THE SANDWICH lsLANDs.-There is diff
ference of opinion as to the state of the
pending negotiations for the annexation of
the Sandwich Islands to this country. The
New York Tribune says:
The only question yet to be determined
between the United States commissioner and
the Sandwich Isles was. whether they should
be annexed as n State or as Territory.
The N. Y. Evening Post, on the other hand,
says that this is inaccurate-that there is a
discussion about the price to be paid for the
Islands and those who inhabit them, which
may delay the negotiations. The authorities
of the Islands are said to ask five millions.
CoMPRoMIsED.-It is said that up to this
time, there are but two suits issued against
the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad
Company, for damages incurred by the acct
dent on the 4th of July. The suit instituted
by Mrs. Johnson, for the loss of her husband,
has been withdrawn voluntarily by that lady.
A large number of sufferers have compro-
missed on liberal terms, and the same DISPOSE
ton seems to prevail generally among those
who have not yet finally adjudicated their
claims.

AN OLD FoGY's OPINION OF THE Know
NoTHINGs.-The Commercial Advertiser OF
last evening, says the New York Mirror, came
out with the following oracular dicta on the
Know Nothings:
"Ther whole organization, aims and pro.
ceedings, are contrary to le principles of
the constitution of the United States, and
they are being told so in the Senate, in the
House, and from the press Ere long the
second sober thought of the people (the Ed
itor adds) will come to the same conclusion,
for where liberty lives and discussion is free,
that which is radically wrong can never be
permanent"
How does the writer Of the above (who is
beyond doubt a foreigner) know the aims and
proceedings of the organization which he so
flippantly denounces are radically wrong"
and "cont.ary to the principles Of the Con-
stitution or the United States!" What fault
can be found with the proceedings Of men
who profess to love their country better than
any other the sun shines on; and who hon.
esty think that native born, intelligent, edu-
Gated American citizens, are better qualified
to fill offices of honor and influence than ig.
norant, bigoted, superstitious foreigners, who
can neither speak our language, nor under
stand our laws!
Know Nothngism, as we understand it, is
anti-Romanism, anti Bedinism, anti-Pope's-
toeism, anti-Nunncryism, anti-winking virgin
ism, ant-Jesuitism, and anti-the-whole-sacer-
l-hierachism, with all its humbugging
mummeries. Know Nothingism, is for light,
liberty, education, and absolute freedom Of
conscience with strong dash of devotion to
ones native soil. Will the timorous old
Commercial tell us what harm there is in
"aims" like these.
