The only off. n*c of the. Southern Know Nothings lias been their preference for American rule and their diwegnrd’ of party dictation. Professing to be free and ca-. {table es judging for themselves, they have assent ; and |p ineoMrwertibh- ptoposiiiuns set forth in the platform of tli* American party, and have appror-, ed the policy of reform there inculcated. This, they Imd right to cto, and for the exercise of thia : right they have l-een reviled and permeated.— j Viewing tlie course es tlo-ir opponents x- but the argument of petty tyranny, or a punny attempt at cocrckm, Know Nothings themselves have been oonfirmed in their previous opinions, while others, anxious to know what were the odious features gs a doctrine subscribed hy their best and uicst intel ligent neighbors, have investigated and given in their adhesion to it. Again, when reminded that a prominent objec tion to know Nothirgs'was. that the order num- j liered not them freesoilera in its ranks, the honest mind at once interrogated, whether a good thing must be rejeet*-*! because -nmc evil was mixed with it. nnd if yes. why Imd Southern Whiggery ever united with Northern Whiggery, and why w;i Southern Pemocraey even now eoncerting with Northern fret soil Detnocruts? The object ors evidently overreached thru selves by urging that as wrong which, under the sanction of a mere party nomenclature, they wa re endorsing as right. If freesoilers by their membership of the order ren der Know Nothingism obnoxious to Southern in terests, so must be Democracy and Whiggery, for almost the entire Northern p irtioti of the two fat-j ter parties arc freesoilers. The artifice waa to” ‘shaThiw lo deeeTvi” irhJTms cunseijuehlly only’ served to engender contempt for those who resort- j ed to it, and to spur on investigation of the true’ principle* of the American party. Beginning at the foil min tion.of this great national platform, and planting ourselves upon the bread principle of tlie right of Americans to govern America, is it aston-; ishing the patriot min i shout I .amity the vast i field of political corruption and trace not only tlie errors of the past, but mark the measure and the means of their purgation ? Men are becoming j every day less the tools of party—less obedient to; the dicta of a venal press. The time has gone by j when a -lie well stuck to” will answer any party ! purpose as well as the truth. The mere say-so of new paper editors is not sufficient now (and we trust never will he again) to determine incn'sjudg meuts upon ijuestiona.of importance tu their own j and their country's interests. Whatever is good j in any policy an intelligent*ptlhlic will accept, and what is evil, we believe, will be rejected.

In Cw county, of this State, the Democracy in convention aeeemblcd passed the following resolu tion: “IfMoftei/, That the Democratic party lias never Ixniu-trd or feared to nsako aa open and candid dcoluration of its creed ami principles; that we regnrd all secret political clulm ns at war with the genius nnd spirit of our Republican Institutions : that the Secret oath laiund political club, common ly cal ed “Know Nothings.’ in itl attempts to abridge tho rights of conscience and creute religi ous tests in the selection of meu for office is vio lative of the Constitution and dangerous to thepub lie liberty, that it is but a weak invention of the enemies of the Democratic party : nnd that we will tight this secret enemy with the same energy and ardor, which in times past has enabled ns to defeat and drive from the field open and undis guised foes.” On the Bth of .lanoary last, the State Democrat ic convention of Ohio,did the other side of Democ i racy, thus wise : “Rtsnlceil, That tho people of Ohio, sow as j Ttir.v have always done, look upon slavery AS ‘AN EVIL, and unfavorable to the development ■ t-f +Us spivituud practical Uuvlit .us Jr.ce jjistitu - tioiis, and that entertaining these sentiments, j they will at all times feel it to be their duty, to ’ use nil power clearly given by the terms of the | national Compact to i-revent its increase, to mit* | igate, and finally to ki aDITA ! r. its evii.s.” This latter convention, like the one of Cassville. - denounced the Know Nothin.s.

I must also speak es its defioieneies, which, however, is but.onefas I can see, nnd that is the scarcity of timber for building and fencing. Still, this necessity can be obviated by planting hedges of Bois d’aio (Osage Orange) (which ean be easily done, as it is a natural growth,) and building with the beautiful white rock, with which the counties of Hill and Ellis are so bountifully supplied; and in fact this rock extends in n strip of country from 20 to 25 miles wide, from San An tonia to Trinity River, ranging N. East and Sou. West. . When first ijuarried it is so soft that it may be cut with a saw or dressed with a plane, as ea sily as pine lumber, but by exposure to theair for a abort time, becomes exceedingly hard. It is of this rock that the Capitol, Rt Austin, is construct ed. There is at present but few who build ’ol” it. owing to the scarcity of stone masons or at least, to the scarcity of those who possesses mechanical genius enough to construct a house.
