 GENERAL DECLARATION. 
 
 At all times nothing can be more natural, and at this 
 time nothing can be more reasonable, than that those 
 who have common rights to protect and con.mon 
 interests to defend, sl.ould act together and know each 
 other. It is by division that the benevolent objects of 
 tme patriots are frustrated, and their best and noblest 
 clTorts for the public good defeated. In these distant but 
 important appendages of our Great Empire, it must bo 
 obvious to every loyal and reflecting mind, that an union 
 of intelligence, an increase of means, and a knowledge 
 of each other, are essential. 
 
 The Loyal Orange Institution is formed by v 
 persons desirous of supporting, to the utmost of their ' 
 power, the principles and practice of the Christian 
 Religion, to maintain the Laws and Constitution of the 
 Country, afford assistance to the distressed members of 
 
 li\fe

 'the Onler, an«l ulIicrvvi:io to [jroiuuie sucli luiiJablc anu 
 benevolent purpoL^cs as may loml to the due orderin r of 
 Religion nntl Christian C/iurilt/, and tl»e supremacy of 
 Law, Order, and Constitutional Freedom. 
 
 Its members assoriale in lionor of King William 
 the III., Prince of Orange, whose name they bear, 
 and whose immortal memory they hohl in levcreMce, 
 tending as he did, under Divine Providence, to the 
 overthrow of the most oppressive bigotry, and tlio 
 restoration of pure Religion and Libcity. They revere 
 the memory of that immortal Prince, not only as a 
 Patriot, a Constitutional Monarch and a Hero, but as a 
 true Christian ; and hope, in the adoption of his name, 
 to emulate his virtues, by maintaining Religion without 
 persecution, or trenching upon the rights of any. 
 
 The Orange Society lays no claim to exclusive 
 loyalty or exclusive protestantism, but admits no man 
 within its pale whose principles are not loyal, and whose 
 creed is not Protestant. 
 
 Disclaiming an intolerant spirit, the Society demands, 
 as an indispensable qualification, without which the 
 greatest and the wealthiest may seek admission in vain, 
 that the candidate shall be believed to be incapable of 
 persecuting or injuring any one, on account of ills 
 religious opinions ; the duty of every Orangeman being 
 to aid and defend all loyal s^ihjcds, of every religions 
 persuasion, in the enjoyment of their Constitutional 
 rights.

 As the Prince of Orange was invited to England by 
 a coalition of parlies, who were united by a common 
 sense of their sacred duty to preserve their religion anJ 
 liberties, so the Oranga Society, named after that 
 immortal Prince, invites a similar combination, and 
 calls upon the sons of Britain to lay aside political 
 feuds, andj like their illustrious ancestors, who signed 
 and sealed the Great Covenant of Freedom, to sacrifice 
 every private consideration. and establish a centralization 
 of freedom, upon such a comprehensive basis as will 
 enable every limb and filjre to re'^eive vitality and 
 nourishment from the paient stem.
