Fuu and Authentic Exposition Of its Ritural.
In the various Notices published from time
TO time Of the nominating Councils of the
Know-Nothings, and the Independent Order
of Americans, it has been mentioned that the
result seemed to be controlled and brought
about by an ofyunized clique of persons with
in the order who acted together, and were
thus always able to accomplish their purposes.
Nv the action of this inside clique; many NOM
inations, have been forced upon the Know
Nothing Councils not at all acceptable to the
great body of the members; and as its organ
ization is not known beyond its own limits,
lnany of the Know Nothings have been great
iy puzzled to understand the cause of the
movements they have noticed around them.
The new party, which has been carefully
and deliberately got up on the same plan as
the Know Nothing party, and with the design
of controlling that just as that has controlled
others, is called the seChicaroons," or more
properly, The Templars," and is believed
To comprise at the present time from 5000 to
(; 600 voters in the City and County of New
York. BY operating inside of the Order of
Know Nothings they have succeeded in indu
cncing the action of the Eighth, Eleventh,
Sixtconth and Twentieth Ward Councils.
The entire K. N. Executive is controlled by
tho :, Templars," and they have thirteen
members in the Grand Council of the State of
New-York Previous to the late Convention
o. H.
Syracuse by Messrs BACON, BULLOCK and
WILLIAMs. for the purpose of controlling the
action of the Known Nothing party In this
they were successful, and the entire. g Ameri-
can ticket" as it is called, is merely the tick
.et supported by the " Independent Order of
Odd Americans. e Templars, /" or the Soci-
,ety known by these various titles But chiefly
in its action upon the Order of United Amer
leans, this Organization rendered itself OBJ
uoxious BY packing the various chapter
rooms With its members, they were enabled to
defeat measures which that party deemed ts-
sential to It's welfare. ~ s4
