Careless, indeed, must be the observer
who fails to perceive in these sectional broils
the greatest danger to the future prosperity
Of the new Order. Secret pledges are ali very
we'll as far as they 60, yet we have seen that,
where they conflict with old national feelings
and prejndices, they lose their force and are
abandoned. A Northern Council of Know
Nothings could scarcely erect Platform upon
which the mysterious brethren of the South
would be willing to stand and light; nor can
it be expected that the Southern Wigwams
could frame opinions for their Northern breth
ern. Then, again, there is middle class. VINO
have distinguished themselves by taking tl,inos
pretty much as they are, and who are al,cavs
for the inseparable Union of the Ststes-these
cannot be ruled or governed by either of the
extreme ends of the American party. As
well might you attempt to back a YOUNG mule
up perpendicular hill
With these sectional jealoUsies and anirnosi
ties--with the thousand and one creeds and
platforms, each contending for different rights.

ferent ends-we ask, in the name of all that

KNOW NOTHING Professionally have

the respectable portion of community against

Butte County hombres, whose Office seeking

tanning an honorable subsistence, have been
travelling over the county establishing Hin

had hoped that the day for the success of such
political demagogues had passed. and that the
people would dispose of Offices within their
gift, instead of being tied up and controlled
by the Vaccinations Of willy political trick
sters. Our prosperity as q county, as a state,
people and government, depends upon
the defeat of such designing men, and the
election of qualified and honorable men to
public stations. Men who are connected with
an oath bound secret political society, are
disqualified from discharging the duties Of q
public office, in the impartial manner re-
quired. The coed, honest, straight forward,
and pure minded citizen, can discharge his
duty to his country, without lettering himself
