not only their own. judgment, but - their sense

its votaries know it to be.
The meetings so far as I attended them, were
generally — occupied in initiating members.
They have no object so far as I can learn, but'
that of controlling the politics of the country,
and grasping the offices. The President for
each Council calls the meetings together by a
written notice, unintelligible to any except
the initiated. Re' takes the chair and presides
during the evening. The general topic of dis
cussion in the Council before the electicin- last
fall. Wail .how to bcstdecoy the, Democrats into
- their ranks, and generally how to augment
'their forces, and gain the ascendancy. Their
hope is to ride into power oo the popular pre
judice against the Roman Catholic church, and
indeed they are making rapid strides towards
. effecting their object. I could go with them
in-an honest effort against any political power
attempted on the part of that church, and with
that object in view many joined their ranks.
But when . 1 saw that bad men of all parties ,
ad joined them, and were willing-to prostitute
the association to the basest political purposes
to obtain power, I could no longer see any hope
oraccomplishingThe original object. They are
„snow composed very largely of the ignorant,
Who-areso be pitied ;-the bigOted sectarian,
who is more designing than foolish ; the broken
down and disappointed politicians of both par
ties ; the demagogues, who love spoils more
thart — Pirty. and who fancy they can see a
glimmer of hope ahead ; a part of the clergy in
some of the Protestant churches, who are long- .
ing for power, and who carry-with them more
sinless of their members,, the floating popula-,
tion of the country, with'rio fixed principles
either moral or political, Usually denominated
'majority men, '.or men Who vote on the strong
side if they can find it. If these classes of
men combined have the numerical strength,
they will succeed. - The order hopes to be able
in 1856 to hold in their hands su.fficient power
to secure the election of a Know Nothing Presi
dent. and by obtaining the reins of government
___to perpetuate their power. A desperate effort
will be made ;'perhaps such a one as this coun
try never witnessed. In my opinion, if virtue;
intelligence and honesty of purpose is in the as
cendancy in this country, they will be defeated;
if not, they may triumph. For my own. part
I have heretofore been a Whig, and hare al
ways gloried inahe triumph of Whig principles,
but even to accomplish that object the sacrifice
is too great.
-The following is a copy ofthe oaths and ex
amination which every member must undergo. -
and subscribe to before becoming a member,
as nearly as I can recollect. That they are
substantially true, T pledge myself to prove in
' a court of justice if opportunity be afforded me.
They are contained in a book, one copy of
- which is furnished to each Council. The "In
structor" has possession of it, and administers
. the oath from it, but the members are not al
lowed to have it. I suppose for the same rea
son that Roman Catholic Priests do not let
their members read a bible ; because they are
too ignorant to read and understand. it.
thought it strange-that they as an order should
adopt a course they so much disapproved in
others.

If elected, he is 'secretly requested to present
himself in the ante-room of the Council, when

[The Oath is precisely the same as the Oath
• , publisked in the Compiler a few days prior to
the last Election, so that we deem it unnecessary
to re-publish it here'.]
I have thus given the forms as far as the
second degree. I never went further. It will
be a matter of regret all my life that I. ever
went solar as I did. I have now, however,
done all I can to atone for it.
may add. before closing this communica

The Nunnery Visitation.
The extraordinary movement of the Massa
chusetts Legislature in reference to nunneries
and Catholic schools attracts attention through
out the United States, and is a general topic of
newspaper comment.. It appears to be univer
sally condemned. The following remarks are
from the New York Commercial Advertiser, a
prominent and discreet Protestant journal ;
So true is it that "extremes meet," and so
true is it that when once men are tempted to
infringe, in the slightest degree, perfect free
- dOm of religious opinion, and perfect equality
of religionists, do they enter upon the high
, road to religious intolerance and persecution.
It is not safe to introduce religious questions
into our popular elections, for the moment you
make religious majorities in the legislature you
practically make religion a State matter ; and
the majority never resist the temptation of
wielding the power of the State for their own
in plain English, the persecution—of those of
another creed. We shall be glad if the illus
tration ofthistruth given by the Massachusetts
Legislature serves to put Attieriean citizens
upon heir guard - inthis

,SERIOUS COLLISION WITH UNITED STATF:S
TitooP.S.-7Advices from Great Salt Lake City
to the 7th of February, haVe been received.
The news of the appointment of -Col. Steptoe
as Governor of the Territory, vice Brigham
Young,: Harris, Secretary, vice A. W. Babbitt,
and some other changes, took the Mormons by
surprise, but it is not thought any - serious op
position will be made . to them.
On New Year's day quite a serious collision
took place between' the th States soldiers
And the citizens, at "it thinking-shop. Fire
arms were freely - used, and seven or eight per
sons were shot. but fortunately none of them
were killed. Two of the soldiers were severe
ly-wounded, and for a time it was thought
they could not recover. The Mormons ordered
out the Legion, threatening to destroy the
whole battalion of United States troops in the
city under Col. Steptoe. The three companies
of United States troops were quickly paraded
- under arms—they strengthened their position,
and waited for the -assault of- the "Legion;"
which was every moment expected. This
state, of quasi warfare lasted for three days,
when calmer counsels prevailed and hostilities
ceased. As the - affairgrew out of a drunken
fight, an cyder wasisFued by the civil authori
ties forbidding the further sale of ardent spirits
in the city.
The Territorial Legislature of Utah, at their
late session, passed an act called the "Gift
Law," by which the faithful are to vest all
their real and personal estate of every kind in

whether Congress will tolerate such outrageous
legislation in one of the National Territories.

he ate. Soon after he became very drowsy
