Note
Probably intended for publication in the Southern Literary Messenger, which Minor owned and edited from 1843-1847.
Number 1 includes the main points of the Society's "Constitution", or Institution.
These remarks are occasioned by the violent assaults of many on the Cincinnati Society ... assaults to which our attention has been recently directed by our examination into the history of this association."
Forming the Society "satisfied the cravings of their hearts, by bringing them together periodically, by uniting their eldest sons in the same bonds of intimacy, and providing a fund for the support of the wives and children of such as should be destitute."
Number 2 summarizes much of the opposition to the Society then concludes: "The only conclusion to be drawn from this portion of our examination,... is that the objections to the Society, although entertained by many patriotic and sagacious men, and insinuated into the minds of the masses, were founded in error, and that the dangers apprehended from the continuance of the association were purely imaginary."
Original members mentioned include George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Nathanael Greene.
