Suppose that TO be SO, there are worse
secls among US, whom KnOw-Notbings pre-
tend hot to assail. There are the Mormon
polygamists; there are the necromaneers Of
spiritual rappings; and there is sect which
aspires not only to destroy free government,
but the great globe and all that il inhabit-
the millennial Milerites. And it is abou.
as likely thatthe Millerites willset the world
on fire in one day. as that Popery will ever
be able to break up or bow down this Re-
public. The prophecies must all fail, and
Chlist's dominion upon earth must cease,
and printing presses, and telegraphs, and
steam must be lost Ia the arts; and revolu-
tons must fall and catch Know. Nothings,
before the times of Revolutions are out, and
the Pope catches "Uncle Sam"
No, no, no-there is not reason in all
these complaints which is not satisfied by
our laws as they exist, and not IN error
which may not be corrected by the proper
application of the lawful authority at our
command; without resorting to the extraor'
binary, extrajudicial. revolutionary, and
anti American plan Of secret society of in.
tolerance and prescription. ........... ..,.

A Few Suggestions to the X, Ms.

We urgently and kindly appeal to those
who are hesitating about the propriety of

and no corresponding benefits confert d.
