reason as it is well known that there
are members of the Know Nothing party,
who their lives have opposed secret
societies. ayowedlye throughfsar of their
being used for political purposes. One Of
the objects of Know Nothingism is the
prescription of portion Of the christian
church. for worshipping God according to
the dictates of the lconcisnGe Of its mem
bers, while some Of those engaged in that
work, are themselves unbelieyers, in re-
vealed religion .irr4 -. va
The secret benevolent societies, in their
rules and regulations, seek7to control on
~ their own members; the action Of
Lodges does not affect those outside Of
them, but all who are interested, have a
voice in their transactions. Know Moth
ingism seeks universal dominion-in fact
the very object Of the organization is to
give it an advantage over those who are
outside the, order-and the changes ii
proposes. affect all alike, whether mem
bers or opponents.
The secrets of the benevolent societies
are only such as are necessary to prevent
being imposed upon by those who have
not shared their portion of labor and ex
pense. We pay certain amount Of mo.
ney which creates fund to be used il
the relief of each other, and our secret.
are only such things as enable us tc
make ourselves known, that we may
prove ourselves entitled to that relief
The secrets of Know>Nothingism, on the
contrary, are for the express purpose o
deceiving the balance Of the world, and
obtaining an advantage over them BY
that deception. ..-.,a
These are some OF the differences be-
tween the secret benevolent societies ant
Know Nothingism. and we submit it tc
the dispassionate consideration Of the
world if they are not very material diff
ferences. 10 our mind they are SO great
that we cannot see how person whose

We may advert TO this subject again
as we feel that not half the difference

feeling of the most exquisite horror We
have experienced. On arriving on The

blaze. The pooricreatures were speedi.

there was not sufficient head to thro,vftke
