Tho CompanlOn--KuOw NOthiuss.

One would suppose. on looking at the head
ings Of the Companion that il was a Know
Nothing paper, and in that there could not be
much error. for the KAOwing Editors Of that
Sheet, in their zeal to obey the beeks and
mods of their masters, have exhibited their ig-
nOranee most sgregiOusly even 10 righteousness.
II is amusing to see with what tenaeity the
Companion slings to the sinuOus path mar
ked out by the Enquirer and States
man. "TrOt daddy and trOt nanny. the colt
is rarely PAGER" For q Few weeks past the
Companion has been most violently exercised
on this exciting subject; and what has it accom-;

Such trash the Companion, has been cram

Those genteels opened a small yolley FIRST up
on US, through their most obediept servant,
"Vindex" for publishing the Major ExcOmmu-

OF Such biiter--it nearly hit us-"a miss
is as good as a mile"-and weekly since the
Companion has had something TO say about the
Know Nothings Of the Free Press.
We would say to you Mr.. Companion. "fret
not thy giEzard," longer. You have abundantly
shown that you, Mr.. Companion, Editors and
all, are down right know NOthings" naturally
so, brought up so, and we fear, will ever con-
tinue 50. Your aver that the Wings and Know
Nothings are combined With 'T7aat Tiat party did
the Know Notbings combine in KentE::1yy
The Locofoco. Were there not FIVE Know
Nothing delegates recently chosen in Lancaster
City, Pa, to the Democratic County COnven-
ton? and in numerous other instances have
they not united with the Locofocos as well as the
Wings. But of all this the Companion knows
nothing Did not Gen. Cass apply for place
amongst them? Doyou know shat, AR. Com
panionH Better keep your eye on that nest
too, Mr.. Argus. We know nothing about the
order, except what we have lsarned through
the public prints; and the information there is so
vague that no one would be safe in predica-
ting an opinion thereon, and until we become
better informed, we will with hold any opinion
on the subject. What we know nothing of we
are content to speak nothing Of The astounding
disclosures of the Companion are similar to
those OF an Irishman in Cincinnati, who had Of
ten endeavored to find the whereabouts of the
Know NOthings, After long searching he
CHANGED one nigh: to be passing by the court
house, when discrying light in the building, he
entered that stately pile, undazzled by the
brilliancy of the gass-light, and undismayed by
the majesty of the stone columns, the son of
green Erin found his way to the room occupied
by the Common Council, Here he seated him
self and listened for some time to the discus
sions of that BODY, instantly scrutlnizing the
several members. Having quite satisfied bis
curiosity he staggered out, and exclaimed in
hiccupping voice to some Of his friends near by:
And haven't found 'em meeself-the bloody
Know Nothings. YondOr they be gathering
their crazy talk.
