CAN'T UNDERSTAND Tive see that the Ad-
ministration presses, in this State, when they
address themselves to Free Sellers, tell them
they have been swallowed up by the Wings;
and when they address themselves to the Wings
they tell them that they have all been swallowed
up by the Free Sellers. Now, unless the old
story of the " Kilkenny CATS" that cat each
other up, all but the tips of their tails, is true
and has been realized in the case in question,
both of the assertions of the aforesaid Editors
cannot be true; and, as we have an interest in
knowing, we wish they would tell us which is
true, and which is false If we have been
swallowed, we wish to know it, for we should
not lose much time, in that case, in trying to I'M
swallow ourself; but if the dilemma is on the
other horn, then we have nothing to do but keep
the digestive organs in condition of health and
vigor adequate to the task required of them to
perform,

If the Know Nothing party think the liber-
ties of our country are in danger from foreign
immigration, Or the influence of Roman Catho-
lies upon our civil insitu tions at elections prob
ably all possibility of such result may be re
moved by making our laws Of naturalization
what they should be, and by suitable caution
not to vote into office any persons except those
who are so free from foreign principles and feel
ings as to become fit to be trusted to manage the
affairs of our government At any rate, no at
tachment 10 the principles of any foreign gov
eminent, or subservience to the Roman See,
could more unfit man to execute an important
Office in the Ameri can government than the at
tachment of Shareholders to the institution of
Slavery, and their determination to subject eve
ry thing to its support, though if that prevails
Liberty becomes extinct.
Twill venture to hope that the members of
the Know Nothing party are so numerous, and
80 enlightened, and so honest, and SO patriotic,
and SO well remember the vast amount of blood
and treasure expended in establishing our inda

stand all attempts and allurements of whntey
character, to make them forget the onlyi5,
upon which now depends the continuance q"

The NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITE

The NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED
SrArEs.-The number of Shareholders in the
United States, about which for years there has
been SO many disagreeing opinions, has at length
been officially ascertained. De BOWS Appendix
to the last Census has been recently published,
and in it table in which the Shareholders are
numbered and classified, and by which it ap-
pears that the whole number of Shareholders in
the limited States is BAT ,525
Of this whole amount, the number hold
ing slave each is 6S,S2O
The number holding that but less than
slaves each lO5,683
The number holding that, but lees than
10 each, is sO,75S
The number holding that, but less than
20 each, is 54,595
The number holding that, but less than
50 each, is 29,73S
The number holding that, but less than
100 each, is 6,l96
The number holding that, but less than
200 each, is 1879
The number holding that, but less than
500 each, is 81
The number holding that, but less than
1000 each, is
The number holding over 1000 each is 2
Now, what table can be found in the whole
round Of our national statistics furnishing so
much food for reflection as this! Only about
one sixty-sixth part Of our population il
slave holding, and yet that sixty-sixth part
costs the nation more trouble and more treasure
than all the rest. Can it be that this great and
growing nation will always permit this SO to
remain
