auet at Newark on the 10th. which was
presided over By Hon. efSfHks CosSAR.
and at which, in response to toast to John
Minor Bo.l,, Of Virginia. . letter from that
gentleman was read which, among other
thinos, touches on the Know Nothigs. A.
all the public msn Of the country appear to
be ,rrsying themselves either - friends or
enemies Of the newborn party, il j. inter-
esting TO know the respective positions
they take. The following extract from Mr.
Botts' letter will show his attitude:
Think it quite manifest that there 10
about 10 be total revelation in the political
affars Of this country; and, for my own
part. am satis6ed that no change IL likely
10 be for the worse. And If the organiza-
ton Of the Wing party il to De broken up
il leaves no alternate for Us. but TO choose
between the other two partiee-the Know
Nothings, on the ono hand, and the Good for
NothinQs on the other; and having fought
against the Good for Nothings for twenty
odd years, lever since the Wing and Dem
ocratic parties were formefO an strong
II inclined now to fight on the side Of the
Know Nothings-a name, BY the way,
which think they are no name Of Dem
ocracy. for % far from their knowing moth.
ing, I think they know : great deal more
that, any other party IN the country. They
know how to do what they undertake to do,
and generally do it up pretty brown. They
don't stop, like that fellow Macbeth. to So
liloauise and reason thus:
ali. vsre done, when Ms done, then twers well
hSere done quickly
but they 60 to work pel nell, and do it in
the time - was talking about it; and that
10 the way have always liked to see good
things done. q
Now. in the language of the day, II
dont't know nothing at all about them"
but this l do knew, that If my house is in
tested with rats, mice, cockrosches, bed
bugs, ants, mosquitoes, and other plaques,
90 to an apothecary and ask him if he has
anything that will relieve me Of these nuis-
ances, and he offers me q powder that he
tells me will surely exteyminate them or,

buy it, nor stop to quarrel with him because
| don't know what sort of poison it is; | am
satisfied to know that it will accomplish my
object, that it will drive out the rats and
the mice and the reaches, &c. Now,
think this great national barn Of ours 10
SLED will al these various tormentng

help to scatter the poison that will drive
them out; and when We once purify and

Affecting Romance.


with tho death Of Dennis Bryan, the
young man who died recently at Mofeaa,
from having his legs crushed by the cars, y
connected . affecting bit Of romance whicn
has been related to US 40 follows:
After his manged limbs had been ampu-
tated, his mind aroused to the terrible con-
sciousness that he must die, and ne 'mpior'
ed the bystandsrs to "send for his Lucy -
"Where Is she!' must see her before dle
--let me see her andI caa die in peace
were his frequently CALCULATIONS ana en-
treaties His parents were asked what ne
meant---if he was married-to which they
replied that he was not, and that they knew
nothing Of the person he named - "Lncy."'
After his death it came 10 light that he had
been married about three months to lady
belonging to one Of the first families IN
Lansingburg. His wifs's parents had OPP
posed their marriage on the ground Of ms
lack Of means; and the consequence OF aiis
opposition was, the young people were clan
destinely united and their marriage kept =
profound secret. Young Bryan had placed
all his earnings. $3.50 in the hands OF his
wife, it being their intention when $500
had been accumulated, to publicly announce
their marriage. But alas! the day on which
they intended to thus claim and expect to
receive the forgiveness Of offended parents
never arrived.

Stirring sps esh.

Sone days since John NJ. Clay ton made
. stirring speech to the new American
Parry in Delaware. The following were
in brief, the principles laid down BY
him:
IL cannot now, without an utter sacrifice
Of principle. deviate from the doctrine thst
none but American citizens should enjoy
the right Of suffrage. cannot and will
not, at my period Of life, hoping and wish
ing nothing from any political party and
fearing none, depart from principal which
has governed me ever since entered pub
lie life. When We were defeated on this
question in 1896, | took my hat and left
the Senate in Disgust, and every wing in
that chamber followed me, all Of US con-
eidering that the Constitutions had been
trampled under 70 I BY the party opposed to
us.
II concur also in the sentiment express
sed BY Gen. Washington, that at is con-
trary to the policy Of this Government to
appoint foreigners to ofics to the exclusion
Of native born citizens" do not mean
by this that foreigner should never be ap-
pointed to Office mean that other cir
cumstances being squal, the American
ought to be preferred, and that was the
opinion OF Washington"
IL did not vote for the repeal of the line
in the Nebraska act, and will not vote to
repeal the repeating clause in that act, or
TO disturb the subject again. Let it rest
Repose for the passions Of nen 10 required
10 save US from ourselves. At this crisis,
when think there is far more real danger
than mas ever existed before, Gas the sequel
will .oon show,l rejoice that an American
party is to be found in the country around
which and other men who think as | DO,
can rally. The Wing and Democratic par.
ties having in different sections OF the Union
IN de the Slavery question a part of their
respective creeds, are split into irreconcila.
bic divisions, each about equally ultra in
their views and equally uncharitasle in
their abuse sfeach other"
