THE CINCINNATI KNOW NOTHING OUTRAGES IN EUROPE. The Washington Union of a recent date has an article in which it speaks of the use made by the despots of Europe of the atrocious outrages committed by the know nothings there at their recent city election. It sayB: "A long and uninterrupted career of prosperity not unfrequently produces a spirit of vain self reliance, a forgetfulness of means by which successful ends have been accomplished, which generally terminates, in the most disastrous consequences. Our, rapid growth and prosperity as a nation is without precedent in history, and yet know-nothingism in its blindness and fa-! naticism, forgetting the main source of our, national greatness, would destroy immigration by penalties and persecutions, religious teats and civil disqualifications. The annual drain upon the population and wealth of Oreat Britain caused by the free institutions, low priced lands and high wages of labor in the United States has already be-1 come a deep source of apprehension to the gorerament of that country while on the continent, particularly among the German powers, the feelings is even stronger. The Atrocious outrages committed by the know nothings upon the persons and property of lite German naturalised citizens of Cincinnati during the late municipal elections have been used, and successfully used, by different European governments, with the view of checking emigration from their dominions. Not only were the full particulars of the Cincinnati outrage published in nearly all the official papers of Germany, but in the city of Dresden these disgraceful particulars of know nothing tyranny Md Mood-thirsty violence were furnished to the people through the medium of handbills, posted in the most conspicuous placea." -'as?

Comment is unnecessary. E-— LIQUOR PROSECUTION.—Dr. Pence was tried before Esq. Harper, by a Jury of Twelve, on Saturday last, for violating the Liquor Law, in selling mixed and drugged Liquor to one Patrick Malooney. The evidence showed that the "Liquor" sold was some Tonic Bitters, with a strong solution of Quinine in it, his usual prescription for the Ague, and that the aforesaid Patrick was under the treatment of the Doctor for tkat complaint at the time of tho sale. The case shared the usual fate of all the liquor prosecutions commenced in the city. The defendant was acquitted, and the County came in for about §30 in cost.—Tcrre Haute Journal.

If I preach that the love of Christ is not bounded by State lines, it charges me with attacking the article of its creed against foreigners "1 am a leachcr. If I teach that unlawful promises are not binding, I shall be charged with justifying the exposure of Know Nothing secrets. If I set the lesson to my pupils wherein J. B. Say says that every accession of a man to a country is an accession of treasure, I am to be published to the world as indoctrinating my pupils in Anti-Know Nothing politics. As I am ever to be gored by this mad young bull, I had as well take it by the horns at once. Let the Order keep its hands off me, the Church and the Constitution, and I will never disturb it: but when it creeps from its dens under the name of "politics" with one arm around a Methodist preacher, and the other around a desperate demagogue, and introduces them to me as united by triple oaths in indissoluble bands of wedlock, I shall not stop to inquire whether its name suits character, or what the delicacies of my calling demand of me but under my Christian impulses of horror, I will pronounce the union adulterous by the prior espousal of the one and the utter prostitution of the other. I will warn the first by the shade of Wesley, to return to his first love ere his candle-stick be removed out of its place and will warn the other by the shade of Washington, to repent and return to the principles of that great man, ere he make republicanism a stench in the nostrils of all true patriots. And if they heed me not, I will, with God's help, drive them out of the land, though it cost my life to do it.

A Mr. William Patton is said to be iis founder, and James W. Barker, late Know No'.hing Hi^h Priest, is it: most influential member. The oaths are the most obscure that could by anv possibility be contrived, and are sworn with the rkcht hand raised toward heaven, the left placed upon tlie right breast, to end by saluting the Holy h'ilde and a sword. No person can become a member except those who were born under the jurisdiction of the United States and it is necessary for their parents to be natives also. No one who is a Catholic, or has Catholic parents, or who is mairied to :i Catholic woman, or is unany Catholic influence whatever, is eligible. There are two degrees. In taking the first, the candidate, ainunO

equally fooli.dj and outrageous, assen'.s tu the following." "Upon ail calls of assistance, all notice of attendance, all si ns of meetings, or other calls from this order, or its officers, or its Congress, I s^h rnnly swear to obey its dictation although it should lead me to Death. And upon all signals of ahu from a Brother of this Fraternity, I solemnly-, swear to reader him all assistance within my power, and if necessary to use violent means for his protection. I do solemnly swear not to shrink when called and although his foe should be my friend. I will freely give my aid in that Brother's protection." •_

In taking the second decree the candi-

follows:

Q. Will you promise to see a brother of the Second Degree righted—that is, if he be found right on a Congress examination —to stand by him even at a Court of Justice if necessary, as a witness or juryman, and to leave all ordinary ties to obey the demand? of Congress in this case? A. I will.

Q. Will you solemnly promise to stand by the Second Degree in preference to those of the First in elections for office, debates, and all other matters, and to support and maintain the authority of the Grand it??" and its officers, first, and the officers of your it.??' next, without hesitation? A. I will.

Q. Will you promise not to associate as a friend with a Roman Catholic? A. I will. Q. Will you promise not to trade with ox patronize a Roman Catholic, if you know of any Protestant in the same business?— A. I will.

Q. Will you promise not to marry, or permit any of your children to marry a Roman Catholic, if in vour power to prevent it? A. I will.

Q. Will you promise to look upon Roman Catholics as persons whose religion is anti-republican, and whose objects are by means of the Jesuits and Priests, to fill your country with their superstitions and bigotry, and thus, by fear and threats, conquer tho land leit vou bv the immortal Washington? A. I will'.
