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!

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. SECOND DEGREE.

The President— Brothers, are you fully conscious of what you have pledged your selves to do, not for to night, but for life time ? Although this brotherhood should die in its infancy, one may be left to demand its fulfillment even in your last agonies of death. Would you leave the smiles of joy. the festive board, and the halls of wealth, for the tear of affliction and want, and ac company him who calls you a brother to any I place he may designate to fulfill your con . tract of this night, knowing that should you refuse, he has the power by appeal to us to demand of you the penalty for perjury, the remnant of years left you and an untime ly departure to death ?

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.
