been wrong ffem the beginning, and deserving Of
nothing but condemnation.
In the attempted grafiing Of tlcsc sapient ideos
upon the creed Of tie National Know Noflinps.
| the question OF deepest interest Is To what es
tent can the popular mind be invcigled into their
support? II the doctrines were fairly and frankly
set forth, no head could be made, and no impress
ion IN their behalf effected upon the true masses of
I he North who object to being over slaughed by
the sayc-driycrs. But they will not be fairly and
frankly set forth. That Is no part of the scheme
| of the cunning men who are riding the Know
Nothing hobby. Theydo not mean to face tho
subject but to go round, it, dodgeit, or avoid IL
altogether. And ID this way. and by honeyesI
words of patriotism, and by the dismal plattudes
Of milk and-water gencraities, they propose to put
the public sentiment to leep long enough for them
/ to pick political pockets ofthc innocent minded
ard long-eared.
Docs any body reply that this exposition ii IN
correct in view of the Anti Slavery action OF
! Know Nothing Councils in the North? We ar
lswer that Know Nothngism, as every national
rarity has done before it, must decide on the Hla-
| very question. In the South that party Is to be
utterly and unqualifcdlv Pro- Slavery, as every
p0lL1crl party lueFE - uOWy vigorously cOfnpeieu
| to be. And in the South we are to see the bases
and gro1nd-tier OF National Know nottingham.
Upon the slav,-driving platform the recruits
which arc obtained in the North must stand be
they few or many. The Known othingsism Of
New England and Of Ohio is not counted upon By
the National. This IS distinctly avovcd. The
Know Nothings of Massachusetts are already
CONTEMPORARY cast aside by their National BretL-
rem, and handed over to the Anil Nebraska party
| in the North. Wherever else Northern Councils
Of the fraternity are equally independent, The sel-
tence of excommunicafion will be passed upon
! Them. It is New York. Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, and portion of the West that il relied on to
stick to Pre-Savery National Know Noshirgsm
through thick and thin. Aud with this support
back the South it is fondly reckoned that no more
strength will be necessary in order to win. Ma
tionaI Know Nothingisln is thus simply to be a
Southern Pre-S.ayery army with Northern Re-
cruiting stations. The general officers in the
grand campaign are to be the slave O.igarchs.
The North viii be graeiously allowed to fur
nish lieuscnants. The head IS to be Southern,
nd the tail Northern. Who hears sugges-
ion OF Northern man for President in the
whole crowd Of these patriots?

All the oaths be alluded toWere s<1truj difl1 :
Rev. Thomas B sott. remafk h that ssthe example
Of thd adostle Paul urder the immediate in
SEPARATION Of the Holy Spirit fully proves that
solemn oaths, in some cases are both lawful and
expedient.y Again ssthe Apostles language is,
for substance, most solemn oath, o. appeal to
the heart searching Ged,' FOR the truth Of what
hc said. Robert Haldane, Esqr. remarks, on
the same words God i my witness This is
substantially an oath; and refutes the erroneous
and miscellaneous notion Of some who maintain,
from q NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of what is said by our
Lord and the Apostle James, that all oaths are
unlawful" Other authorities me might add but
deem these sufficient.
But letus suppose that the Apostle Paul has set
as bad example. and that aIlthese learned and
pious commentators are mistaken in recognizing
the obligation Of Aextra-judicial oaths,' what
does our neighbor accomplish for his unworthy
client. By his own authority. athe learned Adj
am Clark he proves that Mr. McKinnon, 70
far from being christian does not deserve the
reputation either Of decenry or common sense. -
| What is evidenced Why. Mfa Nc Kinnon used
an oath which he was not "solemnly called BY
the magistrate to Make and still better evi-
dence upon our mind, is, that he Uiolutea that
oath il his letter be true.
If our neighbor still entertans doubts we can
show him that on several occasions patriarchs
and prophets have required extra-judiciai oaths
nay, the Almighty himself has required them of
his faithful servant. Will it be said that these
oaths were not binding not lawful--be-
cause thew were "extra judiciaily administeredr'
The Almighty has also set tn, example oftaking
extra judicial oaths." A single example is
sufficient, and it may be found in Gen. %: Is.
Concerning this oath the Apostle Paul remarks
that 'swhen God made promise to Abraham be-
cause he could swear by no greater. he sware by
himself" Yetour neighbor thinks extra-judi
cial oaths are ,snlaufu'!
But suppose the oath was unlawful, was the
promise unlawful! Mr.. MeKinnon prom sed to
keep the secrets and broke that premise. lie
quotes Areh-deacon paley in justification, but
Archdeacon Paley expressly Says Promise Of
secrecy ought not to be violated, although the
public weud derive advantage from the discov.
er5y Such promises contain no ,nlaufulncss
them to destroy their obligation; for as the in
formation would not have been impaired upon
any other condition. the public lose nothing by
the promise which they would have gained with.
out it.

MORE UNIVERSITY POLITICS.


A correspondent of the Memphis Eagle wr-
ting from Oxford, Miss, under the date of May
18th says:
ssJudge Longstreet, the President of the State
University preached sermon, or rather made
political speech, on last Sunday, at Andrew
Chapel, against know Nothngism, in which
he gave it as his belief that the present drought
was sent upon us on account Of the SINS of the
Know Nothings. | am afraid that the old
Judge is In his dotage. He reminds me OF the
simpletons in North Alabama who attribute the
dry weather to the telegraph
We do not know what are the SINS of the
Know N othings, but we feel assured that
President Longstreet is not guilty of the folly
of our Crawfsh, party, who can tind nothing to
urge against the Know-Nothings but their sccre-
cy and vt oppose them as if they worked for
wages. Our reasons for this opinion will be
found in the following extract from an article
writtenby President Longstreet, concerning the
.sSans of Temperance. The article may be
found at full length in little book called the
Iii gifts of re nperance." President Longstreet
says:
"Tme rolled oh, and rolled up new order
of our faith called the Sons of Temperance
These had their secrets, and therefore | was for
time, dstrustful of them: kutI saw that they
were doing wonders in the good cause and that
thy were numbered, in their fraternity,
some of the most e fled and pious in the land
Confident that nothing was to be Ieared insuch
community Iioined them alsos And now re-
tracing our progress, marvel that we had been
so slow in our advances to our present position.
CHRIST had given ns clue to the best method oil
conquprng vice, in the organization This church
faith, into one community, where the wisdom O
all could bescollected, and where their plans o
ope alton cohl be systenIizedj arranged and
methedized apart from the intrusion of adversa-
ries &c"
