A Black Hearted Villain.

The Mnsons of Chester, Illinois, have
expelled from their Lodge one DR.. Con
DON, for infamous conduct. The St.
Louis Herald gives the following par
t~iculars of the occurrence
"This Gordon graduated in one of the
medical schools of this city, and remov-
ed to Chester with DR.. Ferris. He has
an amiable wife aud several children
From some cause the son of DR.. Ferris
disliked Gordon, and they remained en-
emies until the death of DR.. Ferris
Gordon then made friends with young
Ferris, and became intimate with a
beautiful young lady to whom he was
engaged to be married. Ferris remov-
cd TO Cincinnati, and, during his alb
senee, Gordon used every art in his
power to seduce the young girl; but,
failing in his hellish design, he admins
tered certain drugs, and hui triumphed
over her virtue By threats of exposure
he enforced her to continue tie cr.min-
al connection, and received from her
letters acknowledging her guilt. A
short time ago +, IRIS returned to Ches
ter, and: thinking his betrothed still in
nocent, married her. Gordon, who had
never really forgiven Ferris the injuries
of tie past, placed a package of his
wife's letters in his way, which told the
whole story of her crime. His frs
thought was to take the life of the de-
stroyer of his peace, but not meeting
him, and refec ting that his wife
might be equally guilty, he left the vii
lage, and has never returned. The ex-
element growing our of the affair was
intepse Han6- the Masons promptly ex-
pelled Goreon from their lodge"

James B., son of Henry Clay,
the great WING Statesman, De

nouncing Know-Nothingism-
At Democrats meeting in Licking
ton, KY, James B. Clay, son of Henry
Clay, madea speech, utterly denuncia-
tory Of the Known othings He will
not support any Of their candidates.-
From his speech We make the following
extract
EMr.C Clay said this was his first effort
At q public speech, and nothing less than
the profound interest which we felt in
the great questions at issue could m
duce him to appear. on this OCCASION
Never before had such extraordinary,
such alarming, such novel questfe%been
presented for the political considerafNn
of the American people. His apprehcn-
sions were aroused in view of them, and
he sometimes tremblcd for the fate of
his country. The idea that this govern
ment was to be taken into the keeping of
q secret, Political, oath-bouAd o~rganiza-
tions, which set up unconstitutional test
oaths, and the members of which were
bound to each other by the most terri
bic obligations, was to him most alarm
ing, and should in his judgment, arouse
the spprehensions of every patriotic man
an the whole country.
"It sought political power, not by
open and fair means, but by secret plot
tings, by cabalistic passwords, by signs
and grips unknown to the people at
large, and in palpable violation of the
whole spirit and genius of the Govern
snent. No, said he, the true platform
of this extraordinary organization is to
be found in their oaths and ritual
There were to be found the things which
they wero sworn to do and carry out
and looking into these oaths and the rit-
ual, he found that their objects were to
strike at citizens offoreign birth, at the
emigrants from other countries-to dis
franchise, degrade and disgrace them
TO deprive them not only of the right to
Americanize themselves, but by cutting
them off from the rights of hospitality
and humanity. They also sought to
disfranchise and degrade another class !
of u citizens, whether ~native-born or
foreign, on account of their religious
opinions, in the plain violation of the
Constitution of the country, and regard
less of the plainest dictates of justice and
humanity. {
