Messrs EDITORS Much has heen said in refer
ence TO the "kRighkS Of tie Golden Circle; the
objects of the association, and its influence in pre-
clpitating rebellion and IFS train of horrors upon
the nation. One of its missions has been to edu.
cate the public mind South up to the standard OF
treason, by series of publications scattered
broadcast over the South and secretly to their
sympathizers in the North, FOR years past. One
such pamphlet of over thirty pages. recently came
under my eye issued bya Citizen of Tennessee,
in Janaury, 1861, printed at Memphis by w. II.

discussion of the slavery question, teaching that
because of the incompatibility of the Southern in
stitution to the education and religion of the North
they must secede i'll order to save slavery from
destruction. The remainde: of the pamphlet, in
