"k. g. c.w
The President of the order of the
Knights of the Golden Circle, G -eo.
W. L. Bickley, has lately issued
a prort unciamento from his present
headquarters in Fort Warren, sus
pending the operations of the " Cir
cle" until 1871), when a congress of
the order will be held at Washing
ton with open doors, and the corner
stone of the "Saxon University"
will be laid. He releases all mem
bers of the military department from
the obligation of secrecy pertaining
to the order and from allegiance to
the same, and makes a lengthy vin
dication of the order, giving its rise,
progress and destiny. He denies
that the order partook of a partisan
character, and affirms that every
member thereof was sworn to obey
the laws of the United States, and
to do no act inconsistent with the
hoilor and dignity of the Govern
ment and which was not permitted
by the statute laws, by treaties, by
morality and by the common polity
aud comity of nations. The policy
and aim of the order were to extend
the area of Saxon civilization upon
the North American continent, by
means strictly legitimate aud just—
the principle of immigration forming
the base of its movements.
Against the charges mode from
time to time, ascribing a partisan or
sectarian character to the order, Mr.
Bickley puts in the following de
murrer :
" By examining, the files of the
partisan press for ten years past, we
shall see that the order has been de
nounced in one place as an Abolition
concern ; in another as a Free Soil
Democratic Order ; in Still another a
Breckinridge secession scheme ; aud
in still other places it was claimed
to be " Know-Nothingism " iu a new
form. 1 have met and answered
these charges wherever I liav* heard
them, aud I well remember that at
Kooxville, iu the summer of i860, I
met and publicly confronted the
electors of three parties, each of
whom charged the Golden Circle
with being the pet scheme of one of
the others. The present loyal Gov
ernor of Tennessee listened to that
speech, aud 1 am confident that he
would, if necessary, testify to the
truth of this declaration. However,
as it could not be all these thiugs,
uuless, chamelion-like, or like too
many American politicians, it conld
change its characteristics to suit
every emergency, I leave time and
history to vindicate the political par
ties as well as the order. As it was.
none of these things, 1 consider it
my duty to state what it was in as
few words as possible. I lay it
down as a demonstrable fact that the
whole scheme of the Golden Circle
was, and still is, a lawful and just
American enterprise, looking only to
the interest of one common country,
under the guiding genius of Chris
tian civilization; that it was not
sectional ; was not partisan, was not
sectarian, was not treasonable ; and
was and is still consistent with all
the teachings of our republican and
Christian theories, obedient to pub
lic and muuicipal law, and never yet
was the promoter of an act incon
sistent with morality, justice, hu
manity or national glory."
From the closing passages in Mr.
Bickley 's proclamation, we extract
what follows : . •
" Another general charge must bo
noticed. 1 «, iias been said and writ
Urn and published by numerous per
sons that the Golden Circle forced
the issue of secession—precipitated
the South into revolution. For
tunately, the intelligence of the
country is too great to listen seri
ously to this charge. The fact is,
that from the earliest period of our
national history there has been a
considerable part of the country to
whom slavery was an eyesore, and
in their denunciations of a system
they have come in course of years to
associate the Southern people with
everything dishonorable, mean and
vulgar. This persistent abuse of a
people has necessarily produced
counter feelings of hatred and con
tempt, and fus early as 1820, forty
years before the actual attempt to
disrupt the Union, and a quarter of a
century before such an order as the
Golden Circle was even conceived,
the fanatics of Massachusetts and
South Carolina would have precipi
tated us into civil war but for the
firmness of President Jackson. The
revolution of the past four years was
the bursting of an old political sore,
and, though it has inflicted such
suffering on the body politic, we
may hope thàt the national health
will now be greatly improved. This
will, however, much depend upon
the silence of the Sumners, Phil
lipses, Keitts, Wades, Yanceys, &c.,
North and South. Because a man
is a slavery advocate, or an advocate
for the abolition of the institution,
does that place him beyond the pale
of civilization, and justify the whole
sale abuse which we find the fanatics
of both sections so freely allowing
themselves to express î I am a
Southern born man and think I know
that people, and I as readily admit
their faults as I do my own ; but I
assert that, as a people, they have
no superiors in the higher and nobler
qualities of human nature. For four
teen years a resident in the North, I
think myself qualified to pass my
opinion on the Northern masses ;
and while their pursuits and habits
are different from those of the South,
yet a greater people does not control
civilization in any part of the earth.
They have faults, and glaring ones,
but does that justify me in regard
ing them as all fanatics or craven
wretches ? Certainly not. I have
found generous and warm friends in
the North, as I have in the South,
and when we dispassionately com
pare them we shall find that the
errors and defects of each only bring
out more palpably the virtues of the
other.
" It any man prefers negro society
to that of white people, let him go to
San Domingo ; as for myself, being
a white man, I prefer white society.
And while I would not again reduce
the negro to bondage, I would gladly
see the last one of the race returned
to his own native Africa ; and if this
is not done, then I respectfully sug
gest it as my opinion, founded upon
observations of the negro in the
North and in the South, that the
black man will find that he has lost
more joys and real happiness in leav
ing his Southern home than he has
found in tin- purlieus of Northern
cities."
A.C lkvrii H oax .—"Sketches of
scenes at the late burning of Bar
num's Museum," was the caption of
a plausible hoax lately palmed off
through the columns of the New
York Times upon its readers and
swallowed by numerous members of
the "discerning public." This capi
tal "sell" told how the Tribune's
reporter saw and heard the most aw
ful sights and sounds proceed from
the. " menagerie apartment" of the
museum while passing through the
fiery ordeal. The ^yells, roars, howls,
growls aud screams which issued
from the poor dumb and doomed ani
mals, were perfectly terrific, and
heard at the distance of .half a mile.
The African lion, the Bengal tiger,
the Polar bear, the whales and alli
gators, the monkeys and kangaroos,
the anacondas, boa-constrictors and
rattlesnakes—together with the "hap
py family" of rats, cats, owls, adders,
rabbits, &c., all had their several
parts to perform in the tragic scene ;
and in the most approved terrific
manner were they made to perform
them by the graphic pen of Mr.
Junius Brown, in the city news col
umn of the Tribune. The combats
of the lions and tigers, the hissings
and contortions of the snakes, the
struggles of whales and alligators in
the boiling tanks—these were a few
of the soul harrowing incidents at
tending the conflagration, "defying
description^" though equally well
"imagined" and described by the
author in his "soaring flights on fan
cy's wing."
When it is known that this "live
stoçk" of Barnum's consisted mainly
of "stuffed animals," the ingenuity
of the hoax is apparent and the
adroitness with which the details are
handled, makes it one of the best
" sells " of the season.
The New York Sun, commenting
on the Tribune's report about the
animals, says it is incomplete, and
proceeds to supply the omission as
j follows :
"The whale did not burn up ; it
was swallowed by the enormous alli
gator ; the anaconda then swallowed
the alligator ; the "Dying Brigand"
swallowed the anaconda ; the Tri
bune reporter swallowed the brigand ;
and then the reporter perished mis
erably, in attempting to describe his
after-dinner emotions. This may be
deemed improbable by some persons ;
not so ; stranger things are recorded ;
aman in Philadelphia swallowed the
Tribune's report,"
