Should all Oaths be kept 2

All oaths which have been properly made
concerning things lawful, true, certain, weigh
ty and possible, should be kept-for the vio-
lation thereof would be perjury. But the
case is different where oath is made unlawful
", through error, infirnlity, or against con-
science, or when rash and unnecessary These
should be retracted and amended by repen-
tance, and by not persisting in an EVIL pur-
pose, and 50 adding sin to sin he who keeps
an unlawful oath twice-frstly, by making
an oath wickedly, rashly and unnecessarily-
and secondly, by keeping that which was
done unlawfully, rashly and unnecessarily,
for chat which is sworn to unlawfully, is worse
when kept. (See Psalms 10; 4 He that
swcars to his own hurt and changeth not -
What God forbids Us to promise, that he
more strongly forbids Us to fulfil, whether
sworn to or not, for we do wrong by promis-
ing by oath or otherwise, to do an unlawful
or wicked act And don't we do wrong again,
when we 90 and do that wicked act which we
promised unlawfully to do? Most certainly.
We sin twice, when otherwise we would have
sinned but once. We say, then, that we
have Holy Writ to bear us out, when we soy
that an extra judicial oath such as above re-
ferred to, should not be kept Those, then,
who have erred in this matter should, ike
David of old, not keep the lash oath which
they have taken. l Sam. %: %: lest they
be, Ike Herod and Jephtah, doubly guilty
Your country and your friends require it at
your hands, if you and that what you did
was wrong, that you retract and heal the
woumd, by exposing the monster iniquity.
To those who have never joined the Order
and whom Know Nothings have made believe
that all these revelations come from perjured
men, we say believe them not, they lie. The
revelations of the evil doings Of the Order
eminate from good men who had been mis-
led, and finding the error of their way, re-
tracted, lest they too should sin twice by
keeping an unlawful oath. They are not
perjured men for telling the truth, because
they had wonderfully promised not SO to do /;
for any man may at all times tell the truth
fearlessly, and any order that would put men
in position and induce them to pervert it, is
a monster evil and the Devil is at the head of
it. All promises to do an unlawful act are
void, and no man bound to perform them

The policy of having our judiciary elective
was long mo ted by many of our wisest and
best citizens If was feared bY some that the
Judicial termine would be stained by being
dragged through the political battle field, and
would be torn in excited and angry conflicts
But the result of the first election banished
these fears, and vindieated the character Of
the people for intelligence and sound judg-
ment Men were chosen for the Supreme
Bench who were an honor to the Common
wealth and to the judiciary. As a general
thing, all through the State, sound lawyers
and honest men were selected, and we know
of no instance in which those thus elevated
have stopped from their position to dabble in
the pool of politics, save only the Honorable
DAVID WILMoT.
This Fall, the people are again called upon
to select "a Judge for the Supreme Bench,
and it is with State and professional pride
that we poin to Hon. j. S. BLACK as the man
eminently worthy of the sufrages Of all.
What he has done to offend them we know
not, but we have heard it limited that a certain
blind and bigoted faction will attempt to de-
feat him. But they cannot do It The people
of Pennsylvania know and appreciate Judge
BLACK; they know him to have one of the
most grasping intellects, to be one of the
most erudite and afable gentlemen, one of
the most profound and reliable of jurists, and
withal, one of the purcst men in the Union.
He has reflected honor on the position he oc-
cupies, and the people viii honor him, No
man in the Commonwealth can give a sound
reason for voting against him, and believing
in his exalted ability and his untainted puri-
ty, We know that the people viii re-eleet him.

The Secret Society Of Traitors During the
Late War


There was secret political organization IN
this country before that which now areuses
the earnest solitude of the patriot 1t was
started to dissolve the Union. 1t grew out
OF hostility to the late war with ENGLAND, and
was fer1aentad and encouraged in that very
quarter Of the Union from which the fire
brands Of abolition are scattered over all tho
country at the present moment We allude
to the infamous Hartford Convention. The
first resolution Of these early traitors was,
that their meetings should be opened with
prayer; the next, intensely cabalistic, that
the most invielahle secrecy should be observ-
cd by each member OF the convention in
elucing the secretary, as to all propositions.
debates and proceedings, and the third, that
not even the doorkeeper, messenger, or as
sistapt should be made acquainted with the
proceedings. Even Harrison Gray Otis,
who attempted in vain TO screen this Conven-
ten from the odium that attached, and still
attaches to 1t, was compelled to declare, in
one Of bis twelve letters |'hiat hereqtier sinpi-
lar assoctations f0r political purposes toiU Ee

When We see the intolerants of the present
day deciarning their peculiar patriotism, and
at the same time uniting with the abolitionists
of the North against the democratic party.
the only party that has ever been steadily
true TO the country, in peace and in war, we
are reminded of the objects of the men who
attempted to divide the Union forty years
ago, and professed to be Americans and
Christians ali the while. The parallel viii be
completed when the new party of intolerance
becomes as infamous as the old party af trea-

I So that while in that year we are deluged

| is made to set up this late ''hard cider" and

| virtues of Temperance, and to denounce Us
'Locos' as the 'rum' party.
In 1885; JosErH RITyER was elected Go
vernon of ofPennsylvania, on the Anti Masonic
! platform of deadly hostility to all secret so
| societies, no matter what was the character
Of their objects. In 1854, James Pollock
| is put forward as the Know-Nothing can
didate for Governor, and as the represent
atives of the worst feature of a secret society,
because it is political one
In 1852, Gen Pierce was bitterly denoun-
| ced because the Constitution of New Hamp-
shire contained clause authorizing a rei-
gious test for Office In 1854. Mr. Pollock
is zealously supported by his Know-Nothing
associates, because he is said to have been
sworn to do all in his power to aid in cstab-
fishing such a test in Pennsylvania
When the Missouri Compromise was cstab-
lished, the men who voted for it from the
northern States were hung in efligy and Bit
terly denounced as traitors ofthe yilest stamp.
In 1884, when that Compromise was re-
pealed Greedy asserted that it would be bet
ter to Laye the National Capitol with all It's
inmates blown up, than that such repeal
should be effected.
In 1852, the Wing National Convention
warmly endorsed the Compromise measures
of $50, thefagitjge lar included. In 1851.
the Wing State Central Committee of Penn
sylyania have issued an address, containing
d clause intending to convey the impression
that the Wing party of this State IS il "a

In 1852, Gen Scott the Wing President
ial Candidate was very eloquent IN his praise
of .'the sweet Irish brogue' and the rich
German accent, In 1854, Mr. Pollock IS
said to have sworn in a Know-Nothing Lodge,
to practically prescribe all foreigners
