A NEW. PLANK.

His Excellency, Gov. GARDNER, of Massachu-
sets, has addressed message to the Legislature
now in session. As the first State paper from a
know-nothing Executive, it has attracted some at
tenton. 1t is remarkable paper. If hereafter
some American " Israeli should print tie ''Curi-
osties of Literature it will doubtless find a
prominent place in the collection. The Governor
proposes many reforms; among Others, "To dis
pei from popular use every foreign language"
Latin and Greek, French and German are all to be
prescribed. The Governor is evidently not learned
in the Humanites; and he is for putting his veto
upon al who are. What will the wise men of
Cambridge say? Mr. WEBSTER delighted to polish
his grandest orations with quotations from foreign
languages" Mr. EVERETT Mr.. WINTHROP, and Mr..
CHoATE, all eminent Massachusetts Statesmen and
scholars are given to the same habit They must
do SO no longer. Gov. GARDNER has announced
that they must dispeF such things from their
speeches. Heaven help US Governor, if all are
required to speak such English as you write
But the Governor puts new plank in the know
nothing platform he raises new test Among
his proposed constitutional amendments is the fol-

We protest against it. There are many men in
Tennessee unfortunately foF themselves) over the
age Of twenty-one, and natives too, who cannot
read or write. Yet they are brave, honest and pa
triotc citizens. They love their country quite as
well as Gov. GARDNER, and we are sure, would
fight for it with much more courage ard readiness.
They are taxed let them vote. fthe Governors
amendment should be adopted what q rare scene
an election would present An Inspector is on
either side Of the ballot box: citizens offers his
ballot; before it is received Inspector hands him
the Governors Message and demands that lie
should read few paragraphs if he passes mus
ter in this, then the other Inspector gives him pen,
ink and paper and requires him to write an Eng
lish' sentence. If he fails in either, though he
may have shed his blood in defence of his country,
though he may bear upon his person honorable
scars received in fighting her battles, he is dshon-
ored and ANONYMOUSLY driven from the polls

EFFECTS OF KNOW. NOTHINGIsM.

The result of know-nothingism in Michigan has
been to instruct Gen. CAss to vote for the repeal
of toe fugitive slave law and the passage Of law
prohibiting the use of the jails Of the State for
the detention of fugitive slaves.
In Illinois, it has defeated the brave General
SHIELDS for the Senate, and put in his place Zero.

Its demoralizing effects upon polticians are Illus

by the know nothings as their candidate for Gov

take ground against the Nebraska bill, which lie
had sustained while democrat.

I The STATE CONVENTION Democratic Con
ventioD, which IS to assemble in Nashville in a
short time, reflects at all the will Of the party
throughout the State there can be sort of doubt
of the nomination CT ANDREW JOHNSON, the present
incumbent. This, we suppose, will not be made a
question before the convention; but they will only
re-assert what is already clearly known to be the
will of the party on this subject, and proceed to
range the out side matters There can be no
other object in having a convention, and upon
this ground ard this alone we are for it. To
say there is any conflict of opinion in relation to
who the man should be, and the object of the Con-
ventlon will be to reconcile these difficulties, would
be to say thing that has not the shadow Of truth
about 1t. We have never seen a more universal
out-burst OF popular viii upon any subject, than
has been evnced in favor of the nomination of
ANDREW Johnson. He is the man, and the wings
may prepare to meet him. Col. Gentry we sup
pose is to be his opponent but without the formal
ity Of a Convention. The wings well know that if
they should meet in Convention, for the purpose OF
nominating standard bearer, that the party is 50
distracted and divided, that they would be able to
make no nomination. They have therefore wisely
concluded to dispense with Convention, and run a
man that is Name Li9uor-lsl0 man, a RRo1C Moth
ing anti Scott lrliy, and any thing else the par
ty desire, with vain hope that they will be able
to unite all these conflicting elements This is
delusve hope, and August next will demonstrate
that fact Greeaegale Spy.
