Vice President.-You have now taken solemn
oaths and made as sacred promises as man can
make, that you will keep all our secrets invio
late; and we with you distinctly understand that
that takes these oaths and makes these promises,
and then violates them, leaves the foul, the deep
and blight ing stain of perjury resting on his
• soul.
President— (Having seated all by one blow
ofthegaeil.)—Brother Instructor, these new
brothers having complied with the demands of
the order, are entitled to the secrets and privil
eges of the same. You, will, therefore, invest
them, with everything appertaining to the. first
degree.
Instructor— Brothers: the practices and pro
ceedings in our order are as follows:
We nave pass-words necessary to lie used to
' obtain admission to our councils; forms for our
conduct while there; means of recognizing each
other when abroad; means of mutual protection;
and methods for giving notices to members.
At the outer door you will* (make anyordin
! ary alarm to attract the notice of the outside sen
tinel.)
When the wicket is opened you will • pro
nounce the (words —what's the pass,) in a whis
per. The outside sentinel will reply (Give it,)
when you will give the term pass-word and be
admitted to the ante-room. You will then pro-
need to the inner door and give (one rap.)—
When the wicket is opened, give your name,
the number of, and location of your council, the
explanation of the won! pass, and the degree
pass-word.
If these be found correct, you will be admit
ted ; if not, your name will be reported to the
Vice President, and must be properly vouched
for before you can gain admission to the coun
cil. You will then proceed to the centre of the
room and address the (President) with the coun
tersign, which is performed thus, (placing the
right hand diagonally across the mouth.) When
this salutation is recognised, you will quietly
take your seat.
This sign is peculiar to this degree, and is
never to be used outside of the council room, i
nor during the conferring of this degree. Wlien |
retiring, you will address the ( Vice President) in I
the same manner, and also give the degree pass
word to the inside sentinel.
The ” term pass-word ” is (Be are.)
[The pass-word and explunation is to lie es
tablished by each State Council for its respec
tive subordinates.]
The "explanation" of the “term-pass." to
uswl at the inner door, is (our country's hope.
The “degree pass-word” is (Native.)
The "travelling pass-word” is ( The memory
of our pilgrim father's.)
[This word is changed annually by the Pres
ident of the National Council of the United
States, and is to be made and used only when
the brother is travelling beyond the jurisdiction
of his own State, District or Territory. It and
all other pass-words, must be communicated in
a whisper, mid no brother is entitled to commu
nicate them to another, without authority from
the presiding officer.]
The "sign of recognition’’ is (grasping the
right lappel of the coat with the right hand, the
fore finger being extended inwards.)
The " answer ” is given by (a similar action
with the left hand.)
The “grip" is given by (an ordinary shake
OJ the hand.)

Brothers, you are now initiated into and |
made acquainted with the work and organiza
tion of a council of this degree of the order ;
and the Marshal will pjesent you to the worthy
President for admonition.
President.— lt has, no doubt, been iong ap
parent to you, brothers, that foreign influence
and Roman Catholicism have been making
steady and alarming progress in our country.—
You cannot have failed to observe the signifi
cant transition of the foreigner and Romanist
from a character quiet, retiring, and even allject.
to one bold, threatening, turbulent and despotic
in its appearance and assumptions. You must
have become alarmed at the systematic and
rapidly augmenting power of these dangerous
and unnatural elements of our national condi
tion. So is it, brothers, with others besides
yourselves in every State of the Union. A
sense of danger has struck the great heart of
the nation. In every city, town and hamlet,
the danger has been seen and the alarm sound
ed. And hence true men have devised this or
der as a means of disseminating patriotic prin
ciples, of keeping alive the fire of national vir
tue, of fostering the national intelligence, and
of advancing American and the American in
terest on the one side, and on the other of
checking the strides of the foreigner or alien,
or thwarting the machinations and subverting
the deadly plans of the Papist and Jesuit.
Note.—The President shall impress upon
the initiates the importance of secrecy, the
manner of proceeding in recommending candi
dates for initiation, and the responsibility of the
duties which they have assumed.
Second Degree Council.
Marshal.— Worthy President: These broth
ers have been duly elected to the second degree
of this order. I present them to you for obli
gation.
President.— Brothers: You will place your
left hand upnn your right breast, aim extend
your right hand towards the. flag of your coun
try, preparatory to obligation. (Each council
room should have a neat American flag fes
tooned over the platform of the President.)
Obligation.
You, and each of you, of your own free will
and accord, in the presence of Almighty God
and these witnesses, your left hand resting upon
your right breast, and your right hand extended
to the flag of your country, do solemnly and
sincerely swear, that you w ill not under any cir
cumstances disclose in any manner, nor suffer it
to be done by others, if in your power to pre
vent it, the name, signs, pass-words, or other se
crets of this degree, except in open council for
the purpose of instruction ; that you will in all
things conform to all the rules and regulations
of this Order, and to the constitution and bye
laws of this or any other council to which you
may lx* attached, so long as they do not conflict
with the Constitution of the United States, nor
that of the State in which you reside; that you
will under all circumstances, if in your power
so to do, attend to all regular signs or summons
that may be thrown or sent to you by a broth
er of this or any other degree of this order;
that you will support in all political matters,
for all political offices, members of this order
in preference to other persons; that if they
may be done legally, you will, when elected or
appointed to any official station conferring on
you the power to do so, remove all foreigners,
aliens or Roman Catholics from office or place,
and that you will in no case appoint such to
any office or place in your gift. You do also
promise and swear that this and all other obli
gations which you have previously taken in this
order, shall ever be kept through life sacred
and inviolate. All this you promise and de
clare, as Americans, to sustain and abide by,
without any hesitation or mental reservation
whatever. So help you God and keep you
steadfast.
iEach will answer, “1 do.”)
’resident.— Brother Marshall, you will now
present the brothers to the Instructor for instruc
tions in the second degree of the order.
Marshal.— Brother, Instructor, by direction
of our worthy President, 1 present these broth
ers before you that you may instruct them in the
secrets and mysteries of the second degree of the
order.
Instructor. — Brothers, in this degree wT have
an entering sign and a countersign. At the
outer door proceed (as in the first degree.) At
the inner door you will make (two raps.) and pro
ceed as in the first degree, giving the second de
gree password, which is (American.) instead of
that of the first degree. If found to be correct,
you will then be admitted, and proceed (to the
centre of the room.) giving the countersign,
which is made thus (extending the right arm to
the national flag over the president, the palutn
of the hand being upwartls.)
The sign of rccoguization in this degree is the
same as in the first degree, with the addition of
(the middle finger,) and the response to be made
in a (similar maimer.)
Marshal, you will now present the brothers to
the worthy President for admonition.
Marshal.— Worthy President. I now present
these candidates to you for admonit ion.
President. — Brothers you are now duly initi
ated into the second degree of this order. Re- i
newing the congratulations which we extend to
you upon your admission to the first degree, we
admonish you by every tie that may nerve pa
triots, to aid us in our efforts to restore the poli
tical institutions of our country to their original
purity. Begin with th youth of our land. In
stil into their minds the lessons of our country 's
history—the glorious battles and the brilliant
deeds of patriotism of our fathers, through which
we received the inestimable blessings of civil j
and religious liberty. Point them to the exam
ple of the sages and the statesmen who founded |
our government. Implant in their bosoms an
ardent love for the Union. Above all else, keep
alive in their bosoms the memory, the maxims,
and the deathless example of our illustrious
W ashington.
Brothers, recalling to your minds the solemn
obligations which you have severally taken in
this first degree. I now pronounce you entitled to
all the privileges of membership in th< sv-eouvl
degree of our Order.

Brothers, it is with great pleasure that I
congratulate you upon your advancement to

and weighty than those which preceded, and
are committed to such as have been tried and
found worthy. Our obligations are intended as
solemn avowals of our duty to the land that
gave us birth : to the memories of our fathers
and to the happiness and welfare of our children.
Oonseerating to your country a spirit unselfish
and a fidelity like that which distinguished the
patriots of the Revolution, you have pledged your

we trust will endure forever. Your deport
ment since your initiation has attested your
devotion to the principles we desire to establish,
and has inspired a confidence in your patriotism
of which we can give no higher proof than your
reception here.
The dangers which threaten American Lib
erty arise from foes without and enemies with

and nature of our most imminent peril, and in
dicated the first measure of safety. The second
degree defined the next means by which, in
coming time, such assaulte may be rendered
harmles. The third degree, which you have
just received, not only reiterates the lessons of
the other two. but it is intended to avoid and
provide for a more remote but no less terrible I
danger, from domestic enemies to our free in-1
stitutions. I
Our objhct is briefly this: —to perfect an or-1
ganization modelled after that of the Constitu
tion of the ( nititl State's, and co-existive:
with the confederacy. Its object and pritici-,
pies, in all matters of national concern, to be I
uniform and identical, whilst in all local mat-I
tors the component parts shall remain indepen- •
dent and sovereign within their resjiective lim-1
its.
The great result to be attained—the only i
one which can secure a perfect guaranty as to I
our future —is UNION : permanent, enduring. I
fratern.il UNION I—Allow me, then, to im
press upon your minds and memories the I
touching sentiments of the Father of his Conn-'
trv. in his farewell address:
■The unity of government which constitutes
vou one people," says Washington, “is justly ■
dear to you. for it is the main pillar in the edi- j
fice of your real independence, the support of!
your tranquility at home, of your peace abroad. |
I .>f your safety, your pros]>ersty—even that lib- ;
I erty you so justly prize.
i * * It is of infinite moment
j that you should properly estimate the immense;
! value of your National Union, to your collcct
-1 ive and' individual happiness. You should
i cherish a cordial, habitual and immoveable at
tachment to it ; accustoming yourselves to
; think of it, us the palladium of your political
safety and prosperity : watching for its pre
: serration.with jealous anxiety, discountenancing
I whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it
; can in any event lie abandoned : and indignant
i ly frowning upon the dawning of every attempt
Ito alienate any portion of our country from the
rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now
bind together the various parts."

A Little Too Punctual.
BY THE OLD ’t’S.
'
ihe hour was approaching for the departure
oi the New Haven steam oat from her berth at •
New } ork, and the usual crowd of passengers •
and friends of passengers, news, boys, fruit vend- !
dors, cab men and dock loafers, were assembled •
on and about the boat. We were at the :
motley group, from the foot of the promenade :
deck stairs, when our attention was attracted
by the singular action of a tall, brown Yankee i
in an immense wool hat. chocolate colored coat 1
and pantaloons, and a fancy vest. He stood near i
the starboard paddlebox, and scrutinized sharply
every female who came on board, every now and .
then consulting an enormous bull’s eye watch’ ■
which he raised from the depths of a capacious
fob, by means of a powerful steel chain. After 1
mounting guard in this manner, he hashed I
furiously down the gang plank and up the
plank and up the wharf, re-appearing on board :
almost instantaneously, with a finished face, ex- !
pressing the most intense anxiety. This series :
ot operation he performed several times, after i
which he rushed about the boat, wildly and hope- i
lessly, ejaculating:
“What’s the time of day? Wonder if my re
peater’s fast? Whar’s the cap'n? Whar’s the
steward *! Whar’s the boss that owns the j
ship?”
“What’s the matter, sir?” we ventured to ask '
him, when he stood for moment.
“Han’t seen nothin’ of a gal in a blue sun bon-1
net, with a white Canton crape shawl (cost fifteen I
dollars,) pink gown, and brown bools, hey? come ■
aboard while 1 was looking for the cap’n at the -
pint eend of the ship—have ye? hey?’*
“No such person has come aboard.”
“Tormented lightning! she’s my wife!” he
screamed; “married her yesterday. All her trunk
and mine are abroad, under the pile of baggage
as tall as a Connecticut steeple. The darn'd
black nigger says he can't hand it out. aial 1
won’t leave my baggage, any how. My wife—
only think on it—w’as to have come aboard at
half-past fom, and here it's most fivs. What’s
become of her! she can’t have eloped. We hain’t
been married long enough for that. You don't
think she’s been abducted, de ye, mister ? j
Speck ! answer ? won’t ye? O! I’m ravin’ dis
tracted ! What are they ringing that bell for!
Is the ship afire?”
<: lt is the signal for departure —the first
bell. The second will he rung in four min
utes.”
“Thunder! you dont say so! Whar’s the
cap’n!”
“That gentleman in the blue coat.
The Yankee darted to the captain’s side.
Cap’ll, stop the ship for ten minutes, wont
ye’"
“I can’t do it, sir.”
“But ye must, I tell you. 111 pay you for it'
How much will ye tax!"
“I can’t do it, sir."
“But ye must, I tell you. I’ll pay you for it.
How much will you tax!"
“I could not doit."
■‘Cap’n, I’ll give you tew dollars,’’ gasped the I
Yankee.
The captain shook his head.
“I'l give ye five dollars and a halt—and a
half!—and a half!—and a half!" he kept re
pealing, dancina about in his agony, like ii mad
jackass on a hot iron plate.
“The boat starts at five precisely. ” said the
captain, shortly, and turned away.
“O, you stunny-tiearted heathin!" murmur-1
ed the Y’ankee, almost bursting into tears.—
“Partin’ man and wife, and we justone day mar
ried."
At this moment the huge paddle wheels be
gan to paw the water, and the walking beam
descended heavily, shaking the huge fabric to
her centre. All who were not going to New
Haven went ashore. The hands began to haul
in the gang planks; the fasts are already cast.
loose.
“Leggo that plank!" roared the Yankee, colt
taring one of the hands. “Drop it like a hot po- ;
tatoc, or I’ll heave you into the dock."
“Yo—yo!” shouted the men in a chorus, as,
they heaved on the gangway.
: “Shut up, you braying donkeys," yelled the I
I maddened Y ankee,“or there’ll be an ugly soot of j
! work."
i But the plank was got aboard, and the boat ’
1 splashed past the pier.
In an instant the Y’ankee pulled oil' his coat, >
flung his hat beside it on the deck, and rushed’
wildly to the guard.
I “Are you drunk or crazy!” cried a passenger I
seizing him.
■ “I’m goin’ to fling myself into the dock and '
■ swim ashore! cried the Y’ankee-. I must*nt
leave Sairy Ann alone in New Y ork city. You
| may divide the baggage among ye. Leggo me! I
i 1 can swim."
He struggled so furiously that the consequen-;
; ces ot his rashness might have been fatal, had
i not a sudden apparition changed his purpose-—j
j A very pretty young woman in a blue bonnet
’ white Canton crape shawl, pink dress and brown, |
’ boots came towards him.
The big brown Yakee uttered one stentorian i
j shout oi “Sairy Anu!" clasped her in his arms, ’
in spite of her struggling and kissed her heartily ’
i right before ail the passengers.
I “ Where did you come irom," he inqqired ;
I “From the ladies cabin," answered tile bride..
“ Y’ou told me half past four, but 1 thought I’d I
. i make sure and come at four."
“A little too punctual!” said die Yankee.—
' “But it's all right now. Halloo, cap’n, you can
go ahead now. I don’t care about stopping.
. Came nigh losing the passage money and the
baggage—come nigh getting drowned, Sairy, all
along «»i v«»n —bnL itnil fight n.iv». "h-id

O, the summer night
Hath a smile of light,
And she sits on a sapphire throne.
Whilst the sweet winds load her
With the garlands of odor
From the bud of the rose o’erblown!
But the autumn night
Has a piercing sight,
And a step both strong and free;
And a voice of wonder
Like the wrath of thunder
W hen he shouts to the stormy sea.
And the wintry night
Is all cold and white,
And she singeth a song of pain,
Till the wild bee hummeth.
And the warm spring cometh.
When she dies in a dream of rain.
O, the night! the night!
Tis a lovely sight,
W hatever the clime or time;
For sorrow then spareth,
And the loveroutpoureth
His soul in a star-bright rhyme.
It bringeth sleep
To the forest deep,
The forest-bird to its nest;
To care bright hours,
And dreams of flowers,
And that balm to the weary, rest!

Romantic. —The following thrilling extract is I
taken from an unpublished romance:
“Listen to me, Gasparado. When first 1 met;
the lady Arabella in the brilliant saloon of the ,
Count <le Pompereno, I was struck with the spir
itual lustre of her drove like eyes. In short, my
friend; I loved her, although I knew nothing of
her birth, fortune or station. ’Twas one moon
light eve, in the garden oi the old chateau, when
I pressed her to become my own, my cherished
bride. She shrank from me, saying:
“ Y’ou knowest not who I am.”
“I care not,” said I, passionately.
“Then I do!’* cried she in a piercing tone. "1 j
am your unknown washerwoman, and I d thank I
you to pay me for the six pieces I washed for |
you last week.” |
“Gasparado, I left forever the sunny clime of I
Italy a broken hearted man.”
A package of old love letters recently
brought a man ?20,000 in Bristol, Eng
land. His first flame married another man,
and he himself also married, but retained
the letters of his first love, against an
occasional remonstrance ot his wife.
After some years, the writer ofthe letters
died a widow, leaving her old lover 820,-

to prove his identity. The wife is now
glad she was not allowed to burn the evi
dence of her husband’s early affection for ;

The Contest in Maine. —We ha 3
received a letter from a distinguised Whig
in Maine, giving a concise description ot
the political condition of that State. It
appears that a fusion has been made . be-:
tween the know-nothings, abolitionists,
ramrods, and all other items, against the
old-line democrats and old line-whigs who
have nominated separate tickets. This |
fusion was expected, as the Know Noth- j
ings of the Noathern States have general-1
ly stricken the slavery’ plank from their j
platform as made at Philadelphia, and
have thrown themselves bodily into the >
arms of tlte abolitionists, who have no par-1

july 28, ’55, daw-ly.
WANTED, 20,008 Subscribers!
NEW PROSPECTUS
UF THE
ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER
A New Southern Enterprise!
SUBSCRIPTION ONLY
One Dollar per annum.
The WtotKLY Examinrr will after the first day
of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the
low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, payn
able invariably in advance.
Many reasons have induced the proprietor ot
this paper tp embark in an enterprise never be
fore attempted in the South, and which has
proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery
States North and West, but has received a pat
ronage in the Slave States, that had better be con
fined, though at greater expense, to the South
ern Press.
To obviate, then, the objection, as far as we
can, to the price of tho Weekly Examiner, we
from and alter the period designated willforwatd
it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and
this will place it within the reach of the poor, as
well as the rich.
To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner
will be devoted. Our position in regard to the
first is already well understood. It is unnecessa
ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains
and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI
KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and
the Union, to which the South can look, with
confidence, to the maintenance of her ryjhts, and
a strict adherence to the Constitution.
The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper
shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the
South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra
ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of
NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad
vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX
AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers,
who, in the main, subscribe tor weekly papers
! only.
The Literary and Miscellaneous Department
will also receive a large share of attention.
During the session of our Legislature, one ot
the Editors will be present to report the proceed
ings of that Body, for the Daily Examiner—these
reports will be transferred to the weekly and each
subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history
of tho session.
A correspondent to furnish tho proceedings of
I Congress, and a New York correspondent, have
also been engaged. In short, every thing that
can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper,
will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam
iner.
A large and fine assortment of new type has
been ordered, and is now on its way from New
York. We hope to receive it in time for our
next week’s issue, when not only will the ap
pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly
improved, but a large quantity of reading matter
will be added to both.
In adventuring upon this nov 1 enterprise—one
so important to Georgia, and the South—the Pro
prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the
first established paper in tho State, or the South,
with a large circulation, that has reduced its
terms, that it rnay be within the reach of any man.
As such, it is hoped and believed that the enter
prise will prosper.
We appeal then to the people to subscribe;
particularly do wc call upon the DEMOCRACY
and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to standby
I us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun
; dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed
I paper equal in its every department, to any week
j y Southern paper.
