TItEAsONIN ON rIIlaTl-

Last week, we gave az account Of the
arrest Of FnEpEBtoK CoURr at Marion, a
prominent democrat and "commander"

"Rniehts Of The Golden Circle" We also
published the Internal osths, which the
members arc required to take and the

yond doubt. One Of tho witnesses, Mr..
Martin, is a brothcr-in-law OWN KLINE,
Esq, ofTnin aud is a respectable demo.
crnt in Marion. There can be no doubt Of
the crcdibility Of these witnesses, Tor they
are all democrats aud could have no oeorth-
ly object Ia making the exposure, except
scrsc Of duty.
Il hos been known for somo time that
branches Of this reasonable order existed
in Ohio, but little was said about {, IN the
hope that the officers Of tho law might
ferret Il out and completely expose the
whole thing. This has been done at Ma
riou aud il will doubtless bo followed up
bp numerous arrepts in different places.
This ordrr has been in existence in the
South, for some time, and Il was the
great lever By which the secession ma
chincry was worked II was the germ Of
tronson--tho egg from which the unsight-
ly bird Of prey was Matched. All tho
principal frc-oatcrs Of the South are
doubtless X. G. C's, in good standing. In
thcso lodges the most damnablo schemes
were concocted for tho subycrsion ofthis
yernmcnt-schemes which had their
elimination In the robbery Of U. $. arse
nails, armorics, mints, forts and nOvy-
yards and finally in unshcathing the sword
Of iratricidal wag.
Such s the uuturs Of this monstrous
curse, which has found a lodgomcnt in the
North and which is cropping out oil over
Ohio. Strange that there should be found
in the FREQ and prosperous state Of Ohio
traitors base enough TO bctrny their neigh
bors aud, while honest men sleep, meet
In secret conclave and take such accursed
coths upon their lipsl
