Of the above aehgant extract can answer at his
leisure.
Withregard to The great American party which
the Peunsy anian denounces as bastard party,
50 far as ne are able to understand their banding
together ii secret organization, il Is simply for
the purpose Of protecting and defending their
liberties and institutions against the dangers that
menace them from the insidious wiIes ol power

The Know Nothings only claim that Americans
can and ought to rule America and thus be able
to protect this God-giyen rigHtof Religions Toll
Grafton nom the grasp Of an intolerant foreign
foe, who, as they believe, IS seeking BY the aid Of
his plant emissaries an over this country, and al
othes countries, to concentrate il himself lniver
sal Polfioal and Religious Supremacy It is not
because the Know Nothings wish 70 abolish Re
ligious Toleration, which they regard as the cor
ner stone Of our republican edifce-- but because
they wish to perpetuate and hand It down to their
children and their children's children, as a rich
and impeFishable legacy that they have banded
together to place and keep the reins Of govern
ment il American, and especially Protestant
hands, and to establish on sure and permanent
foundation q pure aud ineorruptible dplsricanisa.
This So far as We can learn, IS the mission Of the
Know Nothings: and the late elections indicate
that in the face Of She bitterest opposition ever
waged against any party "a this country, they are
marching steadily forward to the fulflment Of
their glorious mission,
