IHE kN0W-N0THINGS.-As far as our influ-
ence extends, we regard it both as duty and
pleasure to correct the unjust and mischievous
prejudces which are fomented and fostered
against any sect, creed or party Of men. We
are, therefore, disposed to put charitable con-
struction upon all that admits of it, and espe-
pecially to impute no bad motive where the con-
trary hypothesis is more probable. Presump-
ton Of guilt against probability is creditable to
no man.
We are led to these reflections by noticing the
denunciatory tone in which large portion of
the public press has spoken and continues to
speak of a recently organized society who are
known to the public as the &c Know Nothings y
Though little is ever said of them, it is suffi-
GENTLY evident that they are an organized secret
society; but what their aims, their plans and
their principles may be, those who know seem
remarkably disinclined to inform US. So marked
q silence in these respects is maintained by
those we know to be members, that we are in
cllned to think that secresy is enioined upon
them, and that, therefore, no information with
regard to them can be legitimate or reliable.
But in the absence of certain and definite infor-
nation, q broad field is left us for surmise and
inference.
If this society was composed of lawless and
disorderly men, men without character or stand
ing, and deserving no respect or confidence from
their fellow men, we would not then be compelled
to impute to them the best motives our imagina-
tions could suggest or our feelings of charity
prompt. But when, on the contrary, the most
respectable members of society are known to be-
long to them and to cooperate in their meas
ures, whatever they may be, with earnestness
and cheerfulness II when all who come away
from their threnged assemblies are to all ap-
pearance respectable-when we see their meet
ings commenced, continued and closed without
uproar, disorder or riot-when. in short, all APP
pearanees are in favor and none against them
except their marked and determined secresy,
how can we reasonably or charitably impute to
them the base and heartless purposes with
which partisan press chooses to load them :
What is secret is not necessarily vicious. To
charge the worst imaginable motive in the alb
sence of certain information to the contrary be-
trays deplorable ignorance of the human
heart and lack of charity, little less than
criminal. [Franklin Banner

TIE Ericsson. Ericsson has been re.

THE ERIcssoN.--The Ericsson has been re-
moved from the Government Dry Dock at Brook
Ign, and now lies at Hogg & Delamater's dock,
undergoing repairs. Her timbers are found to
be perfectly sound The degree of injury to her
machinery cannot as yet be ascertained 1t is
believed, however, that the expense of repair
will be comparatively slight, and that the ship
will be ready for her trial trip in the course Of
q few weeks The reftting of the cabins and
state rooms will prove heavy bill of expense
to the owners. The carpets, cushions and plate
were nearly all destroyed by the immersion in
the river, and the principal delay will be occa-
stoned by the necessity Of renewing the elegant
appointments of the vessel. The owners are
pushing forward the work upon the ship as fast
