Nov as to QUE Article u Tuesday, We have simply
to say that 1t was IS plain as We could write II,
and that we have nothing 10 explain abon: It. We
atenotjl the habit Of tetfacng orr opinions, anil
We inta6lel thot what we said on Tuesday shoHM

hliible. Wcelaim moi lot ollt opinions thattheya
necessarily orthodox, and white we ate StcaAiast in
al our political principles, We continue so only
untiLMeate convinced Of ont cttor Our neigh.
boz does not seem 10 like the idea Of otr pteferrng
tho Know NoIhinss TO Tie spawned Pierce patty.
Nell, we canBot help that When Pierce vent
b into power wc were prepared 10 do lin more Than
Justice oYcn, YET In u few shot! months VIC @cre
compelled 10 count llIs administration Tie most
blunderHg, weak, imbeeile aud unfortunate ad'
administration we had over seen in Tie country, not
excepting even John Tylet's. Now our neiShboF
issdtptIsel that we desire the Know Notlnngs 10
beat The Democracy. Why should he hc' We
reeara the present administration as The most COT
rupI, imbecile, inefficient, and destructive 10 tho
brSt interests Of tie county, and we cannot con-
caiYe how any party catl 10 worse or tend more 10
produce ruin aud ploStlatipn oil over tic Union.
Then we cannot but favor the Claims0f any patty
which promises better and which cannot do irast.
This Il The reason wly We lppc ~ SEQ Wise de-
feaed, even II the Know Nothings have 10 do It |;
this Is The reason why we orc encouraged 10 hope,
g from their past conduct, that they may in future
do good by looking to na'ioua! measures alone, ie.
gstdless Of section.
Wc arc awate that some recent demonstrations
e Nottis such as the election Of Wilson and Sew.
ard 10 thc Senute, haze caused Southern tnen to
fear fot The fatutc. Isyer? one conyet$ant with
the course Of Ibis paper, knows that no oneisHloe
,9aeobptoipslpgly opposed TO Sewata and his poll

frees0ileIs for their sectional ends, unless we arc
much mistaken III the feelings Of The Southern
members Of the older, they will ndno fraternity
south Of Mason and DSon's line.
we can SOY then, 10 our neishbor Of The Argus,
thai We mean In the future os in tho past, to op'
prove enl act with that party which We think tho
best, ami that while we prefer the Know NoIhinss
10 MI Pierce, we shall yote:wlt them rather than
with tho administration. Whenever we find our.
selves in eftot so shall voc the other wsy, AMI
this we shall ever expect 10 DO until VIC become
convinced Of human infolIibiEity alM of tho mi.
possibility Of euor. As to the Particular ptinoi.
plea Of the Older, as laid down in the organ, NO
sill speak 10 tuturc, and sc assure our neighbor
that when we are satisfied Of tho pTopIisty Of q
particular line Of conduct, we pHEsue il regard.
