Gentlemen Know Noth;ngs,
'ur hat is in our hOnd-we are yours truly
The Times begs your kind assistance in
stroightening o,n the world.
The foreigners run off with the gold that
bur steamers bring up from California every
week, or rather we run to give II them in
exchange for scores Of kinds Of good that
ought to be produced in our own fruitful land.
Is it right! There goes brother member
no, it is Sam himself. He wears coat made
of broadcloth from England, vest of French
pattern,and pants Of cashmere from the same
gallant country, which our Know-not-too-
much Minister was not good enough to pass
through'unmolested. He carries cane from
India, French boots pinch his corns, foreign
bu, tons adorn his coat, an English watch
ticks in his fob, and when he stops to speak
with you he takes Scotch snuff. Go home
with him, and in Turkey-carpeted parlor,by
a fire of coal from Liverpool, he will Offer you
to smoke cigars all the way from Havana,or
to drink brandy that prctends to have come
from Bordeaux.
Enter-Mrs. Sam; ri sting in foreign silk
carrying in her dainty hand fine handker-
chief Of foreign linen, ard delicately scented
with foreign perumery.
Stop to tea--An cxhilerStihg cup of herbs
from China, infused in a pot Of Britannia
ware, poured into porcelain cups from the Ce
lestial Empire, sweetened with foreign su
gar, and whitcned with milk that was made
rich wi h foreign chalk.
Shame on Sam for ths aid and comfort hi
gives to foreigners. We want that gold a
home. Let the allies pay for their foolsl
fighting in paper money. Oh, Sam! isn't
American cloth fit to make a coat Of! DE-
rot sticks enough grow in your native for
ests! Are not American calfskins tight e
nough! Does not anthracite warm you
room enough! But we will not say a wor
about that. The miners have behaved wors
than Greeks during the summer past. Ifyo
can afford sea coal, burn it, and spite tn
Pcnnsylvanians. The tea herb is little re
fractory, too, on our soil, as yet, and if it doe
not master US, the foreign may be tolerated
but for the pure wines and brandes, let u
urge you 10 "beware of foreign influence,
and when you 90 to the swine dinner" let I
advise you to"put none but American cham
paignes "on duty".-they are comparativel
harmless, since itmust be a terribly deprave
palate that can fancy enough Of them to b
the worse for their influence.
But Sam travels sometimes. Yes; to h
shame, by railroad over Welsh rails and We
ry poor ones at that. or he takes a trip in b
yacht, the favoring breeze filling his Rus
sian sails, though there is good cotton due
OF domestic manufacture abundant in I'll
market. Il Sam is sick, he sends for dot
tor-a "traveled DOCTOR" of course, who ca
parlesuouS, and tell the names of all the bone
in Dutch, and has attended lectures on I'll
Continent" and he shoves down dose
foreign medicine. Or he tries the virtue
some little pill man, who has acquired hi
intinitessimal theory and practice, and a
but his sugar and milk pellets, from a Gel
man enthusiast. But when Sam dies he
true TO his proiessio ons, and is laid in Amer
can soil. While he lives, why should he
so tied 10 foreigners for his necessities an
luXuries! Our Yankee nation imported
1853 very near S26S, 100000 worth of good.
OF these s 3 100000 were for goods free
duty, and presumed to be of character thi
could not be produced at home.
But how many millions remain that wer
paid for articles that American soil mi ct
have oeen the better for producng,and Am,
rican hands are idle for the lack Of labor OF
IL its is bad TO have a foreigner light ou
street lamps, and stand guard all night for
while we sleep, how much better is it to Il
foreigners grow rich and fat and saucy ov,
the profits of these profitable crops, and
these manufactures which natives are ach
ing and anxious to raise and turn out! Whe
the good time comes that "Amercans shl
rule America" why should not America
earth have the privilege of growing such pre-
ducts as no country can surpass her in, ar
American hands have the job of mouldr
them TO the shape of our wants!--.N Y
