THE RECENT DISCLOSURES IN MASSACH USETTS. |
We published yesterday from the Lowell Massachusetts,
Advertiser the of extraordinary trial which
took place that city few days since Our readers will
perceive the which the doctrines of knownoth
ingsm can be carried and the extent to which they are
carried when the sacred rights and privileges are in
yoved But we are far from believing that every man
who has Joined this order has done so for the
purpose Of sustaining these nvasons upon the
most sacred privileges of the citizen and these attempts to
set at defiance the vital laws of the land Some have
bound themselves by extraordinary obligations in order
to crafty natural curiosity and Others, controlled
BY their alleged devotion American principles by
pardonabe of patriotism have regarded this secret
order as the best way fulfil their expectations and
desires OF these classes of men, composing the great
majority by far of the candestine coalition, neither, in
our opinion will be willing follow the fatal lead Of those
reckless emagogues who invented it for the purpose
of controlling great and of defeating the ends
of Justice When a genuine American sees that the
grossest crimes are be palated-that the most
abandoned progaes to be protected-that his fell
low-bengs to be prosecuted because they do not
worship at the shrine with himsef-and that
nothing neither nvincibe courage and inestimabe SER
vices ON the battlefield neither deeds OF charity
neither generosity spoless reputation nor the most
distinguished abilities, can protect an adopted citizen
from t furious prescriptions of these mitaors OF the
yrans of by-gone ageswhen he sees these Things
he will rcco from the impusye oaths he has taken ana
boldly stand forth the vndicator Of that equality and equity
which peculiarly the characteristics OF our lnsutu
tons Curiosity be grafed in seeing guilty OF
infamous crimes rescued from Justice curiosity cannot be
grathed by the spectacle of an honest man taking the
of God in vain to prosecute his brother and friend
simply for religious differences curiosity cannot be graft
fed by that seprostimtion which compes American
citizen defy the laws upon which liberties repose and
prescribe because he born in the land of aay
cite Of Montgomery or Kosciusko, or Gallatn And
here let appeal to the young OF our country, who
are enticed into these of mpety and intolerance by
the seductive glare of false patriotism IT is not patriot
ism prescribe; it is not patriotism to lie it is not
patriotism assist degrade those whom meet every
day, and who before God and the law, our equals
and whom hnoo 10 be good it not patriotism to
ask those whom have invited hither from other lands
to fight the battles of country, and then to deny them
the right vote or hold office; it is not patriotism to
allow bold bad men, whom all believe to be bold bad
men-who against the constitution of the United
tateswho co-conspirators with those who seek to
dissolve the Union ii is patriotism to allow such
mislead by oaths and obligations, at profane
and unconstitutional the young of America Hence
it is that do believe that those who have entered
this organizationth cass from curiosity
and The other indulge what they cali patriosnl-will
become the aiders and abettors such
designs entertained by the leaders of that organza
ton have been exposed during the late trial in
Massachusetts
