The Sag NIGHTS are now fixed fact among
us--an organized political body, embracing the
worst elements of our foreign population lat least
80 far as it can be seduced into such u suicidal
course, and the reckless demagogues who hereto
fore have marshaed the foreign vote in the much
abused name of the Democracy. The change OF
position, politically, will leave things about the
same as before, SO far as foreign voters are con-
cerned though we think the sober, rejecting,
order-loving naturalized Citizens when they see
the tendency Of this separation from the native
population when they reflect that the American
party is but legitimate consequence of their ex-
elusive course Notwithstanding in our cities 10
violence and corruption-will hesitate before they
conclude to lend themselves to the formation of
foreign party J" in opposition to the American"
element. Their exclusiveness has already pro-
duced mischief enough, both to themselves and
TO the country. 1t is time they begin to look to
consequences in future
There can now be no mistake as to the organiza-
ton of secret societies all the country espe-
cally in the West, under the patronage Of the
General Government. In this State, Joel w. Will
son, of Tifin, is the president Of the order. We
have the names of all the officers of the "Grand
Council, but deem il only necessary at present to
dwell on the general facts. At Washington, the
Postmaster General, Roman Catholic, takes the
concern under his patronage; and this Johnes
who is a clerk at Washington, is maintained at the
expense OF the people, 10 c0llate the correspond
ence and elaborate the facts gathered from diFer-
ont parts Of the country-a work he is qualified
for If he can BE- kept sober and under control. He
l. placed at Washington for reasons which viii
strike any one on a moments consideration; he
there can be furnished with printing, stationery,
and franks, 10 any extent These secret organiza-
tons are no new thing in this State. The Mama
tribe, whose centre was at Cincinnati, will not soon
be forgotten by the Democracy" or such Of them
as had the Independence TO oppose themselves TO
its behests. The leayen, we find, is yet working
VAuLrED PAssAGE.-There has just been dis
covered in the province Of Logrono, between Tor
recila de Camera and Penade Ia Mel, near the high
road from Madrid TO France, and at a depth OF
shout seventy feet below the level of the soil,
vaulted passage seven feet in width the upper part
OF which and the ground are covered with innu-
merable stalacttcs and stalngmites which in many
parts have united and formed pillars. Seen by
torchlight, this gallery originally formed by the
hand of man. but ornamcnted by that OF nature,
presents a perfectly fairy scene This passage,
which Ia from $50 to leo feet IN length, Is termna-
ted by circular space Of about 1900 square feet
in extent, the roof Of which il 80 high that the
firm Of Il cannot be distinguished. In the midst
Of this vast sale the remains Of large funeral
pile surrounded at some distance by logs Of wood,
purity decayed and partly puverized and in another
part are heaps Of human bones, some calcned and
others in their natural state. At different points
are openings some Of which contain staircases In
stone, bat the height Of which has not been yet
ascertaincd the iouness Of the air preventing the
persons who made this discovery from remaining
any longer in the place.
