Ma. EufIoR:@ take the liberty with
your permissiOu, to oEsr a few thoughts
through The columns Of The Sentinel. for the
consideration Of the people. and he adj
vancemento Of human liberty, in reference
to the subject Of Know Nothingism which is
now agitating the public mind. The FIRST
thing that I shallnodee Is, there has been
a game Of euchre, or other words, a game
Of high handed T%ilIainy played off upon a
portion Of the Deersyile council No. 85O.--
Said council is composed of the old Federal
whig party. together with a few honest un.
suspecting Democrats and Ffeesoiiers; the
latter classes having been hoodwinked into
it by those old wireworking federal wing Of.
fee seekers, under the decisions Of anti -Sla.
very, opposition to Roman Catholicism,
Naive Americanism, publication of the bal
lotbox, low taxes, and everything else
which they thought would win until they
had acquired a mass which their knayish
ingenuity was incapable Of governing with
out detection; knowing that honest men
could not remain much longer with them
without becoming partakers with them in
their nocturnal treachery and crime against
correct principles and human liberty. Those
old wing leaders had ptacticed deception
and fr4rdSso long upon the people, that
they finally became alarmed at their own
profigacy, for after having violated then
sacred obligation by Initiating foreigners
into the councils and by placing a foreigner
on the ticket and requiring the sufTrages Of
the same men in his support, whom they
had compelled to sacrifice John Sloan sim
ply on the ground Of his foreign birth, with
out any objection to his politics or religion
andhaving turned the whole force oithei
internal machine in favor of %whiggery anc
none but wings for Office. So, afte
having thus fagrantly violated their obliga
+ tons, they quite naturally became SUSPECT
o1s of those whom they had duped int
their secret conclaye under false pretense,
lest peradyenture the abomination of theii
wickedness might be made manifest, an
themselves sunk into the vortex Of iniqulty
in which they now mrevel, never again to ris
in the confidence Of the people, Therefore
in order to detect those upon whom theil
+ suspicious rested for divulging their hypbc
ricy, when they assembled at the dar.
hours Of night as usual, for the purpose q
} forming a ticket, they went on and made al
t unadulterated wbig ticket: and then wrote
couple of spurious mixed tickets to give I
, those whom they supposed had been reveal
ing. This ticket was mlde and given t
one Of the expected victims on the night 0
the Oath of March, and the other on til,
Il 28th; the old wings using John N, Crow
as their instrument to do the foul deed, VIII,
told those men this was the regular San
} Ticket, and not to show it to any person, e
course they understood him to mean to an,
person out of the order.)
He (CrowD telling them at the sam
time that be was appointed to write tickets
&c. On the Wednesday night following
those men who were supposed to be traitor
attended the council for Aepurpose Of viii
drawing, but while there a certain man VIII
had been initiated that night, asked w
was on the ticket; and was answered by ID
president, Hiram Worstel,' that the del2
gates who formed thu convention wer
sworn no. to reveal the tieket until the NOR
r ming OF the election, but that he wouldthe
be furnished with one. Those men on hea,
that, saw that there was treachery some
: where, and they resolved to await the re
! suit; and on the morning Of the %electio
: finding that their feelings had been thu
tempered with, they resolved. to defeat tf
Y election Of "Sam's' ticket ifpossiDle by CT
%culating the spurious one, but they four
the members posted in regard TO that ma
ter.
One consolation. however, is this, Same
y had polled ore hundred and twenty seve
votes, after enrolling all the outsiders the
! could under the false heads Of Republics
4 ticket, an'i-Nebraska, DC, whilst thu
boast in council of being able to poll OF
hundred and sixty odd independent.
No more al present.
