The Raleigh Star, speaking of the action of the
Philadelphia Know Nothing Convention, says the
secrecy of the Order has been dissolved" This
is not true. The platform shows that members may
hereafter make known the existence of the Order,
and the fact that they are members and may also
give information of the places of meeting of subor-
dinate Councils but the signs passwords, grips, de-
grees, and secret meetings still preserved. The
lodges will still meet with closed doors and no man
who has not taken an oath to prescribe and perse-
cute, and to obey implicitly the will of the majority
will be admitted The obligation to tell a. talsehooe
has alone been else has been done
Members are to be relieved hereafter of the weigh
on their consciences of the lie indirect; but tn
question is, what power is to pardon them and cas-
their consciences for the past? They cannot hop
for pardon at the hands of God SO long as they ar
guilty of taking His name in vain.
But they are not sworn nose, it seems, to evade
By what authority does the National Council alb
solve them from their oaths Can that body say
speaking for all who have taken the first secon
and third degrees-that part of what they swor
to in the oahs of these Degrees is no longer bind
