TUESDAY, AUGUST 21.
Mr. Hilt.
Mr. Benjamin Hill, the worthy candi
date of the American party for Congrats, is
•e ae he and his friends well know and as
we his political opponents arc willing to con
fess, a apeaker of ranch more than ordinary
capacity. And for the very reaeou that he
la so he should, we respectfully submit, be
more careful in the statement of facts.—
The didactic manner which Mr. Hill has
seen fit to assume, becomes a dangerous one
unless the matter is strictly and impartial
ly true, and such we think was not the case
with the speech of the gentleman in this
city on Friday last. For instance he confi
dently asserted that by an aot of Congress
160 acres of land were given to every for
eigner who Betties in theJTeritories of Kan
sas and Nebraska. We have closely exam
ined the acts of the last Congress, and find
uo Buch law. We have satisfied ourselves
that no snch exists; the only thing approach
ing it will be fonnd in the act to establish
the office of Surveyor General of Kansas
ahd Nebraska—Congressional Globe page
2238.
By reference to the provisions of this act
it will be seen that Congress has donated
one-quarter section to every white male citi
zen of the United States, or to every white
male above the age of twenty-one years, who
has declared bis intention to become a citi
zen, on condition of actual settlement and
cultivation for not less than four years.—
“Provided, however, That when lands are
claimed under any of the provisions of this
act by persons who are not citisens of the
United States, patent shall not issue therefor
until they become citizens.” So much fbr
the matter of giving lands to foreigners; it
will be seen that the act- donates land to
none but citizens. But in figures Hr. Hill
becomes absolutely Skimpola-ish ; he really
seems to us to multiply numbers without
any notion of their meaning. We would
respectfully submit to Mr. Hill that the Zol-
lieoft'er is rather an unreliable school for
etatistics, and when he states that 234,000
out of 460,000 emigrants who came to this
couutry in the year 1854 were vagrants, all
the assurance be can command will not
make people believe it. In the first place,
what does he mean by vagrant ? one who
has been properly tried and found guilty of
the offence of vagrancy ? will Mr. Hill as
sert that 234,000 have beeu tried, found
guilty, and punished for this offence?
But if by vagrants he means paupers
chargeable to the public, the statement is
tnr-nstiously improbable. We are iguuraut
oi any census of nor population taken since
♦be year 1850: daring the year ending Jane
1st 1850, we had uut of 2,210,000 foreign-
born resideuts 68,000 paupers—a little more
thun 3 per cent. On the let day of Juno
1850. the entire number of foreign paupers
in the United States was 13,000, a little
over three-fifths of one per cent of the for
eign population. Will auy sane man be
lieve that in the year 1854 the paupers con
stituted more than 50 per ceut of the en
tire immigration? But fortunately we
have a few facte of a later date bearing up
on this subject. The total number of for
eigners who arrived at the port of Boston
for the year 1854 was 23,827. In the last
quarter there were bonded as likely
to become a public charge 215. Taking
thi« a« an uverage for the entire year, we
will have 860 who were bonded or about
3,65 of the entire number of emigrants.—
Tor the benefit of Mr. Hill, we would
-ute that the ln*t quarter which has passed
. this year only tixe have been bonded in
the city of Boston. It will probably also
be cousoling to read the following which we
ei'ip from a New York paper;
“ The emigrants who havo arrived at this
p >rt siuce the the 4th of August have
brought with them #72,005—about #44.66
to each man. woman and. child.”
But of Mr. Hills criminals. We under
stand this gentleman to state what ot the
enitgrante of 1854, 6,666,out of 10,000 were
criminals. Upon what authority does he
muke this statement; this would make the
number over 306,000. Doee he mean to
say that these were charged with orime in
the United States? The census of 1850
will show bow improbable are these state
ments. The whole number of foreign born
criminals in the United States for the year
Juue 1st, 1850 out of a foreign born popula
tion of 2,210 000 was 14,000; yet Mr. Hill
makes the emigrants for one year, contrib
ute more than 21 times this number. Who
will not Bay it is impossible? Mr. Hill
should remember that reckless daring is not
courage, nor will bold assertion always com
mand respect or obtain credence.
“A r EEY Important.”—The Now York
Times has from Paris a reliable statement
of the Emperor Napoleon’s views upon the
Crimea campaign. He acknowledges the
tactics of it to have been his own, ana says,
he is satisfied with the results, as Russia,
as long ago as Deoember, had lost 270,000
men, and the allies had not lost a tenth so
many. Sebastobol is a running sore, drain
ing the Bystem of Russia. “Tne future will
judge my taotioes.” These revelations does
thus:—
’‘It is confidently stated that Louis Napo
leon in person will command in the forth
coming campaign in Moldavia and Russia
Poland. Tne new levy of 140,000 is des
tined for this field of'action and will super
sede the Austrian army of occupation.—
The object of this campaign will be er
ection of Polish republic comprising lh-
ynia, Poland and Bessarabia. In case Prus
sia dissents, an advance made by an Anglo-
French army upon her cis-Rhenikh provinces
and the Baltic fleet, will keep her in oheck,
while Lombardy and Hungary are moved
,np to block the interference of Austria.—
The end of all this will be and empire ef
republics. Turkey will be obliterated from
the map of Europe and from a neet of By
zantine States, into which Greece .and per
haps Hungary my fall. The last great
European war commenced with republican
ism and ended with confirmed monarchy;
this present struggle commences with a bat
tle of the monarches, and will end with con
firmed republics.
Atlanta, August 20th, 1855.
j Gentlemen: Your favor of the 18th inst.
has been received, by which I am informed,
that at a Democratic Anti-Know-Nothing
convention, which met in thin city on the
16th inst., I was unanimously nominated as
a candidate to represent the county of Ful
ton in the Senatorial branch of our next
Legislature, and request my acceptance of
the same. j
This mark of confidence and esteem on j
the part of my fellow-citizens was to me |
wholly unexpected, especially when it will '
be remembered that it hu« been bestowed j
without the slightest effort on my part, and
tnerefore brings me under renewed obliga- j
tions to them.
I accept the nomination thus tendered, j
and if elected, will, to the utmost of my 1
feeble ability, endeavor to promote the best i
interests of our common country.
My opinions upon the great questions j
which are being agitated, and which agita
tion is shaking this mighty Republic from
centre to circumference, are so well known
to the people of Fulton county, that I deem
it unnecessary at thiB time to say anything
with regard to them.
I hope to be able between this and the 1st j
Monday in October next, to speak with them |
on those important questions which are so
intimately connected with our future pros- j
perity and happiness.
Allow me, Gents., to tender to you, and j
through you to the Convention that did me j
the honor of placing me before the people |
of Fnlton county, for re-election to the Sen • j
ate, the acknowledgements of a grateful i
heart, for this renewed manifestation of their
esteem and confidence.

“That Wild Hut after Office.’ 7
KBCORDED BY JONATHAN SMITH.
Hark, ’flu the bugle’s clarion call!
Hark. on the "ffiec hunters fall
It- viH'r- lingering in mid air,
Prom Walker down to swampy Ware :
Mount Yonah trembles in the bln..:,
While on the ocean many a mast
Its pennon’s flutter in the gale,
And swells to bursting every sail.
It is St. Francis winds his horn,
And huutsmen brave salute the morn;
They’re on a hunt that’s wild to-day—
As snorting chargers dash away,
Their riders raise a deafening cry,
That wildly rings through earth and sky,
For on that hunt that’s wild they go—
While Cone and Miller wildly blow,
Bob Trippe, Ben Hill are following fast,
To frenzy wrought by maddening blast.
Still on they speed—so well is blown
Tho rousing blastby Father Cone,
E'en Tumliu wakos and joins tho cry,
As Andrews hurries yelling by.
And Fouche* is with tho frenzied throng
That o’er the mountain sweeps along.
“ Hurrah, my boys,” St. Francis cries ;
“ Speed on till every charger dies !
The glorious game of place is ours—
You’ll gain it—swear it by the Powers!
Strike deep your rowels, mend your pace,
It is a wild, exciting chase 1”
They gain in numbers as they go,
Tilf joins them weighty Varnadoe;
Josh Hill as well as Ben puts in.
To follow Miller who has been
With every party ever known.
E’en down to that acconchod by Cone,
And who ha*> ground for every clique
That could the name of “ office ” speak,
While parson Foster, parson Knowles
Go with the crowd to mend their souls.
Ah 1 well ’twcnld fail me to relate
The third rate lawyers in the State,
And other small-great men who go
Where Cone and Miller loudly blow.
All office-seekers join the chase,
And ’tis a wild and frenzied race;
Away they go with thundering speed,
St. Francis blowing in the lead:
O'er hill, and dell, and stream they fly,
As if the devil followed nigh:
No rest for them by night or day,
Away they rush, away, away!
'Twas June when first 6t. Francis blew
The blast that waked the hunting crew;
Through Summer’s heat they wildly sped
By hope of gaining office led.
For four long months they wildly rushed—
But 'tie October and are hushed
The clarion bugle and the cry
Which lately rent the very sky.
One stream has balked them in their course,
For now the hunters, hallowing hoarse,
Stem for a time Salt River’s wave,
And then they find a watery grave.
A tablet stands beside that stream,
And where its sparkling waters gleam,
You there the mournful tale may read
Of sturdy rider and his steed:
“Here lie St. Francis and his men,
Who wildly rushed from mount to glen
On steeds as bravo as e’er were strode.
Or were by mail-ed heroes rode:
Oh! that wild hunt these horsemen made—
But hero their bleaching bones are laid.”

*Mr. Phooshay muBt excuse Mr. Swift for pro
nouncing his name Fouch, as it is only a poetical

Atlanta and. LaGrang Rail Road.
It will be eeen from the Report of tho
Treasurer of this Company, that the Road
and Outfit, including Real Estate and por
tion of common Paesenger Depot at Atlanta,
have cost, up to the 30th of June, 1855, §1,-
092,222 90. The means have beeu derived
from
Our Candidates.
We have seen, wo think, nr-ny signs of
uneasiness on the part of < u. opponents,
since ihe publication of the ici .ers of accep-'
canoe of our candidates for the Legislature.
We should bo surprised if i iis was other
wise ; for with such men e. John Collier
and Alison Nelson ;l> nr mdard-bearers,
. there can be nodoubt of the triumph of the
1 Anti-Know-Nothing party in this county at
the coming election. Our candidate for the
j senate holds claims upon the people of Ful
ton which can never be disregarded. Inter-
i est alike with gratitude demands that he
I should be returned to the place which he so
! ably filled in the last Legislature of Geor-
I gia. It is to his services that we aro indebt-
I ed for the creation of the very county which
I he now proposes to represent in the senate.
[ But much more, especially, was it he who
j defeated the bill for the removal of the Cap-
j ital to Macon. It was a matter at that
• time confessed by all persons, that but for
; the masterly management of Col. Collier,
i the seat of government would have been re-
i moved from Miliedgeville, and Atlanta
I would have lost all chances of securing it
for herself. In every instance, when tho
interests of his constituents was involved,
our senator was found prompt and able to
; secure them. Such is the man that the
: Democracy of Fulton again present to the
people fur re-election : a man tried and ap-
| proved.
Not a less effective man have we secured
for our candidate for the other branch
of the Legislature. Captain Nelson is one
of whom not the party only, but the coun
try is proud. We would not deal in pan-
ygeric: we think we speak but what all con
fess when we say, that a bolder or a truer
man than Alison Nelson is not among us.—
He stands forth wherever he is known a
model of high-toned honor, incorruptible in
tegrity, and indomitable energy.
The county has great interests to be rep
resented in tho next Legislature. Where is
the man into whose hands we could more
confidently trust them than the candidate
of the Democratic party. Known and re
spected over the entire State, the services of
such a man cannot be too highly valued.—
With a will to do and an energy equal to its
execution, we may be assured that with
Captain Nelson as our representative, no
interests of his constituents will be unatten
ded.
It would have been impossible for the
party to havo selected candidates more wor
thy the confidence of the people, than those
whose names head our columns.

The Next President.
The Boston Telegraph—the especial organ
of anti-slavery in Massachusetts—writes an j
article to show that tho next President must j
be a slaveholder or « supporter of slavery, j
in case the election shall go to the House of
Representatives, as is generally anticipated.
The following is the language of the Consti
tution, as providing for such an emer
gency:
“The House of Representatives shall
choose immediately, by ballot, the Presi
dent ; but in choosing the President, the
votes shall be taken by Stales, the representa
tion from each State having one vote; a quo
rum for this purpose shall consist of a mem
ber or members from two-thirds of the
States, and a majority of all the States shall
be necessary to a choice.
There are, says the Telegraph, thirty-one
States, sixteen being a majority. There are
fifteen slave States, not one of which would
vote for an anti-Nebraska man. In addi
tion to these fifteen slave States. California
has chosen two slavery Democrats, who, in
all probability, would vote with them. The
State of Iowa has a divided delegation, one
anti-Nebraska man and one Nebraska Dem
ocrat. Her rote will thus probably bo lost.
The other States, fourteen in number,
would vote for an anti-Nebraska man. So,
if the issue should be Nebraska and anti-
Nebraska, tha vote would stand thus:

Know-Xotklmgiam in Texas.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Del
ta, in a letter dated Lagrange, Texas, 4th
inst., says:
“ Know-Nothingism is on its lasit legs in
Texas. The quasi removal of secresv has
bereft it of the charm of mystery, without
altering its proscriptive designs. The gar
ment has been raised till the cloven foot ap
pears distinctly; and scores on scores of
Democrats, duped by their curiosity into a
connection with the Latter-day Jacobins,
are fleeing like Joseph from Potiphar’s
house, and “ getting them out.” In Hous
ton, a whole Council, numbering one hun
dred, dissolved, and burned their records.
One hundred members have withdrawn
from the Council at Washington ; ten mem
bers withdrew from the Georgetown Lodge;
and oighteen in the Belton Lodge, out of
twenty-one in all, “ vamoosed the ranche.”
The Lodge in Lockhart, Caldwell county,
numbering 110 members, has all “gone in”
—not a member left; ditto at Hallettsville,
Goliad, Victoria and De Witt.”
The election of Humphrey Marshall
to Congress has cost the city of Louisville

tioei, t^e slaveholders will agpun triumph.
Underwood read tho Know-Nothings off
the Nebraska platform, and more clear
ly exposed what all but themselves had
seen before, the Federalism of their doctrines.
One hard question the speaker put, which,
wo suppose, will remain for some time un
answered: Why didnot Judge Andrews,and
his former Union and now Know-Nothing
friends, who now so strenuously object to
foreigners being allowed to vote in Kansas,
make the same objection to tho same prin
ciple as applied to the Territorial bills of
Utah and New Mexico?
But it was especially upon Dr. Miller
that Mr. Underwood was great. The spea
ker evidently understood the subject, and
treated it to the satisfaction of everybody.
We have no doubt that the Doctor himself
would have been quiescent had he been pre
sent.
We neglected to note all the different
changes Dr. Miller had assumed in the last
few years, and find our memory now quite
inadequate to the task of collecting them.
Wo will never hear the Rev. Doctor again,
without thinking how zealous au opponent
of Know Nothiugism he might have beeu
had he only been nominated to Congress in
place of Lumpkin. The speaker kindly
conceded to his friend Dr. Miller great abil
ity as a huntsman after office.
After Mr. Underwood had kept the audi
ence for near two hours, he was followed by
the Hon. John E. Ward, who is doubtless
the most finished orator who has been
among us this campaign. Iiis speecli con
sisted mainly of a most masterly vindication
of the Catholics against the charges which
have been brought against them, reading
for this purpose undisputable authority
proving their loyalty to whatever State they
have been citizens. We have not time, nor
do we deem it necessory. to make a further
review of these speeches. It must remain
a loss to those who failed to hear them.
Counterfeit.
Wo have been shown, by Mr. James Mc-
! Pherson of this place, an admirably execu
ted Ten Dollar bill, counterfeit, on the Bank
of Georgetown. It differs from the genuine
only in execution, and is calculated to de
ceive any but the most observant. The
signatures of the Cashier and President, D.
L. McKay and J. W. Coachman, are so per
fectly imitated as to defy detection. The
counterfeit bears date 1st July, 1846, and is
somewhat shorter than the genuine. The
shading of the X in the middle of the bill,
is defective, where it is crossed by the words
Georgetown, South Carolina, Ten. The fe
male head on the lower right hand corner,
is however, the best detective, being but a
poor imitation of the genuine, and, in want
of finish, showing unmistakable signs of
counterfeit. It is the opinion of Mr. Valen
tine, Cashier of the Atlanta Bank, that we
have among us some persons engaged in
passing off these counterfeits, as he has re
peatedly of late, rejected bills of this de
scription.
Squatter Sovereign.
The Squatter Sovereign has come out in
opposition to the Know Nothings. As it is
well known that the object of Stringfellow’s
existence is to make Kansas a Slave State,
what does he mean by giving aid and com
fort to the “Foreigners,” if they are, as the
Know-Nothing presses here alledge, Free- 1
Soilers.

PaMle
Oue of the largest and most respectable
meetings ever held in Charleston, took place
on the evening of the 15th. .inst. It was
composed ofihose who^prero opposed to the
new organization.of Kno'w Nothings. Hon.
W. D. Porter was called to the Chair, and a
number of Vice Presidents were appointed.
We have not room for the whole proceed
ings, which are interesting, and must eon-
tent ourselves for the present, by publishing
the resolutions,-which were adopted, with
but one dissenting voice:
1. Resolved, That as citizens of the State
of South Carolina, we recognize the Ordi
nance adopted by the people of the State,
assembled in Convention in 1852, as a part
of the fundamental law of the body politic,
equal in authority as a Declaration of
lught, with the Constitution itself, and we
proclaim as a cardinal principle of the pre
sent organization,
“That South Carolina, in the exercise of
her Sovereign Will as an independent
State, acceded to the Federal Union, known
as the United States of America ; and that,
in the exercise of the same Sovereign Will,
it is her right, without let, hindrance, or
molestation, from any power whatsoever, to
secede from the said Federal Union, and
that, for the sufficiency of the causes which
may impel her to a separation, she is re
sponsible alone, under God, to the tribunal
of public opinion among the Nations of the
earth.”
Wo consider the proceedings of said con
vention as having authoritatively defended
the position of South Carolina and her re
lation to the Federal Union. And in the
opinion of this meeting, the obligation of
the Third Degree, as set forth in the Con
stitution of the National Council of the U. S.
of North America, known as the Order of
Know Nothings, is a direct denunciation of
the principles of this Ordinance, and the
position assumed in these procedings, and
the triumph of the order in this State, would
effect revolution within her limits.
2. Resolved, that we protest against the
proposition put forth by the Grand Council
of the Order, in Philadelphia, that “the
maintenance of the Union of these States is
the paramount political good”—a doctrine
which assumes that Government is above
the object for which it was instituted—
strikes at the very foundation of the Sov-
ereigenty of the States, and under every
violation of the Constitution, however fla
grant, and under every degree of oppression
and injury, however destructive, demands
of the States eternal and unresisting sub
jection to the eternal power; and we disap
prove, as heretical in principle and eminent
ly dangerous to the South, the idolatrous
devotion to the Union of these States, so
prominently and constantly inculcated by
the Constitution and Ritual of Order, when
contrasted with their silence as to the ne
cessity of preserving unimpaired the rights
of the States respectively.
3. Resolved, That we hail, with unfeign
ed satisfaction, the recognition of the Dem
ocratic parties of Georgia and Louisana, of
the resolutions adopted by the people of
Georgia, assembled in Convention in 1851;
and, as we believe, South Carolina too, “will
and ought to resist, even (as a last resort)
to a disruption of every tie which binds her
to the Union, any action of Congress upon
the subject of slavery in the district of Co
lumbia, or in places subject to the jurisdic
tion of Congress, incompatible with the safe
ty, domestic tranquility, the rights and hon
or of the slaveholding States, or any act
suppressing the slave trade between the
slaveholding States, or any refusual to ad
mit, as a State, any territory hereafter ap
plying, because of the existence of slavery
therein ; or any act prohibiting the intro
duction of slaves into the Territories of Utah
and New Mexico ; or any act repealiing or
materially modifying the laws in force for
the recovery of fugitive slaves.”
4. Resolved, That we sympathise with the
friends of the slavery cause in Kansas, in
their manly efforts to maintain their rights
and the rights and interests of the Southern
people, and that we rejoice at their recent
victories over the paid adventures and fan
atical hordes of Northern Abolitionism.—
That the deep interest felt and taken by the
people of Missouri, in the settlement of
Kansas, aud the decision of the slavery
question in it, is both natural and proper;
and that it is their right and duty to extend
to their Southern brethren in tho Territory
every legitimate and honorable sympathy
and support.
5. Resolved, That in the opinion of this
meeting, the existence and progress of the
organization known as the Order of Know-
Nothings, is opposed theoretically and.prac-
tically to the principles which have hitherto
characterized South Carolina as a state, and
the Southern Rights party every where, and
render a rally and reorganization of that
party in South Carolina a matter of imper
ative duty with those who remain steadfast
in the faith.
7. Resolved, That this meeting disap
proves utterly and entirely of the introduc
tion of religious tests into the politics of the
country, and believes such a connection op
posed to the Constitution of the United
States, and anti-American in spirit and
policy.
8. Resolved, That while wo regard the
facility with which foreigners of all kinds
are admitted to the rights of citizenship,
and the abuses practiced under the existing
naturalization laws, as proper subjects of
legislative reform, we unhesitatingly and
uncompromisingly reject as a remedy, the
formation of secret affiliated political asso
ciation, possessed of powers so novel and
despotic as those of the Order of Know
Nothings; and we utterly repudiate the in
discriminate condemnation and unqualified
exclusion from the privileges of citizenship
of all foreigners, whatsoever, which is the
practical result of the triumph of the Order
as illiberal, unwise, and peculiarly anti-
American.
9. Resolved, That in addition to these
stringent objections, we are opposed to the
Know Nothing Order:—
Because by its secrecy and mystery, its
oaths and ritual, it is calculated to promote
insincerity and duplicity, and to.,Stifle the
bold, open, manly condn
which characterise
the freeman
Because i

as citizens of these slaveholding States; we
must meet, and to resist which successfully,
there should exist unbroken unauififty, that
we should, with the utmost earnestness, ap

Order to come oat from, awPstrip it of its
power to do evil, and to all, of whatsoever
political designation they may have been,
to unite in opposition to an organization

The Louisville Tragedy—The Press on
Prentice.
The editor of the Louisville Journal be
gins to feel the awful pangs of blood guilti
ness, and strives in vain to make the inno
cent, partakers in his great sin. He is pre
tending to give to the world the sworn cer
tificates of Irish Catholics going to shew
that the late murders were provoked by the
handful of foreign born citizens in Louis
ville. But the verdict of the Union has
been pronounced against the awful carnage
of American citizens, ancfyipon Know-Noth
ing leaders and Know-Nothing principles
must rest forever the orushing guilt of this
inhuman and Bavage butchery of unoffend
ing citizens. The Louisville Times, some
days after the election, thus writes:
The scenes on Monday were spoiling beyond
anything yet witnessed in this Union. They were
not exceeded by the Jacobins of Franoe under her
most ferocious political tyrants. The city was for
18 hours in the hands of a mob. They pillaged
fruit stalls and assaulted innocent citizens, burnt
houses, robbed breweries, murdered men, women
and children at their pleasure. Nothing was sa
cred from their polluted touch. Desperadoes all,
and led and assisted by leaders who held back out
of tho site of exposure, they defied the sanctities
of the law and the obligations of humanity alike.
Godless wretches as they are, George D. Prentice
is their loader and defender.
Prentice is the leader of these miscreants, and
the worst among them.
The Mobile Register, a paper distinguish
ed for its lofty and truthful character, after
commenting upon the testimony of the
Journal in relation to the causes of the riot,
says:
In contrast with the Democrat, the Journal
teemed from day to day with the most inflamable
appeals to the passions of its party. The editor
of that paper, who, notwithstanding his admittted
talents, is known to be one of the most unscrupu
lous partisans and greatest blackguards and cow
ards in the whole country, appears to have set
himself deliberately to work to produce juBt the
very events that he uow records.
The Journal of Commerce always cool and
circumspect in its judgment, speaks the fol
lowing language:
The New York Journal of Commerce of the
10th inst., says there is littlo room for doubt as to
the probable causes of the late sanguinary riots in
Louisville, when it is considered that several of
tho newspapers in that oity teemed with articles
like the following, published in tho Louisville
Journal on tho day previous to the election,- and
there may have been articles equally virulent on
tho other side of the question:
“People of Kentucky, the argument is closed ;
tho issue is made up; and the case submitted for
your verdict. Vital principles of American na
tionality and existence are at stake. We now
call on you to rally.
“Rally to crush a faction of foreigners, politi
cal Papists aud anti-American native demagogues
—who falsely charge that we are hostile to reli
gious freedom, whilst we, at the very time, uot
only declare its sacred principle in our platform,
but are actually engaged in conflict with its most
formidable and deadly foe. Until the light of
Protestanism shone in the world, there was no re
ligious freedom. Popery, with its iron heel, trod
out the life of religious liberty as fast as it was
born. The RomiBh corporation, under pretense
of being the bride of Christ, has ever been the
prostitue of Satan. Millions have suffered mar
tyrdom bocause they would not surrender their
consciences into the keeping of the prostitute.—
The hierarchy is yet drunk on the blood of saints
—and has the audacity to charge with tyrauny
the native American friends of constitutional
liberty.
“Rally to preserve the homogeneous charaoter
of American institutions from the corrupt influ
ences if a mixed foreign rabble.
“Rally to put dowH an organization of Jesuit
Bishops, Priests, and other Papists, who aim by
secret oathB and horrid peijuries, and-midnight
plottings, to sap the foundations of all our politi
cal edifices—State and national.’*
It is only necessary to add to what the
Journal of Commerce has said, to remark ,
that no articles equally as virulent were ev
er published by the other side. On the con
trary, the unchallenged reoord is, that all
the city presses on the “other side” labored
earnestly and constantly before the election
to shield the city and the Amerioan charac
ter from the impending infamy. The ver
dict is made up, and with its blood-stained
history Know Nothingism is consigned;
the spirit of our blessed Constitution to thq xiocoqiw
execration of the American paopl«PyIqp jjvflbchete;
propagandists and interested supporters feet
that the Louisville carnage signed its death
warrant. Hence their trembling anxiety
to slur over the horrid recital, or find seme
scape-goat for the enormous crime of this
wholesale butchery. But it will not all do.
Know Nothingism cannot live, for it is
built upon unmixed and unmitigated wrong.
It has no kindness, no trust, no charity for
mankind. It appeals not to a love for our
own freedom and equality, but rather to a
truculent, unchristian passion that tyrany
has for robbing other men of their rights.—
It seeks not to cheer and hold up the weak
and lowly and unhappy, but rather with a
savage disregard of our brother man, it
starts a crusade under a once-honored flag
against men whose only crime seems to be
that they are unhappy, and have appeal
to us for shelter. View it in any light, am
it must meet the unsparing censure of
iaceful and loyal citizen. Its pretei
prevention rather than cure..ialtl
d aim of Know Nothingism, is nothing
nor nothing in its favor. Perawution
oppression are hoary with age, but
ly are not a whit older than this venero-
lie, behind which all the persecutions
at ever vexed and oursed mankind has ta
ken refuge. The just man who waits to
punish, waits just as he will do when he
approves, until he has “proved all things.”
The spirit of Democracy, of freedom, the
spirit of the American Constitution neither
rewards nor proscribe- men in classes. Our
chief and former glory as a people has been
that the benignant spirit of our 4 republican
ism, like that of Christianity, stqops to.
tUt evil, if ever an evil had, been correcting
ittelf for the last four years by growng con
stantly lees and less every year. Don’t now
begin to talk about paupers, sinoe the Irish
famine is over, when, besides millions sent
them in bread and money, we sent tens of
millions of sympathetic invitations to come
over to this land of plenty and freedom.—
Unhappily for the “ Order,” they began
their gambling game too late, not until they
were stript bare of their last copper’s capi
tal. So far from foreign immigrants being
a charge to this country, it is as well ascer
tained as any custom house data can be,
that if the rate of increase shall be no great
er for the next six months than it has been
for the last six, the K. N. “ paupers and
felons ” will have brought into - the country
more than §12,000,000 of hard cash. Yes,
after all the Zolliooffering of our day and
generation, it is the fact that the Germans
bring here with them §100 a head, the Irish
about $38, and all other immigrants about
$60. This average is not for men alone, or
women and men, but for every head that
lands upon our shores, including the babies
that K. N’s. in Louisville sometimes set
upon and slay. But what’s the use in an
argument with a Know-Nothing? If he
can outvote you he stuns you with his wild
shouts—if you outvote him he gets up a
riot and kills you if you don’t stand square
up to him. If you believe a figure he puts
upon paper, he will prove that there are
many times more foreigners here than na
tives before be is done, and if you take him
up on promises and snatch his conclusions
from him, why he gets the victory by shout
ing louder than the Alpine thunders, that
“Americans shall rule Ameriky.” So
what’s the use in talking? Bather com
mend us to tho ballot box, the only sort
of a box that seems to have a pious and
subduing effect on that rollicking, young,
good-for-nothing yclept, Sam.
To Correspondents.
The article of our friend from Farie
Knowe was received too late for insertion in
this weeks paper, but it shall certainly ap
pear in our next issue. It treats of a great
question, the very greatest in our view ;
next to the burial of Sam. To relieve the
olfactories of gentle folks from the obtru-.
eions of the said late individual is the work
now that demand the united and the best
efforts of thepublic spirited and patriotic.—
Will not our friend go to work in one more
number and elaborate a little more fully the
duty of the Stato in perfecting the groat
works of internal improvement in Georgia,
that cannot be without State aid. We are
fully agreed with our corrsepondents posi
tion and have been since we served together
in 1849. Wo only stop however when the
fund of 6,000,000 » devided between the
counties for tho establishment of poor
schools upon the military basis.
Tlte Discipline.
The Discipline commenting upon a letter
from an Irish Editor in New York, publish
ed in this paper a few days since, wishes us
to publish “that part which says the Ger
mans aro all Abolitionists.” We assure the
editor of the Discipline that there is no such
part to publish. He is entirely mistaken as
to the facts set forth in the letter. We saw
fit not to publish the entire communication,
from the fact that portions of it did not bear
on the question treated of, the Irish i
North.

■—The City Councils of LouiB
1 a committee to inquire into
necessities of the families made
iy the outbreak, and rejected a resolu-
to pay for the property destroyed. The own
ers of tho houses burnt mast, therefore, lose them,
unless they can recover damages by suits at law.
This action of Councils appears to have been the
cause of the resignation of several of the mem
bers of the Councils. It is not probable, howeV'
er, (the Baltimore American says,) “that the ac
tion of tho Councils in regard to compensation
for property destroyed will fie acquiesced in, as
the principle has been abundantly established that
a city is responsible for damages committed by
mob which the authorities failed to restrain.”
The Sooth of Ou>Ett*rixh.—In Mr. Benton’s
forthcoming volume of his thiry years in the Se
nate, occurs tho following passage, in allusion to
the decline of the commerce of the Southern
States:
“ It is a traditoh of the colonios that the South
had been the seat of wealth and happiness, of power
and opulence; that a rich population covered tho
land dispensing hospitality, and diffusing the
felicity Which themselves enjoyed; that all was life,
and joy and affluence then. And this tradition
was not without similitude to the rality, as this
writer can testify; for he was old enough to have
seen (after the Revolution) the still surviving state
of southern colonial manners, when no traveller
was allowed to gn to a tavern, and was handed over
from family to family through ontire States—When
hoidays were days of festivity and expectation,
long prepared for, and celebrated by master and
slave with music and feaati' i», and great oonoourse
'-of. friends and relatival; when gold was kept in
deske’s or chests, (after the downfall of paper)
anctarcighed in scales, and lent to neighbors for
Short terms without note, interest, witness or se
curity—and on bond and land security for long
years and lawful usance: and when petty litigation
was at so low an ebb that it required a fine offorty
pounds of tobacco to mako a man serve as con
stable.”
The k. n. state council for Connecticut havo
teen in session at Hartford, with only about half
the delegation iu attendance, and it is under
stood they deoided to abolish the secrecy of tho
order, and took steps toward a fusion with tho
anti-slavery elements.

Wyandott tribe of Indians—a man of education
and of wealth, and who glories in his Indian blood
is spoken of as a candidate for Congress in Kansas.

jorities for remaining counties reduce toe majority

Thk War in Europe.—“Ion,” the intel
ligent correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writes from Washington:
During the present suspense of active
operations in the Crimea, we may calmly
contemplate the aspects and the resalts^of
this great war—a war that took the world
by surprise—a war which no statesman can
account for or justify. As to the results of
this war, I wish to cite the opinion of an
eminent German physician, who is in the
Russian servioe, and has lately published m
Berlin many curious and instructive obeer-
rations on the subject. I give nothing mue
than his conclusion, to wit—that when Se
bastopol Bhall be taken, the Allies will not
