THE KNOW.NOTHING REVOLT.
From Tk True American.

II appears that ths Grand Council, discovering a
presumptive detection Of votes against Daniel Ui-

President ipcludedupon the local ticket, hsve de-
termined upon summary method of covenog their
rejection, by the passage of a resolution perfectly
ufique AZ this period of American civil freedom
That the respective Council. under the jurisdiction

THIS resolution. should lie provisions be carried into

We, who oppose Romansm upon the ground Of its
Absouteism in political matters, and contemn for
eignifm for its sectional intolerance, probably
smope the last to succomb to an Imperialism which
exceeds the broadest despotsm of Russia or Austria
AND STILL in the of Liberty, Of Christian free
dom Of regent ration from slavery, We are com
manded either to lick the feet Of our woudbe mas

TIE truth is tina, the entire movement ia merely
the nschin alton Of clique OF politicians, dyed in the
wool. Who have worn out every other available de-
vice and now attempt to convert the American Soce
ties into mere machines whereby they can ride into
Office, unattsnable by other means. IL Is true,
number Of sensible, reflective di-nterested Aneri-
cans may for the moment be cajoled into an ndorse-
ment of the views of these wire-pullers, but when
the sober second thought attans them, when their
unfettered judgment coolly and calmly reveals the
extent of duplicty when the practical result OF this
Iroscriptiye tyranny will be demonstrated by the
nibilaion Of AmercaDisn, at the balot-box, then,
and too late fear, they will mourn being seduced
off the dupes of designing men, whose God and coun-
Try are the spoils OF office.
