Wholesale EXPOSURE.


LAST week contains home exposure Of theEiongs Of
Know Nothinssm. truly revolving, and calculated 10
scken and disgust the reader with the swicked-
which has taken possession of portitn of the
people. The writer of this exposure is a member Of
the order, and says he is fully prepared substan-
tiate the charges he prefers In alluding lo this ex
posure, the Wing says;
alt is true, as stated in the communication, that
Mr.. RoBIssoN authorized by the Editor of this
paper present his name as a member of the Coun-
c, and we did anything in better tath. We had
mp to that period acted IN consultation with the lea
ding members Of that PartY and sought 10 ADVANCE
is interests because believed that i would prove
powerful ally in warfare upon The Deupcracy.
It's alleged intolerance, in either politics tligion,
uniformly and repeatedly denied, and We had
every reason 10 believe that could act With II
consistently Wing, and that it would eventually
become a part OF the Wing party.
We learned lesson, however, when name got
behind the scenes and when found a hanilul Of
OF the Order. and welding it mere instrument 10
minister TO the wants of starving newspapers and
6Token-down politicians, we did not hesitate 10 de-
noance the system and the record we give inhnoth-
er column fully vindlcates in the we kave
taken.
We could have been connected with the Know
Nothing party both before and after The actionofths
Council have been waited upon repeatedly since,
Il
come member OF the Order but act with
no party where five blackguarls can override as
many hundred respectable men, and where the names
OF men without political MORAL blemish, can be
dragged before the HquIsiioa, without their knowl-
edge Tor he avowrd purpose Of mparng their poll

Council, n the OF Isaac H. McCArLkY, Esq,

Iniure him, we'll Gov. PoLLocK, in the Coaei j.

We were not surprised after the insight we got in
10 the system in December last that the Council
here should even far TO dictate 10 us mem-
bers what papers they should Withdraw their sub
scriPtions from, and what ones they should support.
Such resoiutIon adopted in this Council, as oar
correspondent states, aud copies OF ore red so
be 10 the different Councils of the county. All
thi>-the rejection OF the Editor of this paper in
violation OF all rules, after having been thrice elect
ed-the presentation and rejection oil Mr.. McCAr-
LEY name without his authority or knowledge, and
the passage ol the resolution requesting the members
10 withdraw their support from this paper,-Was done
IN compliance with the earnest begging OF the little
organs friends to keep II from starving! IL did not
pretend TO claim a living support lis own merits
but il coaNed and bued the Councils to take II m
der their especial protection, until hundreds Of ntel
ligent high minded members were driven rom the
party IN disgust.
This series Of outrages upon decency and Justice
perpetrated By SruNBAUGn. EYsrEE, SrREAfY CLsRK
Y Co., has left the Council IN this place but
nal existence. We shall bring forward any necessa-
ry number of men OF undoubted veracity, 10 attest
the correctness of the charges preferred against ii
under the lead of the few demasogues who control IL;
and if there any reputable men still half-clIngng

the force OF popular opinion seek safety by
ly withdrawal. Already a number have done so ;
