Nothings-The Real Merits OF the Question.
We spread before our readers this morning,
in all its am i'ude. the elab rat, spirited and
exteruina,ing mantle to of Henry A. Wise, OF
Virginia, against tie Know No binys. At this
time when the principles and ID ects of this
new, mysterious AMI towerful Political orgaui :
cation are the theme of universal discussion,
this Virginia man. esto will ma urally commend
itself to the special attention of all classes of
our readers.
Mr.. Wise has made this onslaught upon the
Know Nothings in behalf of the ADMINISTERS alton
and the democratic party, and especially OF
the democratic party Of Virginia. Ackaow-
lodged IS their most active and energetic
leader, his letter may be regarded as the plat.
form Of the Virginia democracy in reference
to the principles and purposes of the Know
Nothings. It may also be regarded as the plat
form of the administration, from the hearty
commentator which it has rece we'd lom the
Cabinet organ 1t Washin ton In this light it
is docu ent Of no ordiaary Importance. 1,
foreshadow-, to great ex ent, the reconstruc
ton IF parties for the great campaign of 1856
campaign which will, most probably, give
shape and direction to the pol ~ Of the gen.
e.ai government nr twenty years to come.
We have real this manifesto of Mr.. Wise, and
we are clearly Of the opioion tina. be does not
come within gun.ehot of the real merits of the
subject His examination of the case is narrow
and contracted. He does not touch upon the
broad and comprehensive bearings into the pas,
and into the future Of this new, exrraordiaar,
and terrible party of the Know Nothings. He
assumes their principles from con lecture, starts
up constitutional technicalitics, and tears them
to pieces with tie SIX II of county-eourt law.
yer. Believing the organization Of the Know
Nothings to be mischievous, their principles to
be unconstitutional and intolerant, and their
purposes an iDdiscrimina:e prescription Of
foreigners by birth and Catholics in religion,
Mr.. Wise is opposed to this new order of no
tves, with all his mind and all his might"
Notwithstanding taat he himself is "a Vir
ginian, 'nfus ct in cute Virginian," descend
ed from Virgnians, through the respectable
period Of two hundred years. Add this is the
gist Of his argument.
We can inform Mr.. Wise that the purposes OF
the Know Nothings are not summed up iu
an indiscriminate prescription of Catholics
and foreigners born, and that the cases which
have Brought about this spontaneous and
most remarkable uprising of this secret party
