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.—
