His family entreated him not to set out at such

brooked no further opposition. The moment he was

The Know NOthings.

a secret political organization, bearing the
above unpromising title, has an existence in
nearly all the cities and towns throughout the
Eastern States. The principles of the Know
Nothings are curious compound, of ultra
Conservatism, Native Amcricanism and Whig-
gerry. Their operations are carried on with
unferrctable secresy, no one knowing anything
of their character until developed at the polls.
Hence, probably. their name. A remarkable
instance of the perfection to which they have
reduced the system of canvassing, was given at
recent election in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Two candidates only were before the people
for the legislature but to the profound aston
islment of the politicians of that community.
when the votes were counted, u third man was
fund to be elected bya majority of several
hundreds, whose name had never been publicly
named i'll connection with the position.
This fact shows the organization to be un-
der the control of consummate politicians
Considering its age, it surpasses in effective
ness the efforts OF any other body of men in
our history. The ultra character of their doe
trincs, will, of course, prevent their diffusion
over the country to any great extent and their
operations must be confined to the cities where
are centralized large bodies of forcgll-bOrn cit
liens, to whom they arc opposed.
Their name and professions make them the
butt of wits everywhere. They lay IA claim to
antiquity. whcrcupon some wag endorses the
gcnuineness of the pretension, by avcrring that

Col. WENTWORTH, member of Congress from
the Chicago district of Illinois, writes to his
paper, the Democrat, that on the I'd of May,
Col. RICHARDSON gave the House notice that
the week thereafter he should move to take up
the Nebraska Bill, and should resort to all fair
parliamentary means to accomplish his pur-
pose The precise means he did not tell ; but,
when questioned, he said the House would
know at the proper time. The contest will be
in the Committee of the Whole, and so there
will be no ayes and noes, and no record. II
will be purely one of tactics, where all the in
fucnce of the organization of the House and
the great mass of the experience of the House
will be OH one side. AS it is doubtful which
side has majority, one of the strongest scuf-
files is anticipated that ever took place on the
floor of the House of Representatives. If
there is force enough to take up the bill, there
will be to pass the bill.
Some Northern Democrats say they cannot
vote for the bill with the Anti Foreigner clause
embraced whilst the great mass of southern
men of all parties, declare that they will not
vote for the bill if that be stricken out.
Mr.. WENTWORTH thinks that the bill will
be passed or beaten just exactly as it is
There seems to be an understanding among its
friends that it shall not be amended. On the
bill as it is Iowa stands one for and one a.
Michigan stands two and two. Indiana stands
five and five. Every "Iard' in New York
will oppose the bill. Every "Barnburncr" will
oppose the bill. The Solts, being four out of
the entire delegation, are rcckoned as favoring
