OATH.
I, A B , do hereby solemnly swear ;
that I have correctly answered all the ques
tions just asked me by this body, (name un
known,) which Order I am anxious to join
as an American organization ; and I do sol
emnly swear to fulfill to the extent of my j
power and the best of my ability, the prom
ises I have made here to-night.
[Should any of the candidates refuse to
answer the questions, or not answer them
correctly, the R. A. to P. shall report the
facts and particulars to the President,and the
Secretary shall enter the same on the min
utes, and no other question shall be asked
the other candidates until said person or
persons have retired.]
After all have correctly answered the
questions, the C. will conduct the candidates !
to the \ ice President, who will address them I
as follows :
VICE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
. .mcricans! Have you heard what has
been told you by our well beloved Sentinel, I
and having heard, are you willing to pro- i
ceed } r !
.
Answer-1 am.
Ue informed you that our greatest object
was to watch closely one who would deprive
us of our liberties, and in a way to wound
far deeper even than the treachery of Ar
nold, & name which no American can ever
speak without showing his contempt. Yet
this serpent which has crawled into our
midst, is far more dangerous, and should at
tract more attention than scorn-;—it is Pope
ry which is hovering around, ever ready with
its insidious smile tosuare you uuconacious-
ly into Its snaTOe and having made you its
Victim, you but bccoma its tool to aid its
toasted, tlib Popb, iff conquering the country
left y‘ott by the imuflsml WAsrttfcGTON.—
Tell me Americans! Do you Vrish to become
subjects of the Pope ?
A-No *
Q-Will you join Ug as Anti-Romatt Cath
olics ?
A-Yes.
Q-Will you take oUr oath, which When
taken is EkAdtED Under a penally no
Less THAN YltAt of DeaYH, ahd he Who
breaks his oath with us, or divulges oUr se
crets, Mtist res? Assured thAY he t/Y
SIGNS Hts OWN tt EATIt-WA ft AN T ?
A-I will.
The Vice President then says : Our course
is one whose greatest objects can only be no
accomplished under the cloak of silence and
secrecy, for our enemies are cunning and nu
merous. Who, a few short years ago, would
not have trembled at the idea of Jesuits —
Jesuit churches —Jesuit colleges and monas
teries in this land of freedom ? Yet, who
will deny it at the present day ? And mark
me well, Americans ; few may bo the years
ere we may sec the rack, the scourge and
the inquisition sanctioned and in full play
among us ! while at each corner may be pla
carded a carnival to celebrate the birth day
of a Pope, a Cardinal, or his Highnessf John.
Archbishop of New York, while in each
steamer that arrives from Europe may be
expected a Bcdini, whose object is Ameri
cans, but to make your country an Ireland,
an Italy, or a Spain—a conquered country,
whose revenues would but help to fill the
treasuries of Popery's avaricious grasp
Take heed ere you be too late ! Join with
the defenders of your country in the coming
contest— for come it must, and come it will!
Americans! you have heard our object, will
you take our oath ?
A-I will.
The C. will now conduct the candidates to
the President, who will proceed as follows :
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
Americans! Sons of the Patriot Sires!
Sons of the Puritans and Huguenots who
were driven to this land by Roman Catholic
Proscription, swear by this Holy Book of
God, aud keep word for word your oath.—
Look up to Heaven and ask of the recording
angel to record of each of you this solemn
obligation, to be takeu by each of you as it
has been taken by each of us, freely and
without hesitation or persuasion of friends,
or other motives. Ask Heaven to sanction
your vow, and feel for once, should you
break it, that even the clemency cf Him who
.. doetli all things well,” might not wipe out
your sins Will you proceed ?
A-I will.
You will then repeat after me, using your
own name where I use mine.
I, A B , do solemnly and sincerely
swear by the ashes of my martyred sires, by
every bloodstained link of that chain of ty
ranny which the men of 73 burst asunder,
that I will never permit the holy heritage of
liberty to be torn from me or my children
l will protect the holy legacy bequeathed to
me by my fathers, which means the price
less jewel of freedom, if necessary, with my
life, against the aims of the Pope and of his
hirelings, now hovering arouLd us in this
my native country.
Aud furthermore, 1 swear to stand by,
protect and further in every respect my
country’s interests, either for her institu
tions or at the ballot box, allowing none but
Americans to rule and govern these United
States, if in my power to prevent it, consid
ering foreign influence, Roman Catholicism
and Jesuitical power as something claiming
my attention as the bitterest enemies ol our
country.
And furthermore, upon all calls of assis
tance, all notices of attendance, or signs of
meeting or other calls from this Order or its
officers, or its Congress, I solemnly swear to
OBEY ITS DICTATION, ALTHOUGH IT MAY
lead to my death, and upon all signs of
alarm from a brother of this fraternity, 1
SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO K UNDER HIM ALL
THE ASSISTANCE IN MY POWER, AND IF NE
CESSARY, TO USE VIOLENT MEANS FOR HIS
protection. Ido solemnly swear not to
shrink when called : and although his foe
should be my best friend , I will give him
my aid in that brother's protection, and next
after a brother, to look upon an American
as my equal, respecting him as such, (and
in all cases giving my personal preference
to him or them in matters of business what
soever, even to the lowest] Ido most sol
emnly and sincerely swear profound secrecy
to all things prosecuted here, not even lisp
ing, marking, cutting, carving, staining, or
permitting it to be done by others if in my
power to prevent it, its name, its purposes,
or its locality, except to him or them who,
after due examination, I should find to be a
brother of this fraternity. And should I
discover a brother has betrayed his secrets, 1
will, without hesitation, self-interest, or e
quivocation, make known and denounce him
to this brotherhood, as a wilful traitor, un
der the no less penalty of being considered
an accomplice, even worse than Arnold, who
was a traitor to his country for British gold
I do solemnly swear to abide by and support
the government of this order, and to recog
nize the authority of the President and oth
er officers of the Jfcg- of that, the authority
of the grand 0!r against all who may wish
to subvert it. And having sworn to all
these, I now salute the Sword and the Holy
Record, knowing should I betray my secret,
to find a record of my treachery in the one,
and in the other my death. And as I do
my duty there, so may God help mo on the
Judgment Day.
The newly initiated members will now have
their names, residences and occupations reg
istered in the Secretary’s book.
C. iwll then conduct them to the Judge
Advocate, who will give then the signs,
grips, &c.
The collection will now be taken up and
the regular order of business proceeded with.

remain in the ante-room until the Conduc

“ Still they come !”
Cass County, Ga., September 18, 1855.
Messrs. Editors: 1 have become satisfied that
it is du.‘ to myself, as well as to my country, to
withdraw from the political organization com*
monly culled Know Nothings, and in doing so
I must state that its aims, objects and principles
are far from those which induced me to joiu it,
and, if known before joining, would be sufficient
to make any true lover of freedom stand aloof
from the rottenness of Know Nothingism. I
have ever been a freeman, in regard to voting
for whom I pleased, until I became a member
ofa Know Nothing lodge. I was initiated by
an oath, and one of the strongest ever taken by
mortal man, binding me to support the party,
right or wrong. I now inform the proper of*
fiers of the Lodge at Euharlee that I wish them
to erase my name from the Books, for I know it
is wrong and corrupt in its principles, and I now
call upon all true patriots and lovers of their
country, to come out of the foul and dark Lan
tern crowd, and rally under the standard of Lib
erty, aud the cause ofour com mov country.
