to govern the country by a secret sys-
tenn, skilfully devised, and conirived for
the purpose Of facilitating a political
revolution, but which, when that revolu-
ton is complete, will occasion nothing
but inconvenience for there are two con-
trolling elements 10 the party, the real
and the ostensible
Under the plea Of "the purity Of the
ballot-box," corrupt politicians bind the
masses by solemn oaths in secret con-
claves, and secure the spoils of office by
the persecution of religious sect. The
atrocity of the crime and the hypocrisy
Of the apology are worthy of each other.
The K. N. Party desire to haul down
the beacon of liberty which appeared to
the old world on the formation of our
government and shonld they succeed,
it would leave lasting stain on the fame
Of Liberty and America

swrars obedience to its head, and thus
surrenders his freedom for slavery; for
he receives no assurance in return that
the power he has surrendered shall not
be barbarously abused
The essential Characteristic Of free
man is that independence which results
from an habitual reliance upon his own
resources lie is not in fact a freeman
who habtunlly looks to secret political
societies for bounties. An idea more
fatal to liberty could not be inculcated.
The days Of Roman Liberty were
numbered when tho people consented to
receive bread from the public granarios.
So are the days of American Liberty,
, when the people permit themselves to be
governed by secret conclayes for it is
not the patriot who has shown he great
est capacity and made the greatest sac
rifces TO serve the republic, but the
demagogue, who will promise TO distrib-
ute most profusely the spoils, that wlll be
elevated to Office, by an oath bound, de-
generate and mcrccnary populace.
Under the infamous ritual of the X
} n. order, which binds its members to be
governed by its head and . majority, and
to support members Of the ordrr, al'ho'
their candidates might be covered with
/ all the "muhiplying yilainies Of nature
the most immaculate patriots and pro-
found statesmen in the nation can hold
no competition with them.
"Thank God we are yet free; and if
We put on the chains which are forging
for US, it will he because we choose to
wear them" If our ancestors had been
capable Of surrendering themselves to
such ignobe sentiments as characterize
the k. n party, our Independence and
cur liberties would never have been
achieved.
The land is filed with spies and in
e formers, and detraction and denunciation
are the orders of the day. People no
longer speak in the fearless tones of man
ly freomon, but in the cautious whispers
of trembling slaves. The premonItory
symptoms Of dissolution are up N Us.
eff there be subject move sacred and
delicate than another, in which the Uni
ted States ought never to intermcddIe,
even by obtrnsive advice, it is that which
concerns religious liberty. The most
cruel and Geyast.ng wars have been pro-
duccd by such Interference the blood
of man has been poured out in torrents;
and from the crusades to the present
hour, no benefit has resulted to the hu-
man family, from discussions carried on
by nations upon such subjects"
Large promises, smooth excuses, elab-
crate tissues of circumstantial fasehood
chicanery, perjury, are the weapons, Of
fensive and defensive of the Hndoo
American party.
"Doest thou well to be angry :" was
the question asked in old time of the He-
brew prophet And he answered 81 DO
we'll" This is the temper of the Hin
doc American order, and to this cause
We attribute the savage cruelty Of the
party. None are so merciless as those
who confound their antipathies with their
duty.
! The politicians who control the Hin
doc American party, are not squeamish
in political transactions but are sordid
and rapacious. They are not too far
enlightened to look on great republic
purely as buccaneer would look on a
