editors of this State have been remarkably
clever in making their papers vehicles for
gratuitous public advertisements.
Just what we think, Mr.. Sanders. 1t is
an imposition upon them to expect them to
publish what is often expected, and with you
we protest against it. We hope some action
may be taken upon the subject, by the papers

FRIDAY, Ju.~2o. 1853.
The liquor.dcalers are out with c,rc,,,r
appealing 10 their brethren, throughC,,. thu
State, to subscribe 10000 toward publish.,o
in this city, a daily newspaper devoted to their
interest. 'Dick French" has promised to sab
scribe $4,000, whenever the sum first named
shall have been raised; provided he has charge
of tho newspaper in question. French is an
~illiierate man, and the very personi6catiou of
vulgarity. Indeed, ii is impossible for a man
of his associations 10 be otherwise. The best
part Of his life was passed in the lowest kind
OF three-cent grog-shops, until he opened
FreDch's Hotel, where he sells stuff of rather
a better quality at double the price. He is one
of the thousands of rich ambitious vuFEaf ;ans
who are now sPringing upall over the coun.
try, and who will, If we Ion look out for
them, get a controlling influence ia, the State
and National legislatures.
sincerely hope that the suggestion Of the
Courier and Enquirer with reference to a ma
tional testimonial to General Scot will be ac-
ted upon. 1t requires but a little e~xeTtion BY a
few friends to raise a sum of money that would
make the old hero comfortable for life, and en-
able him to entertain military and naval off.
GERS, and other distinguished men from abroad,
who wish to pay their respects to the repre-.
sentative Of the strength, valor, and prtriot-
ism Of America. This thing can be set in, mo-
uon better perhaps, through the public and
private schools OF the United States, than Ia
any other way. Who will set the ball IN
motion?
One ofthe strangest things in this city is the
extreme difficulty with which many people bes
come acquainted wit the most ordinary items OF
int elligenee. In spite of the multitude Of
newspapers printed here, there are thousands
whose minds 1t is impossible to- impregnats
with the smallest item OF current Information.
These are mostly foreigners, unable to read
English, or any other language, probably, as
there are newspapers here in all the leading
European tongues. One Of the most remarka-
BILE illustrations of this fact is just now exhib-
tied 10 a huge list, placarded on the walls Of
the Post Office, of unpaid letters deposited in
the office, and there remaining since the pre-
went Into force. The Post Office
made extraordinary efforts to have
the fact of this change taking place universally
known, and the news papers, In each laR-
guage, seconded their ofartsb by repeated ca u
iioRs. Yet, ia spite of all this, there were
deposited, between the 9th and 10Th Of the
present month, tDslpe or fifteen hundred unpaid
letters; that is, above one hand red daily.

THE MASSACHUSETTS Know NoTHrNcs.-
The National Know Meetings. of Boston and
vicinity have adopted and ratified a platform
which places them on substa ntially the sam e
footing with their brethren of New York and
Philadelphia. They declare that the Know
Nothing organization in some parts of the
North, in lending itself to Abolitionism, has
departed from the pursuit of the objects for
which il was created, aud entered upon the
support and propagation of other sentiments
and issues. Among the timbers Of the plat
form adopted by the "Nalonal Natives" are
the following;
III. The maintenance ofthe Union Of these
United States as the paramount political good !;
or, 10 use the language of Washington, /" the
primary object Of patriotic desire, " and oppo-
sltion to all attempts 10 weaken or subvert it.
IV.--obedience to the Constitution of these
United States as the supreme law Of the land,
saeredly obligatory upon all its parts and mem
0ers. Avowing that In all doubtful or dispu-
ted points 1t may only be legally aseertnined

TINS HAsn VILE UNION ON DEMocRATIc A.
nERIcANs.-WscOpy the following from the
Nashville Union and Americas Of Thursday
for the information of whom it may concern:
"Of the prominent democrats who are re-
ported to have joined the Know Nothings, we
regret but one. All others we bid a hearty
good bye and a good radiance to. But we re-
greet James NJ. Quarles, of GAINESVILLE. We
thought better things Of him. We would
have risked q hand on II, that, to a proposition
to join this paltry trick of demngogues to ride
into Office on the miserable religious preIudiees
of the ignorant, he would have answered with
the spirit of Catharine Seyton: "Whai desert
the faith Of my gallant fathers when It is in
perif | would sooner desert their standard
when the tide Of battle pressed hardest against
i'll"
We remark-because of the similarity of
names, for il would be an insult to doubt him
that William A. Quarles, Esq, our candi-
date 70. elector IN 1852, is an active, earnest,
and efficient democrat, and opponent to Know
Nothingism."

Gratis who are not only willing, but can solicit

original thirteen opposers Of Gen. Jackson, In
this county, TO bear their standard, in any po'
Sition he might choose in this Congressional
district then the Union g. American is right
in It's estimate Of the democracy OF our friend
w. A. Quarles. This is the sort Of democracy
which Is prevalent beYe. But J. NJ. Quarles
feels that he has a higher mission than trying
TO hold together the fragments of a party that
Is tumbling TO pieces from sheer rottennsss.-
He is for the Union and the Constitution as 81 is
for his whole country. and because he has
the honesty and independence to follow the
dictates of his head, and the promptings of his
heart, he has forfeited all claim to the name Of
democrat. And who, that loves his country,
aud respects himself, win not desire to be repu.
