FRIENDS OF THE COUNTRY TO THE RER
cuE.-lD ss much as it is evident that =
secret organization, known as the "Knights
OF the Golden Circle" now exists in this
county, the obi ,ct Of which is the disrup
tlon oil this Government, we would respect
fully recommend to the loyal citizens Of
Harrison county TIE organization of Nsion-
al unicn Associations, IN every township
and village in the county. The basis for
such % organization may be found in the
columns of this paper.
A NATIONAL UNION ASSOCIATION The
loyal citizens of Cadz township are respect
full, but earnestly solicited 10 meet, on next
Friday evening at the rigging Of the bell,
in the Grand Jury room OF the Court House,
for the purpose Of organizing National
Union Association for Cadiz township
Cadiz Republican.
FaJ~ If such thing were possible,
the crimson must have come to the
cheek Of Mr.. Hatton, when lie penned
in the above, the sentence, that cit is
evident that secret political organi-
cation, known as the knights of the
Golden Circle, now exists in this
county" He knew when he was
writing that sentence that he was tell
ing a wilful, malicious and deliberate
falschood, a thing, by tho way, that
he does with more ease than to eat a
meal when he is hungry. He knew
very we'll that no such society exists
or ever did exist in this county, and
his charge is a base SANDER on the
Democratic party of Harrison county.
One of the purposes for which he
wrote the falsehsod was to deceive
lot of ignorant, bigoted Abolition
lists, species of quadrupeds that this
county is very unfortunately troubled
with; and to give an excuse for organ
izing secret Jacobin clubs in different
parts of the county. The party to
which Mr.. Hatton belongs, and labors
for, has become so corrupt and tyran-
nical, that he, with the Government
officials, county office holders and ex-
pectants, in this county, have, after a
great deal of caucussing, come to the
sage conclusion, in order to help save
their sinking party and to cover up
their own corruption, to organize Sc
cret Jacobin clubs, under the misnam-
ed title of "National Union Associa-
ton" The leading object of these
clubs, as shown by their action in
other places, is to threaten and intim-
idate persons and presses from speak
ing of their party and their party s
political actions in the manner they
deserve. But their object in this par
ticuIar will signally fail. Neither
Democrats nor Democratic presses
will cease to expose the disunion, pro-
fiigacy and corruption of Abraham
Lincoln, and his tools or minions, un-
til they are driven from power and
place by an outraged people.
Another object of these Jacobin
clubs is to establish a central despotic
monarchial government-a govern
ment that does away with State au-
thorities and State laws, as the follow
ing test oath, which every person is
bound to take before he can become a
member of these Jacobin clubs, will
show
OBLIGATIoN.--I do solemnly swear (or
affirm that will support, protect and de
fepd the Constitution and Government OF
che United States against all enemies, wheth-
er domestic or foreign, and that / will bear
true faith, allegiance, and loyalty to the
same any ordinance, resolution or law Of
any State Convention or Legislature, to the
contrary Notwithstanding; and, further, that
do this with full determination, pledge
and purpose, without any mental reservation
or evasion whatsoever so help me God.'
The thing was gotten up in Cincin-
natl, by the same men in that city
who took such an active part in get
ting up Know Nothing Lodges in
Ohio, in 1854, and robbing its mem
bers. 1t will, however, soon die out
die of its own rottenness and cor
ruption. We make this prediction,
and we wish it to be placed on record
every respectable man, who joins
these Jacobin clubs, will be ashamed
to acknowledge that he ever was a
member of such den Of infamy and
corruption before twelve months rolls
around. They are gotten up and
started by base corrupt politicians;
men who are cternally seeking office
---men who couldnet get dozen votes
for any Office in any respectable day.
