IMES OF' PERSON'S. CONCERNED IN THE,
[C6Nc Lunnp.]
-Vi—lts _Ritual; Oati■; turtlAtitUrior Eck*ms
The.ritual ofthe 'order,. as:well as its. eeeret
passWords..4c.; has been fully made
known to the
,inilitary authorities .- In -August
last, one hundred :and twelvevopies of. the'
ritual of the 0.4.. K:.• were seized. in. the -of
fice of 'the lIon.• D.-- W..Voorhees, 14. C.,. at
Iserrellaute, and a large number of tie ritu
als.of the O.S:L., together with the copies of
'the constitution of the councils; A;c., already
'referred to, werefound'in the building at In- -
. diana polls, -oeCupied' f by' Dodd,': the Grand
Commander of Indiana,- as had been indica
ted-by the Government witness and detective
Stidger..CoPies were : also diseovered'at:Lou7 .
at *the tesideisce..of .Dr: Kalfus, con.
cealed- within the mattresses of his lied, where
arso, Stid'ger hd - aScet . t.4ined that they were
- Ihe . ritual of 'the 6: A.. K. has 'also been
furnished by the :authorities at St -Louis."-
From this ritual, that of the 0. S. L. does not
materially differ. Both are termed 'progress
in that they. provide for five separate de
grees of. membership, and contemplate the
admissibn of a member ofaloWer degree in
to a higher, one only upon certain .vouchers
and proofs of fitness, which, with each as
cending degree, are required to.be stronger
arid more imposing. • •
Each degree has its comtnander or head;
the Fourth or "Grand." is the "highest in the
State; the Fifth or "Sitprome," the highest
in the United States ;'„but to the first or lower
degree only, do the great majority of mein
bers attain. A large proportion of these enter
the order, supposing . it to he a "Democratic"
and association' merely; and the
history of the order furnishes s. most striking
illustration of the gross and criminal decep
tion which may be practiced upon the igno
rant masses by unscrupulous and unprinci
pled leaders.. The members of the loWer de
exec are otten for'e considerable period kept,
quite unaware Of the' true purposes of their
chiefs. But to the latter they are bound by'
their . "obligation" to yield • prompt and im
plicit obeklience to the utmost of. their ability,
without rcinonstrance, hesitation or delay,
and meanwhile their minds under the . disci-
Pline and teachings to which - they are sub
jeeted, become educated and. accustoed - to
contemplate with comparative th
unconcern the
treason for which-they,are pre.paring..
The oaths, finvocations,". "charges,"'etc.,
of the ritual, expressed'as they. are in bom
bastic and -eTtravag,artt phraseology;. would
excite in the mind of an educated person only
ridicule or contempt, but upon the illiterate
: they are calculated to_ make a deep impres
sion, the effect .and importance of which were
doubtlessfully studied by tile framers of the
instrument;
The oath which is administered upon the.
introduction of a member into any degee, is
especially imposing in its language ; pre-:
scribes• as a penalty for a violation: of the ob
ligation- assumed, !a shameful death,' and
further that the bpdy, of the person •guilty of
such violation, shall be divided in four parts
and cast out at the four "gates i ' of the tem-
plea Not only, as has been said,• does it en=
,din a•blind obedience to the orders of the su
periors of the order, butt it is requlred to be
held of paramount .obligation. to any oath
whieh may be administered to a menatier in a
court of justice or elselihere. Thus; : incases
where members have been sworn, by offi
cers empowered to administer oaths, to speak
the Whole truth in answer to qUestions that
may be put to them, and have. been examin
ed in reference to, the order add their connec
tions therewith, 'they have not only refrisvd
to give any in regard to its char
acter,.but have denied that'they Were mem:.
hers, or even that they knew of its existence.
A conspicuous instance of this is presenied in
the case of Hunt, -Dunn and Smith, the. Chief
officers of the cirderin . Misscalri; wird,' upon
their first examination under oath, after their
_ .
arrest, denied all connection *lilt the order,,
but confessed, also under oath, at a subse
quent period, that this denial was wholly
false, although in accca:dance IVith their obh
gations as memberd of ,the order. 4tdeed,
deliberate System of ddcaption in' regard to
the details of the conspiracy is inculcated up
on the members ; and studiously pursued;
and it may be. mentioned in-this , connection,
as a similarly despicable feature of the organ
ization, that it js held bound to injure the ad
ministration calicers;of the Governm - ent
in every Possible manner, by misrepresenta
tion and falsehood. _ , ••.
• Atembens are also instructed that their oath

• The signS,•signitls,passwords,,&& of the
order are set forth at length in the teslimitny•
but need only be briefly alluded _i
:to: . ..It is a;
most,significant fact, as showing the intimate
relations between the northern and Southern
sections of the secret conspiracy; that .a mime
ber•from tr‘Northern State is enabled to pima
without risk through ,the South by, tlie.pse of
the signs of recognition which have,been.es
taldished throughout theordef, and by means.
of which members from distant points,. tho'
meeting as strangers, are atone made known"
to_each.otlier as'"brothers." Aftit7 Ann Pit
min.; expressly states -in, her testimony' lhat
whenever important' dispatches are required
to, be , sent by rebel Enerals ,beyond their
lines, members of the order are always seleo
ted to convey them. - Certain: passwords are
also used in common in both sections, And of
these'-none.appear to be more familiar than_
the word ”Nuoh-lac," or the name "Cal
houn spelled backward, :and Whichis
played urion entering, a temple of the first dno.
gree.of the 0. A. K.--certainly :a litting pass
word for such densof treason. -
Besides the signs of recoznition, there are
signs of warning and danger, for - use at night
as well as - by day ; • as, for instance, - signs to
warn members of the , approach of 'United
States officials seeking to make arrests. The
order has also established what are called
battle signals, by,means of which; as it la as
serted, a memberserting in the , army may
communicate with the enemy inthe ' field,
'
and thus escape personal harm in, case of an
attack or capture. The most recent of these
signals represented to have been adopted-by
the - order is -a five-pointed copper star worn
under the coat, .which is-to be dis,closed upon
meeting an enemy, who will thus recogruze
in the wearer a sympathizer and an. ally. A
similar star of German silver, himg in a frame,
is said to he numerously displayed by mem
bers or their families in private hottses in Indi
,ana, for the purpose of insuring protection to
their property in ease'of a mid
_or other at
teal and it is stated that in Many dwellings
iu that State a portrait of,Tohn Morgan, is ex
hibited• for a similar purpose. . -
•.•
.other signs are used by , members, and es
pecially the officers_ of the order, 'in their con-
RISSPONIiENCE: Their letters, when of an of
-delal character, ere generally conveyed by
special messengers, but when ; transmitted
througk the, mail, are usually in . cipher.—
When written in the ordinary manner, a
character at the foot of the letter, consisting
of 'a circl6 with a line drawn acrOss"the cen
tre. -signifies to the `member: who-receives it
that the statements as written are to be un
derstood in a sense 'directly the opposite to
that which would ordinarily be conveyed.
It is to be added that 'the meetings of the
order, especially in the country, are.general
ly.held at night and-in.secluded. 'places, and
that the approach to them is carefully guard
ed by a line of sentinels, who are passed only
by means "of a special countersign, which 'is
termed the "picket."

•.• • The "Declaration of Principles, "_w , hich is
set forth in .the-. ritual of the- order, has . - al-.
. .
ready. b eei' 'alluded - to: : This. declaration,
.
Which is: SpecisllY framed for the instruction.
'at the great - mass of.merithers, `commences
with the . following specious proposition
• '.`.A.11 men are endowed by the Creator with
certain , rights, Aual . as far as • there . is equaliL
ty in the . capacity for . the appreciation,,en
joyment and eNercise of those rights." •
And subsequently there is added : ,
- "In the Divine economy no individual' of
'the human face must be permitted to encum
ber. the 'earth to mar its; aspects of transcend
ant` beauty, .nor to impede the progress of
the physical or intellectual - man, neither in
himself florin the race to which he .belongs.
Hence, a people, up - on whatever plane they
may be found in the ascending scale of .hu
whorit neither the; divinity..within
them nor the inspirations of the thyme and
beautiful' 'nature around them can impel to
virtuous action and progress Onward 'and tiri-T
ward, 'should be subjected to'a just and hu
mane servitude and tutelage to the superior
race, until they shall be able to appreciate
the benefits'and advantages of Civilization."
Here is whole theory of human bondage--
the right of the strong; because they are strong,
to despoid and enslave the weak, because they
, are weak! The language.of earth can add
nothing to the cowardly and loathsome base
ness of the doctrine, as thus announced. It
is the robber's creed, sought to be nationalized,
and would push back the hand - on' the dial
plate of our civilization to the darkest periods
of human history. It must" be admitted,
however, that it furnistes a fitting "corner
stone"- for the government 'of a Rebellion,
every fibre of whose body and every throb of
whose soul is born of the traitorous ambition
and slave-pen inspirations of the South.
t, To these detestable tenets is added that
other pernicious political.theory of State soy
ereignty,- with its necessary fruit,, the mon
strous doctrine of secession—a doctrine which,
in asserting, that in our federative system a
part is greater than the whole, would compel
the General Government, like . a Japanese
slave, to commit hari-kari whenever .a faith
less or insolent, State should command it to
Thus; the ritual, after reciting that the
States of the Union aro "free, independent.
and sovereigns," proCeeds as • follOws :
The Government designated "The United
States - of America," has no sovcamatar, be
cause that is au attribute With which thopeo
ple in their several and distinct political or
ganizations; are endowed, and is inalienable.
It was constituted by. the terms of • ihe
PACT, by all the States, through the express
will. of the peOple . thereof, respectively—a
•
common agent to use and exercise certain
named, specified, defined and limited povrers
"which_ are ihherent in - the sovereignties with
in those States. It is permitted, so far, as res.
gards its status and relations, as common
agent in the exercise of the powers carefully
And jealously delegated to it, to call itself 'au
pieme,' but not 'sovereign.' In accordance
with theprinciples upon which is founded
the American theory, Government can exer
cise- only delegated :power; hence, if those
who shall have been chcsen to administer the
GoVernme.nt shall assume to exercise powers
not delegated. they should be regarded and
treated as usurpers. The reference -to 'inhe
rent powor,". 'war power,' or 'military neces
sitP,'. on the_ part of, the., functionary for .the
sanction of an arbitrary exercise , of power
by l 'him, we will hot accept in' pailitition or
excuse. ,
To this is added, as a ecirrollarY, .`fit is. in
compatible with the; history and 'nature of
our. system of Government- that Federal au
thority - should
. - doerce by :arms a • sovereign
The 'declaration of principlea, however,.
does not stop here, but proceeds one step
further, as follows.:
4. , • . • •
'Whenever - the-ehoseu officers or, delegates
shall fail or 'refuse to administer the Govern
ment in strict accordance with the letter of
the accepted Constitution, it is the inherent
right and solemn and imperative duty of the
people to resist the functionaries, and, if need
be,.to 'expel them by force of . areas! Such
resistance is not revolution, btit is solely the
assertion of right,---the exercise of all the no
ble attributes which impart honor and digni
ty to manhood." ' • . •
To the same effect,' though in a milder tone,
is the'platform of the order in Indiana put
forth by thci Grand Council at their meeting in
14'ebruary last, which declareslbat "the right
to alter or abolish their Government, when-.
ever it fails to.secure the blessings of liberty,
is One of the inalienable rights of the people
that can never be safrendered."
Such : then are the principles which the new.
member swears to observe and' abide, by, in
his :°ligation, set forth in the ritual, where he
says; Ao solemnly . promise that I will
event ierish in my Heart othearts the "sublime
cre.eds - Of the E. P...; (Excellent - Knights), and
will, sti far as in me lies;, illustrate the same
in my intercourse.with Men. 4 and will defend
the
_principles thereof, if need be with my life,
whensoever alias - lied, in my •cmmtry first of
..all. Ido further sOlemnly declare that I will
'never take up arms in behalf of any- govern
ment which does not acknowledge- the sole

following extracts from the ritual, as illustra
ting theTrir.ciple of the right, of revolution
and - resistance to constituted authority insists

against a people or beciplei Who are endeav
oring , to s establish, or have inappr!ited,
government for themselves or their own free
thoice."
ver,. it is to be noted that all the ad:
and. speeches of its leaders breathe
the same -principle, or the right of forcible
resistance to the Government, - as One of the
tenets of the order
-Thus P. C. Wright, Supreme, amumaider,
in his generaladdress•of December, 186?.,_af
-ter urging that "the spirit-9f the fathers ttiay,
animate file free minds, the brave heartS; and
still-unsbackeied limbs of the true Democra-
cy" "(meaning the members of the order),
adds as follows: • 'To be prepared for the cri
his now approaching, we must catch from
Afar the earliest amffaintest breathings of the
spirit of the storm; to be successful when the
storm comes we. must be watChful, patient,
brave, confident, organized, armed."
Thus,. too, Dodd, -Grand Commander of the
order in Indiana, quoting, in his address of.
February last, the views of hi chief, Vallan
digham, and adopting them, as his own says:
:
"He (yallanfligham) jndges that the Wash- ,
ingtori power will not yield up its powers un
til it is taken from them by an indignant peo
ple, by force of Wins. " •
Such,- then; are the written principles of
the order in which the' neophyte is .instruct
ed, and which he is sworn to cherish and
observe as 14 rule of action,. when; with the,
arms placed in his hands, he is called upon to,
-engage in the overthrow of his Government.
This declaration—first, of the absolute right
of slavery; seccacid, of State sovereignty and
the right of secession ; third, of the right of
armed resistance to constituted authority on
the part of the disaffected and the disloyal,
whenever 'their ambition may prompt - them
to .revolution—is but an assertion of that
abominable theory which,. from its first enun
elation, served as a pretext foriconspiracy af
ter conspiracy against the 'Government on
the part of. Southern traitors, until their de
testable plotting culminated in open rebellion
and bloody civil War. _ What more appropri
ate name, therefore, to be. communicated as
a'password to the new member upon 'his first
admission to the secrets 'of the .order could
have been conceived,r than that which,was
actually adopted—that of ' 'Calhoun!"—ti
man baffled in his lust for power, with
gnashing teeth turned against the Govern=
ment that had lifted him to, its highest hon
ors, and upon the country that had borne
, him, and flown to - the very close of his fever
ed life labored incessantly to scatter far and
wide the seeds of that poison of' death now
upon our lips. The thoras which now pierce
and tear us are of the tree he—planted. ;
Under "VII" is given "Its Specific Purposes
and Operations." This 'part, for 'Want of
space, we must condense, giving briefly, the
main points. ,
-The first:purpoSe ot.the Order N'tiding
soldiers to' desert, aritlharboring l ind protect-
ing deserters:'! - This was extUnelvely carried
on,' weakening. our. army by thousands. In
this natter the Order was assisted by disloyal
•
edges, who when deserters were, arrested,
issued writs of. habeas corps's in their cases, on
which a condsiderable numbe,r were discharg-1
ed: Soldiers,' upon..deserting f . Were. assured
of immunity frompunithment, and prcitactioii
on the part of the order:, and were . instructed
to bring alloy. with thin . their arras, ' . and if
mounted, their horses. • Details sent to arrest
them by the military authorities were in sev
eral, cases, forcibly resisted, and, where not•
unusually strong in numbers, were driven'
back by large bodies of men, subsequently,
generally ascertained to be members of the
order. One of the Most pointed inStarices of
protectionfurnislaed to _deserters occurred in,
a ease in Indiana, where seventeen deSerters
intrenched themselves in a log cabin with a
ditch and palisade, and were furnished with
.provisions, and sustained in their defense
anainst our military authoritiestor a consid
erable period by the Order or its friends.
The second purpose_ of the Order, was,
"discouraging enlistments and resisting the
draft." This was •done extensively . in the-
Western States by the Order, and the Gov
ernment embarrassed. Where, members of
the Order were forced into the army by. the
draft, they were•instructed, in case they were
prevented from presently escaping, and were •
obliged to go' to the field, . to use 'their arma •
in battle against their fellow soldiers, rather '
than the enemy, or,. if posSible, to desert to
the enemy, by whom, through the sips of
the order, they would be ; recognized .and re--
ceived as :friends.. It is to be - added that
whenever a member volunteered in the army,
he was at once - expelled.from the -order. •
The'third purpose of the Order' was, "cir
.
culation of disloyal and treasonable publica
tions " The order, especially in Missouri,
hal secretly circulated throughout, the coup'
try- a great . quantity- of treasonable publica
tions, as a means ot extending its own pswer
and influence, as well-as giving encourage
ment to • the, disloyal, andinciting them to
treasii. Then follows a list of the principal.
The fourth purpose of ,the Order is; "com
municating with and- giving. intelligence to
the enemy." .Smith, grand, secretruy. of the
order in Miisouri, says, 'in his confession
"Rebel'spies, mail carriers, and emissaries
have been carefully protected by' this order,
ever•sincel have been a member." ' In his
official report of .June 12, last, Colonel Send
- arson remarks :—“This department is filled
with Rebel spies, all of whom belong to the
order." The Order maintained regular mail
communication with the rebels. • The route
,of the carriers is given; The same game-was
carried on in Louisville, Ky., women being
the instruments used by
,the Order.':Two of
. .
the most prominent—Mrs: Woods_ and - Miss
Cassell—have been imprisoned. ..By means
- of this correspondence with the-.enemy,, the,
members 'of the order were promptly ap
prised of all raids - to be made by the forces
of the former, and were able td' hold them
selves prepared to render aid and comfort to
the raiders. On the other hand, the syetem
of espionage, kept up by. the .order; for the
purpose of. obtaining _information of the
movements of our own forces,' &0., to be in
parted to the enemy, seems 'to have been as
perfect as it was_ secret. Men wereplaend
in express, telegraph and Government offices,
-and in fact., in every position where they
could liCk valuable service.
The fifth purpose of the Order was, " aid
ing the enemy by recruiting for there, or as
sisting them to recruit
_Within our lines."-. 7 '
This was'extensively carried - on, particularly
in Kentucky and Missouri.'. Not only thou
.
sands of men but pistols, clothinp, money,
Sze., were . sent to the rebel arnfies,:by the
*Order. The same facilities which-were af
forded- to recruits for the Southern army were
also furnished by, the order to, persons desir
ing o proceed beyond our lines for any ille
gal The sixth purpose of the Order was, "fin-i
nishing the rebels with arms,-.munitions, etc."
Arms, caps, • powder, medical stores, etc:,
were smuggled through the lines in 'large
quantities by the' female members and allies
of the Order. Witnesses who had been . them
.
selves engaged in the 'work, testift t d to these
The seventh purposn,pf the Order, was,
"co-Operating with the, enemy in ndyls and
lavas ions." ,While it is clear that the orde
has glyou aid, both directly and indirectly, to
the forces of, the Rebels, and to guerrilla 1
bands, When engaged in making incursions
into the Border States, yet because on the one
hand, of the constant restraint upon its ae
tions exercised by= our military authorities,
and, on the Other hand, of the general suc
cess of our 'armies in the, field clvet those,.of
the:enemy, their allies at the North have
never-thus far been able to carry out 'their
grand . plan of lk "geneial armed rising 'of the

. , . .
Green . B. Smith states in his confession,
that `the seereet assassination of United
Suites - officers., soldiers, and Government em:
ployes; has been discussed irithecounells of
the Order and, recommended."
In St: Louis and. Louisville it was proposed
to waylay and butcher detectives and soldiiirs;
T t he hntchering of negro soldiers was lispe
chilly, a favorite project. - At a meeting of the,
Orsini Council of Indiana'at, Indianapolis, on,
June 14 last, the Murder of one Coffin, a Gov
"eminent detectiVe, who, 'as it was supposed,
betrayed the Order, was deliberately discuss
-eci and fully determined upon. The opinion
'is expressed by CoL Sanderson, under date of
June 14 last, that "the recent numerous Oold
blooded assassinations of military Officers and
nneonditional Union men throughout the mit-.
. harp
,district of. North Missouri, especially
along the Western border," is to be ascrilied.
in the agency of tlie Order. The witness
Pitman represents that is part of the obli
gation or'understanding of-:the Order" to kill
officers and soldiers "whenever it can be done by
stealth," as well as loyal' citizens when con
sidered important'orinfiuential persons; and
She adds that while at Memphis during the
past suinmer, she Ammo that men on picket
were secretly killed by members of the Order
approaching them in disguise. Other acts of
assasination are given.
The eleventh purpose of the Order is, the
"establishment' of a Nerthwestern Confedera
..
cy." It is proven that the Order has made
the' establishment of a Westeni. and North -
western Confederacy, in alliance with the
South, the_grand.aim and, end of all their plot
, ting and conspiracy. Futile and extravagant
asthis 'scheme may appear, it is yet the set
tled purpose of imply leading . spirits of the
secret conspiracy, and' is their favorite: sub
ject of .thOught ,and discussion. In fact, it . is
even claimed that• the new Confederacy is al
ready organized, that
r it has a "provisional
government," officers, departments, bureaus,
• &c., in secret. operatiorL.

The facti _detailed in the present:report
hare been derived from a great variety of dis
similar sources but all the witnesse, however
different their situation concur so.apointedly
in their, testimony, that the evidence which
has been furnished of the facts must, be re
garded as of the most reliable character.
The principal
. witnesses, may be . classified
as follows : • • -
',I. Shrewd, intelligent. men, . employed as
detectives, and' with a . peculiar talent for
their - calling,' Who haVe gradually gained the
confickince of leading, members of the -order
and in some eases have been adinitted to its
temples and been initiated. into. one or, more
of the degrees. The most remarkable 'Of
these is Stidger, formerly q. private soldier 'in
our army, who, by the use of 'an uncommon
address, though at great personal risk, suc
ceeded in establishing such intimate relations
With Bow lus, Bullitt, Dodd and other leaders
of the order, in Inelaria and. Kentucky; as to
be appointed grand secretary for the latter
State, a position it ost favorable for obtaining
information an the plans of these traitors and
warning the Government of their intentions.
It is to the rare fidelity of this man, who has
also been the : principal witness upon the trial
of Dodd, that the government has .been chief
ly indebted for the exposure of the designs of
the conspirators of the two States named.
11. Rebel. officers and soldiers voluntarily
or involuntarily making disclosures to'our
military authorities. The most valuable wit
nesses' of this class are prisonera of war, who,
actuated by laudable motives, have of their_
own accord furnished a large amount of in
formation io regard to the , order, especially
as it exists in-the South, and of the relations
of its members with those' of the'Northern
senction. Among these, also, are soldiers of
our prison camps, who, without designing it,
have made known to our officials, by the use
of the signs,: &c., of the order, • that they
were members. .
III: - Smits employed to travel through
the interior.- of the Border States, and -also
within or in the neighborhood of the, enemy's
lines. The fact that some of these were left
entirely ignorant'of the existence of the ord
er, upon being , sip employed, attaches an in
creased value to their diseoveriesinregard
to its . Operation& •
IV. .Citizen prisoners, to, whom, while in
confinement, disclosures were made relative
to the existence, extent ; and character of- the
order, by fellow-prisoners who, were leading
members; and 'who, in someinstances, upon
becoming intimate with the witness, initiated
him into one' of the degrees. -
V. • Members of *the order,' who, upon a
full acipaintance with its prmeiples, have
been appalled by its infamous designs, and
have voluntarily abandoned it, freely making
known their experience to our military au
thorities. In this class may be placed the fe
male witness, Mary inn Pitman, ,who, though
in. arrest at the period of her disclosures, was
yet induced to make them for the reason that
as she says, '"at the last.meeting which I at
tended, they passed an order which I, consid
ered as utterly atrocious, and barbarous; so I
told them I would have nothing more to do
with them.," This woman was' attached to
the.cOm wand of the Rebel Forrest as an offi
cer, under the name of "Lientenant Rawley;"
but, because her sex afforded .unu.sual. fact&
ties for crossing'our lines, she, was often em
ployed in the execution of importanttommis
atolls within our , territory, and, as a member
of the order; was made extensively acquaint
ed with other members both of the northern
and aouthern sections. Her .testimony is thus
. peculiarly valuable, and-tieing a person of un
usual intelligspce and force of character, her
statements are succinct, pointed and:emphat
ic. They are also especially useful , as fully
corroborating those of other witnesses regar
ded as most trustworthy.. '
VI: Officers of the order of high rank; who
have been- prompted to present confessions,
more or less detailed, in regard to the order
and their connection with it. The principal
of these arc Hunt, Dunn, and 13inith - , grand
commander. deputy - grand conimander, ;and
grand. secretary of the order in Missouri,- to
whose statements frequent; eference has been
made. Theset, confessions though in some
degree guarded and disingenuous, 'have fur
nished to the Government much valuable in
forniation in regard to - the secret.operations
of the order, especially in Missouri; the affili
ation of its leaderswitli Price, &c. -It is to
be noteirthat- Dunn makes the Statement In
common with other iviinessea that, - in entering
the order he was - quite ignorant .-of of its..t.rtte
..purposes, He- nye
,``l. did ; not become a
member understandingly.; the initiatory step'
was taken in the• dark, without reflectionniad
rithotit knciwledire." • • -
Deserters from.our
.artay, who, upon
being . apprehended, confessed ;kat they' had
been.induced and assisted to desert.by mem
-bers of the order. It waii, indeed; principally
from these confessions that the existence of
the secret, treasonable organization of the

has arisen together in our land an entire
brood of such traitori, all ••animated by the
same parricidal spirit, and all struggling with
thosame relentless malignity for the dismem
berment of our Union. Of this extraordina
ry phenomenon—not paralleled,- it is believed
in. the world's history—there can•be, but one
explanation, and . all these blackened and
fetid streams of crime may well be' traced to
the seine common fountain: .So fierceirin
tolerant and. imperious was the. temper en
gendered by Slavery, than whom the South
ern people, after' having controlled the na
tional councils for half a century, were beat
en at an election, their leaders turned upon the
GOvernment with the insolent fury with whielt ,
they would have drawn their,revolvers on a re
belliousslavein one of their_negro quarters, and,
they have continued since to prosecute their
warfare, amid all the barbarisms and atrocities
naturally and necessarily inspired 'by thein
fernal institution in- whose interests they' are
sacrificing alike themselves and their country.
Many of these conspirators, as is well knciwn,
were fad, clothed, and educated at the ex
*His° of the nation, and.weraloaded with its
honors-at the very moment they struck at its
life with the horrible criminality of a son stab
bing the bosom of his own mother while im
pressing kissee 'on her .cheeks. The
leaders of the - traitors in the loy
al States, Who ,so completely fraternize
with these conspirators, and whose mach
inatioris are now unmasked, it is as-clearly,
the duty of the Administration to prosecute
and punish, as It is its duty to subjugate the'
Rebels who are openly in arms against. the:
Government. In the performance of this duty,
it is entitled to exper,ti and will. doubtless re- - ,
