PROCLAMATION.

Whereas associacions have been

formed for the pur

pose of making, lawless incursions

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS it has come to the knowledge of the Government into Canada, &c. of the United States that sundry secret Lodges, Clubs, or Associations exist on the Northern Frontier; that the members of these Lodges are bound together by secret oaths; that they have collected fire-arms, and other military materials, and secreted them, in sundry places; and that it is their purpose to violate the laws of their country, by making military and lawless incursions, when opportunity shall offer, into the Territories of a Power with which the United States are at peace; and whereas it is known that travelling agitators, from both sides of the line, visit these Lodges, and harangue the members in secret meeting, stimulating them to illegal acts; and whereas the same persons, are known to levy contributions, on the ignorant and credulous, for their own benefit, thus supporting and enriching themselves by the basest means; and whereas the unlawful intentions of the members of these Lodges have already been manifested in an attempt to destroy the lives and property of the inhabitants of Chippewa, in Canada, and the ed in these illegal public property of the British Government there being;

Persons concern

proceedings are

warned of the con

horted to abandon them, &c.

Now, therefore, I, JOHN TYLER, President of the United sequences, andex- States, do issue this my proclamation, admonishing all such evil-minded persons of the condign punishment which is cer tain to overtake them; assuring them that the laws of the United States will be rigorously executed against their illegal acts; and that if in any lawless incursion into Canada they fall into the hands of the British authorities, they will not be reclaimed as American citizens, nor any interference made by this Government in their behalf. And I exhort all well-meaning but deluded persons who may have joined these Lodges, immediately to abandon them, and to have nothing more to do with their secret meetings, or unlawful oaths, as they would avoid serious consequences to themselves. And I expect the intelligent and well-disposed members of the community to frown on all these unlawful combinations, and illegal proceed ings, and to assist the Government in maintaining the peace of the country, against the mischievous consequences of the acts of these violators of the law.

Given under my hand, at the city of Washington, the 25th [L. S.] day of September, A. D. 1841, and of the Independence of the United States the sixty-sixth. JOHN TYLER.

By the President:

DANIEL WEBSTER, Secretary of State.
