\Ye publibh to day full aeounts of the late election
riots at Louisville, Ky. They are ts the most appall
ng character. We will not trust ourselves to comment
it length upon them. The Democratic party being largely
n the minority, strove, the day before the election, to
prevail upon the Executive authorities of the Know
Nothing Councils to join with them in the “adoption
f measures to protect the right of suHrage from ap
orehendrd interruption by the mob spirit which had
prevailed for months past” in that devoted city. The
Know Nothings declined to hold any conference on the
subject. They chose to rely upon “an extra police
oree.*’ Tins proposition, the reasons given for making
uni declining it, and the anticipated results are detail
’d iu the following article ;
From the Louisville Democrat, August 4th.
Tlio Louisville Riot.
Our readers will remember tiiat a committee of two
from each Ward in this city was appointed a few days
since, by the Democracy, to confer with the execu
tive authorities ol the Know Nothing Councils in refer
ence to the adoption of measures to protect the light of
suffiagi from apprehended inteiruption by the mob spirit
which has prevailed for months past. It was believed
that the appointment of a suitable number of citizens
from each party, whose social position would command
universal respect aud confidence, would exercise a moral
mtiueuce on persons disposed to be disorderly, more po
tent, than any other means that could be adopted, and give
sati.-faction to all. We have understood from gentlemen
from New Orleans, that such a plan was adopted there
with the happiest results in res.raining the riotous and
disorderly portion of their population. It is understood
that the Know Noiiiugs have declined any conference
on the subject. We much regret to hear it, because we
have no doubt that much, if not all, of the violence and
.perhaps bloodshed, with which we are threatened, could
fie prevented by a coneiliato.iy and just arrangement be
tween the* parties.
The reason assigned by the Know Nothings for
rejecting all negotiation on the subject is, th.it the city au
thorities have appointed an extra police loree, which they
deem amply sufficient for the emergency, and more* ef
fectual than individuals selected IYr their weight of char
acter alone, having no official authority. We think oth
erwise. The presence of such citizens at the polls, as
representatives of the mass of the two parties, would in
dicate their desire and determination to cause the laws
to he respected, and vvou.d no doubt accomplish the ob
ject here, as it has done elsewhere.
M-.reowr, it is well known that Lou’sville is under
the olliciai dominion of Know Nothings in all the depart
ments. judicial and executive, and that this power has not
been exercised hitherto in such a manner as to command
the confidence of their opponents. The spring elections
for local officers were attended with exhibitions of vio
lence more atrocious than had ever before been witness
ed iu our city, aud numbers of these Know Nothing po
lice ollieors, whose duty it was to have preserved peace,
were among the most active participants in those scenes
of disorder.
Every body knows that some of the elections were de- j
cided by mob law Little or no attention has been paid J
to outrages of the most digram nature perpetrated at
at that time and since, and these guiliy police officers are
still retained in commission. hat encouragement is
there to expect at the coming election, especially when
we have seen Judge Garland appoint five-sixths of the
judges and other oflieors in charge of the polls from the
Know Nothing ranks, in defiance of the plainest die.
tales of justice and right.
With such arrangements as these showing a deter
mination to take the election under their own exclusive
control, and tin* demonstrations heretofore made of ihe I
utter absence of all sense of duty on the part of the poi
lire officers, we think we have no reason lo expect any- !
thing but a repetition of similar scenes of disaster, riot
and bloodshed, to those which occurred last Spring, only I
much more aggravated by the importance of the pend- !
mg contest, and consequently increased excitement.
We sincerely lament4liis state'ol things, hut if it is so
settled by those who have it. in their power to older it
otherwise, it becomes our friends to do the best they can,
hut by all means to do nothing themselves to provoke just
offence from their opponents.
it Is a great pity, it seerns to us that this proposition
was not accepted. In making it, the Democracy did
all they could to ensure the public peace. Upon the
heads of the Know Nothing Councils then rested the
responsibility of preserving order at the polls. How
well they succeeded the following harrowing narrative
will show :
fFrom the Louisville Courier, [Whig,! Aug. 7.
The Election Riots in Louisville—Murder and Arson
—Twenty Men Killed.
We passed yesterday through the foims of an election.
As provided tor by statute, the polls were opened and
privilege granted lo such as were “right upon the goose,”
wall a few exceptions, to ex re sc tlusr elective franchise.
Never, perhaps, was a greater Luce, or, as we should
tvrm it, tragedy, enacted. Hundred and thousands
were deterred from voting by direct acts of intim dation,
others through fear of eonse jiienees, and a multitude from
the lack of proper facilities. The city, indeed, was, dur
ing the day, in possession of an armed mob, the base pas
sions of which wi re infuriated to the highest pitch by the
incendiary appeals of the newspaper organs and the popu
lar leaders of the Know Nothing party.
On Sunday night large detachments of men were sent
to the First aud .Second Wards to sec that the polls were
properly opened. These men, the American Executive
C imn Gee, \m re supple and with the requisite refreshments,
and, as may In* imagined, they were in h wry lit condi
tion on yesterday morning to see that the rights of free
men were respited, haired, they di.-eharged the impor
tant trusts committed to them in such manner as to com
mend them forever to the admiration of outlaws. T hey
Mji. ned the polls ; they provided ways and means for their
own party to vote; they bluffed aud bullied all who could !
not sluw the sign ; they, in fact, converted the election j
into a perfect laice, without one redeeming or qualifying !
JillMSt*.
\\ < do not know when or how their plan of operations I
was devised. Indeed wc do not cure to know when such |
i svstem of outrage, such perfidy, such dastardy was con
ceived. Wc only blush for Kentucky that her soil was
the. scene of such outrages, and iliac some of her sons
were participants in the netai ious swindle.
It would be impossible to slate when or how this riot
commenced. By daybreak the polls were taken posses*
sion of by the American party, and, in pursuance of their
preconcerted game, they used every stratagem or device
t* hinder the vote of every man who could not manifest
to the “guardians ol the polls” his soundness on the K. N.
ques ion. We were personally witness to the pioceedare
of the party in certain Wards, aud of these we feel au
thorized to speak
In the Seventh Ward we discovered that for three
hours in the outset, in the .morning, it was impossible for
those not “posted’” to vote, without the greatest difficulty,
lu the Sixth Ward a party of bullies were masters of the
polls. Wc saw two foreigners driven from the polls,
forced to run a gauntlet, beat unmercifully, stoned and
tabbed. In eqi ease of one fellow, the Hon. Win. Thom
assoii, formerly a nu mber of Congress from this District,
interfered, and while appealing to the maddened crowd to
cease their acts of disorder and violence, Mr. Thoinasson
was struck Irom behind, and boat. Ilia gray hairs, his
long public service, his manly presence and his thorough
Americanism availed nothing with the crazed mob. Other
and serious fights occurred in the Sixth Ward, of which
we have no lime to make mention now.
The more serious and disgraceful disturbances occurred
in tie* upper Wards. The vote cast was but a partial
one, aud neaily altogether on one side. No show was
</iveti to tlie friends of Preston, who were largely in the
majority, but who, in the face of cannon, muskrts and
revolvers, could not, being an unarmed and quiet populace,
confront the mail mob; so the vote was cast one way, and
the result stands before the public.
lu the morning, as vve state elsewhere, George 1 org, a
carpenter, living on the corner of Ninth and Market sts.,
was killed near Hancock street. A Herman named
Fritz, formerly a partner at the Halt House, was severely,
if not fatally beaten.
In the afternoon a general row occurred on Shelby
street, extending from Main to Broadway. We are un
able to ascertain the facts concerning the disturbance.—
Some fourteen or fifteen men were shot, including < Mil-ei
Williams, Joe Selvage and others. Two or three were
killed, and a number of houses, chiefly German coffee
houses, broken into and pil’aged. About 4 o’clock, when
the vast crowd, augmented by accessions from every part
ol the city, and armed with shot guns, muskets and r ih*s,
were proceeding to attack tlie Catholic Church on Shelby
street, Mayor Barbee arrested them with a speech, ard
the mob returned to the First Ward polls. In an hour
afterward the large brewery on Jefferson street, near the
junction of Green, was set on fire.
In the lower part of the city the disturbances were
characterized by a greater degree of bloody work. L ite
in the afternoon three irishmen going down Main stree;,
near Eleventh, were attacked aud one knocked down.—
Then ensued a terrible scene, the Irish firing from the
windows of their houses on Main street repeated volleys,
Mr. Rhodes, a river man, was shot and killed by one iu
the upper story, and Mr. Giaham met with a similar fate.
An Irishman who fired a pistol at tlie back of a man’s
head, was shot and then hung. He however survived
both punishments. Johu Hudson, a carpenter, was shot
dead during the fracas.
After dusk, a row of frame houses on Main street, be
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, the property of Mr.
Guinn, a well known Irishman, were set on fire. The
il lines extended across the street, and twelve buildings
were destroyed. These houses were chiefly tenanted by
Irish, and when any of the tenants ventured out to escape
from the flames they were immediately shot down. No
idea could he formed of the number killed. We are ad
vised that Jim r men were roasted to death , having been
so badly vvodtided by gun shot wounds that they collld
not escape from the burning buildings.
Os all the enormities and outrages committed by the
American party yesterday and last night, we have not
now time to write. The mob, having satisfied its appetite
for blood, repaired to Third street, and until midnight
made demonstrations against The Times and Democrat
offices. The furious crowd satisfied itself, however, with
breaking a few window panes aud burning the sign of
The Times office.
At 1 o’clock this morning a large fire is raging in the
upper part of the city.
Upon the proceedings of yesterday and last night we
have no time nor heart now to comment. We are sick •
ened with the very thought of the men murdered and
hon es burned and pillaged that signalized the American
victory yesterday. Not less than twenty corpses form the
trophies of this wonderful achievement.
Every good man must deprecate these dreadful riots,
be he Whig or Democrat, Know Nothing or Anti-
Know Nothing. They strike a fatal blow at the public
liberties, for if tho people are not suffered to govern the
country peaceably at the ballot box, they will not make
many sacrifices to preserve tho mere shell of Republican
institutions. It will do no good to fix tho blame of the
Louisville riots upon any particular party. We think,
however, that the account given of the riot by the
Luuisoille Courier (Whigßvill satisfy the public that our
telegraphic advices were all false.Enough,however, upon
this point. Our object in referring to these disgrace
ful scenes is not to gain a party advantage. The pub
lie peace is of greater value than the triumph of any
party. The success of our experiment in self govern
ment is staked on th issue. The right peaceably and
quietly to vote, without fear of violence or hope of re
ward, is the foundation stone of our institutions. The
outrages of the bully, and tho bribery of tho dema
gogue at the polls are alike fatal to the public liberties.
Wo incline to believe that penitentiary punishment
ought to be inflicted upon both offences. In the absence
of such laws, the public condemnation may prove ef
fectual if the good men of nil parties will unite in the
maintenance of tho unobstructed right to vote on the
part of every citizen.
If an outrage is perpetrated, every good citizen ought
to aid the officers of the law iu arresting the offender.
But if instead of this, the mob spirit is appealed to and
the class attacked to whom the offender belongs, riot,
murder aud arson are inevitable. To guard against
these dreadful evils is the object of this article and we
earnestly hope that tfie press of the State will aid us
in this effort, instead of appealing to the passions of
the multitude to arouse them to civil war.
1 ry it on Him.
Tho Knickerbocker tells an excellent story of
Rurchurd, the revivalist ; not of fc him exactly, but
o| what happened at tin* Close of one of his meetings.—
lie was in tlie habit of addressing his congregation in this
manner :
“i am now going to pray, and l want nil that desire to
he prayed h r It; send up their names on a piece of pa-
M*” . - 4-
(>n the occasion to which we refer, there was at once
sent up to the desk quite a pile of little slips of paper, with
the name in whose behalf he was to “wrestle” as he said,
“with tlie Almighty.”
A pause soou ensued, when he said: “Send ‘< rn up!
I can pray for five thousand, just as easy as I cantor a
dozen. Send ’em up. 1 haven’t any paper ; get up and
name the friend you want prayed lor.”
At this stage of proceedings, a man whom we that!
call Ozicl Bigg, a stalwart man of six feet and a half in
his stockings, a notorious unbeliever, and a confirmed
wag to boot, rose in the midst of the congregation, a
mark for all, and amidst the winks aud becks and smiles
of the auditory, said :
“Mr. Burchurd, 1 want you to pray for Jim Thomp
son.”
The Rev. petitioner saw, from the excitement iu the
audience, that Oziel was a ‘hard case.’
“What is your name, sir, and who is Mr. Thomp
son ?”
“Its Jim Thompson ; he keeps a tavern down in
Tbomp-onville, and l keep a public house a little below
him. He is an Infernal scoundrel, and I want jou to
give him a lift.”
“But,” said Mr. Burehard, have you faith in the effi
cacy if prayer? Do you believe iu tho power ot pet.
“That is neither here nr there,” responded O/ieJ, “/

Sprightly Samuel.
For the last few weeks the Know Nothing press of the
State, has outdone anything in the way of hratrging that
we ever saw or heard of. Some f their lofty flights l#ok
rather funny alter the election. For instance, we luul
die following among others of the same sort, in a K. N.
exchange, under the attractive caption of ‘Sprightly
Samuel.’
“Tallapoosa—Letters from three different portions of
this county, agree that tlu* American party is at least lUH)
ahead, and gaining daily.” Unfortunately tor ’Sprightly
•Samuel,’ Tallapposu gave a majority lor Winston ot L’.’hi
and elected the whole anti-ticket.
Coosa— Short, cheering accounts ; the skies are'bright
er every day.” How many days it would have taken
j to hrighteu the Coosa skua enough for‘Samuel,’ we can.
not say, but it is a fixed fact that Ciman gave between
400 and 500 majority lor Winston, and elected the who!*
anti-ticket.
“Cherokee—By letter we learn that Short ridge will
certainly carry Cherokee. At any rate a stand otl may
be counted.” Winston’s majority in Cherookee was on*
lv 1,000. Is this what sprigntly Samuel calls a stand off.
The result would seem to indicate that Samuel’s rpriglit
l.ness is confined to his imagination, —Sjiiril of the
South.
Card of Bishop Spalding—To the Public.
Fellow Citizens: —ln the lxniisville Journal of this
morning I find the following passage : “We arc not now
prepared to say that they (assault committed by foreign
ers) * * *’ were instigated by direct instructions of
men with fiendish hearts who control in a great measure
the passions, and are able to dictate actions to tlie Ger
mans and Irish, w ho made these attacks.”
If—as some have understood it—tliis passage was
meant to refer to ihe Catholic Bishop aud priests of this
city, l beg respectfully, but mostj distinctly and earnestly
to ‘lenyjhe truth of the injurious insinuation conveyed by
its language. I have, myself, been, until the last day or ,
two, confined to my room for two weeks by illness, and
I have the most positive information that none of the Cath
olic clergy of this city have had any agency, direct or
indirect, in bringing about the recent lamentable outra
ges, which no one deplores more than we do. Our voice
has been uniformly for peace. Wc have not even
in any way interfered in the late election, being over
whelmed with laborious duties iu a different sphere alto
gether. 1 venture also to appeal to the senses of justice
and fairness manifested for] *<>{many years by tlie editor
of the Journal, and to ask him to correct this impresuoii
so injurious to us, if such was (he meaning of the pas
sage—which 1 would be loath to believe.
To all whom the influence of my voice can in any
wav reach, 1 hog to say that I entreat them, in the name
of Jesus Christ, the God of Peace, to abstain from all Vio
lence, to remain quietly at home or attending to their bu
siness, to keep away from all excited assemblies and if
they think they have hern injtirfd to return good for
evj, and to pray for them who have wronged them. 1
appeal to them and to tlie world whether this has not al
ways the tenor of my instructions to them, both public
and private, and also that of all the Catholic, clergy.
1 have too high an opinion of my fellow citizens of every
chiss to believe for a moment that the threats which have
beenmade by someNviJ bo carried out. lent real alltojmu.se
and reflect, to commit uo violence which they would re
gret in their cooler moments, and to believe no idle tu
mors, and to cultivate that peace and love which ate the
characteristics of the religion of Christ. “We are to re

essary ills of life those more awful ones of civil feuds

The great Know Nothing argument against the policy
of our government in allow ing foreigners to come to this
country aud vote is, that other nations send their paupers
and criminals over here, who soon become as much en
titled to all tho immunities ol citizenship as “those who
are UMhc manner Lorn.” As an answer to that argument,
we copy from Prince’s Digest, page i’OU, the lollowing
ad of ibe Georgia Legislature, which is sufficient securi
ty against the introduction of criminals, and which, if pro
perly enforced, is as good as any law that can be passed :

Telegraphic Extension.
Tlie Boston and Cape Cod Telegraph Company have
determined to extend their wires, by a strong submarine
cable, of the same size as that now being laid dowm be
tween Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, to Holmes’ Hole
( Martha’s Vineyard,) Edgarton and Nantucket; and we
learn that contracts were nude on Friday last binding
the Company to have tlie line completed on the Ist of
November. This enterprise will prove of great value to
the shipping interests of Boston, and the points that are
thus to be connected.
Fanaticism of Lord Brougham.
Lord Brougham has memorialized the British House of
Lords, for the removal of the Lord High Commissioner,
on the ground that he owns an extensive plantation aud
slaves in Dutch Guiaua. He has also spoken on the
treatment of free negroes, British subjects, by the State
of South Carolina. Lord Clarendon’s reply, however,
held out no promise of improvements iu this regard.—
He very considerately thought the affair too delicate to be
meddled with by the English government.
A Change. — ILe passed through Macon last week.—
We hardly knew him—he was so changed for the worse.
We thought of him as we saw Him hist! His new beaver,
cocked smartly on one side of h is head—his glossy coat—
Ins rainbow vest —his knowing look—his jublihint voico-#*
his peacock strut. Alas ! they were all vanished ! His
hat was knocked in—his t oat was torn—his look despon
dent—his whole aspect rueful in the extreme. He wan
hard times personified. He was tit lor nothing except
to “point a moral or adorn a tale.”

.1 Text for the Chaplain of the A now Nothings. —
“If a stranger sojourn with thee, in your laud, ye .shall
not vex him.
“But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto
you as om* burn among you, and thou shall love him as
thyseli; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. I
am the Lord your God.” —Leviticus xix, 33, 44,
Wild Hunt after Office.. — It is said that Dr. V. M.
Miller, the loudest gun of Know Nothingism in Chero
kee, profess* and to lit- a democrat down to a late period—
that he was a candidate for nomination before the Con
vention of the fifth district that nominated Judge Lump
kin for Congress ; and that, disgusted with his failure “in
the wild hunt after office,” he joined the Know Nothings
the day ofler his defeat, and lias since that time been one
of the warmest and loudest denouncers of the ungrateful
democracy.— tSav. Geo, 12.
Know Nothingism at the North. —We learn Irom
the New York Herald of tlie 9ih inst., that at a mass
meeting of tlie so-called American patty, which was held
at Pittsburg on the 4th inst., resolutions denunciatory of
Southern slavery, the Fugitive Slave Law, the Nebraska
Act, and the platform of the Council at Philadelphia in
relation to slavery, were passed. One of tlie resolutions
assert that Congress has the constitutional rigllt to refuse
tlie adm ssion of any new State which tolerates slavery.

The Old Line Whigs of Maryland. —The subjoin
ed letter from L* onardtown, St. Mary’s county, Mary
land, appeals in the Baltimore Sun of yesterday. The
old line wliigs of Maryland are nobly emulating the ex
ample set by their brethren throughout the entire South :
“The whig convention of this County assembled iu
in this town on yesterday, and nominated Edmund J.
PSovvden and R chard 11. Reeder, esq*., for the house of
delegates. Mr. Plowden was a member of the house of
delegates in 1849, and is one of the most extensive plan
ters in this section. Mr. Rexder is at present a judge
of the orphans’ court. Both gentlemen are men of abil
ity and deservedly popular. Tho convention that nomir
nated them re-alfirmed the strong anti Know Nothing
resolutions heretofore passed by the wliigs of this county,
and both Messrs. Plowden and Reeder, in their speeches
before the convention accepting their nominations, pledg
ed themselves, if elected, to co-operate in good faith with
the Democratic or any other party iu the Legislature, if
they found no whig party there, in opposition to K. Noth
ingism, and in that contingency, if necessary to defeat
the Know Nothings, to vote for a Democratic United
States Senator, r any other officer for whom their votes
might be required in their legislative capacity.”
Governor Reeder. —As many of the Northern papers
are teeming with a story in their Washington correspon
dence, alleging that tlie President offered to Governor
Reeder, as inducement for that gentleman to resign, first,
the mission to China, and then that to the Court of St.
James, soon to l*c made vacant by the resignation of Mr.
Buchanan, we have to say that we are satisfied that the
story, in each and every one of its particulars and varia
tions, is false—false from beginning to end. No such of
fer or offers were made to him, the public may r**fy on it.
The story is merely made up by some enemy ol the Presi
dent, who lacks truth on which to hang a lair plea of
wrong doing on his (the President’s) part, os the basis of
invidious comments on his administration.
When, ;is alleged, Governor Reeder was offered the
Cliine.se mission, that was not vacant; nor had Mr. Mo*
made up his mind to resign.— Washington Star
The Sixth District moving—Speeches of Gov. Johnson
and Got. Cobb —Last Friday, 10th, as we learn from tlie
Athens Banner, was a glorious day in the Sixth District for
those who are attached to the principles of freedom of
speech, Ireedojn of conscience and freedom oftlie ballot
box. At a free barbecue given in Jackson county on that
day, the people, turned out to the number of two thousand
or more. It was the largest concourse of people that has
been brought together iu that District siuce the campaign
of 1848. The occasion was tlie presence ot Gov. Johnson
and ex*Gov. Cobb, whose speeches are reported by the
Banner. ‘ ‘" : ' r
The Three Oaths.—We are pleased to see that the peo
ple are giving tbeir attention lo the difference in the thiee
oaths ol the Know Nothings, and the insidious manner in
which they are arranged, so as to give the members oftlie
Third Degree an advantage over ail the rest of their breth
ren. in tlu* “ wild hunt after office.”
This point has been presented to our readers heretofore.
We now quote an extract from a letter of a citizen of
Lumpkin, Stewart county, dated August 7, who tends an
order for Extras from this office.
“As 1 am writing you on business, I will call your at
tention to the difference in the oaths in legard to voting in
the three degrees of Know Nothingism. You obeeive by
comparing them, that members of the first and seor.d
degrees stand but little better chance of getting office than
an outsider.”—* Sav. News.
