MOVEMENTS OF THE ORDER. the room was lighted with a few candles, susNIAGARA CHAPTER of New-York, has chang-pended against the walls. The only ostentation ed the night of meeting from Monday to Friday, 149 Bowery. FRANKLIN CHAPTER has also changed from Monday to Friday, O. U. A. Hall, corner of Grand and Ludlow streets. INDEPENDENCE has changed from Friday to Saturday, and the place of meeting from the corner of Broadway and Walker street, to No. 360 Broadway. AMERICAN has changed the time of meeting from Wednesday to Monday, and the place from the corner of Broadway and Walker, to No. 360 Broadway. MOUNT VERNON has changed from Thursday to Friday, and the place of meeting from the corner of Broadway and Walker street, to Fountain Hall, No. 149 Bowery. UNION CHAPTER of Port Chester, meets on Thursday evening. LEXINGTON CHAPTER of Brooklyn, has changed from the corner of Fulton and Orange streets, to Low's Building, Court street, adjoining Montague Hall, Monday evening. PLYMOUTH will hereafter meet at the same place, on Thursday, instead of Wednesday evening. that we witnessed, was the earnest desire of our patriotic brothers, to bring before their fellowcitizens conviction on the great subject of nationality. Every heart was in the right place. The room was filled, and the audience was composed mainly of the intelligent and influential gentlemen of the place. A more attractive audience we never had the honor of addressing, and we are happy to learn that the result of our effort has been in the highest degree satisfactory and fruitful, several of the best citizens of Freehold having since enrolled themselves under the banner of the Order. At Freehold, we felt that we were on what should be and will be regarded as classic ground. That night we rested at the Washington Hotel, kept by Mr. Reed. The house is a revolutionary relic, having been occupied by Gen. Washington after the battle of Monmouth. On the following day we visited the battle-ground, and were deeply interested: an account of the visit will be found in another department of this number. On this occasion, we were accompanied by Grand Sachem Godfrey, of New Jersey, and Chancellor Fash, of Morgan Chapter, Hoboken. PLYMOUTH CHAPTER, BROOKLYN. We visit PAULDING CHAPTER changes her night of ed this excellent Chapter a few evenings since, meeting from Friday to Tuesday. JASPER CHAPTER meets hereafter on Friday, instead of Monday, as heretofore. MAGNA CHARTA CHAPTER, Brooklyn, changes from Wednesday to Thursday, and from Montague Hall to their new room in the lower part of the city, or South Brooklyn. NEW-YORK CHAPTER also changes from Monday to Thursday evening. It will be seen that nearly every Chapter in New-York, that has heretofore met on Monday, has changed to some other day. This is in consequence of the regular meetings of Chancery being held on that day, thus compelling the delegates to sacrifice their duty either at their Chapters or the Chancery. The present arrangement will be much better for all parties. MONMOUTH CHAPTER,NEW-JERSEY.--In compliance with an invitation from the brothers of this thriving Chapter, we paid them a visit on Friday, the 25th April, for the purpose of explaining to the people of Freehold, where the Chapter is located, the objects and principles of our Order. We found their new hall still unfinished, and the meeting was held in a room of the same building, on the first floor, capable of seating about one hundred persons. This was also unfinished. The rostrum was constructed of rough planks laid across wooden horses, and and were pleased to find a renewed spirit pervading its business affairs. Under the active paternal care of P. G. S. Reed, this Chapter is destined to a high position. The Alderman is always active, and performs the duties of a third Marshal with as much zeal as he did those of Grand Sachem. EXCELSIOR CHAPTER.-In consequence of a severe storm, this Chapter postponed its anniversary celebration from the 6th to the 13th of May, at which time, Chancellor C. G. Boyce, delivered an eloquent address. We are pleased to know that Excelsior is in a fair way to achieve the position that its name indicates. NEW HALL AT NEWARK.-The several Chapters meeting at Newark, N. J.,--viz., Pioneer, Nathan Hale, American Flag and Excelsior,-have fitted up a beautiful hall, dedicated to the Order, in Morris' Buildings, Broad-street, opposite the Military Common, where their meetings will hereafter be held. LIBERTY CHAPTER, OF New-York, was entertained, on Friday evening, May 16th, with a capital address, from Chancellor E. B. Brush, of Continental Chapter. The address was to the members of the Order only, and was replete with instruction and patriotism. FRANKLIN CHAPTER, under the banner of which we have the honor to be enrolled, has resolved to turn out in Chapter capacity, in response to the invitation of our brothers of New Jersey, and will assemble at O. U. A. Hall, corner of Grand and Ludlow streets, on Saturday, 24th of May, at eight o'clock, A. M., to unite with the Chancery on its visit to Newark. We hope to see every member on hand in full regalia. THE CHANCERY of New-York, at its last meeting, adjourned to June 2d, which will be the regular semi-annual meeting. The committee of arrangements for the 22d of February, will then make a detailed report. Reports may also be expected from the committees of inquiry respecting the lost application for charters. "LADY WASHINGTON."-We acknowledge, with thanks, the reception of a list of subscribers from the "Lady Washington" Chapter, No. 3, U. D. A. The Chapters of the "United Daughters," having their numbers of the Republic left tc one address, are supplied at the club rates, viz. five subscribers for $8, and all above five at the same rate, which is exactly and only one dollar and sixty cents a year for each subscriber -cheap enough. The numbers supplied in this way are inclosed in one package, and sent to any place that the clubs may designate, either in or out of the city. : THE EXECUTIVE.--The Chairman of the several Executive Committees, will shortly receive copies of the Rules regulating the Executive of the Order, which they will be required to read at stated periods to their Chapters. The Grand Executive Committees of the several States will also receive copies of the same, to be in like manner distributed to the Executives of Chapters. CORRESPONDENCE. The following communication from a highly respected and venerable source, should command universal perusal. The fact stated, that the right of speech is absolutely prohibited, too often, in private families, because there may be a servant present who will not relish the promulgation or discussion of American sentiment, is :ne worthy of deep consideration. It has come to a strange pass, truly, when an American may not speak his mind in a respectful and proper manner, because a foreign servant happens to be within hearing: MR. EDITOR: New-York, May 1st, 1851. Much might be said in regard to the benefits accruing from foreign influence, and very many strong cases might be urged in favor of the emigrant: much do they contribute to science and mechanism; yet, with all the benefits, does it compensate for the many evils accruing from their presence in our midst? The great bulk of emigrants which are daily ninety and nine cases out of every hundred, are flocking over are generally uneducated, and, in capable of being made a powerful and dangerous instrument in the hands of the designing partisan, for the subversion of the very principles upon which our government is based. If our laws were such as to prohibit the right of suffrage to this class, the danger would not be so great; but the politico-religious influence they exert is enough to cause the American to rouse from the lethargy into which he has fallen.-Into the sanctuary and the school-house it enters -the press, and even private opinions, are trameled by this corroding influence. It is with pain that I have noticed its progress. Let the American citizen go into the house of a neighbor, or a friend, who has foreign help employed; let him there express sentiments adverse to the political church, and the response is "We have to depend upon foreign help, and it is needless to hurt or injure feeling;" hence the truth has to be manacled for the sake of the " almighty dollar." By the way, if our own American help were better treated, there would not be so much demand for the foreign. It is time that our Protestant churches, without distinction of sect, should be united, and, with one concentrated action of purpose, should oppose the actions of the Papal power. In every age and clime, from her organization to the present time, she has insidiously wrought her way into the political condition of every nation; and where she has triumphed, she has prostrated the nations to the dust. At this time, she is working insidiously upon our own happy country, and gnawing at the very vitals of our institutions. Have you not seen her influence upon the school laws of New-York? Within sight of Bunker Hill Monument it is reserved for a Jesuit schoolmaster to instruct the children of the Puritans. Their convents and colleges, their bishops and prelates will show their relative strength in our midst; the confessional and laws of penance are made to play upon our elections; their pomp and magnificence are made the instruments of misleading the unwary, securing every prominent point, and holding on to it as with a death grasp. Thus she aims a death blow to our institutions, under the specious plea of religion. She boasts of her love for republicanism and liberty; yet her Pope has to be maintolerate all religions; yet she, in the 19th centained by a standing army. She professes to tury, closes a Protestant chapel in Rome; she professes to be a patron of learning and science, yet she issues a bull, prohibiting Catholics from sending their children to Protestant public schools.
