PITTSBURGH GAZETTE
SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10,1856.
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Order, bat I have withdrawn from an organiza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to do so, I have withdrawn from all connection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. Leigh: Hie communicstlooi which I shall

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. It was won knovra that he was sent here
without shackles on—that ho was not in any
wise trammelled—bnt that he was regarded as
an independent Whig, and was elected aa such.
As such, he should discharge bis duties here,
and without regard to dictation from home.—

Uoltod State*. (Jar Council now control* the rote of'th*

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. Admit it
for the sake of this argument. Bat what Sir,
Is the character of this oath? 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- ;

If they can, that what -I dm about to read to not

member, as they have the evidence to contradict,
it, if not,, if they do not produce it and read it
to this Jlonse, they tnnsi/abide bythe,legal in

they cannot prove this document spurious by

«wwu«4 to j»ad it as follows:,
~uae wont or comment fir, upon. thin oath,
first one, requires (hat its members shall, “of
of their Qtm free will swear to' conceal otto the
name of the order, and of coarse most, if asked
the question, either lie or break their 'oath. If
they break their oath, they must lon their stand
ing in this virtuous body. 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

which requires of them as a condition of* admis

—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

they are to be branded as perjurers andpuxsued

heart of'steel, who will-dare to spurn and defy

Again, Sir* by this oath wo see who jand who
oily are to bo toted for, for office—to wit "Mat

Uiie, sir* by t every. f»ir rule of construction,

.81r, when this order first mado itself known to
the world anditsobjectwaa declared'to be the
correction of‘present abuses in the' administra

propriety object; that abuses exist which
. should be corrected if needbe by legislation, and
in this, just view of the caseall naturalized could
.not but concur. But When, Bir,ihtho process of
