The following is an extract from the Memoir
of EKANAH WATSON:

of EKANAH WATSON:
During this period of my residence in North
Carolina, the State was strongly conyulsed by
the agitation of the question Of adopting he
Federal Constitution | embarked with great
zeal and ardor. in advocating its adoption. per
sonally and by numerous contributions to the
press. in Virginia and North Carolina. A Bap-
fist preacher named B. was a candidate for
the State Convention, which was to decide in
that State the great question of acceding to or
rejecting the proposed Constitution. B. was
a prominent leader of the opposition. and with
him | had been engaged in many warm personal
discussions and | in public correspondence
The week previous TO the election | was riding
in company with Major Murfee. who has already
been introduced TO the reader, and a DR.. Garvev,
a warm hearted and energetic Irishman, several
miles in the interior from Winton. when we no.
ticed a paper posted upon a tree which read as
follows: "Noticel-On Wednesday next. at 3
O'Clock. all persons desirous of hearing the new
Constitution explained by Elder BIT, are re
uuested to attend this church in the Woodlands.
18th March. 1888" The time appointed was
only two days previous to the election.
We felt indignant Mt what we deemed an in
sidious attempt to deceive the community, and
determined to be present in order to counteract
his movement. On our arrival we found a hoIse
hitched to every tree about the church, and the
interior of the building crowded. We pressed our
way into a seat a little distance from the pulpit.
B@t had been some time at his ~nefarious
work. explaining the Constitution to suit his I'M
hallowed purposes. He frequently cast a suspi
cious and discontinued eye upon our pew. He
then began to explain the object of the ten miles
square as the contemplated seat of the Govern
ment. 'This. my friends" said the preacher,
twill he walled in or fortified. Here an army OF
so. 900. or perhaps 100. 900 men. will be fnalIy
embodied. and will sally forth and enslave the
people. who will be gradually disarmed."
This absurd assumption set our blood in fer
mentation. strongly excited already by party feel
ing. We consulted a moment. and agreed to
possess ourselves of the seat directly under the
pulpit, and make an effort to discuss the subject
or break M the meeting. We arose together
Carver with the Constitution in his hand, sup.
ported by Murfee on his right and myself on hi.
left. Garvey turned toward BIT. and said IN
q loud voice: sSir. rs to the ten miles square yot
are here he was interrupted by a genera
movement and bur. which instantly sweIlet
into a perfect uproar. At this crisis we were Il
a most critical situation, and only saved from
violence by the personal popularity Of Murfee
who was universally beloved.

A Golden circle OF Abolitionists-Se.
cret military Organization in wis
cOusfu.

cret military Organization an Wis
cOusfn.
For some time past. il has been rumei ed tint a
secret military and political organization had
been establishing lodges in various parts of this
State, for the purpose of controlling elections and
for intimidating the people. We have now sufi
cient facts in our possession not only to confirm
this suspicion, but to show clearly that a delega.
ton, consisting of persons officially connected
with the Interior Department at Washington. has
been sent here to install the officers of the secret
lodges, and to get the machinery in running or
der.
Lod res have been started and officers installed
in Kenotha. Racine. Madison, Milwaukee and
other places, aud the work is still going On. Only
active and reliable Republicans are invited to
join. and no one is admitted until he is supposed
10 be entirely committed in his feelings To the
purpose OF the order.
OF course the general objects of the institution
are declared TO be the support Of the Govern
ment, but the real object. il is understood, is Ia
establish a secret inquisition. with the design of
securing arrest apd imprisonment of every per-
son prominent in opposing the political measures
OF the Administration
Ii is also understood by those who become
members of this diabolical conclave, that a
record of the names of all Democrats is to be
kept, and arms are to be furnished the faithful to
enforce their guilty purposes. We derive our
information from persons who have already
joined The society, or who have been confdentiall-
posted as to lis objects by the principal operators
in the arrangement. 1t is unnecessary to add.
that the members pom initiation are sworn to
secresy in the most solemn form; that they are
invested with signs, grips and passwords whereby
the conspirators may know each other, and that
the organization is. moreover. essentially mill
tary in It's character.
The general secretary of the order is n man
residing in Chicago. by the name of John Trim
bic, Jr., who sends out his Commissioners
rituals. private Instructions. &c to the subOrdi
nate lodges. The chief officer of the Lodge is
called a Colonel; the subordinate officers are
Captains. In a recent secret circular, Trimble
stated that 1.-THE first men of the nation" ap-
prove the organization, and it was intended to
have 100000 persons sworn in by the middle OF
the summer.

Mr.. Conrad offered the following peace pream-

pressed a similar desire.
Now. therefore. the Congress Of the Confede-
rate States. deeply impressed with the conviction
that it is their duty to leave no means untried to
put an end to a contest injurious to the civilized
world and disastrous to the parties engaged, be-
iieving that its proiongation can only tend to en-
bitter and perpetuate feelings of hostility between
States which. however politically disunited must

momentary pause in conflict, a suitable one to ut

The Senate and House OF Representatives of

they will cordially cooperate with the Executive
in any measure IL may adopt. consistent with the
honor, the dignity and Independence of these
States, tending TO a restoration Of peace with all
or with any Of the States Of the Federal Union
The resolution WAS referred. without debate, to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
