! eB- Mr. Ray, the Lecompton candidate
for Congress in the Indianapolis district,
opened the canvas with violent denuncia-
tons of Know Nothingisni. lie madessit a,
part OF the contest. He dragged it--says
the Indianapolis JournGt--into the canvas
i"hoping that he might profit by the hostility
of naturalized citizens to it. He has used il
constantly and dishonesty, Now he shall
bear. the consequences. Every stump in the
district has heard his bitter denial of
membership in the order, his threat that he
would convict any man of perjury who.
would attempt TO prove il, and his offer of a.
thousand dollars reward to anybody who
could produce proof of it. His denial has
been SO constant and vehement that many
persons almost believed him, in spite of the
satisfactory proof already published. He
has put his whole character for truth and
veracity in the balance. He has pledged it
to the truth of his denial
On this, highly respectable clergyman
"a man of most unimpeachable character
comes forward and makes the following
affidavit, which places Mr. Ray in most
distressing condition:
SHELBYyILLE, Aug. 80, 1858.
This is to certify that was, on or about
the oath night of June, 1854, initiated into
the order commonly called = Know Nothing
Order" in the town of ShelbyvilIe, in COM
pany with VI. VI. Ray. We were both intro
dueed into the ants-room together where
the object and designs Of the order were
made known to u.s. also, that ifany pledges
were required OF us that we could not con-
veniently endorse, we were at liberty To
Withdraw at amy time during the ceremonies
of initiation. Myself and Mr. Ray both
consented to go further into the mysteries
of the order. We were then introduced by
the conductor into the Lodge Room, where
! Judge Peaslec was in tire chair, wien the
| obligations that arc usually administered in
| the Lodges were read by the officers and
repeated by Martin NJ Ray and myself
| both repeating, 1T the same time, the entire
obligation, after which, the entire charge
was read to us by the proper officer. l un-
derStood Mr.. Ray to he perfectly satisfied
with all the whole matter. The above
| statement is correct to the best of my recOl-
lection. [Signcdl WILLIAM MOORE.
