Lodge in regar to the address delivered
by me, on April 2^'b. last, on the occasion of
the flfly-seeonu Anniversary of Odd Fellowship

passed, end, hereby through you, return
my thanks to the members, tor their appreciation
of an effort of which 1 waa not eery
anguine.
The address itself, I consider the property
of the LoJgo ; In hastily preparing the same,
1 believed it only intended for (lie fjodgc Room.
You will not. consider ine vain when I sta'c,
(lint had I imagined the cotiicniplmed publication,
1 should have taken more pains to avoid f
the criticism of the public, who cannot understand
in fraternal iii'ercouMclli?'fceliiig, that
anything which is sVtcToruone by one of Its
members, must necessarily be appreciated by
the oultide uorld.
I, at all limes, consider the will of the Lodge
iny pleasure, and am ever ready to labor for
its promotion. If (he Lodge considers that
the publication of I lie address "will advance
much the interest of our noble Order," I herewith
(although dissenting trum you on that
point) submit I lie address to your disposition.
Yours in F. L. and T ,

N. G. AND UllETHRIlEN,
Agreeable to a circular emanating frotn
the It. \V. Grand Lodge of I. O. O. I'\, ol
the I). S., recommending to all subordinate
Lodges of the Ordor, under its jurisdiction,
to observe the 20th day of April, the An*
niversary day of Odd Fellowship, as a day
ul thanksgiving; and whereas the N. G.
of Morgan Lodge received a copy of the
name, certified arid endotsed by the G. L
of 8 (.' , it was unanimously
Rest'hud : That Morgan Lodge act upon
the recommendation and observe the
day. Through partiality ruthcr than any
opinion ol my ability, the good brcthcrcn se
leeted inc to deliver an uddrciS on this
occasion Whi'st 1 uppreciutu the honor
thus conferred upon me, I also Kel my
utter i until lily to present properly the. object
for winch we have met.
On the 20th day of April 1819, fiftytwo
years ago, Odd Fellowship ot luincd a
permanent. establishment on the Western
Continent, and Washington Lodge No. 1,
of Baltimore c ty, in the State ol Maryland,
was instituted. Lodges of Odd Follows
had lor several years previous been in existence
in this country, hut they were lacking
in the important el incut of stability.
Tlicy were regularly instituted Lodges, and
were iounded by Immigrants from the
^Jothcr Country, flourishing for several
years, and then gave up the ghost. The
npedit of firmly establishing Odd Fellowship
in America, belongs to Brolhcis Wil
tloy, Welch, Duncan, Clieathaui and l.ush
worth, who, in an upper room at a Tavern,
called the Seven Stars, in Baltimore
city, sowed the seed.
i As the 2Gth day of April has been recog
nized and commemorated by the brotherhood
of the U. S., we should regard the
day with grateful remembrance, and join
the great fraternity in celebr.itiin/ the. duv
* o ~~ *V
ol the annals ol our renown.
Oild Fellowship has established n reputation
to which we can point with pride.
Let us consider, that but filty-two years
ago, five men, without name or influence,
lounded the first Lodge under circuin
stances not easily poriruycd.
Filly-two years ago this country was
not us enlightened nor the mosses as intelligent
as today. Fifty-two years ago
that small hut noble band, instituting for
posterity a Society Grand and Glorious?
transplanting the principles of "Friendship,
Love and Truth" Irorn the Mothpr to this,
thtir adopted country. Can you imagine
these exalted virtues, the object to extend
tlicm among men to be misunderstood by
prejudice and superstition, and ccnlounded
with witchcraft and aatuuic influence ?'
and in it nt all wondrous then, that the
Lodges formed provious to Washington
Lodge should have failed and given up in
despair ?
l'lnce yourself in imagination in that
upper room in the tavern of Baltimore, of
over half a century ago. Do Jou see a
large concourse ot the rich, and influential
of Bultimorc city, lidcning to an appeal
presented by a fashionable and leading
member ol their circle, in behalf of the
great human family, pleading for the alleviation
ol Buffering mankind, to watch by
-i -
111u uuusuic oi a poor sic* i^rotncr, or to |
succor tlio widow and the orphan? No!
You see fire men?with no grand Regalias
or other Paraphernalia which distinguish
rightly, Podges of to-day?no fine and costly
Library from which they cull the principles
of an Order tbey arc about to establish,
their only Book, the gieatcst of volumes?the
Bible, and with that guide, they
determine to spicad the good work, setting
aside all difficulties, never tircing, or mind
iul of the foe who ignorantly assails them,
battling against all opposition with undaunted
persevcranco, succeed with tho
good cause, where others before them
have failed, and lay tho corner-stone of
Odd Fellowship in this country. The
very name thoy gave to their I^odge had
a talistnanic effect to nerve them to accomplish
a work, the grandeur of which wo
have couie together this evening tc commemorate,
and to give thnnks to the Great
Benevolent Being for IBs Blessing upon
that little band of obscure Immigrants.
From that Lodgo formed in 1819, up to
1871, a period of fifty-two years, nearly
4,000 Lodges, in active Working order,
have been established, with about 300,000
member* piicndinir n?op rim \V'.
? , o ....... *,ov?. ..
Continent. and in part of Australia, all under
the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge ofi
the II. S.
What other Society can boast of a proud
cr or better Record 7 and how well is the
assertion illustrated that 0110 Law shall
hind all Nations, and that Law, the haw
of universal brotherhood. Is it not wonderful
that from such a small beginning,
and in such a $hort space of time, a mighty
giant should spring up, whose influence
and teachings bear fruit and prevail over
all the country.
From the Grand Secretary's report we
gain the following information ; The number
of Brothers relieved in the year 1870,
were twenty-five thousand and nineteen,
widowed families three thousand and scvcntyvbx.
The amount paid lor the relief
of Brothers 3579,013 81 ; for widowed fain
ilies fil22.043.C5. Amount paid lor educating
orphuns, 310,444.10. Total uuiount
S859,9UG 86. Besides these figures there is
no douht that there arc hundreds of eases
of Benevolence and Charity ol a private
character by Brothers of tins Order.
From these statistics we submit our
principles to the utmost scrutiny, and hold
t hem up to the ligl'.t of day to dissipate the
idle notions which the loos of Odd Fellow,
ship entertain, and they must admit that
i's report is pood and learn to respect the
Order.
It behooves us then this evening to remember
grutclully that little Baltimore
Bund, ana most deservingly amongst them,
Futhcr Thos Wi'dcy. Ho was born in
the city of London on the 15th Huv of
January 1783, in tlie reign of George 111
and at tfa close of the Revolutionary War.
At five years of age lie was placed at
School, which ho attended, until, he was
fourteen years old, hut received a very
limited education In the year 1804, he
was initiated into Lodge No. 17 of the
Order of Odd Follows, in the city of-Lcrtdon,
in which, he served in every capacity,
Iroiu the humblest to the highest Office,
and was distinguished for his zeal and
energy. Ou the 3d day of July 1817 he
cniharLed for Amcticu, ant} reached liultiuiorc
city, on tho 2d day of September
following.
lie made the acrpjiantanec of John Welch,
a fellow countryman, who also was an Odd
Fellow. They discussed the plan of introducing
the Order into this country?after
various unsuccessful efforts to increase
their members to the required five. Finally
by repeated advertising they reached the
desired result, and on the 20th day of
April 1819, Washington Lodge,.- No. 1
was formed with Thos. Wildcy us N. G.
llow ho was justly honored by the
Brotherhood in after years, as well as tlie
erection of a Monument over his grave af?
tor his death, ore matters familiar to every
Odd Fellow. In the year 1840, Odd Fellowship
wu8 introduced into the State of
South Curolinn, by forming South Car.
olina Lodge No. 1, of Charleston, and to
its honor", bo it said, is still one of the I
largest Lodges in tho Stato, and has
amongst its members some of the best nnd
most influential men in the city. In May,
1849, tho Order was introduced into the
Town of Spartanburg, and Morgan Lodge,
No. 19, was founded. Tins Lodge has great
cause this evening for thanksgiving and
rejoicing. Many are tha vicissitudes and
| trials our beloved Lodge has experienced!
and to find it to night still, in notive o|>cr
nlion ought to swell our hearts with grat?
ittide, atid particularly tho hearts of tfafl
veteran members sitting with us, who leivfl
seen its very dawn, and were its foundefl
?who hare guided it through its in fan J
on to its glory, and steered it safely t lining?
the stormy days, when its star bucurnl
di'n. Theto veteians clung to theit|
i * imi jjovp, ana wncn tlie youtigejf
members were absent from home, with unH
I wearied energy worked on, saved the ch?M
I ter and kept the old ship afloat. 9
In 1865, probably the darkest hoi*J
this Lodge Huh over seen, when scarcely \J
member had current money to contribute
towards the support of the Lodge, when for
that want, more than hall of the Lodges in
this State forfeited their charters, how ap(
ly the handful of faithful ones of Morgan
Lodge illustrated that H'Aen there is a will,
there, is a icat/, and prominent amongst that
haiidtull, the faithful of the faithful, who
like the Founder of Odd Fellowship served
his Lodge and the Order in every caj
pacity with equal Zeal and energy, never
failed (although G. M. of the State, still
j served Lis Lodge as Sec'y) to make his
reports to the Ginnd Lodge of this State,,
whether thcro were fuuds in the Treasury
| or not, at personnl inconvenience advanced
the require! sum, to keep up tho honor of
Morgau Lodgo.
Suoh genuine prisoiples, and Lovo for'
| the Order, deserve to be inscribed on the
records in letters of gold, on this the day
of celebrating the greatness of our Order.
j. wice lias Morgan .Lodge been honored,
by selecting the saino Member, to fill the
highest Office of the order, and too, at a,
time, when it required a Head, a Heart
and a Hand, to prevent the Ship, with tattered
sails and in leaking condition from
shipwreck. Like a good Captain ho kepi <
it afloat, trimmed tha-sails, inspired Odd
Fellowship, aod with flying colors surrendered
it to his Successor, with tho word
"Onward" written on its lianncr. To day
Phaouix like, the Order in this State has
risen from its ashes, and Morgan Lodge
bides fair to become one of tho first Lodges
in the State, and i s name, like
that, of the glorious Hero and Patrio^H'
the Puttie ol Cowpcns, after whom it was
named, shall ever appear bright untarnish
ed in the Annals of Odd Fellowship. One
more and gr? at cause, tins Lodge has lor
thanksgiving, is that during the year juai
passed, only one of its 111 moors was reported
sick, so as to need the attention of
the Lodge, and none, I am happy to slate
were taken from our midst by death. The
chain that entwines us has not been severed,
and long may it be, Leforc we arc
csllcd upon to record eucIi u Borrowiul
event.
With this brief History of Morgan

of the veterans, for ere very l"ng,
you will be calhd upon to guide it yourself,

and rejoice that your Sires have kept them
unsullied, through the darkest days of its
ejciiiteiioe.<-' And to t-hoj-e brothers, who
have become lukewarm, and indifferent, 1
would say on this Anniversary day. Keturn
! be severd from the chain no longer,
help to uiakc strong tho chain tlmt here

Love and Truth,"?till again the places
you once occupied with profit and pleas

In the last-lew years we have met with
heavy loses,?familiar faces wc were wont
to see, und voices wc used to hear, are no
longer seen, mr their voices heard within
this Lodge Uooiii?they have left us ?
Some to Heck new homes and new friendships.
In niakingthc latter, h t us hope they
will find none truer than those they Iclt
behind, and whercvfcr these brothers have
gone, may they be prosperous, atid' never
forget the principles of Odd Fellowship
Others have been removed Ironi our

no traveller returns?and we trust, are
now sitting in the celestial Lodge above,!
where the Great Qrniid-Muster presides, {
and their epirits arc hovering over us now,

To th.o memory of these our de'prrtcd (

natal day.
The members nt large, I would address i
this evening Tllttt with such a Kecord
before us, (this filty-second Anniversary,)
we should be inspired it possible with re- l

having passed, the Radicals arc busy manufacturing
outrages so that when Grant
comes back from the West, he will have
tin cxcuso to put it in operation at once.
One of their dodges is to tell the some tale
over again in a different manner, and thus
create the impression thnt^it is not the
"snmc old tale." The shooting of Dr. Winsmith
conies (Kit, this morning, in a new
dress, but is easily recognized by any one
accustomed to their dark-ways and vain j
tricks.
This time Dr. Winsmith is described u-'
a "conserviitivc republican," and it is nn-i
nounccd that he has since died." In the
same number of tho paper is a notice of
the Taxpayers Convention, which says the
New York and Boston capitalists have I
formed a company with two million dollars
capital to purchase lands thrown on
the market by refusal of our people to pay
the taxes; but no mention is uiudc that
the "conservative lcpublican" was in favor
of the said convention, although, the cards
of those discontented republicans published
in the sartiC number of the Spartan,
with Dr. Winsmith's card ore noticed and
commented upon.
The paper here which is more active in
getting up these Ku Klux stories seems to
have a regular correspondent in our neighborhood.
lie writes them that those eaids
are pub'ished because the signer's are warned
by the K. K., and that one of the writers
told him since publishing his card,
that he was "just as good a rrjmblican as
he ever was," which is not hard to believe
as the only reason thoy turned radical was |
to share in the "stealage.'* (Jr.int is bound I
to be President next time if "brute lorce''
can uiakc him, and he. will control the:
Southern States with tiis bayonets, and
hopes to control the Northern by bribes
and cheating at the elections. "Whenever
any one is killed in the South after this,
somfbody will be arrested arid hanged fori
it. No man of common sense imagines for
a moment that any of the Ku Klux will
suffer, for to catch them is impossible, but
some from llic neighborhood will ba.tl-.n

ricd to Charleston, (the trials must all be

number of negroes and mean white men

will bo exclusively negroes, na they must
