THE BETTER CITIZENS.-The following excerpts will be found peculiarly racy : SCURRILITY.-An Englishman, whose name heads a seven-by-nine sheet in the city of Paterson, N.J., made a filthy and abusive fling at the "And I will say, briefly, that of the twenty-four Rev. gentleman who officiated in his sacred capa-millions which compose their population, [the United city at the U. O. A. Anniversary, held in that city, on the 5th of September last. In the same article he eulogizes his fellow-countryman, George Thompson, and vilifies the Order of United Americans. To show the character of this fellow, we copy from his paper a few lines on another subject. Here are his own words : "In our last number we took occasion to speak approvingly of the Order of Good Samaritans, and expressed the hope that a lodge would shortly be instituted in Paterson. Weil, a lodge was organized, with about twenty members, ourself one of them. Between the evening of organization and the next meeting of the lodge, we learned that in the process of 'taking the degrees' of the Order, an obligation or pledge was required, to render a willing and cheerful obedience to the laws of the land in which we live. This was too much for us. He refused to take such an obligation, and withdrew entirely from the Society, rather than promise to obey the laws of the land. Such are the enemies of the United Americans, and of such are too many of our "better citizens!" States,] there is not a more sincere or a more loyal citizen than the humble individual whose integrity you have seen fit to call in question."-Archbishop Hughes to Horace Greeley. "We believe it may be conceded that few more ardent Republicans are to be found than we are.”— Irish American. The old mode of expression was "better than nine-tenths born on the soil," but since the modest Archbishop has made the figures equivalent to one in twenty-four millions for himself, we suppose that the old phrase will become obsolete, and, therefore, we are pleased to find the "Irish American" doing the superlative for the whole mixed race, as thus :- "You have not among your twenty-five millions of citizens men more ardently Republican than we are; -men who love liberty with a broader enthusiasm than we do." Who will say now they are not entitled to "that scarlet hat?" NAMES AND ADDRESS OF THE DELEGATES TO THE CHANCERY, O. U.
