Obligation of the Know Nothing
Oaths
On this subject the National Democrat hs
the following:

On this subject the National Democrat has
the following:
Two wrongs never made right, and if we
have taken an oath TO do that which we now
deem to be morally, socially and politically
wrong, which we now look upon as rank trea-
son to our country, the wrong consisted in
taking the oath, and not UiOLafing it. If we
pledge ourself 10 do that which it is not lawful
for us to do. it is not our duty to keep it,
We sinned in making the engagement and not
in breaking it, because the engagement is itself
sinful and wrong aud therefore null and void
The same principle governs the questions of
oaths lawful oath binds in conscience, and
is to be kept to whomsoever given, but not an
unlawful oath. III we swear to do that which
is wrong we sin in so swearing. but we should
sin dOubly were We to keep that oath. Then
the oaths taken by the Know Nothings being
extra judicial, unlawful and wicked, they com
NIT an offence in taking them; but they do not
sin, and it is not perjury for them to break
them, because being illegal and criminal they
We're never obligatory.
The principle as laid down in moral philoso-
ply is plain TO the comprehension of ali, teach
ing and enforcing the doctrine. that no man can
bind himself to commit sin. or incur an obliga-
ton which it would be sinful 10 take or sinful
to keep Man never is, and never can be moral
~ bound to do wrong, or to commit crime

GRAND GATHERING OF LITERARY MEN,
We understand that arrangements are being
made to gather in this city in the coming au-
tumn all the authors and publishers in the
United States, of any distinction. 1t is in
tended to entertain them at grand Temper
ance Banquet at the Irving, or some suitable
place, and to make the affair the occasion for
a grand display of the literary wealth and
talent of the country. The entertainment
will be given under the auspices of the New
York Booksellers Association, but the ex-
penses will be betrayed by private subscrip-
tons. AS much as thousand dollars has al
ready been subscribed, and the Harpcrs, the
Appletons, and all our leading publishers
enter heartily into the idea The most ac-
tive man in pushing the matter forward and
perfecting the details is Mr.. Leavitt, of Vesey
street. The movement is novel, but it is a
splendid conception, and will, no doubt, be
attended in its realization with great eclat.-

The GOLD DIsCovERIEs.-Last week we brief
ly alluded to the reported discovery Of gold in
this vicinity. Since then we have been opros-
pecting," and We can now say that gold does.
unquestionably, exist here; but whether in such
quantities as will pay for working, remains yet
to be determined. We tried the gravel forma-
ton in the hill, east of town, and found gold in
every "pan." We have no doubt that upon
digging down to the gravel, any place in town,
the color" can be obtained We also prospect
ed the rayines putting into Bridge Creek,
about a mile south of town, and found gold
in nearly every PAINFUL of dirt we washed. The
BLACK sand" is the same here as in California,
and is readily taken up by the magnet. The
gold is very fine, and 1t would be difficult to
save it without the use Of quicksilver. We hope
that an effort will be made to test the matter
thoroughly.-Deiphi Times.
