A trap and manages to get out, ought to

great laugh on that occasion at my eX

take occasion here to reply. could have
done so then, and perhaps it would have
been more in place, but | believed that a
reply would do no good, knowing as | did,
; the "whirlwind opinion" of the people on
that occasion. But, gentlemen, there is a
day Of reckoning coming, when all such
quibbling, lying politicians will meet with
their just reward from the people The
people may be deceived once, yea, even
twics-or thrice, but wo unto that man by
which they are deceived.
The Judge spoke the truth when he said
the great animal had been n little too has

was compelled now and then, to dsgorgc
Such is the case, gentlemen. Whenever it
takes in a good sound democrat, or Clay
whig, you may be sure rumbling will take
place In its bowels, and up comes Jonah !;
and it is equally true that all such stuff of
which Judge Strong is composed, sets quite
easy on its stomach, hence the loss of the
hinder part of men's brccchcs, on leaving
the animal. 1t is true; was swallowed
by this animal, and it is also true, while
was in its stomach, heard Judge Strong,

thing, and it is as equally true that saw
Judge Strong's head sticking ont at the
other end, crying that he (Ji,dge Strong
was not member of any secret political as

sons that are taught from one end TO the
other. The animal masticatcs its food
with lies, and the better fellow is masti-

Without joking, Judge Strong, is or has
been member Of the Know Nothing par

in this country. believe that am in
possession Of sufficient evidence to prove it
to any caAdid thinking man. that he is, but

The grand Sachem Of the Wigwam at this
place, informed the brethren-officially-
on q certain occasion when l was present,
that Judge Strong was Brother. That
he uuited with the order at Vancouver not
long after its establishment at that place.
That he had examined him aud found him
to be "all correct" The President and
several members OF the Wigwam, confirmed
the official report OF tho Worthy Grand
Usher," and TO csp the climax, we were
told by another Brother, nota member at
this place, and who was candidate before
the whig convention, that Judge Strong re-
osieed he nomination by the whig conven-
ton because he lcds k,,oton to be a member Of
dat society," Will any Know Nothing here,
deny these facts, dare any one to at

Now, as to what this trap is : pre-
sumo II would be needless for me to say,
asa full aud as far as know, perfect ex'
pose has been made Of the concern, which
suppose you have all seen. The existence
and general objects of the society is no
longer secret. There is nothing about il
but that is known, and in most all other
placesexcepi this, those who really feel that
they are doing right by being members ol
u, care not to make themselves known, aud
those that are here, might as well, for most
ofthem are known any how. If they would
do this, there would be no need for me to
say another word, but as they had attempt
ed such beautiful deception on the peo-
pie, and as that deception has been carried
70 some extent, they dare not come out SO

hope that this will eventually blow over
