NATHAN HALE CHAPTER.-Our friends of Nathan Hale Chapter, Newark, N. J., were greeted with an overflowing audience at their Anniversary on the 27th Nov. The great Library Hall of that City was crammed with attentive listeners, and hundreds were compelled to return from the doors, unable to gain admittance. Chancellor C. Goodrich Boyce, of NewYork, delivered an admirable address, his subject being the principles and objects of our Order, which was received with soul-stirring evidences of approval. In fact, wherever the principles of our Order are truly presented, they meet with an instinctive, sympathetic response, from every heart deserving the proud name of American. Nathan Hale Chapter, and the Order generally, in New-Jersey, is in a highly flourishing condition. A new. Chapter is now in progress of formation at Wightstown.

FORMATION OF CHAPTERS.-Applications for Charters for new Chapters of the O. U. A. must in all cases be made to the Chancery of the State in which the proposed Chapter is to be located. If no Chancery is formed in the State, the first Chapter chartered there exercises the powers of a Chancery, and the application must be made to that Chapter. If no Chapter of the Order exists in the State, the application must be made to Arch Chancery, or, at the present time, to the Chancery of the State of New-York, which is acting as Arch Chancery. Applications must be signed by at least ten persons, and accompanied with a fee of six dollars. If the application is favorably considered, a delegation will be sent, at the expense of Arch Chancery, to institute the Chapter, if not, the fee will be returned. The following is the form of an application.

BORN at Bridge's Creek, Westmoreland County, Virginia, on the 22nd of February, 1732.

DIED at Mount Vernon, December 14th, 1799.

"Against the insidious wiles of Foreign Influence, I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens, the jealousies

of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that Foreign Influence is one of

the most baneful foes of a Republican Government."- Washington's Farewell Address.
