A society of the K. G. C., or Knights of the Golden Circle, will be formed in this city at \u00a0an early day. The originators of this mystic order were certain military characters who resided in \u00a0Lexington, Kentucky\u2014the spring of 1854 being the date of its organization. The first object of \u00a0the organization was to cultivate a martial spirit among the people of the South. The second \u00a0object was to have a military organization in the South fully capable of defending our social and \u00a0political rights from all assaults from our enemies at home and abroad. The past history and \u00a0present aspects of our political affairs seemed to demand that an organization such as the K. G. \u00a0C., fully armed and equipped and officered, was absolutely necessary. The order has steadily \u00a0grown until now it numbers nearly forty thousand members, who are scattered over the Southern \u00a0States of the Union, and the Northern States of Mexico. No society of the kind has in this \u00a0country combined such an amount of talent, resources or numbers as has this. If we understand \u00a0correctly, the present object of the K. G. C., is the invasion of Mexico. It is well known, that in \u00a0this distracted country a cruel war has raged with scarce an intermission, for the past ten years. \u00a0The country has been weakened by these intestine feuds; agriculture, commerce and manufacture \u00a0have languished and the Mexican people have groaned under the oppression and tyranny of rival \u00a0chieftains. At the present time there are two parties in Mexico, contending for the supremacy of \u00a0the government. On the one hand stands the church party, with Miramon as their leader. On the \u00a0other hand stands the liberal party, with Juarez as their leader. Our Minister to Mexico, Mr. \u00a0McLane, has recently made a treaty with Juarez, which will be one of vast benefit to our \u00a0government. Our government has already recognized the Liberal party as being the government \u00a0of Mexico. The K. G. C.’s have already espoused the cause of the Liberals, and we are informed \u00a0that it is their fixed determination to place it at the head of the Mexican Government, and thus \u00a0aid them in restoring peace and harmony to a distracted country and an oppressed people. Our \u00a0citizens will be addressed shortly on the subject of armed intervention in the affairs of Mexico, \u00a0by one of the most distinguished of the “Knights of the Golden Circle,” when we hope to see a \u00a0large turn out. We speak what we know, or, as Hamlet would say, “by the Card,” on this \u00a0subject. The statements we have made in this connection have been derived from parties who \u00a0are perfectly reliable and who are entitled to respectful consideration. Long live the K. G. C.’s\u2014 Vicksburg Sun<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
