The Know Nothing Ritual for the
Present Term.


We publish below the ritual established
and now in fcrce, according to our informa-
ton. in the know nothing council. How
this revelation was made, perhaps the "ad-
herring members" would like to know. We
can't tell them unless they sill promise to
say nothing about IT. is
1t will be seen BY the ritual that secrecy
Of action is still enjoined, unless the obl;ga-
ton be formally dispensed with to advance
some political scheme, and chat the same
or more outrageous oaIhs are administered
banding the order together.
Can any man, after reading this disclos'
ure, consider the liberties of the country
safe, while such an organization is permit.
tied to aspire to political power? Is itan
wonder that an Order thus impiously or
ganized, should, to avoid defeat, SO readily
resort to the horrible and revolving excessei
Of which know nothingism was guilty a
the polls in Louisville.
Let the voters Of Ohio remember that th'
Democratic party is alone in the geld in op
position to know nothingism. The orde
has its adherents in both the fusion part,
led by Chase, and the movement headed b,
ex- Governor Trimble. The I'emocrac
are arayed against it, and in the triumph o
our cause only can the fanaticism, and big
otry, and outlawry of the dark lantern Oh
der be properly rebuked:--[ Statesman.
