NEW Jersey,


The Know Nothngs of New Jersey have adopted
platform of principles that said 10 be sound and
uuexceptonabe on the slavery queslion--and The
Know Notlngs of New York. soon to meet III con
veution, are expected to do the same. Inc pogns
American party IN tho New England States Is rapidly
tumblipy To pieces and the order assuming SOUND
| and conservative position
The above, in yesterdays Wing s evidently paseu
upon the statements in the New York Herald oil FIJI
day last. That paper publishes letter from Ne"
Jersey which SAYS that upon an ''iniormal c"nsnta
t;on" of their Grand State Know Nothing Council
| .the Jersey Know-Nothings were found to be sound
and conservative on the negro question: This il
evidently vague conjecture!
The same letter savs:
Upon the grand question Of Presidential candi'
date about two-thirds of the Council appeared to ot
in favor of George Law and the other thrd seeIled
TO be equally divided between Commodore under
bil., Commodore Stockton and Sam. Houston Either
of these men will do. for they are all rich, except
Houston md il is believed that every one OF them
give the cause liberal support, lincludnS the tx
penses Of new rituals ind constitutions, In the even!
of his being the candidate. Some say that Stockton
would shell ont the most money for active campaign
ing purposes and others OF the oplnon lhat the
Texas people would supply all the deficiencies OF
Houston. Others are firm believers in the generosIS
of George Law, Gnd there are some VINO tiIihk tna'
Vanderbilt would bleed like an OK II he wore the
III singular lHCl, va
these men seem disposed To bleed beforehand. Ihey
write splendid etters but they subscribe little or no
thing for the expenses Of new rituals and cohstitu-
tons
Hero we have On unblushing avo%al OF corruption
and bribery boiug resorted 10 by the know-Noth-
ings!
The only ground, apon which it is alleged that New
York Know Eothings are expected to he 'sound on
the slavery question" the opinion OF the New ork
Herald which is fcceiy anxious to defeat Mr.. WISE
and which saws that ''every thing depends upon the
result in Virginia. and that Virginia election may
be possibly decided by the Syracuse Council ior
Flournoy, or for Wise"
AS TO the sound and conservative position OF the
New England Secret Order, We quote from the sane
i.swe of the y. /. Herald:
