AsE The editor oil the democrat mas lot
some time past lent all bis strength to the
Identification of the Wing party with that
of the Know Nothing organization. But
this is only to shield himself from the gaze
of foreigners. The Democrat has ever
been a strong advocate of the writings oil
II. II. Robinson, Esq editor of the Cincln-
natl Enquirer. Now, this same Robinson
has been particularly rabid against the
Know No;hings-lhis has been seconded
by the Democrat, accompanied with harsh
epithets, arraying them in all sorts OF col
ors. when lol il was announced that Rob-
inson had made application to become a
member Of the mysterious order, but his
corruptness Of character being so well
known was refused.
From this instance we are led to the con-
clusion that the Democrat is just as guilty
OF Know Nothingism as its leader, the En-
ouirer: that the editors hands have sunk
deep into the blood of the foreigner; that
he is guilty of prescription TO Catholics; that
he would willingly decapi,ate every for
eigner the moment he sets his foot on our
shores; that he is using every stratagem to
decoy them into his ranks for the purpose
Of inflicting his edcts of exclusion from
anv station in governmental affairs.
Both the Democrat and Enquirer have
said a superfuous amount of vituperations
against this secret order. The Enquirer
has been weighed and found wanting >
The Democrat only needs to be weighed,
and be also will be found with his hands
in the "wool Of the foreigner" Now, the
Enquirer may deny applying to the Know
Nothing order for admission, but the follow
ing, procured by the editor of the Com
mercia from Know Nothing, will prove
the assertion The Democrat will deny this
charge, but the fact is Locofocoism and
Know Nothngism are analogous TO each
other. But here is the proof
