true, I pledge myself to prove in'a court of jus
tice if the opportunity be afforded me. They are
contained in a'book, one copy of which" is fur
nished to each Council. The f Instructor" has
possession of it and aJministors the oath from it,
but the members are not allowed to have it. I
suppose for the same reason that Roman Catholic
PriesU lefuse to let their members read the bible,
because they are too ignorant to read and under
stand it.-" I thought it strange that they as an or
der should adopt a course they so much disappro
ved in othfers. " '. ".
The candidate is first propped by a member of
the Order, to the Council without bis knowledge.
Three negative votes black balls him.- If elected
-lie is' secretly requested to present himself in the
anti-room of the Gojuncil, when an officer appears
from within and administers to him the following
oath : :L-.:; ? : '. : ' '
I , , do solemnly .swear upon this sacred
-volume (or cross) before Almighty God and these
witnesses, that I will not divulge any question
proposed to me here, whether I become a member
of the order or not, and that I will never under
any circumstances whatever, mention the name of
any person I may see present during any of the
. proceedings, or that I know such an Order to be
in existence, and that I will give a true answer to
ny question, asked of me, oo help ine God,
.Which being taken by the candidate, the officer
proceeds to propound the following interrogations,
before reporting to the Council his fitness for initi
ation:. . . ' ' ' " ' ' ,
t. What is your name 1 2. What is your age 1
Z. - Where is your residence 1 4. In your religious
belief are you a Roman Catholic 1 5. Where were
you born? . 6. Where were your parents born'?
7. Is your wife a Roman Catholic ? 8. Did either
of your ancestors take part in the American Rev,
olution? - Aie you willing to use" all the influence
you possess in favor of Native born American
citizens, for all offices of honor, trust, or proGt in
the gift of the people; and do you promise to
vote for them to the exclusion of all aliens and
foreigners, and Roman Catholics in particular, for
all State, or government offices? 10. Who invi
ted you to be present onthis occasion ?
If the candidate's answers are satisfactory to
these questions, he is taken in the Council by two
officers, led up to the President of the Council,
who administers the following oath in the first de
gree: , . , ,. .- V, ." "
" I , voluntarily : nd freely do solemnly
promise and swear before Almighty God and these
witnesses around roe assembled, that 1 will not,
under any circumstances whatever divulge or
make known to any person or persons, either
directly or indirectly, or to any human being other
than those I shall know to b3 good aud true mem
ber of this Order, the name, secrets, mysteries,
or objects of the same, or cause or allow the same
to be done by others, if within my power to pre
vent' the same. Binding myself ruder the no
less penalty than that of being excommunicated
from the order, and having my name posted and
circulated throughout the different Councils of the
Order, as a traitor and perjurer to both my God
And country, and as a being unworthy to be em
ployed, entrusted, countenanced, or supported in
any business transaction whatever, and. as a per
bon totally unworthy ef the coniMence or ait goocr
men ; a-i c2 ?-f - whom the Snw- of scorn shall
ever ba pointed- I furthermore premise that it' I
6hould hereafter re expelled from, or voluntarily
lcavo this Order, I wiil consider this obligation as
binding out of it as in it. All of which foregoing
I voluntarily and freely subscribe tc, so help me
God!"
The President then addresses the new members
as follows : V
" Sly Brothers The Order which lias now re
ceived you as members, may with all propriety
bo considered a sooret organization. -It, is so se
cret in fact, that if you were placed before a legal
tribunal, and there sworn to tell the truth, the
whole truth j and nothing but the truth, you could
not for your lives reveal the name of that band of
-brothers among whom your name now stands en
rolled ijind further than this, when you retire
from this meeting, you will return to your family
and friends as ignorant as when you came, so far
as the name of this Order is concerned.
"In common with ourselves you " Know Noth
ing," and let it be your stern resolve through life
to " Know Nothing" that will at all conflict ith
the high and exalted duties you owe to your God,
$-our country, and yourselves, so far as regards
the preservation of American liberty, whtch can
alone be secured to ourselves and our children by
the entire and absolute exclusion of all foreign in
fluence in those matters which appertain to our
government policy."
After the delivery of this address, the candidate
is referred to the Instructor, who teaches him the
signs and grips and in what manner to obtain en
trance into the Council. . He is then Master of the
first Degree, and signs Lis name to the register,
after which the following oath is taken :
. I, ' , do solemnly promise and swear le-
fore Almighty God, and these witnesses, that I
' will not, under any circumstances, divulge or make
known the name of this Order, or its objects JtP any
person or persons in the world, unless to those
.whom I may know to belong to this Ordei, in good
and regular standing. ' f" '
" And I furthermore promise and swear that I
will neither write, print, paint, cut, carve, engrave,
embross, stamp, stain or mark iny secrets of this
order on any thing . moveable or immoveable : on
the earth or the sea, whereby said secrets, or any
. part thereof, the name of the Order, its operations,
.the names of iu officers, or the names of its mcm
. bers, or its place of meeting, may become known
- to those whe have not received the first and sec-
J .1 -f il.:.. rv.i i
r uiiu ucgivn ot iuia viutr in uue jonn . nor .-jj j
( cause -or permit the 'same to be done, if within my
power to prevent the same. - , .
" And I furthermore promise and swear that I
will always conform to the will of the majority of
the members of this Order, in the selection of can-
- lidates to fill every office of honor, profit or trust,
within the gift of the people ; provided such can
didates shall hava been born on , American soil,
and shall have been born on American soil, and
"ball have been educated in American institutions,
and that I will use all the influence I may pos
ses to elect all such candidates whom I may
know to be opposed to all foreign influence. Po
pery, Jesuitism and Catholicism, without any hes
itataon on my part aever. . Anil I furthermore
promiM and swear that I will etrictly conform to
and abide by the oath I have now taken, and that
I will pay all strict obedience to the constitution,
laws,' rules, ritual and edicts cf the honorable
Grand Council of this Order, of the State of Penn
sylvania, and to the by-laws of Council No. 20 1,
to which I now belong, or to those of any other
Grand Subordinate Council from which I -may
hereafter hail, binding myself under the no' less
penalties thaa are attached or belong to those who
violate the first degree of this Order, All the
foregoing I voluntarily and freely subscribe to of
my own free will and accord, so help me God."
I have thus given the forms as far as the second
degree. I never went further. . It will be a mat
ter of regret all my life that I ever went as far as
I did. -' I have now, however, done all I can to
atoneforit. .
I may add before closing this communication,
that the exposure published in the Pcnusylvanian
last summer, is substantially correct, and was so
considered at that time . in the Council, r I .was.
then a member and heard it discussed. - "M

From Philadelphia.
Conespondence of the Democrat Sentinel.
. Philadelphia, March 18, 1855.
The extensive library of Edward D. Ingraham,
Esq., who died a few month since, is advertised
for sale on the 20t inst. It forms the largest
p.ivate library in Philadelphia, and contains 15,
000 volumes. Mr. Ingraham was quite a biblio
maniac, and th great passion of his life was the
accumulation of rare books, engravings, auto
graphs, and other literary curiosities. His collecr
tion embraces works on all subjects, and contains
many rare editions of standard works. Such, fo:
instance, as a copy of the original edition of Sbaks
peareV works, printed in the 17th century. Somo
idea may be formed of its extent, by the fact that
the printed catalogue and supplement of works
on sale, contains 250. large pages.. Mr. Ingra
ham was a member of our br cf some eminence,
and was almost as much noted for his brilliancy
of wit and readiness at repartee, as for his love of
books. . ' . . ,
Many anecdotes are told of his powers of sar
casm. On the occasion of his last appearance in
Court, he had as an antagonist cne of our most
learned lawyers, and the case being sharply con
tested, there was some display of feeling; Mr.
Ingraham reserved Ins fire until his closing speech.
In the course of it he had occasion to allude to the
value which labor lestows nron rstr material,
when he said : ." Your honor, here is a sheet of
phper a piece of raw material, whose value is at
most, say one cent. But, sir, let a legal gentle
man like my learned antagonist, Mr. , write
an elaborate and careful legal opinion upon it and
how immensely it rises in value! Why, 6ir,
from being worth one penny it would increase
one hundred per cent, and be worth at least tiro
ceiiU!" ...
The police made a descent the other night upon
one of our fashionable gambling house, in conse
quence of a stranger having made oath before cn
Alderman that he had been f eeced out of $700 at
the establishment thejiight before. They found a
faro nank in full operation, with some twenty-five
or thirty visiters, who were nearly all gentlemen
who occupy respectaiiie positions m the cify.' Tiie
place was very fashionably fitted i:p, and is loca
ted in Chestnut street, a few doors east cf Tenth.
At eleven o'clock every night an excellent snpjKT
was serred up, .with th choicest viands of the
season. It has been in operation for some ears,,
and: there are others here of a similar character,
which any stranger can find access to in twenty
four hours, but which, cf course, cur "vigilant
rolicemen" are supposed to know nothing abviit.
Our politicians aro busy making nominat ions'
for the local offices, to be voted for at the coming
Spring election". In the choice of Aldermen con
siderable interest is felt, as the station is quite lu
crative in some localities. It is amusing to witr
f ness the efforts of some of the aspirants for this
station who are totally unfitted for it in every par
ticular, and whose " claim" conld only be estab
lished by construing the popular belief that Alder
men have large stomachs', into an argument that
because a man has a large abdomen he should be
an Alderman. " . ; .V
In the Ward in which your correspondent has
the distinguished honor of "exercising the privi
lege of a freemen," we have an aspirant of this
character, but as some of us are foolish enough to
require some slight mental qualifications in pre
ference to mere rotundity of body, we shall proba
bly have a sharp contest and march our opposing
forces to the ballot boxes "with the stirring inscrip
tions of "brain" upon tho one and "belly upon
the other banner. While we hope "brain" may
triumph, it is perhaps of but little consequence,
for practically, our Aldermen have so simplified
the legal code that little or no skill whatever is re
quired to administer it. ; - .
The grand new principle which, so far as their
jurisdiction extends, does away with all uncertain
ty of the law, and thus accomplishes wht refor
mer "nave vainly endeavored for centuries to ac
complish in higher spheres of Judicial action, is
simply to always give judgment for the plaintiff.
It matters not a whit which party is right or
wrong, what is the nature of the transaction or
the merits of the case, there is an argument that
far more deeply impresses their minds than any
mere quibbles of right or wrong which might be
mooted pro or con in the case at issue, in the fact
that by giving judgment fo" the plaintiff (they are
sure of their costs, and if they do not they may
not receive them. The only consolation which
unfortunate defendants who are continually being
unjustly mulcted by this system have, is the fact
that they loo can become plaintiffs on Pnother oc
casion or before another Alderman with precisely
similar results.
A late Pittsburg paper stale that a secret or
ganization exists among the blacks of that city,
having for its object the abduction of the slaves or
sen-ants of Southern gentlemen traveling through
that city, and pledged to adhere to each other by
oaths of the most sacred choracter. V Associations
of a somewhat similar character have been in op
eration among some of the negroes of this city for
some years past. - The leading man of the organi
zation, a colored man who had accumulated a
handsome little fortune, died last summer. In his
house he had several false partitions for the con
cealment of fugitives.
By the arrival of the Pacific, v o have ten clays
later news from Europe. A battle had occurred
at Enpatoria, between 40,000 Russians under com
J mand of Gen. Liprandi, and the Turks under com
mand of Omar Pasha, assisted by portion of the
English fleet, in which the Russians were repulsed J
with a loss of COO men, while the Turks lost but
15 killed and 35 wounded. No important dem
onstration had recently taken place before S"bas
topol. but as the English had ordered 5,000 hos
pital beds from Constantinople, is supposed that
an assault will soon be made. Another ministe
rial crisis had occurred in Englana, but it is not
likely to result in any great change of the Cabinet.
Lord Palmerston continues at Us head Graham,
Herbert and Gladstone retire,' and Lord John Rus
sell is to come in after concluding bis Vienna mis
sion. Louis Napoleon is quite anxious " to go to
Sebastopol to superintend the military operations
there, but England and Austria both advise him
against doing so". Neither of those nations would
much relish the idea of seeing him come out of
this contest with great military eclat. It would
be but poor consolation even to overthrow a Ni
cholas by establishing a Napoleon if, indeed, we
can suppose tho nephew of his uncle to posses a
tithe of the brilliant military talents which made
the gredt founder of his house the terror-of all tho
potentates of Europe. ; .
The Americans in Paris, gave a splendid ball on
the 22d of February, which was attended by near
ly all of the Foreign Ambassadors, the leading
members of the French government, aud the most
distinguished In literature, the arts, and politics,
to be found in the city.
By the steamship Africa we have four days la
ter news, the most important feature of which is
the startling intelligence that the E.nperor of Rus
sia is dead. The fact had been announced in both
houses of the Euglish Parliament. Surmises were
afloat that he had been assassinated, but it was
generally believed he had died of apoplexy after
an attack of influenza. In consequence of this
event, expectations of peace were growing much
stronger.
Our markets have. not recently undergone any
important change. Beef cattle sell at the exhor
bitcnt rate of from $10 to $13. Flour commands
$9,12 to $9.25 per barrel ; Rye Flour, 86 ;Ccrn
Meal, $4,18i; Wheat se'.ls for from $2,15 to $2,C0;
Rye, $1,25 ; Corn, 90a92c.; Oats, 54a55c

Another Picture. Here is an admirable
picture of Gov. Pollock, drawn to the life by
the Chansbersburg Transript, the Know-Nothing
organ of FraDklin county. The Tran
script, in noticing some remarks on the Gov
ernor's appointment made by us two weeks
ago, thus happily expresses its sentiments :
' This picture drawn by the Lancaster In
telligencer is too true, but we deny it to be a
correct representation of Know Nothing con
sistency. It is, however a lamentable exposi
tion of tha weakness of a vain pretender who
was bolstered and buoyed up by the invincible
power. It is a sad exemplification of the de
ception often practiced by public men under
tho mask of principle and patriotism. It is
an instance in which a self confident and mu
lish disposition has hung mill-stones around
the neck of its stultified victim, sinking him
at once into the sea of nothingness and con
tempt. Honest and true Americans who arc
beginning to understand the duplicity of Gov.
Pollock, are repudiating him by hundreds,
thus hurling back the accusation that easts
reflection upon the consistency of their party."
Who will not aay that the Know-Nothings
are a united and harmonious partv ? Go ahead
