The subjoined ext rao ts from kb? ritual of tho "Uni?n League of America" ia traueferred, verbatim ei Urerntim* #oin ft tattered origina!, which, after seeing much ,hard sor vioo in the States of Louisiana and Mississippi, fell into the hands of '^i? of the J-fa'alrt correspondents "a it section of tho country. Ita authenticity is attested by tho certifi? cate and Signatures of "J. M. Ed? munds,.'President National Council Union League of America," ?nd ..Theodore F. Stokes, Recording Secretary." It is all stupid bosh, of co rse; but the fact that this organi? zation numbers from ten to fifty thousand negro members in every Southern State, ench of whom is compelled to contribute fifty cents a week-two dollars a month-of his hard-earned money to sustain the peripatetic emissaries of the League, renders it at least as wicked as it is powerful. Tho formula of initiation would seem to be a clumsy burlesque on Masonry. The only point in tho whole thing lies in tho oath that the candidate "will voto only for and none but those who advocate and support the great principles of the League, to fill any office of honor, profit or trust, in either the State or general Government." All the twad? dle about education and the rest of it, is only so much chaff to cover up this grain of corn. By tho fancied terrors of this oath, and tho accom? panying red fire and tom-foolery, thousands of negroes have been con? trolled in their electoral franchise and compelled to vote for just such candidates ns the carpet-baggers chose to put before them. It was the discovery of this identical ritual and the use the Democrats made ol it in convincing the negroes that the obligation they had taken was illegal and not binding upon them, which carried the State of Mississippi and enabled the Democrats to defeat the proposed Constitution with negro votes. The following extracts have been made from the ritual: The officers of a Council of the U, L. A. area President, vice-President Assistant vice-President, Treasurer Secretary, Marshal, Herald, Sentinel and Chaplain. The P. occupies the principal sta tipn in the room, V. P. and A. V. P at opposite end and in front of th< P., Tv at the left hand of the P., Seo at right band of P., M. near the V P., H. within tho inner door, S within the outer door, and Chaplaii at the centre of the room, on th right. The emblems are an altar, Hoi; Bible, Declaration of Independence Constitution of the United States flag of the Union, censer of incense sword, gavel, ballot-box and sickle shuttle, anvil or other emblem c industry. [The fire of liberty to be kindle in the censer is obtained by dissol\ ing one pound of gum myrrh in ha a gallon of alcohol. Saturate spongo with a small portion of thi liquid, place the sponge in an iro vessel, nnd set it on fire. A littl chloride of strontia, in the propoi tion of one to eight of the above soli tion, sprinkled on the sponge, wi change the Hame to a a beautiful rei These aro to be found at most druj gists', or, if theso cannot be ol tained, a taper or caudle may I substituted.] The Presideut assumes the Cha and gives one rap with tho gavel. The Marshal then places the fla and emblems upon tho altar, tl books being open and the swoi lying across them, in which positio they will remain during the sessic of C. The Marshal ascertains if any a: awaiting initiation into our Loy League. Tho Assistant vice-President, a companied by tho Marshal, retires the ante-room, and having, in di form, udmiuistered tho pledge of s crecy to each and every one presen makes known to thom thc objects i the League and propounds to ea< the requisite interrogatories as pr vided in tho ritual. After detailing the objects of tl order and propounding a series questions, all of which being a swered in the affirmative by tho seeking admission within the charnu circle of loyalty, tho marshal co ducts tho candidates to the door the lodge, when the private signal given, and admittance bei' .gobtaine the Vico-Presideut addresses the ca didates on tho truo principles popular government, liberty, educ tion, partizan strife and tho boon freedom, winding up by stating tl; the caudidato is required to tak< serious and binding obligation, the candidate agrees, ho is permitt to approach tho altar and the Chu lain makes a prayer. Tho prayer concluded, the room darkened uud the Marshal lights t fire of liberty, to burn during 1 administration of thc obligation; t members aro then notified to jr. hands in a circle around the can dates and tho altar, aud the Presid? then calls upon tho candidato to ph his left hand on the national flag a raise his right hand toward IIea\ and repeat after him the follow: obligation: I, (each repeating his own nam with an uplifted hand, in the p aenco of God and these witnesses, solemnly swear, (or affirm, if o scientiously opposed,) without m fend the Constitution and Govern? ment of the Ignited States of Ameri? ca, one n?d indivisible, and the flag thereof, against nil enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will vote only for and none bnt those who advocate and support the great principles eet forth by ibis League, to fill any office of honor, profit or trust, in eitbei the State or General Government; and 'hat if ever called to fill any office I will faithfully carry out the principles set forth by this League. And further, that I will protect and defend oil worthy members of the Union League of America, and that I will never, in any manner or form, di ulge or make known to any person or persons, not worthy members of this organization, any of the signs, pass-words, grips, proceedings, do signs, debates or plans of this or any other Council of this organization, unless wheu engaged in admitting new members, and with my right baud on tho Holy Bible, Declaration of Independence and the Constitu? tion of the United States of America, I acknowledge myself firmly bound and pledged to the faithful perform? ance of this my solemn obligation, so help me God. Besponse by the Members-To this we pledge ourselves. President-Gentlemen, around you is a band of brothers alike sacredly pledged. This circle is never to be broken by treachery. Response by the Members-Never. President-Brothers, will you en? large your circle to admit new mem? bers? Besponse bv the Members-We will. President-Prepare then for acces? sions to your ranks. The circle will .here be opened and the new mem? bers admitted. President-With clasped and up? lifted hands, repeat after me the free? man's pledge: To defend and per? petuate freedom, political equality and an indivisible Union, I pledge my life, my fortune and my sacred honor. So help mo God. Here follows a patriotic ode at the discretion of the C. The members of the council will uow be seated, aud the candidates will take their places before the altar. The P. will then deliver the charge, ns follows: The oath which you have taken of your own free will and accord cannot be violated without leaving the stain of perjury on your soul, "lou have de? clared that under God, your first and highest allegiance is to the Govern? ment of the United States of Ame? rica, one and indivisible. You have taken a solemn oath of allegiance upon the Holy Bible, Constitution and Declaration of Independence lying within the folds of the flag of the Union. These contain the en? during records of our rights and privileges. The symbols of industry which you greet upon tho altar are to remind you of the great purposes of our order, and to represent the foundation upon which our institu? tion rests. To strengthen and elevate this is to add to the graudour aud durability of the structure we uphold. Thc Bible contains man's moral code and the principles of religious faith. Tho Declaration of Indepen? dence declares as self-evident truths that all men are created equal, en? dowed by their Creator with inaliena? ble rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The Constitution is an instrument reducing to practice the precepts of the Declaration. It is liberty regulated by law. Tho sword is a weapon of defence and protection. Lastly, the light you behold burning upon the alt ir is emblematical of the sacred fires of liberty, which burn forever in the hearts and breasts of true patriots. We calculate the spirit of peace as essential to national happiness and prosperity, but when foreign foes or traitorous hands attempt to rob us of our national inheritance, let our gleaming swords leap from their rests, to guard the temple of our liberties. The M. instructs the new members in the signs, ?co. When these have, been imparted, the P. may give a short history of the origin, present condition aud futuro prospects of the organization. He should impress upon thc members the impropriety ot using tho signs, Arc, too often or carelessly, as it detracts from their value and increases their chances of exposure. It is enjoined upon each officer to commit to memory hi3 part of the initiatory ceremony. Any portion of tho foregoing chargo may bo omitted, at the discre? tion of the P., and other appropriate words may bo substituted. The council room should be ren? dered attractive by its emblems and ornaments and the neatness and order which must always prevail. It should bo made instructive by cere? monies, the discussions and by a good supply of appropriate reading matter. Should any person become a member who cannot read with facility, he should ai once be instruct? ed by some brother who will volun? tarily undertake that duty. It is incumbent upon the President to see that this is done. 'Wo must thus banish ignorance from our counoil. ".Cliuton, Iowa, has a saw-mill that employs 1,000 men. In the contest b?ttveen tho radical and the Democratic partier;, in the approaching election, the following points of difference present them? selves: Tpe Republicans charge the Demo-. crabs Os being a war party, jftn^dijtbjtf their ?noces? will promulgate stine and disorder in the country,, In re? ply, the Democrats were the peace party in 1860, and are the peaco party now-and ns a guarantee of their principles have placed a gentle? man in civil life at the head of their ticket; while on the other hand, the Republican is the war party of tho country. It began the war in 1860, and its action in making the civil powers of ten States subordinate to tho military, and in nominating the General of the armies for the Presi? dency, is proof enough of its belli? gerent attitude. Under Democratic rule, previous to 1860, the expenses of the Govern? ment did not exceed $90,000,000 per annum. In 1866, in time of peace, under a Republican administration, thc expenses were $460,000,000. Government bonds, undera Demo? cratic administration, were held at $1.16. Under tho Republican rule these bonds now sell at 70 cents. While the Democrats were in power, the average tax of each voter in the United States was about $15 per head. Under the Republican administration of 1867, it was about an average of $77 to each voter. The Democrats, in I860, had a public debt of only $20,000,000. Tho Republicans have swelled it up to $2,800,000,000. Tho average liability of each voter under the public debt of 1860, was about $3.50. The average liability of each voter under the present debt is about $466.00. Under Democratic rule, the coun? try was prosperous and happy. Pub? lic officers discharged their duty faith? fully; and bribery, corruption and ? swindling iu high places was rarely heard of. Under Republican rule, the people aro at the mercy of an irresponsible military and negro power. Life and property are un? safe, and liberty has fled the laud. Swiudliug and corruption is the order of the day among those in power, and the amounts annually stolen from the I Treasury would exceed tho whole ex I penses of the Government, while the Democrats were in power. Before the present party came into power. Congress legislated for the common welfare. The Republioan Congress has legislated only for its party, and with the sole object of perpetuating its power. A Republi? can form of Government, while in the hands of the Democrats, was a working success. Under the rule of the Republican party, it is an acknow? ledged failure. With such facts before the people, they surely ought not to hesitate which of these two parties commends itself most to their favor. If they value peaco, liberty and happiness, they will support that party whose record is the safest guarantee of such blessings. If, on the other hand, they prefer taxation, strife, discord, the loss of national character, and the destruction of the public credit, mili? tary trials and military prisons, anarchy and universal misrule, then they will support the party whoso record stinks with these outrages upon those who trusted it.

' Hi? reply affords ah illustration of the straightened condition of so many in the Sooth, though the business men of Columbia, which was burned in tho war, have no doubt been under a more severo stress than the mercan? tile communities of other Southern towns not thus afflicted. The letter affords certainly a golden exhibition of honesty and candor. The dispo? sition not to uso credit where it can? not bo made profitable, is one which distinguishes those whose transac? tions are conducted on proper moral and business prinoiples, and we doubt not is characteristic of the merchants of the South generally.
