The Newark Advertiser appears to under.
stand the secrets of that terrible order oi
citizens denominated "Know Nothings" bet.
ter than any of our contemporaries. We
quote:
"The idea of Know Nothing then, as
we understand il, is man who tries to
make himself acquainted with the qualifca.
lions of the various candidates put up f,r Of
fee, and votes for the one he thinks will
fill 1t best. And If this is correct, "a socie-
ty of Know Nothing must, be 4 number of
men who mean to enquire and vote tor such
among the nominees for places Of trust, as
they think best qualified for them. Ii is but
justice TO remark, that if this is their princi.
pies, and this their design, then they are
what the best men in the country, who are
not politicians by trade, but merely DESTROYS
that The best men should be 'ected for Office,
have always wished for, aud sometimes ind.
viually worked tor. The question then
arises, does this course Of conduct become a
bad one, when it is carried out and pracic.
ed OIL by an organized body Of men, instead
of the same men proceed individually and
separately! This is for every one to decide
in pronouncing on the character of this for
midabie party, as some regard it, but which
John NJ tchell affects To disDise.''

A LUCKY FAMILY.-In the present Con.
gress there are two members who are
brothers-lsrael ashburne, Jr., who rep.
resents the Galena district, in Illinois.
They are both gentleman of ability, and one
QsreaD hes just been reelected, in Maine
by majority of nearly four thousand. The
Illinois brother has been nominated for re.
election, in his district, and " i'll, unquestion-
ably, be successful. Another brother, Mr..
{, {. Washturne, has been nominate for
Congress by his political friends in Wiscon-
sin, and his chance of an election is good.
The three are Wings, and possess fine tai
ents; and if elected, we presume it will be
the FIRST instance in the history of our coun-
try, that three brothers have held seats, at
the same time, in the U. s. House Of Rep
resentatives.

For the Evansville Journal.

EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL
Sri see in your paper Of Yesterday, an
article over the signature of JOHN s. TERRY,
in which he asks me certain questions, the
same that he put to me in the Reform some
four or i've weeks since, TO which | replied
then as now, that never said to any man
that ! was sorry was not a member oil
that secret political order commonly called
"Know Nothings," for if ] had SO desired
could have been one any day in the week.
| have been frequently solicited to unite
with them by members of the order, and
as often positively refused to do so. Again
he asks me if did'n, say to persons that
was an A merican, and an American in prin.
ciples. ! answer by saying that I did say
was an American, ant am proud of it,and
here reiterate it, but deny ever having
said that was a supporter of the Native
American party. Now wish TO ask Mr.
TERRY a few questions which hope he will
answer like man, and without dodge
Are you, or have you not belonged to a Ger
tain secret political society known out doors
as the "Know Nothingsr" You say that you
have denied this-you denied being a Know
Nothing, but you have rot denied belonging
to secret political society. You have hith
erto sought to answer my charges by the
Yankee method of charging me back. Come
out If you DO not wish to deceive the commu
nifty. and say whether you are CT are not the
nominee of a certain secret political ossocia
ton, known to the outsiders as "K now
Nothings." and until you give a more direct
answer than you have hitherto done,
will pay no further attention to what 20,
may deem fit to publish.

These victories were, however, dearly

Mexican loss was in much greater proper

The Disgust OF Foreigners.

Tie Democratic orators who are travers.
ing the State and insulting the intelligence
ofevery foreigner IN their honeying attempts
at dc,ation and toadying, perhaps do not ful-
ly appreciate the loathng and disgust with
which they are viewed by very large mass
of our intelligent foreign population. There
is no one attribute in the foreigners breast
that he prizes more highly than his orn in.
dependence. We are sure that there is no
class Of people in cur country more Jealous
TO become familiar with our institutions and
laws than a very large class of our foreign
population, yet while they are willing to
learn and be informed, there s no class who
so heartily despise dictation, especially from
the demagogues Of a political party.
An intelligent and honest democrat Of for.
eign birth is responsible for these sentiments,
and assures US that there is a determination
among his foreign brethren to convince the
arrant demagogues Of the day that they feel
above the insolence of their dictation, and
as American adopted citizens, will hereafter
do their own thinking and voting.

The Dfstur b.ancc at the Meeting, Tues
day Night.

We presume our contemporary Of the En-
quirer and his Douglas associates, will
charge all the disturbance that occurred a,
Apollo Hall on Tuesday night, upon the
Wings and anti-Nebraska people. They
must not, however, lose sight of the fact
that it was the Wings alone, who restored
the quiet Of the meeting. Mayor Hopkins
Sheriff Gavitt, and many other leading
Wings exerted themselves to their utmos,
to prevent disturbance and restore order in
the meeting. There was no disposition on
the part of the leading and responsible
Wings of the city to interfere in the least
with the meeting after the refusal of the
chairman to allow areply. On the contra.
ry, We know that the leading Wings coun.
selled their friends against ANY demonstra.
tions of opposition in the meeting.

Gov. JOSEPH A. WRIGHT, of Indiana
closed his annual message of Dec. 2, 1851,
mot yet three years ago. with this memora.
BILE passage:
"The high conservative ground maintain.
ed by our State is shown i'm the tact that we
support no man who favors agitation. Our
people want peace, and they esteem no stc-
rlfice, short Of that Of principle, too great to
secure it.
Indiana holds him an enemy 10 the we'll
being Of this Republic sho pursues any
course tending TO widen the breach between
the North and the South. Minor questiors
sink into insigni6cance compared TO the
great paramount duty Of every American
citizen, the preservation OF the integrity of
the Union.
Each and all OF the laws constituting
that compromise, which hus been as oil cast
upon the troubled waters, are ussented to,
and have been carried cut, so far as they
apply to us, in word and letter, accordin.
to the strictest judicial construction, by the
citizens Of our State. This has been done
cordially, and with as near an approach to
hearty unanimity as any measure enacted
TO reconcile similar sectional differences can

"Indana desires to see the compromise
made under the Constitution, and expressly
framed to carry into effect its provisions, re-

as we'll as tn the North-that these measures
must stand-thet this sectional controversy
must not again be opened up-thai time, as an
element which enters into everything that
IS valuable, must test their wisdom and eff.
cacy-fhat from whatever quarter of the
Union efforts shall be made to revive this
sectional agitation Indiana is against it.
"She iavors not, nor will she by her votes
countenance those who favor, the opening
afresh, in any manner, or under any pretense
the questions so recently and so happily dis
posed OF, let us hope forever. Our duty is
plain, abide by The past, sustain the measures
faithfully, cease agitat on, and trust for the fu-
fure to the the intsfgence and patriotism of the
people under the guidance Of Providence"
