Tbe Nature and Cbaracter of Know Notblogism. Debata in the New York Legislator* ob the Election of Senator* Tho election of Wm. H. Seward to* the United Slates Benate, was opposed in New York by the Know Nothing Order with a fierceness by tred we can scarcely conceive of in this region. A most exciting debate, lasting for three days before the election, brought oat some of the mosr extraordinary disclosures of disgraceful and proscriptive political conduct and proceed ings ever before revealed to tho astonished gaz« of the American people. - We would gladly pub lish the whole debate as a most triumphant de fence of tbe course of this papor in relation to t the Know Nothing movement, but want of room compels ns to give only such points os bear es pecially upon the nature and character of the Know Nothing Order. The debate commenced on Friday, the 2d of February, and was opened on S&tnrday by Mr. Bickerson in a powerful speech in favor of Mr. Seward, and the general principles known as Seward Whiggery. Near the dose of his re ,marks tho following scene took place: “Influences” have been spoken of—lobby In fluences, I suppose—in favor of Mr. Seward.— And it is implied that members have allowed themselves to be controlled or dictated to by those influences. Sir, I stand here to declare that the first question has not been asked me in regard to tho vote I intended to cast on this sub ject, by any Seward man, that I believed was asked with the slightest design to influence that vote. No approaches have been made to me of this_cbaracter. What may have been the expo riebce of others I cannot say. But, air, there have been outside lobby “influences” brought to bear against Wo. H. Seward—influences, perse vering, Bocret and powerful. I, sir, have been thus approached, althnogh I to-day bold myself os no number of any secret order. Yes, sir, communications have been sent to me, conohed in 'Offensive language, and insultingly dictatorial —in so many words, ‘ , DIaECTD!o ,, mo to “voto against William H. Seward. I have now the proof In my pocket [Cries of “read,” “read.”] Mr. Wygant (excited) : Havn’t you been read out of tho Order ? Mr. Bickerson: I have bocn read out of no Order, bat I have withdrawn from an organiza tion which dared to dictate to me. [Hisses, in several directions.] I repeat, sir, that so far os I have the‘ability to do so, I have withdrawn from all connection with on Order whoso members have attempted to improperly interfere with my rights aa a member of this body and with the oath which I took at that desk—so far, at least, as 1 hod the ability to do so, and I always considered that I had that ability. Mr. Rhodes: After election, I suppose. Mr. Rickerson: Tbe gentleman retorts, “after election." I withdrew when I saw fit to do so— when I ascertained that there were obligations imposed npon me trammel me in the discharge of the duties which I assumed when I took upon myself my Constitutional oath of office, and which were Inconsistent with oath. Then it was, sir, that I withdrew. Voice—“ When did you join!” Mr. Bickerson: “When did 1 join!" I affirm, Mr. Speaker, that I joined this organization without being made acquainted with the first principle which it advocated—or without being told the first syllable of the obligation which 1 was to assume. No disclosure, either of the principles of the organization or of the obliga tions vrhleh its members assumed, was made to me. And the gentleman knows very well how, step by step we go, and how difficult, after get ting id a certain position, il is to back out Mr. Speaker, I shall not longer occupy the time of this House. I believe myself entirely justified in the coarse I have taken. I shall en deavor to discharge my duty on this, aa on all other subjects, according to the dictates of my judgment and conscience—uoawed, anstdaced and unterrifivd. Mr. Leigh rose to a question of privilege, and said:—Mr. Speaker, I have been sent here by my constituents, to serve them in a- legislative capacity.. 1 came here an independent mn, •imply desiring to do my duty, honestly and.fyar lcssly. In carrying out this purpose, I have" leemed it my duty to declare myself the friend of the Mein Lew and of Wn. U. Seward. For having done so—particularly for haring avowed my purpose to vote for Mr. Seward as Senator of the United States—tfcl< Eooso has been foully aai grossly insulted in the person who now addresses you. I, this morning, received several com munications from my district, cfao extra officious and insulting character, designed for the In famous purpose of influencing my action as a member of this House. I shall read these com muni cations. The first is dated “Hancock Chap- Ur. Peck: I call the gentleman to order; end mj point of order U, that If the communication* are private, he has no right to read them. The Speaker; The gentleman has no right to read those or any other document without the consent of the Bouse. Mr. O'Keefe: I move, sir, that the gentleman from New York have tho .permission of the Boose to read the communications, r Agreed to.

Mr- May here obtained the floor. Ho said he shoald not have said a word on this question bat for a communication he had just roceived-from home.

BLAG&r Mr. May remarked that tho order from which this emanated did all in Us power to defeat his return to this House,, if the voto of the town was .to be regarded as a proof of the fact And yet it assumed to instruct him on thl* question. He wished here to protest against this attempted dictation. He desired to stand here as a free man, at liberty to vote as he saw fit. He designed to act as such in defiance of factions or cliques at home. His position was distinctly understood by his constituents at large when they cast their votes. He was not questioned on this subject It was unnecessary. He was voted for by the bone and sinew of his district as a Seward Whig. As such he shoald this floor—disregard- ■ ing all communications like these from such sources. Mr. Baker said: Mr. Sfbakkk—l do not rise, Sir, to vindi cate or defend the character of William H. Rew ard against the assaults of his enemies. That sir wonid be, not only a useless, but a foolish expenditure of time and breath at this time, to be attempted by me. He needs no eulogy from me or any other member of this House, neither can the exasperated; hatred of his impotent ma ligners injure'his reputation. * * j But sir I will procoed to tbe discussion of the* main question, which I propose to bring to tho'; notice of this house, namely: the* parallel bo-' tween the oath required to be taken by the) Jesuit and that required to be taken by the //m-y doo branch of the Know Nothings. t Sir, wo have heard the oath of the Jesuit read* and commented on by a Know Nothing in this; House—and as there is.ho denial that the Know, Nothings require tho members of their order! also to take an oatb, I confess that I /felt that? there was a want of candor, when the ginUemani who read and commented on the oath of tbej Jesuit, refused to read for the information of this House the oath of the Know Nothing, ialtbougb requested to do so, I, sir, for one, felt, that as a matter of honor, and justice and rigtt, when gentlemen were making strictures and Criticisms on the Jesuitical oatb, the Know Nothing oath should also bo read, that we may see and judge for ourselves, which is the most protective, in tolerant, bigoted and tlavish —the Jesuit or the Know Nothing (I mean of the Hindoo stripe.)—; And-sir, as the merits of the respective parties are before us for consideration, I shall propose the reading of the oath required by the mem bers of the order of Know Nothing!—tor tbepor poso of exhibiting tho parallel between! them and the Jttuiu. We cannot form a correct opinion sir, without having both sides of tho base, and as we have heard the oath of the Jesuit read, I will now read that of the Know Nothing. And here sir, I will say to the loaders of .ihe Know Nothings In this House, if they cao, they may deny tho genuineness or authenticity if what I am about to read; but if they do deny it, I de sire them to remember that mere denial is not proof, and as they have the means to prove it a forgery.or.w fraud, if it be' bo, by producing and reading in, evidence the true and amain! Know Nothing 6atK“*Trtiiey Call to do so, ijshall take it for granted that they cannot successfully deny it—-and that what 1 read is a true Know Nothing oath. I make this challenge, ami offir sir, be fore I proceed to read, that any honorable gen tleman who can deny it, may have the opportu nity—for I do not wish to misrepresent this'mat ter, and if I am wrong, 1 wish to bo-p^t-right— for it is a very material point in this controversy. 1 will read, sir, the oatht, for it seems they have two—ono for each degree in this beautifal school of virtue and purity. "Fes, sir, they have two oath* K either of which will chill the blood of American citizens, who arc not already sunk to the lowest stage of moral and mental depravity. Sir, Jesuitism in the darkest age of bigotry, superstition and human servility never, compared in its slavish despotism over the ralndp of,its dopravod members, with the intolerant domina tion of this Know Nothing, oath. : sir. I wiH read the fifst obligation Sir, It u comptamea againsi me jcsuu umtno surrenders up to kii saperior.hls personal right to think, act,and speak for.himself.

I hare just read to yon the party is required to swear of his own fra wili that he “willin all things political lor social bo far as this order is concerned, comply with the will of the majority though if may. conjUct with kit pertonalpreftreneT— domanding from the outset, of their members, ah.absolute and sir rile surrender of their own free will and choico. Who sir, could 'subscribe such ah oath, telling hit right (o think for himself who is not already sunk to the lowest depths human depravity f. They are also required to swear Sir, that they! will not make known the secrete of the order, or the nams' of any person belonging to it, or of the existence of the. organisation, or the objects of UI. Can yon ece Sir, any parallel in tbia clause with the oath of the Jesuit? And for whathoricstpurposo Sir, is this sccresy imposed?. We hare always Ln this free country, hollered in publishing our political views arid opinions, that men could Judge us fairly; but here Sir, we see a party conceal ing their opinions from those.whose patronage .they solicit; and why, if‘they hare honest plans hndmotiTes, should they thus seek under the bind ing obligations of this “higher law,” to conceal them from tho' knowledge of men ? I nan cell you sir; one motive. It is to get tho votes of men under a false pretenses; for it is. no lesrf a maxim in morals than in law,' that the suppression of a truth, la equivalents the perpetration‘of a false: hood; L They know Sir, ; if they Wcire todisclose the fact that they had taken sufh ayvUe oath they Would lose the votes of t plain/honest men,' who are opposed to intrigue and dohbledeaßrig, sndalso of thopoor foreigners, forwhose perse cution they nreb&nded together.* : But we have seen than imposing upon tWfor- ; eigner, by denyingtheir ’conaecrionJwith; this execrable band, and receiving hlavotAj . sir, it U apart of their oath to conceal thetriiilv .or words,' they swear that if the question be asked whether they or ia neighbor be order fAot they vnU dcnv iL * How does this morality compare .with the Jesuit?.: .Again auy if these .same mea were to stefl a periknifo, they would bedeemed in law and moinus as fel ons; but In'; getting the suffrage* of men under them false pretencesj 'the law may riot condemn them; but they are guilty of a greater crime than Tetty tarceny. .obtaining a folse pretense, when the votes: of men who would riot them,! if they, like honest men, woulddeclare thieir fclat-! fonn/aad avow their connection.:..

If they perpetrate a falsehood and keep their promise, then they are entitled to remain in good standing, and enjoy all the reto nnd piriUga of the order l WiH anybody tell me, what tbbn is in'Jesuitism,-so low and base, and depraved and corrupt as this? Has the world ever witnessed at any time, or in any age, in the creed of any class, sect, despot, tyrant or bandit, a principle more subversive of honor, rights, equality, and mental and moral. liberty, than this requisition in'the “Know Noth ing” oath Pledgsd before God as a witness that they trill, ignore and deny what they inouy sworn Bir, that to keep secret the namo or 'object of this organization or even its existence or the name of any of its members they wiQ perpetrate a falsehood to do it—and “with the left hand rut ing on their heart, and their right hand ezlended to' the flag of their country" —invoke that sacred em blem of American liberty to witness their moral debasement, and mental prostitution! Sir, let us contemplate for one moment, this fearful pic ture of human depravity, corruption ant) mental debasement—imagine, SayOn pome ..seclnded, dark, aod bolted room, dedicated to those fear ed and mysterious rites; a band of American youth submitting-themselves to the mean'and slavish ordeal of initiation- inti an organization which requires of them as a condition of* admis sion, the renunciation of tho right to tell Un truth —the right to thinle and Kill and obey thevolitions .of thdroicn mindsl and as if this'sacrificb is not enough to satisfy the projector* of this'order they ere required to agree, that if theyyepudi ate in any; after time this Bandit oath—that they are to be branded as perjurers andpuxsued and hunted down as felons; thus .precluding a manly vindication of their manhood and mental and moral independence under snob drthdf&'yen , otter,’that-he most be a man of iron nerve; and heart of'steel, who will-dare to spurn and defy f their, ; wicked machinations and .brutal..despo tism oyer, his free right to think and. not for himself.
