THE OATH OF A KNOW NOTHING. K7" ft is now admitted, and not denied, that Know Nothings are bound together by an oath admi nistered on the Holy Bible—an oath which obligates them topersecute, to the bitter end, all persons who adopt the Catholic faith, or whose misfortune it was to have been born on a soil a few thousand miles dis tant from this glorious land of liberty. It is also ad mitted, and cannot be successfully denied, that this organization has caused one class of people to hate The other with a perfect hatred—indeed, so bitter and malignant has that hatred ber -me, that Know Nothings cannot speak of Foreigners or Catholics, without branding them with epithets of the most in famous and degrading character. Through the evil spirit thus engendered, Foreigners, including wo men and children, were shot down in Louisville and e|-ewhere, as though they had been so many mad dogs. Only a few days since, in the Hall of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, one of the Know Nothing leadeis on that floor denominated the Catholic population ol Cambria county "A DEN OF YIPKRS !" in the utterance of which disgrace ful sentiment—as false and malicious as it was dis graceful— he was cordially endorsed by all his bre thren of the MIDNIGHT LODGE, as was evident | from the fact that they all voted to sustain his point, i Now, what we want to get at is this. Can a man 1 be a CHRISTIAN—can he enjoy the favor of his ! Maker, whilst resting under this dreadful oath? On | the other hand, does not this oath preclude the pos-i- j bilitv of his becoming a Christian, until he renoun ce-, it, and r-petiT- of the great wrong he has done .i brother by thus obligating himself to do all in bis power to degrade and disgrace him for all time to come? Let us honestly examine the authorities, j and we think they will settle the matter without ; mueh difficulty. In the 22d c. of S. MATTHEW, 3G, 37, 38, 30, ami 10 v. we find the following: 30. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37. Jesus said unto him, Thon shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with at I thy mind. 38. This i- the lir>t great commandment. *3O. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love fhv neighbor as thyself. 10. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. S. JOHN", 13th c. 1"? v. reads thus: 12. This is my commandment that ye love one a nother, as I have loved you. In the First Epistle General of JOHN, 2d c. 9, 10 and 1! v. stands recorded these words: 9. He that saith he is in the light, ami hnieth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10. He that loveth his brother abofeth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11. But be that hateth his brother is m darkness, and kuoweth not whither fie goeth, because that darkness bath blinded bis eyes. 1 th c. same Book, 7,11, 20, and 21 v. will be found thp following: 7. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and every one that loveth is boru of God, and knoweth God. 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his bro ther, be is a LIAR. For lie that loveth not his bro ther, whom be bath seen, how can he love God whom be bath not seen? 21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God, loveth his brorheralso. We ask every man who has taken this oath, and more especially those who profess to be Christians, lo read carefully the above quotations which ema nate from God himself, and then ask themselves, a they expect to answer at the last Great Day,"Can a man be a Know Nothing and a Christian?" If not, then let all who have thoughtlessly joined this organiza tion abandon it at once, and heartily repent of the folly. And to tho-e MINISTERS of the Gop<>l who seem to have lost all faith in the power of (foil, and who have joined these midnight conspiracies with the view of reforming men through the instrumentalities of an arm of llesh, we would direct their attention to the lithe, of Hebrews in general, and the 33d v. in particular: 33. Who through FAITH subdued Kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the moot lis of Lions. If those preachers who consider all Catholics as vesting beneath the frowns of the Almighty, would earnestly and sincerely pray for them instead of uni ting in secret conclave with infidel--, sabhath-bieak ers, profane swearers, drunkards, gamblers, and de bauchees, to denounce them, how much better would their acts square with their professions of love for the Bible? But, unfortunately,all are not Christians that preach the Gospel, and the take heed lest they be misled by wolves intete-eps cloth ing. In JOHN, 4c. Iv. we are admonished of this fact. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spi rits whether they be of God. Because many false ! prophets are gone out into the world. When Know Nothingism first introduced itself to ! the public, some of the religious newspapers of the j slay took hold of it with a lirm grasp; and, without j waiting to see what it meant, urged church inern- j hers to push on the column. The ADVOCATE, the or- j gait of the Methodist Church, a church to which we are devoted by ties that can never be severed ex cept by death, and the OBSERVER, the organ nfthe Lutheran Church, became the enthusiastic advocates of the principles of the Order—and, in this way, ma ny honest and good men were entrapped into the midnight lodges that could not have been brought in I through any other channel. The result of the labors of these journals is evinced in the decline of the | Church wherever * is under the control of Know i Nothing Preachers. The Methodist, Lutheran, and all other churches j resting beneath the weigiit of this demoralizing I scourge, will have to cast off the loathsome incum- j biance before they can hope to prosper in spiritual j things. That Minister who has taken an oath to disfran chise his Catholic neighbor, or who approves the con duct of others iii doing so, violates one of the strong est of the commandments—and, under such circiirn- j stances, his prayers, whenever and wherever offered, must be an abomination in the sight of the Lord Will arty Christian, as such, deny t his position ? And further, does not a Know Nothing deliberately utter a wilful falsehood when he offers a prayer al ter the following manner—"We thank God that we live in a landot Liberty where every man may wor ship his Creator, according to the dictate- of his con science, under his own vine and Gg tree, none dar ing to molest or make him afraid." This very prayer, which comes to us from every pulpit, should canse men to tremble at the thought of having taken an oath to degrade and disgrace all who dare to differ with them in religious sentiment! These remarks embrace the substance of what we said on this point, at the late democratic Meeting, anil WP put them upon record that we may not be misrepresented on so delicate a subject. DT~Mr. WENDELL, the Democratic nominee, has hern elected Printer to C'ongres-, notwithstanding the Know-Nothings have more than Itco to our of the members I Mr. GI.OSSURENNKU, one of the most rad ical opponents of the midnight order in Pennsylvania, has al-o been elected Sergeant-at-Arms. These Democratic triumphs were brought about through the divisions and distentions of the Know-Nothings, who are now split lip into factions and engaged in the eannible eqterprizp of rating each other. What sensi ble man can continue to art with such a party ? (LTLpt-tt be remembered, anil never forgottrn, that the election of Mr. BANKS, the K. N. Abolition Speaker of Congress, cost the toTjiayer.s of the na tion, just three hundred and ten thousand dollars, which sum was drawn in gold, from the Treasury, on bis warrant, the day after he was declared Speak er, by a plurality vote! Freemen, bow do you like ■such Americans to rule America ? *ito(hei- Lienor SEill. CTl'lie Senate has passed another Liquor Bill, which we conceive to be more objectionable even than the Jug Law of last Session. It seems to au thorize no sales in less quantities than a gallon, so that if a man wants a little for his Camphor bottle, he must buy a gallon—and if he wants to flavor his mince pies, he must carry home a large jug full, a system by which a Tavern Bar will be erected in almost every bouse in the State, and thousands ot men will be seduced into int* ntjteraure, who have been temperate all their lives. If Licenses were fixed at ten theusand dollars each, andail the taverns in Pennsylvania were closed, there would be more Liquor drank than there ever was under the old Li cense system, as objectionatile as it was in many re spects. Temperance legislation is a curse to the cause of Temperance, a fact which is every day manifesting itsell'to men ol serious reflection. Ibe cause ol temperance in Pennsylvania is ten years behind what it was ten years ago, growing out : of the fanatical zeal of its advocates! Our Senator, i Mr. JOUDA \, goes for all the extremes mi this subject, notbwistanding bis course is in direct opposition to the will of nien-teiiths of his constituents. Americans Must Ktile America ! If one not acquainted with the tricks and falsiflca tions of the Know-Nothings, should hear their w ar cry of "Americans must rule America," says the Washington l. uioii, he would have strange feelings. Let us examine into this empty brag, arid so expose a new inconsistency of the Know-Nothings. Con gress, in virtue ot our constitution, has the right of j legi-lating, and he who legislates "rules!" The' Senate consists of ti2 members and the House of Rep resentatives ol 234. All of these are natives of this country ; not a single one is of foreign birth ; yet I he Know-Nothing cry is, "Ameiicans must rule Amer ica!" Instead of the foreign-born citizens of our country exerting a political power equal to their >/■- j rife power, they are in this respect, not represented j in our national legislature at all. Our total popula- i tion amounts, ar present to about 27,000,000, of which ! nearly 3,000,000 (exclusive of their children born in this country) are foreign horn, ll'the-e five millions i should be represented m Congress on an equal toot- | ing with the native born, of the 02 Senators fourteen, j ami of the 234 members of the House fifty-three j should be foreign boin. Yet the Know-Nothings in I spite of all these facts, persist lit proclaiming their! hypocritical doctrine, "Americans must rule Amen- i ca I" Sick of Kuou Notliiugisiu. The Louisville Courier , edited by Walter Halderman, Esq., formerly a Whig, but more recently a Know-Nothing, has repudiated his party- Hear him: "The next eleelinn will SEAL THE DOOM OF KNOW NOTHINGISM IN KENTUCKY. Thousands of llf tigs who voie<t the Know jYulh ing ticket lust Jin gust, ore now utterly disgus ted with the party, and will work with a will ai the next election to secure its defeat. With in the last live months such changes have been going on as to leave not the slightest itoubt as to what will he the position of our noble State in the next contest." There is not a TRUE PATRIOT in the land that "doubts it." Kentucky is just as ceitain to cast her electoral vote for the nominee of tln- Democratic National Convention, as that the day oi election will come. AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO JACKSON.— In a speech recently delivered by Col. Edward Pick ett, jr., in reference to the Democratic Victory ill Tennessee, he said : "It was well for the memory of the immortal sage of the Hermitage, that l tie bigoted crusade against foreigners should receive such a rebuke from the people of the State beneath whose soil his mortal remains repose. In every drop of his blood, Jackson was an Irishman. His lather was one of the Irish patriots whose brow turned pale with indignation at the oppressions and in sults offered to his native land. His mother's cheeks were fanned by the soft breezes that blew over the bay of Dublin, and wreathed in the roses that grew on the green sod of Erin.— Hut it. as the hero of New Orleans was ascend ing the steps of Hie capitol to take the oath of fealty to the Constitution of the United States, a foul whisper had reached his ears that the Pres ident elect was an Irishman, and therefore an Anti-American, one hand would have been laid on his breast, and the other would have grasped his sword, and he would have said, "yes, in eve ry drop ol iny blood and every nerve of my arm, lain an Irishman} but here at least is an American heart, that while it beats, will love the Constitution and the liberty it guarantees, and here is an American sword that shall be ready to defend that liberty till this arm is palsied in death." 'Cj~ The Bedford Riflemen and the Cadets will parade in honor of the birthday ol the Father of our Country. VYe have no doubt they will make a fine display. Painful Scrne at an Execution. —The exe cution of Jacob Arinbruster, lor the murder of his wife, took place in the jail yard at Doylcft town, oil f riday. He niaiutauied his compo sure to the last, protesting His innocence, and appealing to Cod against his sentence. He as cended the scaffold with a firm step, accompa nied by his sou, who uvpt bitterly at the dread ful situation of his father; but after the fatal cord had been adjusted, the prisoner refused to shake hands even with his son at parting, and would not permit prayers to be offered up in his behalf, fuming frequently to tfie Sheriff, and exclaiming, "You dare not hang me! You know you dare not ! This painful scene, how ever, continued Lut a lew minutes, the drop fell, and the doomed man was launched into eternity without a struggle. His last words were, "I want no Judge but Cod."' Si\ Won to hs Hnng in one County. From the Yazoo Democrat, '•' learn that tilt 1 Circuit Court of that county recently ad journed, alter a protracted session of four weeks. The ciimanal docket occupied nearly half ol the term, there being a large amount of tis ness on hand, the most of which was of tin* worst of crime. Six men, three white and three Mack, were found guilty of murder, and sen tenced to he hung on the IGlh of this month, and one sentenced to the penitentiary for five wars. The names of the condemned criminals are : John Cotton, for the murder ol Smith ; Jack Lvnch, for the murder of Wright ; and Young C. liovard, for the murder of his wife. The three negroes, for the murder of their roas ter, Theopliihis Pritchard. One of the mur ders ahove alluded to was very terrible, as will he seen from the following : The annals of most infernal crimes w ill hard ly furnish a parallel to a recent murder in Yazoo county, the details of which we find recorder! in the Democrat. "In point of monstrous enor mity it has few parallels in the history of sin. The act was committed on Tuesday night, the 25th irist. Young ('. Bovnrd, lesiding near Benton, in that countv on the evening of the night alluded to, for some cause or other, prob ably without any cause at all, forcibly turned his wife out of his house with the view of keep ing her out all night in the cold. During the night, when she supposed her inhuman husband was asleep, she crept into the house and laid herself down on a sheep-skin before the fire. Bovard was awake, however, and saw her en ter : and after she laid quietly down lie anise, and taking in bis hand a heavy maul, deliber ately beat her brains out. liovard was a re bended next day and lodged in jail at that place. It is supposed by some that he was laboring un der some sort of mental abberation at the lime, and the atrocity of the act seems to justify the supposition in some degree." PA IN FIX ACCIDENT TO SHERIFF PATTERSON. —We regret to announce that our wojrthv Sln-rifT, Rody Patterson, Esq., met with a se lious accident yesteidnv, while attending the funeral of .Mr. Robert Moore. He was driving a sleigh, accompanied with his ladv, and while near the Two Mile run, Mrs. Patterson remark ed that there were some persons driv ing furious ly behind lhem, hut before they could get out of the way, he was struck on the hack, below the rght-sliuulder blade, by lb" tongue of a two horse wagon, and thrown upon the ground.— .Mrs. P. fortunately escaped uninjured. The Sheriff was carried into an adjoining house.,and l)rs. Pollock and Murdoch sent for. When the physicians reached him, they found thai his injuries were of so serious a nature as to pre clude a thorough examination of them. Sever al ribs are supposed to be broken, and internal derangement is feared. He lav lor several hours in a state of insensibility, hut toward even- ing recovered sufficiently to he removed to his resilience on Fourth street. Last night he fell into a sleep, anil on waking exhibited favora ble symptoms. We hope his injuries may prove less dangerous than his friends apprehend, and that a speedy recovery may follow. The accident happened in consequence of a race between a number of sand haulers, who were going towards Lawrenceville with empty wagons. The foremost wagon, in charge or Valentine Horbaugh, was driven against the Sheriff's sleigh, which was smashed to pieces. Horbaugh was followed by Edward Boyle, Fred erick Fallbach, and two other teamsters, for whose arrest warrants were issued at the in stance of District Attorney Roberts and Mayor Bingham. Horbaugh was taken at a tavern in East Liberty, and the others named were found without much trouble. Tliey Were fh the tombs last evening, awaiting an examination.— Pittsburg I nion. ~~~ PIBLIC SALE ~ OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE!
