The following letter from the first man iu Ken j tucky that belonged to the Know Nothing Order— I a gentleman of talent and worth—will be read with interest. The Courier remurks that “ scarcely a | mail arrives but brings us the name of some Old | Line Whigs, who repudiate Know Nothingism.’’ Cynthiana, Dec. 16, 1855. j J/c ssrs. Editor#: I have been a member of the ! party known iu popular parlance, as the Know i Nothing party. lam so no longer. And it is for the purpose of giving my friends my reasons for leaving it, that I address you this letter. I was for merly a Whig. Next to my God I looked upon and reverenced Henry Clay. From my earliest re collection his praises have been sung in my ear, and as I grew in years, it was my pride, my toast, that under bis command, with the star-gemmed •tandard of our country floating above my head, my step has been to the music of the Union. Remembering the many dangers, trials and vicis situdes suffered and endured by our forefathers— their marchings in the dead of winter, when their path could be tracked through the snow by their bloody footprints—in the heat of summer, when the wild roots of the forest appeased the gnawings of ! hunger—when, night after night, the stars served as their watchnres, and the canopy of Heaven serv ed them for a tent —of the blood expended, and the lives yielded up—when such remonstrances as these warm my blood, I look upon the form of Govern ment then formed as Heaven-sent; and have often thought that the compact drawn up by those revo lutionary patriots, binding this confederacy togeth er, was an instrument of Divine inspiration. In common with most other Whigs, I imagined the repeal of the Missouri Compromise measure of 1820, was an act totally uncalled for, and calculated to re-arouse that terrible animosity on the part of the North against the “ peculiar institutions”’ of the South. I thought that the repeal of that com pact could not merit too severe condemnation. I, therefore, without examination into the truth or foundation of such an opinion, considered the Dem ocratic party as composed of reckless men, who would glorv in the destruction of the Uniou, if they could build up their own personal fortunes upon its ruins. I joined the American party. I did wrong. I know it now; I thought otherwise then. [ joined it in good faith; 1 quit it in the same manner. The leadership of tho party has fallen into the hands of reckless and ambitious men; they have forged the chains about the limbs of the honest masses of the party; they have ground them to the dust, and placed their heels upon their necks. Thev are Henry M. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, and N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts. What are the ante cedents of Mr. Fuller? He was the staunch friend and zealous advocate of the election of William F. Johnston, when that arch traitor and Abolition leader was a candidate for the Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania. Mr. Banks is the right bower of Senator Wilson, a devoted admirer and zealous worshipper of Charles Sumner. lie left the Dem ocratic party because that party- promulgated the sentiment that the Constitution protected the rights of the South as well as those of the North. For him are the Northern men voting. The poisonous weed that grew up in the Whig soil, and choked and overrun the healthful grain, finally waved in foul but luxuriant control over the whole, has formed root in the bosom of the new party. I mean Abolitionism. As sure as the sun passes from the east to west, so surely will the Abolitionists obtain dominion in the Know Noth ing councils. As the Whig pavtv died, so they will die, and it may be amid the blood and havoc of civil war. We have fallen upon evil days. The position of affairs in Kansas portend troublous times in store—perhaps at no distant day. I would exhort all true Southern men to look the peril full in the face. Look for yourselves, and trust not the syren song of the politician—he sings for self. Look at the position of affairs in the present Con gress. Look at the men for whom the representa tives of the Know Nothing party—Southern as well as Northern—are working. I do not wish to he understood as saying that the Southern w ing of the American party is tinc tured with Abolitionism far from it. But 1 do assert that the Northern w ing is thoroughly 'Abo litionized. Their voting in Congress proves the trntli of tliis. Thev are voting for Banks, a man whom Horace Greeley endorses as sound upon the Nebraska question—a man over whom, 1 regret to say, Geo. I). Prentice attempts to place t lie cloak of nationality. The time has come for all Southern men to unite with that party which stands by the Constitution and the Union—-that party is the De mocratic party. The votes of the Northern and Southern delegates in the present Congress fully prove such to be the fact. For this reason, and with the full approval of my own conscience, I unite w ith them. Respectfully yours, W. Wallace Grubi.lb. Freighting Business. —There are loading, this week, at New Orleans for Liverpool, seventy ves sels, against twenty-nine at the same period last vear. No less than one hundred and eighty ships and barques arc at this time loading in the South ern ports for foreign ports, one hundred of wiiich are for Great Britain. Mobile Register, Jart. 6. There is a mysterious connection between the Southern Know Nothings and the Northern Re publicans. See how they hang together. Pen nington, of New Jersey, votes for Batiks, for Speak er; Fuller, of Pennsylvania, votes for Pennington; and Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, and the rest of the Southern Know Nothings, vote for Ful ler. Fuller is sound enough for Marshall, Pennington is sound enough for Fuller, and Banks is sound enough for Pennington. Why is Banks, then, not sound enough for the Southern Know Nothings? We should see interesting developments were it not for tho people at home.— Louisville Democrat. Thk Great Cities of the World. — -Their Rela tive Drou th. —The present century has witnessed an increase in the population of great cities unex ampled within the historic, period, and, doubtless, unrivalled since the world began. A few sta tistics, compiled from the census reports of Great Britarn and the United States, wilt exhibit this. To begin with England. In 1801 the population of London was about nine hundred thousand. By 1810 it had risen to more than a million; by 1820 to a million and a quarter; by 1830 to a million and a half; and finally, by 1850, to two millions i and a third. But the growth of other English cities has been proportionately even greater. Man chester, in 1801, had a population of only eighty four thousand; it. numbers now over three hun dred thousand. Liverpool, at the beginning of the century, had hut eighty thousand inhabitants, while fifty years later thev had increased to nearly four hundred thousand. Birmingham, in 1801, had a population of seventy-three thousand; in 1850 it had two hundred and fifty thousand. The chief cities of Scotland increased not less rapidly. Glas j gow, which had but seventy-seven thousand inhab | Kants ill 1801, bad three hundred an sixtv-seven ! thousand half a century afterwards. Even Ireland exhibits a growth, though to a less degree, in city populations. Dublin had but one hundred and eighty thousand inhabitants in 1800; in 1850 it had two hundred and fifty thousand. On the continent of Europe, as a general rule, j the great cities have likewise increased in popula tion, though the ratio has been inferior to that wit nessed in England and Scotland. Paris, spite of the revolutions which have convulsed it, has stead ily risen from a population of half a million, at the beginning of the century, to over a million at the present time. Vienna, which had two hundred an.l tbirtv thousand denizens in 1800, has nearly five hundred thousand now. The population of i Berlin, in 1 son, was about one hundred and fifty j j thousand; it is now three hundred more; in other ; . words, it has trebled in fifty years. Even Naples, j ; spite of a tyranny almost without parallel, has in- ; j creased its’population, in the same interval, from | ! three hundred thousand to four hundred and si x- i ! teen thousand. Turin has one hundred and thirty- i | five thousand now, against eighty thousand half 1 ! century ago. Odessa, which had hut eight thou- j ' sand iu 1803, is estimated to have had over a liun- i i dred thousand when the existing war began. A few great cities onlv have remained stationary, or ; ) retrograded, of which Moscow, Amsterdam and j Rotterdam, are the principal. Venice itself, so long j declining, increased from ninety-seven thousand iu ! i s:;7, to one hundred and twenty-six thousand in i 1852. j But the cities of the l nited States have increas- I od in population more rapidly than those either of Continential Europe or of England. In 1800, the inhabitants of Philadelphia were but little over | seventy thousand, whereas now they may he fairly computed at over half a million. In 1800, New York had a population of sixty thousand, now it has six hundred and twelve thousand. Boston had twenty-four thousand denizens half a century ago; in ls.'io it had about one hundred and forty thou sand. Pittsburg had fifteen hundred in at present it has over fifty thousand, exclusive oi Al legh&nv Citv, which is really a suburb of it. Cin cinnati had seven hundred and fifty in 1800 ; it had one hundred and fifteen thousand in 1850 ; it has ! o ver a hundred aud seventy thousand now. Bttfia lo was a wilderness in IS<*o, and even so l&te a* 1810 had only fifteen hundred inhabitants, it ha* now more than forty-five thousand. In udditiou 1 there are scores of towns in the West, which were not laid out even so late as twenty years ago, which have now ten or twenty thousand denizens [Philadelphia Ledger.

The Old Soldiers’ Convention met in Washing ton to-day, and waited on the President. They passed a resolution, the object of which was to place the soldiers of lbl2 on the same footing with i those of the revolution. Telegraphed to the South-Side Democrat. New York, Jan. 8. —The British steamer Cana, da, after a tedious passage from Liverpeol, which she left on the 22a ult., arrived this morning at Halifax. Iler news chiefly goes to confirm the pre vious rumors regarding the probability of a peace between the Allies and Russia. It is well known that both parties are sick of the war, and the middle classes of the people of ling land are quite tired of it, all seem only to wish for peace on terms that will not be too hard on nation al honor. In regard to speculations concerning Count Es terhazy’s mission, it is reported that Oscar, King of Sweden, has formed a treaty with the Allies. The affairs in the Crimea are still tranquil, and though each party keeps a sharp lookout for the movements of the other, no hostilities have since taken place between them. In Asia the armies are still in tho same positions. STATE OF ENGLISH MARKETS. In the English markets Cotton has languished, the sales of the week being 26,000 bales. New Orleans Cotton was a 1-16 lower. Uplands unchanged in comparison with the Pacific’s ad vices. Flour was dull at the same price. Corn was Is. lower. White ai 505.; and Yellow at 44)<jS.

Wheat had declined 2d, in the markets. Wheat vva3 at Us. 9d. to 12d. 2d. Southern flour at 425. fid. Corn had declined in consequences of large arrivals to Ireland and, the Black Sea. Washington, Jan. B. —The Democratic Commit tee met at noon to-day, at the National Hotel. The members only carried on a brief discussion as to the day for holding the National Convention. The Committee appointed tho first Monday in January for holding the National Convention in Cincinnati. No other business was effected. An invitation was accepted to attend the meeting of the Jackson Democratic Association this evening, to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. They then adjourned. Washington, Jan. 8. There was a meeting this afternoon of the Bond-holders of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. They represented nearly one mil lion of dollars. A resolution was adopted for ap pointing a committee to represent the interests of tile concern before tho Maryland Legislature, in or der to procure that the management of the canal be divested from State control, or else to effect tho sale of said work on terms, as to secure payment to the Bond-holders of their claims and coupons, with one-quarter per cent, assessed on every bond, and a tax to defray the expenses of the stated out lay of the canal to absorb its income. There is six hundred thousand dollars interest unpaid, indepen dent of the Virginia guaranteed bonds. The entire debt being #2,600,0i>0. The Bond-holders declared the canal nearly in a bankrupt state, and that it only needed a declaration to make it so. The canal cost between fourteen and fifteen millions.
