between Russia and the Allies, (which may be

Before proceeding farther, let me say tina,
this letter is in disguise for good reasons; tina,
ii made known 20 any extent, it would fall like
spark in magazine, and it would require
more skill and 6nesse than Guy Fawkes exer-
cised under King James !, (of ever blessed me-
mory,) for me to remain safe, incog and intact
For two long years there has been secret
and dark influence, beginning from the thrones
Of England and France, winding through the
incumbent Administration, from place to place,
and city TO city, in this country, whose existence
| and tendency is to destroy the excellencies and
liberties of this great Government and make it
. mere appendsge to . new being which shall
rise, Rome like, upon the united forms Of the
two allied nations.
This purpose has proposed to get footing
10 che United States, in the same manner and
to come exten: as did the Order Of Know Moth
ings heretofore. The effort has been on foot,
iand the success which attends it will be terri.
BILE comment upon the patriotic demonstrations
Of every day, when it is generally known that
asecret organization, bound together by French,
English and American gcld, the hopes of plum
der BY such offices as Satraps. Lord Deputies,
Lord Nareschais, &C., and by the most revolt
ing oaths, 10 silently aud mysteriously moving
through these popular scenes, poisoning and
alternating like Pestilence through populous
city, ever since short time after the appear
ance Of MIR. Buchanan at the Court of ST. James,
1t has now firm and extensive footing in all
the American cities. The silence, certainty
and manner with which it has diffused itself over
the country is most ftly and aptly compared to
the appearance and spread of an epidemic.
There is now in the county Of Des Moines a
branch of this organization, composed Of forty
three members and four candidates.
Of the purposes which are set forth full and
complete in the articles of organization, and of
the method Of attaining this end, which is set
forth in the incidental lacs, the procuring Of
members, &C., all Of this will now leave for
another occasion, when shall, with great risk
to myself, inform you of many things pertaining
to this Order (Which are at present not even
suspicioned by the publicl as well as my con-
nection with and information of this matter.
You will remember that when the alliance be.
tween France and England was eventuated, all !
minds in the least familiar with the history OF
those nations, predicted that it would be of
short duration, unless perchance some great
object Of equal Importance to both nations
should be the reason Of their alliance. Remem-
bering the animosty between the excitable
Frenchman and phlegmatic.. Englishman; the
tons since the battle of Hastings, when Edward
III, and his warlike son, Prince Of Wales, made
themselves masters OF Paris; the enormous
ransom; the three hundred years possession OF
Calais; the adoption by Charles, the Dauphin,
and Mary Queen of Scots, Of the title of King
and heirs to the throne of England st. Barthol- |
omew's day, and those times when the pulse of
the English beat for the Huguenots; the wars
Of the Republic, Napoleon l, and the coalitions, !
nil declared this alliance must be OF short du-
ration and the vanity of such league. But all |
those predictions failed. France and England /
anitedly opposed the pretensions Of Russia in |
order that they might dismember and divide
Turkey-the sick man. This bold effort induced |
those nations to try the still holder project
which they are now trying. Since then they
have unitedly attacked the Chinese; uuitedly
have arranged with Penia and their East India
possessions (though the English troubles in that
region OF the world have somewhat retarded
heir intentions in this have unitedly adopted
| similar and united course as to Cuba, and all
south end Central America and England to day,
md the United States secretly are furnishing
unds, which with that Of France, are being
,sed at Cherbourg for the construction and
aunching Of q Navy to assist in the g-ea. pro.
ect which these nations are now intent upon.
The nineteen millions left by Franklin Pierce,
ID in the Treasury, and the present loan, have
Tot all been expended in the ordinary wants of
Government. There is an organization which
erh APPS can tell Of the expenditure of some Of
hese millions.
The present system Of official decapitation is
OF SO much anti Douglas. as it is to push for
rard the objects of this Order by placing the
,embers in power and keeping them there IN.
/ needed. The recent change in the Marshal
hip of Illinois was for that purpose. Mr..
douglas knows Of this Order. He was informed
{ it long ago, and the Governments desired
i'm TO cooperate, prior to Buchanan's inaagu-
alton, with the prospects of his, Douglas cleo
on to the Presidency. Douglas refused, but
9 is in such q position that he dare not reveal
ae matter. 1t was this knowledge that induced
i'm upon the first opportunity to leave Bach-
nan. I.econpton was the first opportunity,
nd Douglas embraced it, thinking by defeating
to prevent the success OF q scheme
hich he dare not for his life expose-ths re-
lection of buchanan and the rendering uasder
i'm this government a dependent upon France
nd England.
