I ncg Lave in the first place to express to he Committee my sincere gratification, that tiif pouular brauch of the Lerislaturc has seen Ll i promptly to respond to this portion of i Aiiy uHiswe, aoa to msutute an investigation reiaave to the matters therein briefly cousider- . d.

I siuotrdy Lope that no titao mar be lost, - and no proper elfurt? spared, ia eliciting the truth in relation to the subject inatter of the . pr'-fioeou inquiry. I regret to perceive from the language of the resolutions of the House, as well as from . ihe debate to which they give rise, that tome misapprehension Rceined to exist in the minds f eome of the members of the House of Del- . ojiHtes, as to the particular sosieties intended . "ijoraced ty that part of the message ;j i;y. -jar Committee. The. exis- vaoe oi fxt uit;uv8j ubioaiiotu? ia w I own and other States, has for somo time occu pied a large share of public attention, and has become a matter of public notoriety, that, with my clear and decided convictions of their j dangerons tendencies, 1 felt it my imperative duty, as the Executive of this State, to bring to the notice of the Legislature, and through that body to the people of the State, the opin ions entertained by me of the policy of encour aging associations for political purposes, so prrguant of mischief to the common weal. I thought the language employed for the purposo free from all ambiguity; it was cer tainly intended so to be ; and I was a. much surprised at finding myself misunderstood as I was at learning that the fact of the existence of sUtih societies was any longer a inatter of do':bt or uncertainty. 1 hope, however, that in this communication I may be more fortunate, and that your Committee may be at no loss to discover to what political societies T referied. or the purposes for which it is alleged they were instituted. I intended in the part of the "Message refer red by your Committee respectfully to call the attention of the representatives of the peopla to the fact of the existence of any and all secret political societies or combinations ; and to ex press the opinion that, in my judgment, such associations of themselves are calculated to produce great evil, aud are inconsistent with, and injurious to, the healthful action of Re publican institutions ; and that when the pur pose of such societies is to reduce a large por tion of the people to the condition of a slavish submission to their pecret edicts and decrees, and to exclude from all honorable preferment the Catholic and naturalized citizen, they be come dangerous in the extreme, and should awaken the deep solicitude in every true Amer ican in the State. I am credibly informed by a large number of citizens, that in their opinion and belief, there exists now within this State numerous societies of a secret character, whose object and purpose is to prevent the election cr ap pointment to office of any person belonging to the Horn an Catholic Church, or who is uot a native-born citizen of the United States;' and that in such secret associations, councils or lodges, oaths, pledges aud obligations are ad ministered to effect this object. The existence of 6uch unlawful combina tions throughout the States has been repeatedly charged in the. Congress of the United States, iu the Legislatures of one or more of the StaUs, and by a large portion of the pre-s and people iu every section of the couutry. The fact is moreover evidenced by disclosures made in the Legislature of a sister State, and by many members of the " Urder," who having been thoughtlessly and innocently drawu into it, and finding they were deceived as to its purposes, have answered the suggestions of conscience by adjuring the oaths and obliga tions therein illegally admioistered. With yoa, gentlemen, abides, under the sanction of the House of Delegat -s, the powt r of ascertaining the truth or tality of these allegations. 1 am powerless iu the premises, beyond the making knowu to you what I fear and believe in regard to them. You, however, are in the exercise of the power conferred upon you. to send for persons an-J papers, and to examine persons under oath, as to the existence of secret societies, and tho ends thej' propose to accomplish, may bring before you the living witnesses, and the record proof which can effectually set at rest the questions at issue. It will give me great pleasure to facilitate, by all the meaus in my power, the objects for which your Committee was raised ; and in compliance with the request in your note of yesterday, I respectfully sug gest that you take means to procure copies of th following papers, entitled as follows, viz : " The Constitution of the .National Council of I .1. tt I e?. . c xr i I me uuneu ciai.es oi tunn 'vn;erica, ami the accompanying "Constitution for the gov ernment of subordinate Councils;' "The Constitution of the North Caroliua State Council, adopted January 18th, 1855;" an address adopted in the State Council of Mas- sachusoUs, June li'Jth, 1S55; resolves of the i State Council of South Carolina, adopted at a meeting hdd at Charleston, Auust 14th, 1855; copies of which papers, 1 regret, I have not at hand to lay be-fore you. 1 have no doubt, however, the Committee will be able, if they desire it, to procure them. 1 would further respectfully suggest that you summou before you the delegates from this State, to the Convention, said to have been held at the city of Cincinnati about th.i close of the year 1851, aud also the delegates from this State to the National Council hel I at the city of Philadelphia in the mouth of June last. This last body, whose proceedings are said to have been conducted iu secret, is.-ued what purports to be a platform of principles, to which I would respectfully refer you. I do so, because the Sth section of said publication, the policy of the Roman Catholic Church ia our country is denounced as aggressive, and ! an organised political resistauce to those of the Catholic faith plainly indicated and en couraged ; thus introducing " religious issues into the field of political agitatiou." The 14th section of this platform declares " that all the prinajples of the order shall be ltn:forth everywhere openly avowed that each member shall be at liberty to make known the existence cf the order, aud the fact that ho himself is a member, and it recommends that dure Ic no com ealment of the place of meeting of subordinate Councils." Here we have the most conclusive proof that to the date of publication of this plat form everything connected with the " order" was a matter of secrecy ; its members bound to conceal its existence, and their connection with it, and from the speciQc statements above quoted of what its members are now " at liberty" to reveal, the conclusion is inevitable that there is still left, that, which they are jjot allowed to disclcme to the uninitiated. I farther Euggest that you Eumraon before you such pereons of respectability as are now known to m Ik;? rxxu?i wi-tJ; tli ergT nd also others who are now member of the same, and that you seek to have produced before you the secret work of ritual of any secret political order, as may be ic the posses sion of any State or subordinate Council in this State, or of any agent or officer of the same. . ' - Should your enquuies result, as I trust they may, in satisfying the public mind that there are no such secret political combinations, or that no oath, obligations or pledges are ad ministered in such councils, to the prejudice of any class of American citizens, and that there docs not exist any design or purpose in such societies to trouble, molest or discoun tenance," rv to exclude from preferment, or office, any citizen in consequence of the reli gion he professes, or the place of his nativity, rio out? will be uiore pleased, thau myself, aud none more ready to acknowledge that injustice has been done to a large class of our people. If, however, the proofs adduced before your Committee shall conclusively establish that secret political councils have been organised mion u f r the purposes and designs attri bute'! to th-ni, I hu'uMv conceive that there csn Ve little or no divcrt v of opinion as to their t;: ;-nov to subvert "the wll-established and de-irly ch-rinh 'd pr:ueSp!es of our Gov ernment." The Constitution degrades no man, either on account of his place of birth, or his religious opinions, but equally covers every citizen of the State, of whatever faith, "or wherever lorn, with its protecting shield. And if it shall bo mado to appear that in such of these political councils as may b shown to exist, oaths or pledges are administered for the purpose of qualifying or restraining the exercise of the right of suffrage, in any man ner known to, or unwarranted by the Consti tution, it will be for you and those j-ou repre sent, to determine how far such obligations shall be allowed to conflict with the constitu tional obligations of the citizens to the State, and to nppV the remedy which such a condi tion of things in. ay n quire. It miirht be well to consider, that while this matter is uudergoins investigation, whether the existence of such a secret order may not have ltd in some instances t." pre-detrmined obstruction of the polls, resulting iu violence aiid Jisordei, and the ex-iiii o of the legal votes of orderly and weU-dh-pnsod citiz-ns; for it is one of the ui"st imperative of the duties of the State to throw around electors of every class, whether native or adopted, ev ry possible means of protection against anyand all combinations, s-cret or oen, that would hinder or overawe them in th exercise of their right, of voting, and thus impede the free course of the only legitimate means of obtaining a fair expression of the public mind. A wilful and deliberate obstruction of the polls is a crime against the State, wliich in view of its consequences, assumes a degree of enormitv to which it is dilh iult to ainx u hunt, v to wnicti it. is uun-iuic u amx uiitmt, r- Legislature, can carceiy bo too riaid Product of a la infliction of puoi8hiuciit''dptb3aeh"bsJtbr y be found gmlry of sueh an offence lbi P3' cetuJ F"OJ aud the in tne l who may be found guilry agaiurt the dignity of the State and the right of the individual citizen. It should at least be declared a felony, and punished according ly. I hope, whatever may be the result of jour present investigation, that you commend such action to the favorable notice of the Legislature, in order that henceforth any hindrance or obstruction whatsoever, with in tent to prevent a voter from depositing his ballot, shall be punished with due severity. I have thus, sir, in the midst of unusual and constant interruptions, (not wishing to detain you from the work before you by any delay on my part,) hastily thrown together these few suggestions in compliance with the request contained in your note to which this is a reply. I might have forborne to do more than to reiterate here the language of my communication to the Legislature at the open ing of the session, as containing all I desired to say in the premises ; but. in conformity with the wish expressed in your note and the accompanying resolutions of the Houe of Delegates, I thought it well to point out the way iu which, in 1113' opinion, the truth might be reached I have tli3 honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, T. Watkixs Liuon. To the People of tfce Northern States. There is a principle which has ever hdd a controlling influence iu the Diplomacy of Eug- I Ml her co muter riul interests. Whatever she has engaged in, t will always be fouud t tie iiioct imp oriaiit end sought to be attained. Tru.! Ms may suee.-ed in induciug, with uu obseivatit n.i'.j i.- , a U:lu f that she is prompted by philan;Li py, but time nas shown that wherever sdi has made a sacrifice, it has been to promote her commercial interest. Events are dailv dev. loping which tend to exhibit to the world, in its true light, her motive under the disguise assumed a few years since in West India emancipation. Wnat was her de sign? Can it be possible that she deliberate ly, oud from pure love of ti e thing,- deter mined to destroy the productiveness and com mercial olue of those Islands to her Govern ment? England never acts so foolishly. She but entered upon a speculation, which by the imitativencss, not to say Tolly, of the Northern States, she bids i'v.r. in time, to tutu ti g -od ace unt. She knew liiajt her servile iuiita'ors iu the Northern States, would fieely fall Uown and worship the Baal he had reared. She trilcitatod aright. V"c.t India eniancipatitu wis followed by the rapid sr.read of Northern Abolitionism. Her emis saries fanned the fiamn until it h.-is attained to such a fierejness. that the Rmon of -these States, that lias been the terror of despots aud the hope of freedom's sens throughout the world, is threatened .vith de-'t rueti'm. How would the hearts of tyrants rejiiee to see this resting place of liberty rent to fragments by her own sons ? Should this ever transpire, then woe to North and South. The manu factures of the North would probabsy be crushed, and her greatness in a commercial point of view seriously impaired. Sho .woul J uolther have the Southern mark duty free. wherein to dispose of her wares, nor Southern products to sustain her merchants and manu facturers. She may say," We will not per mit a separation of the States." Will she en gage in a civil war ? If so, then indeed would her cup of bitterness be full. Eng land, who emancipated her slaves and des troyed her commerce England, who set the example that foolish Abolitionists might follow it, and create discord in our one happy fam ily of States England whose emissaries have been feasted, in our midst, and cheered the thoughtless in their mad crusade against the holiest work of humau minds, the Constitu tion cf our country and the Union which cre ated it that England, in whose philanthropy the sympathetic trusted, backed as it was by titled dames, the cry of whose - inhumanity seiip to Heaven a wail that Southern slave never equalled that Englaud will laugh at our calamity and mock when our fear cometh. Quick as the first blow, is struck so soon as the breach between the sovereign States of this Confederacy becomes irreparable, Eng land will turu her back upon the North and offer aid to the Southern States against her. She has her spindles to supply as well as the North, and all tbatsho will desire of the South will be, the market for her manufactures, to our exclusion, and the products of the South for her advantage. She will then realize from the few millions invested iu West India Emancipation, the destruction of a commercial rival, who now, by the aid of the Union, dis putes with her the commerce of the world. Will not her commercial tnterebt be promoted, and her diplomatie principles sustained there by ? Upon the North it depends. There i3 another view of this question. What matters it to Englaud whether she gain her end by force or fraud ? In the event of a war with our country, the South would be the battle ground, aud she would proclaim meas ures in relation to our slaves consonant with the feelings of a grat portion of our people, and, from 'present appearances, . with good prospect of diverting a large share of public sentiment, in that quarter, from us and iu favor of Iter. Indeed, it is questioui-ble which would be the greater annoyance to the South, an 'English army as enemies, or an army of Aboliti nists a friends. Iycnnsjflvanian. Down ou the Yankees. Mr. Wright of Luzerne county, is among the ablest members of the Legislature. Du ring the present session, he has distinguished himself by bis ardent opposition to the re straining Liquor Law of last winter. He goes for an immediate and unconditional re peal of that measure In one of his speeches on this subject in the House, he -thus refers to the Yankee origin of Prohibitory Laws: " The bill proposed to be repeal ed is the product of a Yankee not ion. I was early irate to. some lankee notions. toueers of our faith, Mr. Snea ker, met with martyrdom iu the pious and godly town of Dustou, tor the simple promul gation of their holy and peaceful faith The banishments of the Baptists was another Yan kee notion. The execution of witches at Sa lem was another. American devotion to the sable hue, had its origion there and being a a most inventive people, the discovery of ma king men moral by statute, had its origin with them. The sterling worth of New England I value as I should. Her early and rugged morality, staiued asitwas, with Quaker blood, the bauishment of the Baptists, aud execu tions for witchcraft, is yet to be commended. Her invention and intelligence have a world wide reputation. In the dark hours of the revoiutiou her patriotism was uudoubted. She is entitled to high praise, though there be on her escutcheou the dark spots of blood, of bigotry and fanaticism. I may be permit ted to speak freely of her faults, since I. am partly of her lineage. The discovery of reg ulating palates by statutes, is eminently a Yankee notion." Some other Commonwealth have felt tha contagion. Maine, the first to try tho expeiiuieut, is the first to condemu it. Pennsylvania, having repudiated the principle by her popular vote, haJthis ill favored imp forced upon her people by a Legislature that was the unhealthy growth of a fanatical storm Her people, whose avowed wishes were thus disobeyed, have given a most terri ble rebuke to her servants. The Ick Emiiauuo at tuu Wlst. The Western uewfpapcrs all speak of the serious effect upon bu.-iuess produced by the suspeu feiou ot xavigaiiO!i ou the Western rivers, particularly tne Ohio. The boats are lyiug lule, uuU laborers are out of employment ; the vvaut of employment effects the retail business of the cities and Towns, which, in tutn, react upon commercial transactions. The Hotels are almost empty, for now that tt.e river is closed, travelers ouly move about because of the most urgent uetessity. There is some apprehension felt of a sudden thaw. Steam boats, coal boats, aud all kinds of river craft, are frozen iu such a maimer that a sudden thaw aud flood miriht occasion serious loss. This appreheusion may, however, be some what relieved by the fact that a wide portion of the country to the south is civered with suow, aud southerly wihJ which are neces sary, as welt as a warm sun, to a sudden thaw, get tnoiougliiy cooled before they reach the more uoi tiiuiy streams, the chuf avenues of iu tenia! commerce The cold has been intense aioiig the uectiuu of couutry embraced and watere.1 by the Mississippi.
