KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE.

The Richmond Whig has published an ad-
dress to the knights of the Golden Circle"
written by their President or leader, George
Brickly. II appears that the Knights are ex-
clusvely of the Southern States, and that their
object is to extend the area OF southern terrific
ry. by annexing aud Amercanizing Mexico.
They are directed to concentrate themselves at
nr near Fort Even on the Rio Nueces in Texas,
by the 18th of September next. To aid the
Knights in this expedition. the people Of Texas
have subscribed the sum of $4s0, 900, and fur
ther subscriptions to an immense amount have
been called for. We quote the following from
he address:
You will comprehend the necessity Of joining
our camp as emigrants--if we cross the Rio
Grande, il must be to become bona fde citizens
of Mexico-under Mexican sanction, open and
above board. aud in accordance with our treaty
stipulationa Bring your wagons mules, oxen,
horses. cattle, spades, axes, instrumental camp
kettles, each two blankets, provisions, and all
things useful TO Mexican emigranL Above
all. let each man have $40 or more 10 specie,
as there will be an excellent opportunity TO in-
YES, il probably immediately on crossing the
Rio Grande. Volunteers who will be accepted
for six or twelve months service must be duly
initiated a, camp. Let none come who do not
mean to do their duty, and will refuse to be
governed by the statute laws OF Texas and OF
the X. G. G. The rear guard will remain 10
camp until October lst. Now let us see on
" HON the South can depend. II | should die,
or be- 10 any way detained, you will dnd officers
of rank and experience to lead you forth. Re
member the X. G. c. do not follow me; they
follow n policy which thus far have had the
honor to dictate. Our work is great enough,
J glorious enough, and promises enough to pay
us ALTO satisfy the most exalted ambition.
IL is useless longer TO attempt 10 disguise the
truth that there are now but two parties--a
Northern and Southern party; the one with
manu- iacturinp. the other with agricultural in-
| terests--aud that the variance is so great that
! "A reconciliation is almost an imposslbility. We
have little OF no interests III common-no love
or confidence in each other. The North has
/ Uopulatiou of twenty millions and an area OF
Two millions. one hundred and three thousand,
| liz hundred aud forty-eight square miles. For
each OF her entire population the North has sew
enty acres of land--while the South for bers has
only forty.Ave. Thus the North has two acres
to our Que. Yet 10 the acquisition of Califor-
MIA New Mexico and ArizOna-400,O0 square
miles-the South furnished IS 90 volunteers.
while the North furnished only 22 500-just one

! II. 500 were our brothers and fathers while
the North lost only 1900. The cost Of the war
WAS S2lO 900 OO0-four ffths of which was paid
by the Cotton States. aud yet the man ofthe
Soulh IL driven from an equal occupancy OF the
lands The Free Soil representation Ia Con

hope to secure the passage oil law that Will
guarantee Southern interests
Now the truth must be apparent to every
thinking man with Mexico Arnercanized and
.Southernized. our area of territory would be
nrary equal to that of the North, including the
! Southern Territories Of Arizona, New Mexico
I aud California. Our population would be equal
10 hers. Besides we should possess advantages

practically doing nothing TO coun'eract these In
