WHAT OTHER EVIDENCE DOES THE SOUTH DE-


John Hale has been admitted into the secret order in New
Hampshire Tie is accompanied by Fogg and most Of those
emagogues Who in 1861 asaed President Pierce for being
hostile Catholics Hale and Fogg the chosen
leaders Of organization pledged 10 hunt down every
Catholic BY o. the cruel Acknowledgement and
10 shut out that emigration which has made the soil Of
New England the home OF enterprise and Of plenty But
che know-nothng lodges chiefly acceptable 70 Hale he
they enable him ia secret those baieal
plans for the overthrow Of the Union 10 which the best
years his life and all his energies Of body and Of mind,
have been unremittingly devoted.
II this fact sufficiently powerful evidence Of the
abolition character The conspiracy Of knownoth
ings the circumstance that every legislature which is
roled by them in the free States and that has recently
been organized has chosen abolition wings its high Of
fees should be conclusive upon every honest mind In
Pennsylvania the speaker Of the house is known abo
liion leader In Illinois both branches Of the legisa
presided over BY the class of politicians
and in Maine It'll the same In Delaware the State which
Mr. Clayton represents the Senate beth the leading Off
Of the newly elected legislature a. bitter and pro-
scripye wings Of his own school, and they viii be found
earnestly cooperating with him and his know-nohing
sociaes Hale Thaddeus Stevens and Henry Gardiner No
matter how Mr. Clayton may seek TO disguise The ahol
ton tendencies which control the order and this TO
much greater extent than IL controlled the whig
party, merged into I'D the fact that the ayowed objects
Of their organization are and temporary and
that hostility the institutions Of the South is indy
ing hatred Of the mplaeable character cannot be
reasoned away. When the secret lodges broken
up-when the present oaths and orgies superse-
ded--there will remain a solid and compact body of
abolitioniss and their dupes who will AT proceed
to carry out the work of the fanatics that lead them.
When ant-Masonry to which the most of those so
eager for societies attached passed from the
political stage the machinery and the Of that organi
zation fell into the hands OF the wings When the great
bank party shattered pieces of the democrats
who went off the then prevailing camor remained with
the wings The factions that leave the democracy always
go the next strongest party, Heretofore that has
been the wing party but now il is secret order pledged
TO the most inquisitorial prescriptions; and in few
months it viii be the abolition party alone This is the
true philosophy that teaches by example
What other evidences of the objects and the danger Of
the new party does the South want2 wiz the people of
tina, section Of the country wait realize their peril by
letting know-nothngsm take in their mdst2 viii
they take time by the rcock and protect themselves be-
fore 1t is too la,e2 win they the democratic party
struggling with this monster prescription and hold their
hands, The defeat of those who contend against may
war is reward enough brave and conscientious citi-
zen and the South will find that the advantages of present
acquescence to dominant fanatcism viii compen-
safe for the disgrace and shame that will punish such in
difference
