lengthy protest accompanied the re?
port against the action of the Honse
oxpclling tho negroes. Ho reviewed
the constitutional question, and
stated that the constitution clearly
gave th? negroes tho right to hold
office. 1 Pending tho reading, a mo?
tion was ni ado to table it, as a direct
insult to the House, but the motion
was not sustained.
A resolution was adopted, to the
effect that that portion of the com?
munication of the Governor reflect?
ing upon tile action deciding the eli?
gibility pf free persons' of color

JRcsoleed, That said communication
is not warranted by the resolution
upon which tho Govoruor Was re?
quested to act? abd that the members
of each House aro gudges of the

of their own conscience-and not his

A resolution was passed, to swear
in the members having the next
highest vote, who are not ineligible

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

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.

?AimKfc Caroon.--The folio wirig is
aa, extract-from a letter of a. mer?
chant of Oolumbifl!/ Sob th Carolina,
in reply to a letter from a merchant
bf this city, says the Baltimore Sun,
offering hlOvSuqh assistance in credit
as h}sj&s}nesfj might ?require. ' 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.

proof of that. I have not made

I owe not a cent. Tho amount
