The Golden Circle.

Il seems that there exists in New Hamp-
shire an organization known as the "Young
Mems Democratic Club," which is supposed
to DO one Of the chain OF associations con-
nccted with tho Knights Of the Golden Cir
clio. Its moro than probable that it is the
bona ide Knights under another name. The
organization in Marlborough has recently
been exposed. and from our New Hampshire
exchanges we learn the particulars Of this
secret "Young Mems Democratic Club, and
the way they support the Constitution.
In May, 1868, il will DO remembered, the
prospects Of the rebels were very Hatteriug |;
the Democracy had been successful in several
elections, and our armies had met with Sc
we're rsvcrses. Washington, N. c., was
strongly besiegsd; the battle Of Chancellors-
vile between Hooker and Lee had taken
place, the National troops being repulsed
with great loss; Col. Streisht with 1900
cavalry had been captured in Alabama the
assaults Of our forces upon Port Hudson and
vicksburs had been repulsed; tho rebels
wore everywhere rampant and aggressive, and
. gloom hung upon the country. and much
confidence hitherto placed in the military
msnsgement,was lost BY Hooksr's disastrous
four days. battle. All will agree that the
time chosen for inauguratins democratic"
measures Of aid and comfort, was very oppor-
tune. and on the 23d OF May the Association
above referred to was formed.
The objects Of this organization are suti-
GENTLY set forth in the resolutions which the
members adopted in July following;
Rs,olrsd. That We will use every exertion to
preserve the Union and Constitution In Its pris-
tine state.
peaccably IL We can, forcibly IL we must.
Resolved, That Il Is the imperative duty OF
every member Of this association to prepare for
R,,oIrsd. That we pledge ourselves and our
honor 10 stand shoulder to shoulder. as band
of brothers, at the time OF the crisis.
Rssolred, That the Secretary be requested to
correspond with the Democratic State Commit.
too. TO ASCERTAIN " u Wouiu opexp~uteua W Sou
\ Peace Conrentioa Of the Demoeratie party,
and solicit the aid ofothsr States.
The reader will perceive. that tho two frs.
resolutions wonderfully agree with tho State
resolves Of the Democratic Conventions both
of Now Hampshire and Maine-Resolved,
That we do so love the Union and the Con-
stitution that we cannot bear to sec them
preserved: hence wc are obliged to dcnounce
al efforts to maintain them.
How much importance is to be attached to
the resolutions of this secret Democratic or
gani.ation in New Hampshire. We do not
now stop to inquire. There can be no doubt
but that these traitors would have had their
"Circles" completed in all the States. had
not tho successes Of our arms in July last,
ovsrswcd them. As circumstances arc. ws
