THE MYSTERY OF. KNOW NOTHINGlSM.


To-day we present the people of Virginia with
full and accurate explanation of the mystery OF
Acknowledgements. In its Ritual and Constitution,
of which we give an exact and literal copy not only
are the objects and principles of the Order distinct
" set FORTH but its cypher, formulas, signs grips
and other secret aoor& are clearly and compulsory
disclosed. The mask is torn from Know-Nothing-
ism; and it is exposed to the indignation of the
country in all the repusive aspects of its vile ana
hideous nature.
No doubt there members of the Order VINO
will attempt to hide themselves from the blasting
gaze of the public eye and to cover up their shame
and guilt from popular execraon, by dlsputlng the
authenticity of these documents Bound by the
most horrible oahs, and pricked on by fear OF the
most dreadful penalties to deny and conceal even
the existence of the Order, its members will not,
hesitate to resort to every expedient OF equVocation
and Misrepresentation to- break the force oil these
revelations But Know-No thingiSm cannot evade
this blow. If any respectable person In the STATE
questions the authenticity Of these publications. we
pledge ourselves to establish their genuineness to
his satisfaction. If any Nothing charges that
thew are fabrication, we wik convict him OF false
hood before the country. We throw out the den-
ance: let any Know-Nothing who dares accept the
challenge.
tits possible that in consequence of this disclo-
sure the grips and signs, maybe the cypher too, OF
tia nature and operations of the thing not atec-
ted by change of the symbols of the Order. The
secret is out and cannot be recalled. know-Noth-
ingisln is unveiled to the public gaze, and every
body NAV read and understand its mystery and Its
meaning:

HEoKLEs, THE WoNDERFuL!-It is well known,
lsays the Richmond Enqurer,) that Mr.. Patton, in
his great speech, alauded to the skies letter of
Valentine Heckler, foreign born citizen, whose
great merit is that he vilified his own countrymen,
in his new Know Nothing garb. Heckler is now the
tool OF the Know sNothings in running down the
Germans. In 1852 he was the tool OF the Scott
Wings, noD Rnoso N0things in caioling these same
German and other adopted citizens into the Wing
trap. The following is exact copy of a handful,
circulated in this city the day the Presidential
election in 1852. In what beautiful light the man
ayers of Heckler, at that time Wings and now Kn w
Nothings, are placed by the publication of the fol-
lowingl Rich Enq Z.
