Tho Jesutts-
II is o singular fact, that while pol
iticians and partizan editors are hurl-
ing their anathemas at the order Of
"Know Nothings," and denouncing
all purely local American organizations
as "socret bands of conspirators against
the rights and liabilities Of the Amer
can people," they are silent as the
grave with regard to another secret
order which prevails in this country to.
an extent that appals all, who know
how far it runs, and which is sugses
tive Of revolvers and bowie knives.
We allude to the Most Holy Order Of
Jesus, commonly known in this conn
try as Jesuits, secret organization of
Roman Catholics, the members Of
which are sworn to wage war Of ex-
termin alton against the Protestant re-
ligion, and to spread the supremacy
and promote the interests, assumptions,
and pretcnsons of the Pope of Romo
in this country, by all means, good or
bad, at their command. This foreign
secret organization prevails in this
country to an extent that few men
dream of, but its members. The whole
town Of Harrisburg has recently been
excited about On imaginary order Of
Know Nothings," said TO bc com>
posed of Americans and Protestants,
whose object is the preservation Of the
Bible, the pcrpotuation Of their reli-
giOn, and projection against the en-
croachments Of tho Papal power. And,
this American organization has been
denounced by leading Democratic ed
itors as secret band Of conspirators
against the rights and liberties Of the
American people," while their lips are
Theoretically sealed with regard to q
secret organization Of which the Pope
is the great head, and the members Of
which acknowledge Allegiance to no
power on earth savo the Pore Of Rome.
The Jesuit is here, there and every.
where with his breath Of poison and
touch Of death. Crafty, base, mean,
,reacherous and iovilish, there is 10
deed that is too atrocious for him To
undertake, for the advancement Of Pa.
pal power, and the overthrow Of the
civil and religious institutions Of this
country. lie conspires everywhere
for the downfall Of the liberty Of the
pcople--he ia ever the samc Infamous
charaoter-the same at Rome, in Har.
ri,burg, in the regions Of heat,in those
of cold. All good men abhor him, all
decent men fear and shun him. His
very garments are rank with the odor
Of crime. The jesuit What is he
not a? And yet those secret bands Of
foreign conspirators against the rights,
liberties, and religion Of the American
people, are permitted to meet in seoret
conclave, plot, and counterplot, and
not one word of denunciation do we
hear from the political pross-whilo Sc
cres American organizations organized
for the protection Of the Bible, and
tho defence Of the religion of home are
mathematical as anti-republican, dan
gerous to tho liberties Of the country.
Political demagogues will soon begin
to discover that there is power in
this country greater than that Of the
Jesuits, and that hereafter no man can
hopo to attain official position at the
hands Of the American people who is
not wholly free from " entangling alli-
apces" with the foreign ecclesiastical
power which seek, the overthrow Of
Professionalism and Republicanism.-
