5. Evans, of this city, who it says is on Do
iltlcal mission to Richmond with "a copious
supply of passarOrds and other cabalistic
signs, and is in every way equipped for the
work of dill sergeant"
The Enquirer closes by saying:
listening themselves competent to the
management Of their own affairs, Vircinians
have been proverbially jealous of foreign in.
huence; nor will they now submit to the us ur-
patton OF this conclave of New York Know

and the pride of personal independence are

The roral Know Nothings, in convention at
