered of a general
uneasiness and peculiar pains in my legs. After suffering
in this way for soy°, al months. Forest commenced to break
out, and soon not less than fourteen unhealthy ulcers were
established, and their scrofulous character fully shown.
Every one said (including several physicians) that this
was the worst cant of Scrofula they over saw, and my
chances for recovery were regarded as very poor. lam
sure nothing 1 used did roe any good. 1 spent all the
money I could raise with doctors and for patent medi
cines, but was not in the least benefited. I was, about
a year ago, Induced to use the ZINGARI BITTERS, and
was con pletely cured by less than four bottles. Anyone
who may be Incredulous can see me at the Iron City
liotel,corner of Walnut and Railroad stream, Harrisburg,
and see the scars for themselves. Ido not believe that a
more wonderful tr , re of thl. monstrous disease was ever
effected by any medicine, and I confidently believe that
almost every case of this complaint will yield to this
ostrardinary preparation. Dly general health is now
excellent, and my appetite regillilrly good. I meat h ave
died but for your ZINGAILI BITTERS._ . _
