Richmond Enquire of the 18th ult. says =
Il Is mo- generally known, we suspect that state
ouhc of the Know Nothing Orer rs TO be held IN TINS
my 70 day. In spite OF the secrecy oil theu
move nent this fact hasranspred, and with IL comes
he additional intelligence that one Reverend slr
ans is present as representative OF the Grand Ma
J. onal Council Of Thirteen of which. Barker, OF New
York, Is President This emssary brings along re-
dundant supply Of the Of intolerance wherewitR
to inocuate the brethren in this region aH to corrupt
the native generosity Of the Virginia character He am
ports aiso copious supply OF and other ca
Of drill sergeant and hierophant.
Becoming indignant upon the subject, the
Enquirer breaks cut into the following OBJ
jurgstions -
Is is not a shame that such creatures should come
here, and under Of darkness deposit the poison
Of intolerance and prescription the soil which Jefer
conscience The movements Of the order directed
and controlled by cabal in New York and thus, should
Know Nothingism triusnph in this state, the govern
ment Of Virginia viii be the creature of the Council Of
Thirteen" Esteemng themselves competent TO the
management of their own affairs yrgnians have been
proverbaiiy jealous of foreign influence will they
now submit to the usurpaton of this concave Of New
York knew Nothngs The sentiment Of State sovereign
ty and the pride Of personal Independence equally
outraged by the attempt thus 20 subjugate
It further appears that this mysterious cnd
cabalistic order have seized upon a very ia
vorable occasion Tor the. sub,ugation of Vir-
ginia. They are holding great agricultural
State fair at Richmond, Of which the Wing
says
Our city is the scene Of unusual life and animation
Its streets and thoroaghfares thronged with the
happy and joyous Of the beauty and
~ pride Of the state. The presence of many tran
gersihe bone and sinew Of the land-drawn together
from parts Of the State by the audabe esire to
mote the great agricultural interests of their Father
land naturally presents to the rejecting Hn lively
picture Of the future prosperity Of the Old Dominion
And, in reference to the alarm sounded by
the Cabinet organ, the Wing gives utterancs
20 the general CONSERVATION in the following
terms
TO ARMS! TO ARAs!! THE ENRMY Is HERE!!.
During the whole of yesterday, the good citizens Of
Richmond, with its multitude of visitors to the fair
were almost frantic with excitement and alarm. No
each panic before existed within se broad limits OF
'he state Everybody stood appalled, overwhelmed aud
Claimed that they surrounded by host of nvis-
BILE intangible enemies, and each felt and acted
if the next might be his last Stern men stood
CHASTITY pale the livelong day; fral women wept anil
trcmbed and cried aloud for help, and children's
shrieks pierced all the heavens The whole city was
scene OF wild confusion and unutterable dismay. Dam
ger We grieve to say, still Turks in the streets and
alleys, and byeways of the town. and in the face and
gesture Of every human being meet. Which way
shall we turn, and whittier shall Ay for safety?
From murder and sudden DEATH good Lord deliver us
thousand souls the city OF Rchmond whose lives and
liberties and effects all at the mercy Of organized
army Of thieves, pickpockets and Know Nothings.
Great heavens what alarming and terrible combina
toni And just to think too that before the risn of
another sun our beautiful city may be drenched with
the blood of its noble citizens and its thousands no.
nored guests Oh may the gods protect all from
assassination by the infamous Know NothingsI
The Examiner, independent democrat, refers
to the same subject as follows
The exhibitions at the fair grounds will all be public
that is everybody can procure ticket and walk in 1t
is understood that other exhibitions Of public tendency
no nriVo Iha Moth
not exhibit their wires to the crowd for of getting
them broken to pieces They meet in councils at
night where may be found their wires and their working
tools generally
This is all the information we have thus far
of tie Know Nothing Grand Council for the
State of Virginia; but it is evident, from the
tone of the democratic press, that they regard
the invasion of the Council Of Thirteen" with
evil forebodings to the democracy. Aud, truly
if the Know Nothings do revolutionize the State
Of Virginia, the game is up with the remnants
Of the late overwhelming national democratic
party. The candidates Of young America and
the old fogies, hard shells and soft shells, will
be compelled at once to 60 into liquidation.
They need have no further fears or jealousies of
eachother concerning the next Democratic Ma
tioDal Baltimore Convention-for, in the event
of the triumph of the Know Nothings in vir-
GINA, there is an end of the resolutions of '9S
and '9s, of the teachings of Father Richie, and
Of the democratic regime, and the democratic
party. There will be only three parties re-
naming in the land-the coalition anti-slavery
party, the Know No. hings and His Holiness
The Pope OF Rome. We await the results Of the
Virginia State Fair and the Council of the
Know Nothingsin her State capital. Richmond I
Is now the Sebastopol of the terrified de.
and the Know Nothings, like the
allies have crossed the river and invested the
.own.
