GA Know Nothing lodge of colored persons was
organized in Elmira, n. Y, last week, being the
eighth of that complexion in the State.
The above from the Baltimore Sun of Saturday,
is the latest Know Nothing news, The idea is cap
ital What earthly right have these outside barba-
rians Englishmen, Frenchmen Irishmen, and Scotch
men, to come here and get fat on the land
which of right belongs to the Native American
black? Heavens what an outrage has been perpe-
trated these IS 80 on the innocent wearers
of wool! 1t must make their black blood boil to
think how they have been abused, and swindled out
of their fair inheritance, the United States of North
America, by these "darned foreigners" Clear the
track then for the free darkies to assert their in
aienabe rights" by the side of their white brethren,
and good sooth, they have, clan, better claims
than these same brethren. For nearly fifty years
there has been no importation from Africa, and by
this time the native blood must be pretty pure.
Down then with the paddles, up with the pican-
n nnieS. g..
in the National Council, and side by with some ex-
Honorable dis Honorable from Virginia or South
Carolina, will sit thick Tipped, curly pated bro
ther American" greasy and odoriferous.
Would it not be we'll to have colored candidate
for the Presidency? The abolitonists would all 60
for him through instinct, and the brethren would
be bound by their oaths to "go in" or resign. Re-
ioice then, We nations, the millennium is at hand,
black stock is rising and the land shall be possessed
by its legitimate native owners, the distinguished
ebony gentlemen from Africa The bud Of Know
Nothingism has burst and here's the flower.

correspondent of the Baltimore Sum- thus speculatcs
concering the Presidents forthcoming message:
"The Presidents forthcoming Message is said to
be prepared and awaits only such additional views
as advices may suggest in regard to our foreign
relations.
An American policy in regard to our intercourse
with foreign nations will probably be disclosed and
insisted upon, in this message. This policy is no
doubt identical with that which the recent Congress
of American Dpomatists at ostend settled and adop-
ted 1t points at the means of maintaining our ca
reer of territorial expansion consistently with the
preservation Of fpresent amity with European powers
European Cabinets are to be made to understand
that our commercial and political necessities render
unavoidable the acquisition of Cuba and the Sand
wich Islands, and that it is entirely consistent with
onr peaceful intentions in regard to all the world.
The message will undoubtedly recommend hostile
measures in regard to Spain. The provisional
means 5" asked for in the two messages relative to
the Black Warrior affair cannot again be proposed,
after final refusal by Spain to make the required
reparation for that alleged outrage The President
must, for the sake of consistency, take warlike
tone this subject but it is not probable that con-
gress will not be disposed than heretofore to
second it by the adoption of any hostile measures" "

DISPATCHES RECEIVED. The Washington Star states
that it is understood that Don Patt Esq. U. s. Sec
rotary of Legation at Paris brought important des-
patches from Mcssrs Mason and Buchanan, with
letters from Mr. Soule written while in Paris on his
way to Madrid. Mr.. P. was yesterday morning clo-
sted with the Secretary of State and afterwards for
some time with the Secretary of war.
The Washington Star states that the impression
is current in European diplomatic circles of that ci
ty that the Spanish government, acting under the
prestige influence of what has Of late transpired
in France will certainly refuse again to receive Mr.
Soule. r

H The Richmond Enquirer has these forcible
remarks in relation to the Know Nothings and the

rellaThS III Feiati0n 10 the Know N0thlngS and the
AboEtionists: = ~-'.
It is amazing that there should be found at the
South any allies OF the secret Vaccinations of Know
Nothingism, in view of the garng fact that in the
recent elections in the non-slave holding states the
Aboitionists and ow-Nothings, with rare excep-
tions co-operated. In Massachusetts, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania, these two disorganizng and
constitution breaking factions supported the same
tckets-tickets formed with reference to the over
throw OF slavery; and whose principles, if carried
out into practice by the action of the Federal Gov
ernMent, Will crush the South and instantly dissolve
the onlonInot single member Of Congress is elect
ed by combination of Northern Wings Tor Aboli-
tonistS and Known-Nothings, who is not in favor
OF the repeal of the Nebraska BILL the restoration of
the Missouri antisayery restriction, the abrogation
OF tbe fngitte slave who will not go to the
death against the acquisition of Cuba Even in
New York, where the Know -Nothings made sepa-
rate nomination for Governor, we have the word of
the New York Tribune that a large portion of them
repudiated the nomination of the Ullman convention
and vowed their allegiance to Clarke the Abolition,
Whig and Maine liquor law candidate. In Massa-
chusetts, Gardner, the triumphant gubernatorial
candidate Of the owNothings, openly boasts that
he has always been advocate for the repeal or
modification of the fugitive slave law that he was in
aVor OF the fusion of the Wings and Free-soilers,
that he never did and never will vote for man who
is or has been n'favor of the fugitive slave law and
that in June last he signed a memorial to Congress
for its unconditional repeal"

NORTH CAROLINA BANK NOTES. A rumor having
reached Petersburg that the Commercial Bank of
Wilmington, the Bank of Washington, and the Bank
of marlborough. N. c., had suspended specie pay
ments, Mr.. j. F. Simmons, gentleman Of N. Carroll
na contradicts the rumor through the Petersburg
Express. He says:-" / am aware that the money
market is tight every where, and banks are closing
in almost every State, and possibly some of ours
may be caught in the great maclstroom, but don't
like to see them put there by Madame Rumor till
they are there in fact beliere all our banks are
safe, and they stand upon firm basis and kno,o
that there is ground for supposing otherwise at
present. But, suppose the rumor for suspension
were true the holders of the notes. especially of the
Wilmington and Wadesborough banks, would do
themselves injustic to submit to any loss them,
for the stockh0lers in their individual capacity,
responsible, and am personally acquainted with
many of those stockholders, and know them to be
men of wealth."
The Brokers of Richmond, we understand, have,
within the last two three days. raised the price
of exchange North Carolina notes to four per
cent rise occasioncd, probably, by the above rug
NOR; and some of our citizens, yesterday, refused
to receive them in business transactions. We know
not the of their depreciation, and shall not
ourselves venture any advice to holders on the sub:
icct Our confidence in the sovency of such North
Carolina notes as have generally been in circulation
amongst us, is still of sufficient strength to enable
us to say that they will be received at par value in
payment of dues to our office. The editor of the
Express, Petersburg, where these notes circulate
very freely, advises all WHO hold them not to part
with them except for their full value.
~ Il. Richmond Enquirer.
Of course all Of us must feel very grateful towards
the Enquirer for such confidence in the sovency
of North Carolina notes" as to enable it to say
that they win still be received at par value in pay
nent of dues y to that office. .,5,.-.Z
There is considerable run, just now, upon our
Banks for specie and this demand, we learn comes
to no small extent from Spectators in Norfolk Pc
tersburg and Richmond The Banks in this State
have we believe. been generally well managed; and
we do not doubt they viii go through the present
financial crisis quite as successfully as tae Virginia
Banks. There isno good reason for asking in Rich
mond four per cent. discount on North Carolina
notes and those citizens there who have been re-
fsing them in business transactions must be either
not in want of fnnds:or very timid.
The rumor of the insolvency Of the Farmers
Bank, Elizabeth City, turns ont to be unfounded.
That institution may have met with revefses,
but e has not even uspended specie yments nor
is IL atsall probable that it will do so, q $50

returned Creoles to be shot, and that the sentence
was carried into execution.

brilliant festivities.

HOME AND FRIENDS.

Oh there is power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed 1t:
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be who find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found US;
For life hath here no light 50 dear
As home and friends around US.
We Oft destroy the present joy,
For future hopes and praise them,
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom ut our feet,
If we'd but stoOp to raise them!
For things afar still sweetest are
When youths bright spell hath bound us:
But soon we're taught that earth has naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
To show you still, that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, ifbut the light
From friendships altar crowned us,
'Twould prove that bliss of earth was this,
Our home and friends around us

asked, who is the governor?" Up to Saturday
evening we did think that Governor Seymour was
reelected, and gave expression to the thought in
much more positive language than we are in the

received information in regard to the reported action
of the county canyassers which savors marvellously
of intention to cipher Gov S. out of his election.
