Diaapproval in the clearest and strong est form of all secret political association' as immoral andbnconstitunonally opposed to the palbmples of our Republican form of government and utterly subversive of the confidence which ought to gni - hist among political friends. 2. Condemnation especially of that form of sisrret political association which pro• scribes American cititens on account of their religious opinions or their place of birth, this Committee and the Whig party recognizing in its broadest sense, the con- Atitiltional principle that, every man has a light to worship (toil according to the dic tates of his own conscience, and that organ ized political proscription on ncr•ont Ul t of re ligions belief would be an interferehec with that right. 3. Disavowal by this Committee collec tively and individually of any connection or sympathy with ally Awl) secret political organization. 4. The assertion of the feeling common to every Whig of Pennsylvania, and to very many of.other nrgatexations, that the Ne. stud liangait measures of the Mat Gringrea4, the abrogation of the Mioniurr Goinproinvie IMP, and, as a part of the naiad aystein. the lawless and violent coo; duet of ti dividuabi since nt Kansas, eve. eially are abhorrent to the people of the North. and ought to he redressed, 5.

I deliberately reiterate that opin ion. be its value what it may, without ague. ting anothor grave question% whether these combinations and these extra jouliCial oaths are not strictly unlawful It is a very safe kind ot swearing for easy consciences when no penalties of perjury are risked I am, by education and principle, opposed to all extra judicial oaths—having been taught long ago by ono of the greatest lawyers Pennsylvania ever produced-one, too, whose memory I must affectionately cheetah, that the administering or prolionnetps of any oath, except by authority of law. Is an of fence against the law. The example of this secret party is making thorn fearfully corn mon--this taking in vain the Almighty's name—"this rash swearing not required by the magistrate" which the wisdom of more than one Protestant churott condemns I sin free to say that oaths of exculpation are nearly as repugnant as oaths of initiation and proscription. Aside, I repeat, from all question of law, the whole secret organiza tion is immoral, and degradingly so in thia, that it exacts evasion and sometimes the denial of truth. If it does not now, it cor (unity did so once, iii its prime of youth and pride iil victory The obligation once was, and I fear is vet, to evade the confession of membership if possible, and if not, expressly to deny it ; and t have inyselt seen instances of this degrading prevarication which make the use of the word "unmoral" almost too gentle.
